Can't agree more, Haim. When I saw them, couple of months ago, the "effect" was even stronger. Great album, great musicians, great music...

cheers
Stefan

Stefan,

I wish I could see them. Tomorrow I am going with Judy to hear Uri Caine with a quintet doing some Mozart and Mahler at the University of Chicago.

Regards,

Haim

I wood go, if Uri Caine was anywhere near. Have two of his Mahler CD's, and sneak around the Mozart one. Very much praised, here. Have fun !!! (Or, did this already happen ? Lost track - was on the road for the UN...)

cheers
Stefan

Huw,

This one is pure magic for me. I wonder if Stefan and Adrian have it...

Regards,

Haim

Adrian has EVERYTHING and I have at least everything with Charlie Haden. This one is amongst my favorite 15 with Charlie Haden (I know: Sales guy answer...)

cheers
Stefan

Bob Dylan "The Freewheelin'" on vinyl.

It's been a very long time since I last listening to this.

Does your copy (if it's CD of course) have the alternate of Madness? Tony Williams' drumming just blows me away on that track.

Stefan,

I am glad you have Hank Jones. As for Adrian, imagine if he decides to go with an LP-12 and start a second sycle of havinh everything on LPs.... The GNP of Australia will triple!

Now:

Hi Cyrene!
No, my copy is a Columbia vinyl (kcs 9594) printed in USA.
I don't know the digital edition but this vinyl i have contains the track "Madness" and Tony Williams plays drums.
And yes...............those cymbals goes like madness!

Laurie Anderson - Big Science

Was: John Williams & The London String Quartet - Boccherini Quintets



A decent e-Bay purchase, very pleasant way to kick off the listening session

Is: Keith Jarrett - Arbour Zena



This is a great disc, the vinyl sounds very different to the CD, with Charlie Haden's bass more present in the mix. I think this one stirs the emotions, probably not the jazzers favourite Jarrett but definitely worth a listen. I find it quite therapeutic and not at all cold, often the reaction to Garbarek's saxophone.

The Muffs-The Muffs

If not mentioned, try this one. 4 realeases and all are great.
