wamono groove - this is a comp of deep japanese jazz-funk fusion featuring koto and shakuhachi played alongside your standard guitar, drums, bass, vibes, keys etc. really good

​I’m liking Aftermath (double LP). Butch Walker (Marvelous 3) contributes on a lot of songs. I like Marvelous 3, and “Day Drunk” on his 2011 album The Spade gets some play on Little Steven’s Garage XM channel, as does Cook’s “Thick Georgia Woman”. Good stuff.

checked this out on tidal and really liked it  @reubent Tom, you might like this - has an if Deodato were Japanese vibe goin on. Great fun.  

 

Just picked up a couple of albums by Hiromi. Voice, and Spark are the names of the albums. Modern/Fusion jazz.

I’m really enjoying them.

@curiousjim great to see you back on the thread.   I remember that you’re a big fan of Bill Evans.  have you heard the new “Spring”?

@spiritofradio 

Thanks for the welcome back!  “You must believe in spring”, is another great album.  I just got “Under Current” and “Another Time”. 
There’s just something about the way he “Tickles The Ivory’s “ that I really enjoy! I also just got a copy of The Red Garland Trio, “At the Prelude”  I think it’s also very good, but it is just not as impromptu(?). I’m not sure of the correct word I’m looking for.

@curiousjim 👍 The Resonance issues are (most all) fantastic aren’t they.  Do you have “Some Other Time” too.  I think it’s my favorite of the Resonance issues.

@spiritofradio - wamono groove - I'll check it out when I get internet service again. Storms really jacked up Southern Ohio last evening. Still many thousands without power and cable. And the temp is nearly 100 degrees. We were fortunate and did not lose power. But lots of neighbors have been without power for more than 24 hours with no ETA for restoration.

The Sibelius Academy Quartet : Sibelius - String Quartet In A Minor & String Quartet In B Flat Major, Op. 4. Finlandia 1985 
 

Lots of music here that I am not familiar with.  I love this thread.  I have bought stuff I never heard of because of this thread and it's never been a disappointment.  I'll probably give a try to some of what you guys have posted today.

Al Green  -  Call Me   Speakers Corner reissue.  Very good!

David Crosby  -  If I Could Only Remember My Name   50th Anniversary issue.

Earl Klugh and Bob James  -  Two Of A Kind   Lovely way to end the day (before diner).

@reubent I am here in ohio as well. several colleagues called off work today due to the power situation just north of cincinnati. praying for everyone. i kept thinking ours was going to go but we lucked out as well. 

cool to see people checking out wamono groove! i think there are three or four volumes of "wamono", but this is the only one that i've listened to in depth so far. 

tonight i am listening to dave pike's "on a gentle note." very good and moody electric vibraphone jazz, similar in feeling to the early 70s roy ayers style. pike is one of those guys who was on a ton of records but for whatever reason isn't mentioned much outside of niche circles (herbie mann fanatics, vibraphone obsessives etc). of his solo albums, this one is exceptional imho. just a great record that's sort of flown under a lot of people's (the people i know anyway) radars.

 

@reubent Wow, sounds bad.   What a hassle.  Hope you can stay cool and get service back quickly.   

Glen Hansard - "Drive All Night" again! Playing it for the wife because it's so beautiful. What a song and what a performance. Excellent SQ on 45 rpm vinyl.

Humble Pie - Smokin’

1972 A&M

1969 A&M

Strawbs - From The Witchwood

High level SQ on this, Firefall too. Some surface noise on Pablo Cruise or it’d be up there too.

No I don’t, but I guess I’ll have to order it.
