Ike Quebec - Blue And Sentimental
Qobuz Hi-Res |
melvinjamesSteve Guttenberg specifically mentions Ike Quebec’s “Soul Samba” in this mornings video. I decided on “Blue and Sentimental” because it was in Hi-Res, but plan to get to “Soul Samba” later. |

On another forum someone asked, “What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system?”. Several mentioned Mahlers Symphony No. 5, so even though I don’t listen much to classical music I thought I would give it a try. Enjoyable

i agree with you both! When I sold my records and leaned into streaming, I noticed two things:
1- I spent more time listening to music, instead of searching, buying, cleaning, inputting, etc, and
2- I listened to more music outside of my usual genres, e.g. I’ve been finding lots of Norwegian and Icelandic music that I’ve loved, as well as some Brazilian and Jazz stuff I haven’t heard in years.

Someone recommended listening to this on acid. I didn’t, but it’s pretty cool anyway.

I love this time of year! Not just for permission to listen to unapologetically upbeat Christmas music (lord knows we all need that now), but many critics release their “Best Of The Year” lists. The New York Times posted theirs this morning, and I will be able to stream many of the ones I missed. |
Some newish Jazz I missed that made the NYT Best of 2020 list:

mgrif104That is a wonderful album. I stumbled across the LP in a thrift store and fell in love with her voice. |

Bogbeat,
welcome to the forum. I don’t have an opinion regarding your system. I’m just starting streaming and more of a plug and play guy. ( PowerNode 2i). I have enjoyed Qobuz immensely, and between them and some stuff I already ripped I am happy. |

Tuck and Patti bring back fond memories. I just started dating this great woman, and she told me she really liked Tuck and Patti. The next month they performed at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA and I surprised her with tickets. Must have worked, because we’ve been married almost 25 years. |

One of the nice things about streaming with a non-American company (Qobuz being French) is their catalogue has lots of artists and musicians that may not have been well-known in the US. I had never heard of this French group, but instantly liked their 80s new wave sound. |
Charles Lloyd - Canto
Qobuz Hi-Res
Great soundstage, especially “Tales of Rumi”! |
Re: Playlists, check out on Qobuz “Reggae From A To Z: Ska and Rocksteady”. Or the soundtrack to the documentary “Rudeboys”. Then watch Steve McQueens TV show on Netflix, “Small Axe”, set in Notting Hill, London around 1970. Lots of great Ska and Rocksteady to get your groove going. |
