What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

Duran Duran > The Wedding Album

Sarah Vaughan with the Clifford Brown sextet, beautiful, streaming on Tidal 

Enjoyed massively this one again, a new dimension on my ND555

Still remember how years ago this cd was often on in he car to listen to with my ex-wive on long drives to or from the Netherlands

Last one of the evening the playing is very articulated, like it...

My last for tonight

this closely followed  'Miles Davis & John Coltrane' one I posted about yesterday.  I played it earlier -- some great playing by Coltrane - good album...

enjoy/ken

Hilary Hahn - ELGAR / VAUGHAN WILLIAMS. Sacd. Nice Album

Steve Winwood - Refugees Of  the Heart

U2: Pop.

1994: original vinyl.

A bit mushy, but nonetheless vital and with a sense of energy, intensity and focus that recent offerings have lacked. 

Preparing for the concert: less than a fortnight to go. 

I have waited 40 of your earth years for this.

I could never quite get on with Asia,. I wanted the songs to develop with more of a sweeping crescendo, whereas I found them to pull their rock punches and recycle and loop before climax. Somewhat tantric.

Not sure about tantric. I’d simply say; rubbish.

Are Halibut known for their lack of tact? 

Kate Bush: Director's Cut.

Original vinyl.

Analogue re-recordings of KB's favourites. Awesomely rich with new insights into her minstrelsy.

Jimmy Smith - Home Cookin'  which features a couple of R'n'B classics and a couple of songs written by the ensemble.

Now playing.........

Marcin Wasilewski Trio - January

Marcin Wasilewski  (piano), Slawomir Kurkiewicz  (double-bass) and Michal Miskiewicz  (drums).

Streaming on TIDAL........   continuing on from this morning and listening to another of Marcin's albums from his catalogue. Quite enjoyable and working quite nicely after a long afternoon at work, this is certainly taking the edge off!

I can understand why you call it rubbish. And yeah it is in a way very controlled and very much sounding polished, lacking emotion...., but they made some great stuff which I still love today. The album above and the first album of the band are in my eyes good albums.

But I guess it’s one of the bands some people would love to hate....

First couple of today.

Have many versions of these pieces, still prefer Maria Jao Pires most..
