What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (VOL V)

So many composers. That sounds a bit like the yellow pages..

No, not really. Oh, and I forgot about poor old Gluck This recording was from a live concert....

I'd sure like to hear Ivan Moravec's Debussy, Franck, and Ravel. Since getting the Chopin Nocturnes, based on your recommendation, I've been meaning to get some more !

The Kenny Burrell Trio - A Night at the Vanguard

The Avett Brothers.

Doug,

This is an outstanding Moravec disc (playing & sound) though it is out of print and very hard to get:



There are two used copies available on Amazon US for a mere $150 each:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer...r=1-3&condition=used

Melissa Manchester: Don't Cry Out Loud
'78 Release. The US Nautilus Half-speed LP.
Pity, this audiophool record does not sound as good as the original stock release.
I don't know the intent of this disc, but it's all so midrange-centric and no feet left on the music.

James Taylor: Gorilla
'75 Release. The US Nautilus Half-speed LP.
Another disappointment.
I prefer the original issue.

Rory Gallagher - Against the Grain
I think this is his best studio album, not sure why it is not usually so highly rated.

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada

The second track on this EP is just brilliant!

Another one from the library:-

Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, Darkest Light / The Best Of The Lafayette Afro-Rock Band

quote:

From AllMusic:

their music indeed embraces both Afrobeat and Western psychedelia in equal measure, complete with hard-edged guitar riffs, incendiary sax breaks, and blistering rhythms

Amazing!

Spent some time yesterday with these weirdos.

Ricky Estrin & The Nightcats, Twisted



Apparently they are seasoned veterans, but I had never heard of them before. Quality harp blues with funny lyrics. I confess I bought it for the cover... but it's pure fun nonetheless!

On CD:-

One of the great live albums imo...remain as fashionable as Rhyl.

On Spotify

On the Original Black Stuff

First:



Now:

Richard Hawley - Late Night Final

After a cracking concert last night.

Via iMac:-

Have you ever heard any 70's german funk ?

Colours of Funk
The German Sound Library of Golden Ring & Happy Records



Great beats, organic toms, elastic bass, farfisa and wah wah, what's better ?

I already had got some 70's german funk and I must say these guys knew their stuff. (Never posted here, 'cause it's from soundtracks to erotic 70's TV programs and I don't want to be moderated for a cover a bit too funky... Never seen the aforementioned programs - no, really -, but the music is really good. No kidding.)

Thanks to somebody here - was it patk, ewemon, Jeff A, I can't remember!

The Low Anthem, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin

This is the front cover of my version which I bought in 2008 but Jeff or someone else probably put you on to them.

To accompany a rather nice Rioja...
