I give up.
Take a listen to this before
Just for you Gianluigi! I have Double Fine Zone by them but not Sea Biscuit. Why not? I don't know but I think I'll fix that... 
Whoohoo, thanks very much Jeff. And there it is...
FLAC streamed, sadly, to my Sony SRX-9 in the kitchen because 'she' is watching Ant & Dec or something in the lounge.
Actually, it's not as good as I remember, but the David Paton track, Voyager, IS
One of the more exciting jazz acts...
There's so much good music out there if one cares to look, and it's so much cheaper than when I was a kid.
You are not wrong, someone here has just reminded me to buy some Clifford T Ward, thanks.
I thnk there's more very good new music being made nowadaŷs than ever before, but a lot of it is hidden away in niches of the Internet, such as Bandcamp or Soundcloud, and that it's hard to find unless you stumble across it or are nudged there by forums such as this.
it is hard to find time to listen to it all, though I try. And it's deeply rewarding.
On the other hand, I also think that there's less truly great music being made today than before. But then, as a child of the 50s/60s I would say that
The latest from Modest Mouse, Strangers to Ourselves. Excellent on vinyl.
Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates (1981)
Original vinyl
A bit of a change of pace. Rolling through some rather old vinyl. Still very quiet surfaces, and some great recordings.
Pleasant and new to me
vinyl
Tom Waits - Closing Time (1973)
Original vinyl
Another one - same trio, great fun
Some rather inspired playing on this disk
CD
Pedal Steel Guitar is superb on this album.
Tom Waits - The Heart Of Saturday Night (1974)
Original vinyl
CD
Bruce Cockburn The trouble with normal, good LP from a great Canadian folk/Rock singer song writer.
Skipping Rach's No.2 and just listening to 6 Preludes.
I see what Gould means that Sviatoslav Richter is the greatest communicator of our time. Dazzling showcase of Rachmaninoff elegance served up in a large chilled bowl.
Shame it was his only solo album. He wrote a good tune.
