Sade - The Ultimate Collection (2011)  With a voice as smooth as warm melting chocolate, I regret never having seen her doing her thing in a club like Ronnie Scott's.

 

This is pretty good, from around 2003.

Thanks Jeff, that's kind of you I'll go and look it out.

Imelda May - Live Love Flesh Blood

Imelda May - Live Love Flesh Blood

Streaming on Tidal.......  Keeping the mellow beat going this Monday, a tremendous album!

Mary Coughlan, Sentimental Killer, original vinyl.

Spotted Seakayaker playing this earlier. One of Mary’s best, jazzy, bluesy, excellent backing musicians, the version of Handbags and Gladrags is a standout for me.

Playful trio jazz

 

Posted on: 12 February 2018 by Eoink

Schubert Arpeggione Sonata, Beethoven Variations on themes from The Magic Flute, Robert Bex Cello, André Krust piano, original vinyl, £1.99 from Oxfam a few months ago, original cardboard inner sleeve only, no outer.

I’ve no knowledge of either musician, but so far in the Schubert a very enjoyable performance, lovely tone and pace on the cello. Slightly clicky in the quiet parts, must remember to buy an RCM.

My first venture into the Ozrics! I bought this yesterday on vinyl for <£15 on the River, having seen someone else post an Ozrics album on here. My sister-in-law used to have a boyfriend who was very much into this band, yet I didn't take the opportunity to listen to them then.

Quite suits my taste so far.

Altan, The Red Crow, original vinyl.

My favourite Irish traditional band, Mairéad Ní Mhoanaigh sings beautifully in the few vocal tracks, and the whole band show extremely fine musicianship, both in technique and interpretation, across all the well chosen traditional numbers. Tommy Bhetty’s waltz is one of my most loved pieces of music.

Slowly Rolling Camera (eponymous)

Saw it mentioned here. Playing it for the third time. A downtempo slow burn, I think.

I

I have this one in my collection too.  I saw them when they were on tour and visited our local pub.  I was a bit of a folk fan in those days (well, still am really) and it was a good, well lubricated night.
