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. |
Toshinobu Kubota - Light Intelligence Series by Victor Musical Industries Inc. |
Ghosthouse, it was GREAT! I last saw them in 1991 @ The Backdoor in San Diego. They sounded tight, and invigorated last night. Of course I prefer their old stuff from Bread & Circus and Pale but the new stuff is good too. Their sound has definitely matured a bit. |
For the Down Tempo/Chill crowd. Good stuff.
Merge of Equals... Intoxicating
Below Zero... Minus 1
Martin Tillman...Eastern Twin |
Apart from Toad, many names I've not heard of before. Lots to sample on YouTube. Thanks all.
Tboooe - how was the concert? |
Listening to the new Guy Clark "My Favorite Picture of You" next is Terrance Blanchard "Magnetic" |
Quadro Nuevo, Mocca Flor and Antakya, and before that,
Stacey Kent, Raconte-moi... |
Chillin to some Amos Lee before I head out to watch Toad the Wet Sprocket in concert. Haven't seen them since my college days. Pretty pumped m |
Danny Heines, Every Island |
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. |
Tonight,
Doug Raney, "You go to my Head"
Carmen McRae, "Bittersweet"
Tardo Hammer, "Look Stop and Listen"
"Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown" |
I am glad Yoshimi takes her vitamins when she protects us from those evil robots...
some heavy music! |
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. |
Joe Henderson - Page One
Brahms - Piano Concertos Nos. 1&2 - Leon Fleisher/George Szell/ Cleveland Orch |
It ended up being "Embryonic" and "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots".
Going out tonight to hear a live band. |
Foster thanks! I will give it a listen.
One of my favorite Coltrane albums is: Ole
enjoy! |
Sorry Philjolet, it was a typo..."Standard Coltrane" |
Chopin's Scherzi, fantasie, berceuse, barcarolle performed by Eugene Mursky piano volume 5 of the Chopin edition. New pianist to me, has a complete new take on Chopin, which is really refreshing and well worth listening to. He is young, 30's,and only available on CD so I listen. |
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. |
Foster 9 I could not find Stand Coltrane album or song
what is your secret?
:) |
Great stuff Ghosthouse. Mine is on lp not cd. Next up for me on cdp will be Al Di Meola 'Orange and Blue' on Blue Moon R2 79197. Enjoy. |
The Greyboy Allstars, "A Town Called Earth" |
Haven't touched my player in quite a while. I'm a music server guy mostly these days, with vinyl listening tossed in as well from time to time.
Tonight I will be queuing up some Flaming Lips. Not sure which one quite yet. |
John Coltrane "Stand Coltrane" |
Just got the new Bonnie Raitt-"Slipstream" and Blind Pilot-"We Are The Tide". Both excellent. The Blind Pilot is KILLER. One of my favorite new bands. |
