"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????

It may have been done before. If so, please let me know.

So often we are told by a friend about a band, tune, recording that is great…..
We come home with the Disc/Record and enjoy, but few people find out.
There have been many threads here about “recordings to die for” etc..

How about one for new tunes?

To be a bit more detailed about the spirit of my request:
I think everyone knows when Sting releases his new record.
But what about great tunes that the average person would not know about?
If we could share this information in the following format, it might be helpful.

BRUCE HORNSBY
“HERE COME THE NOISE-MAKERS. LIVE-98/99/00”
Live recordings of Bruce and company. Very good live recording, including a couple of Grateful Dead covers. Rock-oriented mix, with a “jam-band” flavor.

If it was kept similar to the format above, as time goes on, the thread could be used as a quick reference for people in search of new tunes.

I would love to hear any suggestions.

What have you found recently worthy of mention?

Jazz Jamaica All Stars' ''Massive '' . interesting blend of big band jazz and reggae. uplifting music to soothe our frazzled nerves at the end of a lousy day at work.

My current favorites are Live at Blues Alley by Eva Cassidy (listen for sharp cymbals and huge bass, as well as female vocal) and Tourist by St. Germain (edgy but listenable techno-jazz not for everyone). I'm bringing them to the Stereophile NY show.

How about that little band from Manchester, England - Gomez. Their new piece of plastic, In Our Gun, deserves a bit of your time for a listen. They throw out a bit rega, a mix of hip hop, a few slow ballads, and sometimes they even seem to add touches of metal to a well done CD. Man, they can make a lot of noise sound musical on their first track Shot Shot.

Just took a shot.

I will throw Jay Webber's new CD into the mix, 'I Can See'. Jay is a Nothern Michigan small town singer/songwriter, which admittedly is more 'campfire' music than anything else (at least I have witnessed this more than once, and he's really good at it), but he has a wonderful voice and unique pickin' style. His first recording 'Innocent Child' is quite good as well.

You can download a couple of mp3's to check him out, at www.jaywebber.com.

Check him out!

I know this is not place but perhaps there are 1 or 2 more wonderers like myself -- A couple of new CDs, one is called "Verve Remixed" and the other "Sounds from Verve hi-fi". These are new "clubsy" remixes of old masters (ie: N Simone, B Holiday, S Horn, E Fitzgerald, D Washington etc etc) done by the big boys of "downtempo" and "lounge" grooves such as Theivery Corp, Richard Dorfmeister and the like. Check them out if interested, I intend to.
