Nerina Pallot - Fires.

A brilliant album which I seem to play quite a lot recently

Not sure I'd rate it that highly. For me she is similar to many female artists I already have music by. I would certainly play it again not sure if I'd purchase this album.

Worth preserving with, BigH.  For me this lady's talent only properly registered with me when a friend persuaded me to see her perform live.  Suffice to say that I'm very much looking forward to seeing her perform again in April.

Just had something of a 'doh' moment with this album.  While I've had it for ages and always liked it, it was only this evening that I noticed my CD is a special version with a second CD tucked away on the reverse side of the jewel case and on CD2 is a recording of her performing live in Paris in 2009.  And it's bl**dy good, too. A nice surprise but I do feel a bit of an idiot!

Looking at the River site, you must have an "import" package.  It lists the tracks of Disc 1 but also shows it as a 2 disc release with no listing for the 2nd disc.  A nice surprise for you indeed.

My favourite (living) jazz singer...

Yes, Jeff. There's a discreet red sticker on the front saying 'UK 2CD Special Edition'. The Live in Paris listing is:

The Rain; Ain't No Surprise; Baby I'm A Fool; My One and Only Thrill; and, Love Me Like A River Does.

All very atmospheric.

Tom Barabas

Romantic Rhapsodies

Some relaxing piano music to end the night.

My wifes favourite album of the year so far.

(2008)

Just some very, very good modern prog more appreciated in Germany and Northern Europe than in the UK.

I have had it saved over at Spotify for a couple weeks and haven't gotten to it.  Mon's opinion  is the kick I needed.  I am going to try and get to it tomorrow.  Thanks, Ewen.  Be well.Jeff A

My pleasure as always Jeff and hope all is well with your good lady. I need to drop you an email at some point.

Continuing with the Mark Knopfler exploration from yesterday.  Some tracks from this one on Tidal.

In trials directly with a pharmaceutical company, so far so good.  Thanks.

Tried this briefly via Spotify last year - your post has prompted me to give it whirl again now via Tidal - sounding good - thanks for the reminder.

Remember Shakti - John McLaughlin et al.

CD rip to NS01. 

Coldplay "A Head Full Of Dreams"

Ketil Bjørnstad (piano) and David Darling (cello) - Epigraphs

First heard on Late Junction a few years ago now, and just as powerful now as then.

PS. don't seem to be many LJ listners here? Puzzled.

Shakatak - Drivin Hard.

UK original press, superb sounding album from Strawberry mastering.

Suzanne Vega "Tales From The Realm Of The Queen Of Pentacles"

CD rip - WAV

Haven't heard this since mid 70s. It was the first time I'd heard Pinchas and the Sibelius and I was forever getting it out of the library.  On Tuesday I found this copy in London. Very broad and dark performance.  Now I remember why I so much liked Zuckerman's playing.  LPO excellent too. 

Have just download Ester Yoo's new recording of the Sibelius from Qobuz.  Will try that one evening soon.
