Ralph Towner’s "Solstice".
My introduction to ECM.
Found it at the public library some 50 years ago.
The Good Stuff
There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Sounds good. You are fortunate to have your library as a resource for music. I've been using Bandcamp and All About Jazz Weekly to find new (to me) titles and then Tidal to sample them. Some do turn into "must buys". Looked at the system you have posted. Very nice. I bought an H390 myself some months back.

Joanne Shaw Taylor - The Blues Album Can't You See What Your Doing To Me Thanks to Nutty for this one. |
Greetings to you, Frogman. I’ll be interested to read what rok has against Berklee. Just finished listening to Cedar Walton’s Eastern Rebellion (the first one w/George Coleman). Another debt to Orpheus’ aficionados thread. Really like George Coleman’s tone throughout (and his 5/4 Thing composition very much). Mode for Joe opened up today. Got intrigued and ended up with Joe Henderson’s album of that name. Cedar Walton also playing.. Old hat for many of you, but mostly all new to me with miles to go before I sleep. |
Frogman - re the Jackie Venson, her guitar playing is very good...electric and acoustic + she has great (and, to my ear, unique) tone. Her band is tight and the recording SQ is excellent (listened to the studio version of Love Transcends). The songs are good...some are strong. Agree with Rok, however...her voice, while good, ain’t the best for the blues. A little too white if I’m allowed to say such these days. There’s a place for superb diction. The blues ain’t that place. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation. I expect I will be listening to it again. |
