What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Another supervised by Orrin Keepnews. 1975. I’ve got a Kenny Burrell autographed copy around here somewhere, but it hasn’t surfaced in the current quest.

 

FedEx came yesterday. Thank you Johan K for introducing me to Impex 1STEP records, the sound is amazing.....

 

Phantastic live recording, one must have in lpshelf

 

The latest addition to my collection arrived...

 

 

 

Something a bit more complex tonight. I bought this a few years ago at Barnes & Noble. I don’t know what happened to the digital download … but the vinyl is very nice. So quiet that I could not hear the needle drop into the run in groove.
The recording was originally made in 1959.

An interesting note about Shostakovitch’s theme.

 

 

I picked this up on a visit to Grieg’s home. The recording is dated 1982. I think I bought it on a visit in the late 80s. Piano and voice bring their own special challenges, but they were effectively dealt with here. Certainly not of interest to those who aren’t connected emotionally to Grieg and his efforts to create truly Norwegian music. But I enjoy hearing it every decade or so

 

I greatly enjoy hearing Grieg's Peer Gynt in the original version he wrote, with voices. The usual popular orchestral suite version omits the vocal portions, which greatly diminishes its impact. It is based on a famous poem by Henrik Ibsen. I have several versions on both vinyl and CD, like this one on DG.

Yes, I have them both too. I love the story … because it is true. Not in the sense that it happened to Peer. But in the sense that it reflects the experience of many afflicted with wanderlust.

 

Highly technical (early digital) process from 1981. You know, it sounds better on current gear than it did back in the day. Nevertheless, the criticisms leveled against early digital recordings were not unwarranted.

David Fiuczynski John Medeski - Lunar Crush

Ferociously funky and weird jazz fusion as one would expect. My backup copy is still kicking after 20+ years. It even has a paper label (which I used for a handful of cd-r's back in the day.)

 

Nice sunday to all



atb, Tom
