Portico Quartet - Art in the Age of Automation

Bert, anyone, I'm not one to comment on this normally but superb sound quality or recording, or both.

Now, Jack DeJohnette - Earth Walk

A more analogue feel from 1991. Good but different.

Yeah this one is on my wish list. However I wasn’t yet motivated enough. Found their first two albums more exciting...

Image result for tony bennett beat of my heart

Tony Bennett - The Beat of My Heart, I was  blown away by this when I first heard my father's vinyl copy. Issued in '57 Bennett is backed by some stellar musicians ,with percussionists of the calibre of Art Blakey to the fore , on a selection of popular songs.

The Best of Simon & Garfunkel. On CD from 1999. Twenty brilliant tracks from a vintage era featuring (perhaps) America's most talented tunesmith.

I think this will be often on my ND555, great album, more boogie as usual with Tord...

 

It is possibly my album of the year so far.

Pink Floyd. Animals (1977). CD remaster from 1992. I always love this one. Could be the group's most under-appreciated album.

Not a name you see very often now, but this is a listenable album of standards.
