I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Smallpipes is an unusual instrument for jazz/jazz-rock and so is harp. Here's a rather good album from Amanda Whiting:Originally Posted by per anporth
Ok - so I'm going to beg for a little leeway here...
One of the best albums released last year was carry them with us by the Scottish smallpipes phenomenon, Brìghde Chaimbeul, in collaboration with reedsman Colin Stetson. Strictly speaking, this isn't jazz at all (although Stetson is something of a jazzer). But in other ways, it does fit the minimalist bill (& I couldn't really think of another place to post this)
I had the pleasure of seeing Brìghde Chaimbeul play in her trio with the great Ross Ainslie on pipes & Steven Byrnes on guitar at the Sidmouth Folk Festival - the trio that released the magnificent Las album in 2022 - & she is utterly mesmeric to watch, & to listen to.
Her technique on the smallpipes (she is the only person playing them in the world at this point) "emphasises rich textural drones and a trance-like constancy of sound" - hence my hunch towards posting hereabouts...
That Brighde Chaimbeul is excellent

I like the compositions and the feel on this album, but I'm finding the, what appears to be, canned/programmed drums and percussion a little distracting.

Yes, this is my immediate reaction as well.
Btw - on his recent album(s), Matthew Halsall has a harpist - the sound works brilliantly in his music, &, having seen him live recently, I can also say that the harpist is a remarkable *presence* on stage as well as playing brilliantly in the band setting.
I'm chuffed to bits that you like it, Ian! ☺️
The live album is available on Amazon and most streaming services.
