Shirley Horn "I remember Miles"
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Of course, my posting reminds to "get it back out" as Audiowoman says. So I listen to "Stanley Clarke Trio", I am reminded that they do a cover of "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. (Flea) My memory then shifts to Chrtistian McBride's album "Sci-Fi" Where he covers: "Aja" (Steely Dan) "Walking On The Moon" (Sting) "Havona" (Jaco) "Butterfly Dreams" (Stanley Clarke) A great homage to a composer to have others carry it on with their own version with respect. How many times was "Body And Soul" covered? This is why I have always loved Jazz. |

Hiromi Uehara is an incredible Pianist. I have three her albums titled: Voice, Move, and Brain. I found her while searching Anthony Jackson music. (Bassist) A real Jazz power trio. She is also on "The Stanley Clarke Trio w/ Lenny White, which I also have. I was fortunate to to catch her as a guest on Piano Jazz on WBGO two weeks ago. She played "Haze" which is a solo piece written by her which is featured on Voice Album. I did NOT get her albums just because she happens to be beautiful :) |
Ghosthouse, don't be put off by the name. Check it out at Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Sunset Mission on YouTube |
Los Lobos - Colossal Head. Appreciating tonight what a great recording this is - music and production. One of the best screams ever on Track 2: Mas Y Mas (which suggests a topic for another "best whatever ever...." Audiogon thread. I'll resist the temptation). Glad to see Rbrowne liking Herbstlaub. It contains some truly beautiful moments. Do you have Les Fleurs? |
Tonight the digital minority report is from YouTube... Fleetwood Mac 1968 & Mr Wonderful ("vinyl rips"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hNXfpMxcSI Never realized what an excellent rhythm section Mick & John were. Got my toes tappin'. Jeremy Spencer's no slouch on slide. And who's this Pete guy on guitar??? ;-) |
Tboooe - glad you enjoyed the concert. The only thing I have by TTWS is "Dulcinea". Haven't listened to it in years. Maybe I will dust it off. FWIW - Been listening to a fair amount of post-Police Andy Summers recently. Tonight is "The Last Dance of Mr. X". VERY well recorded (excellent sonics with crazy low bass). The band is Tony Levin and Greg Bissonette. Other recommendations of A.S. music are: The Golden Wire and Mysterious Barricades. |
Yup, resurrecting this thread for an occasion to say... Working my way through Wilco studio CDs in chronological order. Summerteeth in now (gosh, this thing is LOUD). Overall, impressed with the arrangements, production and sound quality of their stuff...not to mention songs that are a little off the beaten path but still accessible. |
I'm always on the look out for new music, but unfortunately finding music that you enjoy and sounds good isn't always easy. I've made a personal decision to just concentrate on music that I enjoy. In any case, finding music that you'll enjoy is sometimes difficult. In an effort to make finding new music easier, I've subscribed to MOG and Pandora. It think that both subscriptions run me less than $20 a month. Although neither service can deliver high fidelity music, it sounds acceptable and it's an easy way to check out new music before you buy it. |
Glad for positive responses. Was a little hesitant about starting the thread. This can be a tough community. But, yeah, the idea is just to get more music ideas about things that sound good on CD or stuff you simply have and enjoy on CD (or other digital format, that's cool too). On the Coltrane side of things, I'd like to add "Live at the Half Note - One Down, One Up". Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know but these are 2 discs of recordings from March and May 1965 shows- stuff off of tapes made during the live broadcast on late night NYC jazz radio. The pictures alone that come with the CD are great. The recordings capture the electricity of what was going down. I really wish I could have been there. Hope somebody that doesn't know them already will enjoy the music. You can find audio recordings on You Tube if you want to check it out. |
