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

An old favourite on vinyl, but when looking for a picture I found there was also a CD version covering two days of the session at Ronnie Scott's released by his widow. Has anybody heard this and is it worth getting? Regards

On the Original Black.
Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symph done an okay job with this,
[although not a patch on the Bolshoi Theatre with Zuraitis.]
But i really like the way the cover art goes so well with my curtains.

..and now rocking out to :-

Tudor & Jacobean music for private devotion.
First listen.

I really like that kind of music - and this looks v interesting. Would love to know your thoughts on that disc as I may invest if it's any good.
Cheers

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
Pat, thanks for the rec. I've just listened to the previews on "Music for Compline" and the singing sounds wonderful (even through my computer speakers and in 30-second chunks) so I'm going to order it.
I too love the Mosaics. I've got three boxes on vinyl, all Miles (IASW, BBrew and the complete Miles/Gil Evans), would love to get more: the pressing quality and accompanying texts are exemplary. There's a tasty Duke/Ella one I've got my eye on...
On lovely black stuff. Sublime.

Hi Kevin,
Cool. I hope you enjoy it. I can imagine that Duke/Ella set will be very good as well!
