Streaming on TIDAL........ a sweet and warm voice for this cold Thursday morning, a very nice album!

Enjoying this one seakayaker.

Great shout.

Nicola Sergio Trio.

Nice modern jazz piano trio.

Another good album from Chely.

A blast from the past (1984!) as I'm trying to sort through my records.

Sounding a bit life a hifi show here currently, although I’m playing the whole album, not just track 5!

Presently spinning Paul Carrack - It Aint Over... such a soulful vocalist and excellent live

Jesse van Ruller & Maarten van der Grinten - Nine Stories

Very nice music by two jazz guitarist.

From Challengerecords.com:

In 1999 two of Holland's leading jazz guitarists met each other several times on stage in a duo setting. From the very beginning it was clear that the complete sound, the clarity of communication and the individual capacities of the two players were making up for a band.
Their first CD underlines the right of existence of this two-men band as it explores the sound range of the combination of two guitars - never losing melodic content.
It is adventurous and yet agreeable and should help the jazz guitar - out of the jazz guitar ghetto - into the ears of all music lovers, not only guitar players.This duo recording is a celebration of Two: Soloing and accompanying is equally divided.
There are two of the most beautiful songs of Cole Porter (You Do Something To Me & Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye), two gems of Fred Astaire movies (I Won’t Dance & Too Late Now), two acoustic songs for little men (Little Man You’ve Had a busy Day & Angel Fallen Again –for Maarten’s ever falling son), two grooving originals (New Feet & Rul Grint) and a two-in-one blues (Freight Trane & Chi Chi, interwoven).
Each song tells a story of it’s own, nine stories altogether told by Van der Grinten and Van Ruller.

Great recommendation. I am still thinking with good memories about the live concerts of EEF Albers and Jan Kuiper two other great Dutch players...

Trying the Trygve Seim - Rumi Songs, that was suggested earlier. Interesting combination of instruments and voice. For a change...

On CD:-

Savoy Brown - Voodoo Moon

Múm - Finally We Are No  One

Having just played Days Of Future Passed, I mooched through the other "M"s and ran across my small (but perfectly formed) Múm collection, which I had forgotten about. 

Anyway, this is rather lovely chilled Icelandic post-rock...

An album which is not standard jazz

Then followed Jeroens guidance, a fine album...

And then along the same lines, but more adventurous...

And by the way I started the evening with the famous concert by the sea....

Pat Metheny - Rejoicing. From 1983. CD-rip
