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:

I heard this for the first time on a flight from the Far East to the UK. I had no idea just how good this album is. Bought the vinyl from amazon as soon as I got home.
The man's a genius. How could I have missed this album for so long?
You're not wrong!.. Bought my copy way back in the late '70s. On yellow vinyl with a single included, it's Mister Wonder's masterpiece.
Both my son's have their own copies..........good lads!

On CD. One of the modern giants, and sadly missed.
I've never really listened to Duke Ellington
Tony, it is about time you did!
I recommend "Blues In Orbit", "Far East Suite" or "The Blanton-Webster Band" to start off with. You won't regret it!

And if you havn't explored the Duke's work you may have missed the Count ! Basie's 'Complete American Decca Recording' on a 3 CD set and some of his latter work on Roulette (Atomic Basie/Kansas City Suite for example) are recommended. Some of the finest big band swing jazz ever recorded IMO!

OK, thanks guys. I was intending to post regarding recommendations but you've saved me the effort! 
Challenging but nevertheless rewarding!

Original 1978 Vinyl.
Daryl and John hated this album. I understand that the vocal mic can sound a little thin, but it's not in that tinny, bootleg-sounding way. It actually makes this sound more intimate, like the small club it was recorded in,for H&O's '70s live sound, it can't be beaten.

+1 on the Marc Cohn.

Love his smaller pieces here particularly 4 Ländler.
