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:

Picked up this old 'Peter Green' era Fleetwood Mac double CD in my local second-hand music shop. Slow, bluesy style is enjoyable and the quality of the recordings is better than I thought it would be.
Have just put on the second CD and track number 1 is my favourite from the Peter Green era: Man Of The World. The quality of the recording is a lot, lot better than my other recording of this track - Greatest Hits as below. A very nice surprise.
To round off the evening's listened. This album really is beautiful.
Kind of blue & Relaxing with Miles
Perfect with after dinner drinks ( Woodford Reserve & Blanton's Kentucky Bourbon ) with good friends.
Was first introduced to Fink at RMAF 2011 by Naim's Doug Graham. Liked what I heard a lot, and bought all of his albums.
His latest is a live concert, backed by by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. Wasn't sure if this was going to work, but I am totally digging it!
