The Voice!
One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

This is just marvellous. One of the finest jazz albums ever IMHO.
Now Playing.......
Bjarte Eike - The Image of Meloncholy
Steaming on TIDAL......... Something different that I have not played for awhile but enjoy his violin playing and the music. Very nice for this Tuesday afternoon!
Paul Weller - 22 Dreams
Must be something about working in Pompey (as today) which always makes me think of The Wellster. Pulling this record off the shelf I realised I might have played it all of three times. Putting that right, now.
Ella Fitzgerald - Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book,presently spinning disc 1.
Earth, Wind & Fire - All 'n All (1977) continuing the EW&F groove.
On original vinyl...
Enjoying LP no.6 : )
On Vinyl (first time I’ve ever said that on this thread!) .
bloody marvellous. And this a digitally recorded album and all.. transformationally better than the CD rip I would previously have happily listened to..

Debs, I don’t know these recordings, but now that I’ve resurrected my vinyl I completely get why you’ve stuck with vinyl ... Dvorak, whether in Digital or Vinyl is one of the absolute kings of Romantic Classical. I will look this one out.
1st run - delicate...
On CD:-
Morcheeba - Blaze Away
So far thoroughly enjoying CD 1 of this 6 CD cherry red set.

Lise de la Salle - bach liszt
Playing on Compact Disc - Fabulous Live Stones set from 1972 - Recording quility is very good
John Mayer - Heavier Things
Upbeat MOR blues and a great reminder of good times
Not s good as Ode and Where do you Start, but still enjoyable...
Fabulous Album by Country Rock Maestro Gram Parson's from 1973 - Gram would be dead 2 months after it's release - Playing on Cassette on a BASF C90
A suggestion from earlier in this thread, pretty good, mellow.
Lera Lynn - Plays Well With Others (2018). Streaming on Tidal
Fabulous live Rory Gallagher set taken from the Stratmasters appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival from 1975 - 1977 -1979 and 1985 - Playing on Compact Disc on Eagle Records 2006
Continued with Brad....
Currently listening to a surprisingly great album of Brad Mehldau. I was initially not convinced of the concept - but have to say that it works out very fine.
Playing on Casssette on TDK AD -X C60 - Fine album of Spirit from 1977
Now Playing.........
Tord Gustavsen - The Ground
Tord Gustavsen (piano), Harald Johnsen (double-bass), and Jarle Vespestad (drums)
Streaming on NAS........ Needing something calm, cool & relaxing this Tuesday morning and this trio delivers. One beautiful album!
