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?

Hi Chris,

I've heard a few tracks from this on Andy Kershaw's program, what's it like?

Regards

John

OREGON - Moon and Mind

1979 stuff - when tapes were still tapes and instruments wre still instruments and Colin Walcott was still alive.

I heard a track on the radio one evening and liked it. I think it is a wonderful album. Very bluesy feeling yet unmistakably African and the guitar playing is really tasty. I find it emotional to listen to it. The sleeve notes are good to, with a good explanation of the lyrics. I find I am hearing more layers the more I listen to it. Unreservedly recommended.

John Surman - Way Back When

1969 stuff that is even more "up to date" than that Orgeon soup...

cheers

Was, Sly and the Family Stone - Stand! The sound of Summer, perfect for a sultry evening and to chase away some of the "oh so busy" blues

Now, Joan Armatrading - Into the Blues. Interesting. Is beginning to grow on me after initially not being so impressed.

Thanks Chris, I'll put it on my list (although I have so many cd's still in plastic rap it's embarrasing. Euro to dollar exchange rates, the internet,and Chateau Neuf de Pape can be dangerous!

at the moment this is sounding great

This one from 2001 is very good indeed. Songs from Tom Waits and Jagger-Richards! along with more traditional gospel numbers, all recorded in 3 days. Great production and band with Danny Thompson on bass ( always a quality control marker).

You can't go wrong with this one really

Van is certainly in the air

Bocherini's 'Fandango' quintet, especially its third movement, is the best Baroque Swing music that I have ever heard.

Munch,

Thanks for checking. Hope you are well.
It was warm and very windy on the weekend,. Today it is 10C with rain which is not that bad. Some other states experienced severe thunderstorms and tornados.

Listening now to the beautiful voice of Jody Russell who is the wife of a friend of mine at work.

Regards,

Haim
