Jennifer Lim - Chopin Piano (Sonata #3, et al)
Cecil McBee - Alternate Spaces (with Chico Freeman, Don Pullen,et al)
Chico Freeman - Still Sensitive (a sequel to "Spirit Sensitive"; my all time classic for acoustic Jazz quartet)
Ten Piano Players - Volume One (with John Taylor, Jasper Van't Hof, Aki Takase, et al) all playing their tunes on the same piano in the same studio (no, not at the same time...)
Ten Piano Players - Volume Two
Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Charlie Mingus - Quintet Of The Year (with a concert of the century, I might add)
Sviatoslv Richter - Live solo piano recordings 1961-1978; Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt (Gems re-discovered and published on the Brilliant label)
Keith Jarrett - Fort Yawuh (with Redman, Haden, Motian)
E.S.T. - Seven Days of Falling (So, I made the plunge...)
Tripla Concordia - Musicke From the Ayre (Pre-Baroque Music from Purcell, Locke and Jenkins played by an acient music quartet with a friend of mine playing recorder; highly recommended if you're into this era of music)
Erkan Ogur+Djivan Gasparyan - Fuad (if you can ever get hold of records with the phantastic Turkish guitar player Erkan Ogur, grab them, hold them and run (after paying) - it's a shame that the world has not taken further note of this extraordinary musician)
Argerich / Abbado - Beethoven piano concert #2 & 3
Yundi Li - Chopin Scherzi / Impromptus (another rising star on the piano horizon - to be watched...)

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

New at Xmas

Ali Farke Toure: 'Red' and 'Green' just re-released as a pair on World Circuit. Fabulously played, sparse and rustic, mesmerising at times, a 'must buy' if you like like this sort of thing.

U2 'How to Defuse an Atomic Bomb' Pompous, overlong, old-fashioned etc etc. Also rather enjoyable.

The Band - Across The Great Divide (box set)

Superlative.

The first instalment of Sir Peter Maxwell Davis's Naxos Quartets. I still don't quite understand them, but it's mighty impressive writing, impressive playing, and impressive sound. Worth five of anyone's quids, I recommend it.

Just arrived via E-Bay a promo for the film "Tonite Let's All Make Love in London" 2 Floyd tracks Interstellar Overdrive (16:46) and Nick's Boogie (11:50) apparently the first recordings by PF before they signed for EMI, plus interviews with David Hockney and Lee Marvin.

H-

Ingenue is one of my favorite discs; Invisible Summer I found confusing. What's your take on them?
Posted on: 12 January 2005 by BigH47
I have only listened once and then not in "full concentration" mode. I heard nothing to stop me playing them again. I bought them both "on spec" so no knowledge of her music. Saying that I did recognise a couple of tracks. Ingenue is a simpler mix and I preferred it(so far).
I think they will go into "rotation".

Adrian,

How are you liking Sakamoto's 'Soundtracks'?

Do you have the 'Opera' ?which i think also is very good.
Posted on: 16 January 2005 by charliestumpy
Yeah - like that Floyd 'Tonite ....'

Kind wife at Chrimby got me S&G DVD/double CD 'Old Friends..' - as much as I like all their stuff, and most re-re-re-re-releases, this is supremely brilliant-magic issue.

Hi Kuma - not had a listen yet to the Sakamoto but I know it will be good - I also do not have Opera so will maybe give that a try sometime. I am working my way through the Philip Glass at the moment - all excellent stuff.
