What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Official recording of a Live show from 1983. Not released.
Another good album Teresa. Sometimes I just wish she would harden her sound.
The new Michelle Malone. Don't see her posted on here much so thought I should rectify that.
First play of the last disc in the Vitamin Enhanced box set, 'The Bits Between The Bits'. I think I had the volume control up a bit after listening to Radio 3, started this and WOW! This is high energy Ozrics. I'll keep the volume up on this one, I think. Excellent SQ too.
Michael Franks - The art of tea
My favorite CD of Michael Franks.
On CD:- 30th anniversary edition
King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon
On CD:-
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Hank Mobley - Reach out!
- Hank Mobley - tenor sax
- Woody Shaw - trumpet
- George Benson - guitar
- Lamont Johnson - piano
- Bob Cranshaw - bass
- Billy Higgins - drums
Recorded in 1968. This is not the hard bop style jazz that Hank Mobley record in the 50's and early 60's. It's more soul jazz.
4 LP set of this:
Great! Thanks to Thames Water, we currently have no H20. So I shall console myself by spinning a bit of Percy on vinyl...
1968 - vinyl - UK pressing...
Something loud to get me thru steam cleaning floors downstairs
Despite what the cover suggests, this is the complete recording of Verdi's opera, not the butchered soundtrack to the film.
Cheers

Original Vinyl... Brilliant Soundtrack.
Jimmy Smith - House party
An excellent album from Jimmy Smith with a great line up! Recorded in 1957 and 1958. The album has the feeling of a jam session with long songs and long solo's of the musicians.
The most recent album from the excellent Time is a Blind Guide. It’s probaby what you’d call avant garde jazz, but it’s really accessible.
Sylvie Courvoisier trio - D'Agala
Checking out this for me unknown jazz trio.
From the brilliant Ten Year War box, it's Sabotage on splatter vinyl. A terrible cover, but there are great treasures within, including my favourite Sabs tune, "Symptom Of The Universe"...
Now Playing.......
Chico Freeman - Spirit Sensitive
Streaming on TIDAL........ A mention from HAIM RONEN yesterday had me place this in the TIDAL queue and now taking it out for a spin to start this Sunday morning. It is sounding mighty fine, smooth and mellow, a perfect way to start this day!

Wishbone Ash - Argus
Another album in Top Ten of all time.
The Donald (Fagen, that is, not the other guy). On vinyl. Still attempting to cheer the place up despite a complete lack of water.
Here's one to watch
The blues are never far away
