What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Listening and watching Growing Up live by Peter Gabriel. A spectacular show. I wasn't a great fan, but would try and catch him if he tours again.
Did anyone see the Growing Up tour? Can they tell me where the speakers were?

Paranomia... The Art Of noise.
Somewhat off the wall, but perfect for my present state of mind.

Love the 'Rainy day man'.
Joe Sample: Hunter.
I need to get another copy. Since I've dropped it on the floor and the edge of the LP is cracked. ( The first track on the both sides are shagged )

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Almost Blue from 1981....haven't played this in ages and since I seem to have grown to like "Americana" since I moved to the US I have to say that Costello does a superb job of the covers on here.

Dark side of the Moon - it's a beautiful sunny morning in Syndey and I think it is going to be a Pink Floyd kind of day....

Motor not turning now so a PSU or motor problem.
Would have been playing Who's Next, possibly followed by some Floyd

Good ol' Herbie Hancock - Cantaloupe Island
The 1962-1965 stuff on Blue Note. Not really an audiophile pearl, but - roarrr ! - does that swing !

Hi all, and…greetings from Down Under.
Usually I dedicate a week of listening to every one of my favorites. This time is Ron Carter’s turn and I have put aside a stack of CDs comprising:
· The Bass And I (Blue Note, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder)
· So What (Blue Note)
· When Skies Are Grey…(Blue Note, recording and mixing Jim Anderson)
· Stardust (Somethingelse, rec. and mixing Jim Anderson)
I listen mainly to Jazz music and I’m quite picky not about the performance but the sound quality as well.
I can recommend you all the above recordings. They are all closely micked and above all Jim and Rudy posses an exquisite taste in capturing the warm and athmosphere of such performances. They all will make your system (Naim or whatever) sound GREAT.
Happy listening,
George

Hi George, and welcome to the Naim forum (nice entry, the "Music Room"...)
If you have your "Ron Carter week", I'd like to recommend to add the more recent
Joel Xavier & Ron Carter - "in New York"
and
Rosa Passos & Ron Carter - "Entre Amigos"
to your pile.
Both are duet recordings of the finest sort, and show that Ron Carter hasn't just continued to do the things he's always been making. Excellent recordings, too. Both.
Unless you're into pre 70's recordings, only, of course...
cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Many thanks for your recommendations! Indeed, “Entre Amigos” is on my short list. I have just purchased Tord Gustavsen’s second release: ”The Ground” It is magic; a bit more tempo than “Changing Places” though but, overall, a class act.
Best regards,
George
