Sting - Nothing Like The Sun (now 35 years old)
Whats playing on your system today?
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Listening now to the new release from HDTT of Chet Baker in New York. It sounds really good in this DXD/DSD256 transfer. Some don’t care for Baker’s cool jazz style, but I find him very involving. Playing with the principally East Coast players Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and Johnny Griffin, this album has a nice “cross-over” vibe to it. The group slides comfortably between laid back West Coast (“Polka Dots and Moonbeams” or “Blue Thoughts”) to hard driving East Coast bebop (“Hotel 49”) to finding balance in between on other cuts like Miles Davis’ “Solar”. Baker’s trumpet solos instantly identify why he was considered such a great stylist.

@jpwarren58 +1 re. Coltrane / Hartman. A gem! |
@boxer12 Glad to know this is one you enjoy. I confess that I'm guilty of listening to a lot of classical. Plus, just about anything acoustic. Earlier today I was listening to Melody Gardot. |
+1 @rushton - I don't listen to classical music much but do very much enjoy that album.

I don’t know how Bob Witrak at HDTT manages to accomplish this, but he’s given us two releases today of superb albums. First Saxophone Colossus and now one of the greatest Mercury Living Presence recordings in a gorgeous DSD256/DXD transfer. Here we have one of the world’s greatest French conductors and one of the world’s finest French orchestras (albeit located in the United States) playing the very essence of French music. |
@david_ten Saxophone Colossus is a good 'un. |
