On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Now Playing.........
Lizz Wright - Dreaming Wide Awake
Streaming on NAS......... arrived in the mail this afternoon, ripped to NAS and taking out for a spin. A second CD from Lizz and her follow-up release (2005) after her debut album of 'Salt' in 2003. This is another fantastic album, or it is just 6:24 PM in the evening and all the stars have aligned and the music is just sounding...........oh so sweet!

Mr Scruff does a good job.
Now Playing..........
Wolfgang Muthspiel and Brian Blade - Friendly Travelers
Wolfgang Muthspiel (guitars, voice) and Brian Blade (drums, guitar, voice)
Streaming on NAS........... Arrived in yesterday's mail and now taking out for a spin. This was a recommendation from JEFF ANDERSON back on September 16th which I found & ordered the following day. Well through two tracks and can say, thank you Jeff, it sounds like a winner! Looking forward to the rest of the album.
Playing on Compact Disc - Live Robin Trower from 2002 _ including a stunning Bridge of Sighs
This will not get fans from the audiophile jazzers out there as it's recorded too hot. Won't get fans from the young burgeoning hipsters as it's too knee deep esoteric eccentric. But never the less this is awesome.
Now playing...................
Wolfgang Muthspiel - Driftwood
Wolfgang Muthspiel (guitar), Larry Grenadier (double bass) and Brian Blade (drums).
Streaming on NAS........... arrived in the mail yesterday and now taking out for a spin. Opening track 'Joseph' is sounding mighty fine and looking forward to the rest of the album!

Wish I still had my original "A Walk Across The Rooftops". These guys are hard to find, even with the power of the interwobble.
Miles Davis - Porgy and Bess
a bit small....Baaba Maal...Lam Toro
I have finally unpacked my LP12 and set it up on its shelf. This to start with as the cartridge etc all warm up and the bass starts to settle in. I forget just how comforting it is to be able to put on a record and let the sounds wash over you. I have really missed my LP12 and while the Rega 25 is a wonderful thing, my LP12 is a thing above.
