What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Johannes Brahms - Clarinet Sonatas & Trio - Raphaël Sévère, Adam Laloux, Victor Julien-Laferriere
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly,Angry Mob.Another album ,chosen at random,from '07
Inter alia:
AHa: Hunting High and Low
Fun Lovin' Criminals: Loco: original vinyl: never sounded so good: the 250 DR now on song, 3 months after upgrade.
Run Daddy Run has such a wide soundstage it's outside the listening room!
Bass? oh yeah! SBL gurus, you don't know what you're missing...duck and run for cover, although I don't need to, since I'm immortal (don't believe everything you see in the Marvel films) 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Further Out, released in '61 featuring the classic line-up.
I bought this in Tokyo a few weeks ago. This is the two-disc SACD of the ’76 Mahler 9th plus the ’78 Schubert “unfinished.” Tower Records Japan has been collaborating with Universal (DG, Decca, Philips) to release SACD’s of the back catalog. Really nice transfers!
By the way, in case you haven’t been to Japan lately, CD stores are alive and well with huge crowds at Tower, HMV, Disk Union, Virgin, etc.
The last one yesterday evening before sleeping
Vinyl released 1982 - Starting off with a bit of George Harrison. ????
Well if Miles Davis, George Shearing, Ahmad Jamal and Julian Cannonball Adderley all dig Bill Evans, who am I to disagree?
Bill Evans - Explorations, recorded 2 February 1961 at Bell Sound Studios, NYC, with Scott LaFaro (b) and Paul Motian (d).
Playing on Compact Disc on Naxos - Enchanting Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos
Some jazz to start off my day
Reading the Brexit thread led me to listening to this.
Classy relaxed trombone and a great band.
Playing on Compact Disc - A mighty fine dose of JJ Cale from 1981
Shaving mirror version, vinyl originally released 1963 - A gritty hard bop roots album, that’s highly recommended. ????
Following on from Mr Steel's suggestion, above. More fine hard bop from Hank Mobley.

A bunch of trax off their up and coming album due out next year.
I shall look forward to that. Ewe, any idea when next year it is due for release?
Think it is January
A Mobley set from 1958 though have to say I think I tend to prefer the Another Monday Night at Birdland set to this one.
Playing on Cassette on TDK D C60 - Live Jefferson Airplane from The Filmore West from 1968
