On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Bert Schurink posted:During workout - sounding like Led Zeppelin 2.0......
I like this CD so much that I loaned it to my 22-year-old son, a big LZ fan, for a recent road trip of his several weeks ago. He's coming home next week and I'll be interested to see his willingness to give it back.
Released 2005 - Great mix of jazz, funk and rock. ????
Clifford Brown Memorial Album. Consummate be-bop.
Soothing Chopin to get another working week going - sounding gourgous - Playing on Compact Disc on Naxos
96/24 file, from a Mac into an Oppo 205. From the Brown Bomber super deluxe set...
Original vinyl.
WHY - a conversation about memorable concerts, he was a one man band, supporting John Mayall and the Colston Hall was packed. Part way through a slow number he stopped playing and all you could hear for the four bar break was a gentle thump, thump as feet tapped time. Of course, he came back in exactly on time.
Great Live set from the late great Sonny boy Williamson and the Yardbirds from 1963 - Playing on Compact Disc on Charly Records

Just thirty two minutes long this was J.J.'s debut album and what a fine blueprint it was for the rest of his work, his music just oozes class and super laid back goodness.
Because this is one-hell-of an album.
