Aleg - looks like you have been posting from my CD collection today! This was, along with Stanko Dark Eyes, my favourite CD last year - so beautiful and made even better by the appearance of Mathias Eick.

Yes ... Us men folk are so tough when it comes to the forums (said with an inflated chest). I wonder what happens when she says this: "Adrian / Irwan ... better stop your spending on Naim or its the couch indefinitely!" (Ouch!)

I will be digging my Adrian 'ECM' Lontano edition of this Lars Danielsson album when I get back to Shah Alam.

Anything with John Parricelli on it is worth a listen.

I do indeed notice quite a lot of people with a like taste, esp. for the ECM and ACT catalogue. Which is of course no surprise to me.

'Morph the Cat' is a great album. Is it your favourite Donald Fagen album?

The Nightfly is still my fav...

Christophe, it is really a vocal album with Frisell doing his stuff. Pleasantly nice and enjoyable. Not very jazzy, more folky, indie but tuneful. I am sure you know Petra is daughter of Charlie. I am not sure I could say this was essential more pleasant.

Borrowed this from amazon.

This is a true duet album, not simply a singer being backed by a stellar accompanist. Petra Haden's vocals, alone or with some judiciously deployed overdubbed harmonizing, move with a fluidity that is perfectly mirrored in Bill Frisell's guitar phrasing and sonorities. Playing covers (with a pair of originals) further celebrates the common ground they share. All of the songs are linked by their melodic bearing, whether originally performed by current bands like Foo Fighters and Colplay or such contemporary writers as Tom Waits and Stevie Wonder. They also looked beyond the realm of the rock world with twentieth century standard bearers George Gershwin and Henry Mancini. Drawing from jazz, folk, pop, and rock, this album bridges them all, tossing aside labels with the same gentle confidence that informs the music.

me too!
