On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Based on the post of Jeroen, we share a similar love for jazz, this is also entertaining with another fresh take on Caravan
The first song gives a nice workout on the bass, also from yesterday evening...
Breakfast treat...

Now Playing........
Amy Helm - This Too Shall Light
Streaming on TIDAL......... A new release (21/09/2018) from Amy and my second spin of this album. Great vocals and lyrics and the music is mighty fine as well!
To start today's listening session. Odd, I know, but I've only recently discovered Jeff Buckley.
On CD:-
Rosanne Cash - The River & The Thread
(1992)
Some Opiate from Tool to start off Monday evening, just about an EP length album that includes a couple of live tracks from one of their very early releases. Good stuff, I've always enjoyed how Tool go about their prog rock 'n metal, M.J.Keenans lead and vocals are always a standout.
Jasper Somsen trio - A new episode in life pt. II
Good modern jazz by the Jasper Somsen trio.
Jasper Somsen bass; Jean-Michel Pilc piano; André Ceccarelli drums
No reason ever needed to play Beatles album, especially this one. It's still rather magical.
(1991)
Fancying some Thin Lizzy I plumped for this fine best of album entitled Dedication which is a great title track and one of my favourites.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Edna Stern, piano
Tempête: Sonate Op. 31, No. 2 | Sonate Op. 13 | Sonate Op. 81a | 10 variations WoO 73
Now Playing.......
Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer- Not Dark Yet
Streaming on TIDAL........ I have not taken out his album from these two sisters in quite awhile, so spinning it up and it is sounding mighty fine!
