What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
And now playing the second disc from this 50th anniversary set of Miles' KoB. These recordings were also released on Miles '58, but I think the SQ on the anniversary set trumps it.
Clive B posted:Borders Nick posted:Debating whether to splurge £6.98 on Qobuz current special offer for 24/196 version.
What's to be debated? Sounds like a bargain, but all depends on the source I guess.
I am a weak man - unfortunately I downloaded the 24/96 version in error (Doh ...) so having to redo, which takes an age with the low broadband speed here (& children hogging the bandwidth with Netflix etc.)
. Still - the "lower res" version is sounding pretty damn good meantime.

Haven't played Mr McMurty for a while. CD rip : WAV
Carrie Elkin - "Call It My Garden" (2011)
Some more sunny side up music for a grey day.
Chris Sheehan - "Goodbye Cruel Circus (I'm Off To Join The World)" (2010)
More from the master of "laid back".
Sadly not such a great CD transfer, but enjoyable music all the same.

The lad done good!..................ably assisted by Kim Wilson.
Corrine West & Kelly Joe Phelps - "Magnetic Skyline" (2010)
One of the most underrated bluesmen, I saw him live in the 60's, way down the running order, as part of the American Folk Blues Festival annual European tour.
He stole the show with the four or five songs he played, in the face of the better known names.
Bit idiosyncratic, but worth a Tidal blast.
Just in from work...curry ordered...yes I know it the 19th August...who cares!!!

Now that i finally have the album what an album, sound quality, is simply stunning , every thing that mike-b said is spot on.
About fifteen years ago when i first bout my first series hifi ! (Cyrus dab 7 CD player & IIIi Amp) if you had said that i would be listing to Jazz music i would have said that you are crazy. Quite simply this is one of the best album i have ever heard. The quality of the band playing is stunning.
