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

Now Playing.........

Brad Mehldau trio - Day Is Done

Brad Mehdlau (piano), Larry Grenadier (bass) and  Jeff Ballard (drums).

Streaming on NAS...........   a random pick to kick off this Monday morning.........

Another fine album...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - (pronounced ' leh-nerd 'skin-erd) , playing the remaster which includes some interesting demos as bonus tracks.The demo of "Freebird" featured has only part of the climatic guitar solo as Allen Collins breaks a string and the band power on until he re-strings.Fantastic stuff .

Playing on Compact Disc - Very cerebal and calming  Mozart Clarinet Concertos.

Listening to the Bruch Violin Concerto with the New York Phil & Mitropoulos.

Recorded February 1952 at 30th Street, NYC for Columbia/Sony

On Vinyl

Now playing........

Bill Frisell - The New Songs of Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach

Bill Frisell (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Brian Blade (drums, percussion), Don Byron (clarinet, bass clarinet), Billy Drewes (alto saxophone), Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), Viktor Krauss (bass) and Ron Miles (trumpet).

Streaming on NAS........  moving on to some mellow songs arranged by Bill Frisell and a wonderful cast of musicians!

Playing on Compact Disc - Green Day - Dookie  - A 50 p charity shop buy.Never heard it before and it sounds OK

I went over to a shop in Oxford today to pick a piece of furniture up I'd ordered and ended up staying nearly an hour, not because the shop was good but because the music they were piping out was. It was like listening to my old schoolboy C90 compilations. One of the songs they played had my rooting out the LP I have it on, it's their only hit but what a classic - any guesses?

I remember learning this for my Grade 7 Clarinet exam, one of my favourites, along with Weber. Nice call, refined listening.

  Much syncopated goodness, as always, from Talking Heads .............. my, but these are good to dance to, innit.

Strange I got a message that it needed to be approved for publishing and now it shows up double as I published from another source, never had this before....

(1987)

Secrets of the Beehive

Because, I always enjoy David Sylvian's fine distinctive voice and this album has a lovely poignant and mellow vibe to it.

Try this one - very good !!!

Have mentioned this one before, but it is so good, thought I would give it another 'plug'  !

Playing on Vinyl - Brilliant debut from 1983 from Australian Paisley underground rockers The Hoodoo Gurus - Stoneage Romeos.

   Talking Heads - True Stories.

   More of the same ^^^^^ this band just gets betterer and betterer, the more you listen to them ............... superb album, IMHO. 

Leonard Cohen

I'm in love with a German film star.

I saw them at Newcastle Poly on that tour.

Now playing Rachel Grimes - Book of Leaves

With thanks to Massimo who introduced me to it. At first it was a kind of system test disc, but then, guess what, I started liking hearing it.
