What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Thor Gustavsen Trio - Being There - ECM 2017 (just buy it!) tracks 4, 8 and 10 brought tears to my face....

Yeap.. This is a nice recording...

 

Paul Motian Trio - Lost in a Dream - ECM 2128
Manu Katche - Neighbourhood - ECM 1896
Mingus Big Band - Live at Jazz Standard - Indie

 

An ECM recording was also playing in my system until a few minutes ago : Anouar Brahem - "Le pas du chat noir" (The black cat footsteps) . Later today "The Astounding Eyes of Rita" will follow.

ECM is not just great recordings IMO, but also an exquisite selection of artists, both in CD and Vinyl these sound great.

 

Well..I had a long session last night trying the Sonus Faber Extremas lended from the local dealer down here (customer trade-in), I remember spinning:

Nathalie Merchant - Tigerlily - both 180 gms and CD
Antonio Forcione - Live - Naim CD
Doug MacLoud - You can't take my blues - JVC HDCD
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York - CD
Alice in Chains - MTV unplugged
Avishai Cohen - Live in The Blue Note
Kashnir - Zilities

Among others...

 

Gonzalo Rubalcaba - The Blessing - w/ Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette

 

Brahms: Alto Rhapsody, Op.53. Kathleen Ferrier, Clemens Krauss, the London Philharmonic choir and orchestra.

Enjoying the Blues today, Muddy Waters - Folk Singer; T-Bone Walker - The Best of the Black and White and Imperial Years; Albert King - I'll Play The Blues For You.

Patricia Barber - Verse - OMR 180 gms
Clark Terry and Friends - Chesky - 180 gms
Mighty Sam McClain - Audioquest CD
Avishai Cohen - Flood

 

New 45 AP release of Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. Magical!

 

I love that album. I've got it on 33 1/3 and Cd, but I bet that 45 smokes 'em both.

 

Doug MacLeod - Come to find - JVC xrcd
Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens - LP VerAbra Records
B&W - Very Audiophile New Recordings LP

 

I love that album. I've got it on 33 1/3 and Cd, but I bet that 45 smokes 'em both.

Can't say but Hubbard's trumpet is unreal sounding at times. The tone is so spot on

 

Keith Jarret- Whisper Not - ECM 1724
Steve Kuhn - Life's Glances - ECM 2090
Avishai Cohen - Flood- ANZ5102
Michael Buble - Crazy Love
Katie Malua - the house - Dramatico

 

Ray Montford - Shed Your Skin

Slick, mostly acoustic instrumentals with a world-music flavor. Someone brought this to a subwoofer shootout session a buddy of mine had in his HT yesterday and Wow! Not just because the first cut makes for a nice subwoofer workout, either. ;-)

 

Black Light Syndrome, horrible name (it's actually Bozzio, Levins, Stevens) but great 90's Prog.

I also have a new album from Dave Getz, Can't Be the Only One, (drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Co) where he has done a song written by Janis Joplin......on a napkin that he hung on to until he got the arrangement the way he thought she would have done it.

 

Us Bay Area WBF members know Black Light Syndrome quite well, since we use BLS music regularly at our meetings to showcase/test a stereo system.

 

This reminds me that I need to get the new BLS. I'll check Tony's site to see if it's available.

 

Albert King - I'll Play The Blues For You

Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones

Both on the little silver discs tonight
