What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

Now a bit of good Chicago Blues.

She is backed by Magic Slim & The Teardrops (incl his rhythm guitarist at the time John Primer) along with Sunnyland Slim and a bunch of other top notch Chicago blues players.

Her only album as she died too young.

If anyone has seen the Jerry Lee Lewis biopic then she was the female singer covering Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On.

AC/DC - Back in Black - CD Rip

Not my usual Sunday morning fix and no lie in for SWMBO. Hells Bells!

Not straight forward - but very enjoyable...

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon

Inspired by a feature on R4's Broadcasting House which had the musical choices of a 'digital native' (female) who had never seen a record player and a vinyl record shop owner (male). Her playlist for him featured Adele and Maria Carey (I think) and his for her was a vinyl copy of Dark Side. They both liked each other's music.

Anyway, probably not listened to this for ten years or so. Sounding bloody great. (Coffee from Costa Rica btw)

Angela Hewitt - Bach

Just finished listening to this wonderful performance by Angela Hewitt. It contains the lesser known music of Bach. But still very satisfying.

Michael Gees - ImproSatie.

Now listening to this one. German pianist Micahel Gees improvises on the music of Satie. The result is a mixture of classical and jazz music.

Relaxing piece of Vivaldi - oboe - to get Sunday morning going on Compact Disc on  the Naxos label

Vivaldi Oboe Concerti - what a good idea. 

Bring Me to Light - Neon Waltz (from ‘Strange Hymns’)

Indie guitars, some synths, tunes - what’s not to like?

Although I've heard it before, it hasn't really worked for me; maybe I've not been in the right mood. But I just heard Waltz for Debby from this album on BBC Radio 3 FM and the album has gone straight on my shopping list. 

Following Bill Evans on the radio with more of the same, perfect ballad playing.

Nice modern jazz

No need to stop yet. This album with Scott La Faro on bass.

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

Busy ripping through my CD collection at present and found this one. Its been a while but some great tunes on this album.

Grateful Dead - Steal Your Face on cd from when Grateful Dead records had a distribution deal in the UK with Ace Records and the rest of Europe with "Line".

Will follow this as it was exactly 46 years ago that it happened with the Dead at Wembley Empire Pool from the Europe 72 set.

Brad Mehldau - After Bach

I suspect that this album will be in my top 3 albums of 2018.

I fell for it long time ago. The synergy between the voice and piano is just outstanding. The XRCD disc's  warm and flowing sound is a bonus.

H.

I'm gonna join in with the Vivaldi love... on CD:

Love - Forever Changes 50th anniversary edition is easily the best sounding version I’ve come across.  The edition comes with 4 CDs with alternate mixes demo etc. and also a 180g vinyl record.  The vinyl is my favorite and I’ve been playing it all weekend.  Highly recommended if you are a fan of Arthur Lee and co and this masterpiece.

Keep coming back to this.

On vinyl. You never need to justify playing the Frapp in my house.
