What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

Anyway, links:

A favorite duo with an exquisite give and take between the piano and bass. Highly recommended.

On the luverly black stuff (vinyl's very thin though). I find Baroque music rather conducive to work.

Hi Kevin,
I like this one. Will give it some more listening time later. You may also be interested in Stile Antico's "Music for Compline."
Also, I really like the Mosiac Records sets. I am limited to the CD offerings though. I have Ahmad Jamal, Louis Armstrong, and Django Reinhardt. Still getting through them, but the recordings and music are great.
Best regards,
Pat

Nice one, Steve.
