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?

That's a great album with the best version of Impressions this side of Trane! I am going to pull my old vinyl copy out!

BTW, I am listening to Michel Petrucciani So What, Best Of. He had such a wonderful touch and interpretation of music. I am sorry I never saw him perform.

OH yeah!
This band is tight.
Listening to the Impressions now, btw.
McCoy Tyner: what the world needs now
Doing the covers of Burt Bacharach tunes
the Sex, The City, The Music
An eclectic collection of current 60's influenced J-pop.
From corky Cornelius to wacky Fantastic Plastic Machine.
UA: Ametora
Japanese pop diva. A light weight as Nora Jones.
A high production value. But the performance is pure fluff.

Stephen Stubbs, chitarrone & baroque guitar
Maya Homburger, baroque violin

Got this one yesterday along with
Both are outstanding and fresh examples of these musicians greatness. I was really surprised by Michael Henderson's bass playing. I never realized he was a serious musician, after his vocal hits of the seventies, ie, You Are My Starship
Kittens!
Reeeeeaaaaly LOUD!

Chucho Valdes: Fantasia Cubana
One of the great Cuban pianist playing various classical piano concertos.
The Allaes showcase his powerful performance.
Dead Can Dance / Into The Labyrinth / Lisa Gerrard & Brendan Perry / 4AD
Vashti Bunyan is quite prolific bringing out a new album every 35 years. Well at least they are both wonderful.

Chucho Valdes: Bele Bele en La Havana
The track one 'Sun Montino' is one of my *test* disc to see how a system can cope with complex rhythmic material.
Not too many can survive this one without getting totally confused through out not only the each instrument but how each player plays against one another.

I went to the album release party for this record in DC a couple of years back. I got a free copy, which is just as well cos I would never have bought it
