So Dean - do you like Abercrombie? I saw you played another of his albums a couple of days ago. One of the more interesting American jazz musicians to my ears.

Now

Adrian,

I did not at first but I've grown to like the two CD's that I own. They are quite slow, gentle and sparse and that at first made me feel uneasy now I'm getting more used to slower music and appreciate it more. I think I'll be getting more of his work. I've realised I like Guitar Jazz as well.



Dean...

Proof that if you leave something on your wishlist long enough, someone will buy it for you... eventually

That's probably the only Sclavis on ECM I don't own - must add it to my wishlist! Have you seen the Napoli's Walls concert on YouTube (or DVD)?. Looks like it was quite a night:

I have to say I am quite enjoying this album, on vinyl as well.

I'll take a look at the video. Must play Joel Grare as well sometime soon as I have not given it the attention it probably deserves...

I'm really enjoying my first listen Adrian. It's a very unusual sound world, with elements of jazz, early music and chinese classical mashed together in a very organic way.

Hi Flettster,

Noticed you playing these a bit lately. In case you didn't know, they released a new mixtape as a free download a few days ago - kills.

I haven't heard it yet, though I did notice that 'Ecstasy' from the above album is Weezy's 'Lollipop' with their words on top. (I probably shouldn't admit to knowing that.)

More temptation....

Vinyl - a beguiling sound.

Well just back from a spin on the tandem and now time for some serious piano music -



Absolutely captivating. The piano tone must be the best I've heard yet since getting my new Naim amp a couple of weeks ago.

Wow Karl... you seem to be as much of a Pogo / Kovacevich nut as myself, and your name suggests we drive the same brand of car. Can't be coincidence!

Hi,

Not a nut of Pogorelich/Kovacevich in particular, rather a nut for music in general! Nevertheless the discs of Pororelich I do have are all good with the Prokofiev 6th Sonata and Bach English Suite No. 2 being my favourites.

And yes my name is due to my love (and ownership) of a certain English sports car - a 1970's S4 Elan.

Regards,

Karl

Karl,

Good points and agree that the Elan S4 is right up there with the most beautiful English sports cars ever made.

Incidentally, my fist encounter with Pogorelich was a concert, many years ago, with a substantial amount of Bach on the playlist. It was VERY good, and he was kind enough to chat a bit after the concert. It was a great experience, and I have been collecting his (few) CDs and attending the occasional (rare) live performance since.

Cheers,

EJ
