What are you streaming tonight?


As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

The Brad Mehldau Trio "The Art of the Trio, Volume 5: Progression"

personal library

Tore Brunborg - Slow Snow on Qobuz. 

Norwegian jazz - atmospheric, fuzz guitar laced, sometimes bordering on dissonant ambient.

"'Slow Snow' explores the shift between intimacy and detachment, tension and lightness, surreality and reality, utilizing many different sounds and textures, focusing on the calm before the storm, the space that provides air to breathe."
I love this thread.  I often end up listening to selections you all post, and I enjoy making new discoveries.

I would like to ask, if you're so inclined, if when you post something that isn't extremely well known to include maybe a one sentence description of your take on what it is?  That would make this really useful.  Only if you have time and feel like doing it, of course! 
Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

How to describe this album? Eclectic acoustic? Pop world music? Think the soundtrack to several TV shows (maybe “Thirty-Something?”) or movies (“Telephone and Rubber Band” has been in several), more than a few commercials. Overall very pleasant and relaxing.
If you like acoustic guitar recorded with Neumann Tube microphones, btw this should be the standard of how to record, just saying for a friend.

Fausto Mesolella- Live ad Alcatraz ( no, not the prison )

His, Madama Terra album is also spectacular.

Qobuz Hi-Rez with Euphony Stylus
Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra on Qobuz via 16f4's recommendation.  Very interesting, I see they are often categorized as folk/neo-classical, and although I hear the references to minimalist classical (Reich, Glass, etc) I also sense they are adjacent to new age.

If this group floats your boat you might check out the band Balmorhea!  Not exactly alike but distant musical cousins, maybe.

Yes, @morningstaraudio,thanks for the tip on that Mesolella record - sounds beautiful.

Another Italian guitarist whose recordings sound great is Antonio Forcione, especially the album he cut with Charlie Haden - Heartplay, for the Naim label.
George Baker Selection - Paloma blanca (youtube)

I made a mistake of mentioning it as a pop song, which it surely is, on another thread about perfect pop songs ( Perfect Pop Songs | Audiogon Discussion Forum ). Now it does not want to leave. I think it would continue playing even if I disconnected power on the whole street.
I'm streaming my "Discovered" Playlist. Currently 214 select tracks saved from the last 2 years of faithfully listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly Playlist that Spotify generates for/to me every Monday morning. Man, have I discovered a lot of great music from my Spotify Discover Weekly Playlist.
Louise Jallu - Piazzolla 2021

Qobuz Hi-Res

Because everyone needs more melancholy accordion in their lives.
Scott Tixier - Cosmic Adventure on Qobuz

This is high energy, melodic jazz led by a French violinist. Creative and energetic, sometimes polyrhythmic percussion.
A classic from my personal library to start off this Sunday morning ..

Freddie Hubbard "The Body & The Soul"

Steely Dan - Aja, Qobuz.  I recently upgraded my DAC to an Aqua La Voce S3 and am doing some headphone listening.  Hearing things I never noticed before and enjoying some very dynamic and grain free digital.
Finishing up Shame - Drunk Tank Pink on Qobuz Hi-Res.  Nice post-punk album.  
As soon as I finish this, I’ll be starting on a project to create a playlist on Qobuz I’ll call Audiogon Pop.  I’ve been following a forum “Perfect Pop Songs”. 
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/perfect-pop-songs

Lots of good songs I want to wrangle, plus lots of stuff I’m not familiar with.  Might be a long evening...

Beck - Sea Change


That's a good one.  Got some serious bottom end to it in places, too.  Not exactly a picker-upper, though. :)
Charlie Haden - Heartplay

Qobuz Hi-Res

Per  ZMs recommendation.  Excellent suggestion, as usual.   
Philly Joe Jones - Showcase on Qobuz

A nice 1959 hard bop set with a tasty, drum heavy mix. I really like albums cut with drummers as leaders, you tend to get a percussion-centric production.  I was inspired by melvinjames listening to Jimmy Cobb tonight.

Probably my favorite is Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Free for All. The title track on that album is perfect controlled fury!
