Nice polished jazz
Boccherini's dance music sounds rather modern and swinging. The execution of Jordi savall's group is exemplary.
Listening from a gloriously sunny garden.

Joseph Haydn | Domenico Scarlatti: Chiaro e scuro: Olivier Cavé (piano)
Domenico Scarlatti - Piano Sonatas: Claire Huangci (piano)
Takes me right back to my student days. Very much of the era but well crafted.

On vinyl.

First listen for this on vinyl:
CD ripped to HDX for me.......arrived in the post today
Some old and classic Tull to start the evening's listening. Some great songs on here: Bouree, of course, and especially Look Into The Sun.
Beefheart
What a debut album this was?! The self-confidence of the band must have been huge. The middle part of You Shook Me must have given the record company execs palpitations.
This is an excellent album. As the title suggests, it combines overtures and arias, which makes for a very nice balance.
Japanese vinyl.
In The Air Tonight sounds particularly good this evening.
"Eight years ago we started; they were very young, 16. I had a gig with some rhythm section and they called to say they can't do this, so what can I do? They recommend this young guy, a drummer, and he recommended to me the bass player and the pianist and we have half hour beforehand to make program and they do it without any experience! They already had individuality; they were good from the beginning. I think it is the way with musicians-if there's promise you're going to hear it immediately." (Tomasz Stanko)
Ludwig van Beethoven: TrioVanBeethoven
Trio No. 7 in B flat major, Op. 97 'Archduke'
Ten Variations on Wenzel Mueller's Song Op. 121a
Trio Movement in E-flat major Hess 48
He is still defining modern jazz. This guy is awesome. The album is now more a collection of songs - the last album was a connected collection. But nevertheless a lot to explore and to start appreciating outside the ones which immediately connect to my taste...
