As much as I love nearly all the Dieskau Lieder, have you ever heard the following one? I found it phenomenal:

This is a very good version, I'm enjoying it as well but for German lyriks I do prefer a native speaker, doesn't bother me with Italian or French because I can't really tell the difference. Winker

Quite a bit of American jazz today, including:







One of the reviewers on Amazon describes Andrew Hill as the perfect blend of Herbie Hancock and Cecil Taylor. And who am I to disagree?

Ben Harper - "The Will To Live"



I found this to be a particularly good CD when demoing equipment.

Lee Konitz, Brad Mehldau and Charlie Haden - Another Shade of Blue - 1999

This trio represents three generations, and each player in his own way has made bold strokes without abandoning the tradition. Konitz, elder statesman and traditionalist, fit right in with not-so-traditional trumpeter/composer Kenny Wheeler on his 1997 ECM release, Angel Song. (That album, incidentally, also featured a drumless ensemble.) Haden helped birth the avant-garde with Ornette Coleman and yet can play the hell out of the mainstream with pianist Kenny Barron. And Mehldau, with his own extraordinary trio, has made a mark by stretching conventional forms to their breaking point, with increasingly explosive results. Another Shade of Blue, like its predecessor, is an important historical document, showing how three musicians spanning the latter half of jazz's century have chosen to interpret their inheritance, never once losing sight of what really matters: making beautiful music.
