Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Sharon Van Etten - Tramp
First listen. Really enjoying this. She played in town recently but I wasn't able to attend. Sorry that I missed it.
Hi Pat, I'd also recommend Sharons previous release 'Epic'. At just over 30 minutes, small but perfectly formed. I'm glad I got a ticket to see her in London next month, the night after Steven Wilson 
Check Sharons videos (especially 'Love More' from Epic) here - http://sharonvanetten.com/video
An excellent offering from Courtney Pine's former pianist (he guests on one track).
Well recorded and produced. No horrid compression here!
Brahms Quintet with Quatuor Modigliani & Jean-Frederic Neuburger and a couple of songs with the mezzo-soprano Andrea Hill.
More Brahms chamber music with the three Piano Quartets. The opening of the c minor quartet is one of my favourite musical moments.
....Clara....Clara....Clara....
Second CD, the "party mix". Pretty good so far, an eclectic selection of world funky beats.
Cheers

Great acoustic performance on the MTV unplugged series. Had this on a VHS tape. That tape and the VHS player have long since gone. Hoping that one day this will come out on DVD/Bluray.
Time for a great bit of grungy rock -
Another great Neil Young recording with plenty of grungy distorted guitars
Classic Dylan
Got this today so first listen
Golden Earring - Moontan
Outstanding album the one with Radar Love on it.
new in today, just started the first 'spin' from my music server.

Hi Aleg, keep us informed on your findings. The last four quintets are great music, but strangely short of really good recordings.

Concertos #17 and 18, my benchmark recordings of these works.

Harlem's finest, Pretty Flacko. 'Goldie'
Not usually a jazz fan but heard this chap recently and thought it might be worth getting a LP to see what like. Amazing LP to put on when I get home from work and need to wind down...
