Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Why not...G
On original vinyl
..started with this one, as always Oscar Peterson is enjoyable and relaxing..
..then switched to Brad - one of the best albums in jazz solo piano, very rythmic...
Worthwhile additional performance ...

Bit of a Bowie morning
A famous recording, and every bit as good as its reputation suggests.

First CD that I bought back in 1987 iirc (together with Bruce Springsteen live and some Plaestrina / Tallis Scholars - eclectic or what?)
Bruce Hornsby "Greatest Radio Hits"
Coldplay "Live 2012"
CD 1st pressing. The MCLD releases have never been surpassed sonically in my view. G

A record that received rave reviews in the UK, and is almost universally neglected or even panned anywhere else, is this any good? I've listened to this for about a year now, and I think it is very good - although Osborne doesn't sound russian. Pianists like Alexeev and Richter find colours at every turn, and compared to them, Osborne sounds terribly efficient and with a limited tonal palette. But in his own way, he is very convincing - and crucially, knows when to let go of the brakes.
Cheers,
EJ

..continued the evening with Pat Metheny, the recording gives you the feeling that your ear is on the strings..
