What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Wonderful new artist discovery, Emaline Delapaix, Australian singer/composer who lives in Berlin now.

Exorcism:

 

And her wonderful Single, Bend of the Trees

 

Ah, missed her new release. Big fan so just bought this one on Amazon (couldn't find it on high-res sites). Thanks Bob.

Very smooth/mellow album; just my bag. :b ...Perfect for a peaceful Christmas ambiance.
Big fan too of Rickie Lee (free ? samples just by clicking her - picture).

 

Tonight, a couple of superb LP's, Carol Kidd on Linn records... and this Music Matters Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue LP: Which is one of the best sounding LP's I have ever heard!! Unbelievable on so many fronts. If you order just one LP this holiday season,and you don't own this Blue Note Music Matters 331/3 Lp, this is the one to get. My highest recommendation.

 

Johnny Hodges, "Soloist" with Billy Strayhorn and the Orchestra. Redbook. Oh, hell yeah!

 

Hugh Masekela, "Sixty". Redbook.

 

Bob Dylan, "The Freeweelin' Bob Dylan". Redbook.

Davey, the Carol Kidd album is lovely, first rate on redbook ALAC although I would have preferred that all the tracks be without strings. Not a strings guy with jazz. I have the Kenny Burrell on a 24/192 download and it is unreal. Stunning transfer from the analog tape. My favorite of all the Blue Note titles. I can listen that that recording over and over.

 

Leonard Cohen, "Old Ideas". Redbook.

 

On repeat for awhile
Merry Axemas vol 1&2
PeaceBound - Yellowjackets
Carols for solo Guitsar - Byrd

 

Catherine Russell, "Bring It Back". Redbook.

 

^^^ Excellent disc. My top jazz disc from last year

 

Chicago Slim Blues Band, "Boogie Till Break of Day". Redbook.

 

Bring It back. Awesome in 24/88.2!

Joe, the Kenny Burrell Music Matters LP is the way to go, IMHO. An incredible recording that Music Matters just nailed as far as SQ. The hyperbole that the musicians are in the room with you...isn't too far off the mark with this amazing LP.
BTW, I have had a few copies of this LP, some have been a little noisy ( inexcusable IMO in this day and age), however, Elusive Disc ( whom I bought the LP from) have been very good at letting me swap it out for a cleaner copy.

 

Thanks Davey. I have a nice VPI/Kuzma/Benz TT set up but have no interest in spending any more money on LPs. I will stick with digital.

 

Joe, you have a nice VPI/Kuzma/Benz TT and you are sticking with digitalitis???

 

Yep, my digital set up sounds great. Less of a hassle too!
