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?

I've just read that Jason Isbell has left.


I hadn't heard that. Too bad. The Dirty South is a great album. I saw them perform outdoors last summer in downtown Buffalo. Really good show.

That album has some of the most fantastic, upbeat, fun tracks Zep ever laid down on vinyl - one of my all time favourites!

After a lot of fretting in the hifi corner, it's back to the music.






Wonderful (to my untutored ears) collections of music from Guinee. Some startling vocal tracks and some fantastic jazz tinged instrumentals as well.

Heard it on Andy Kershaws wonderful Monday night show on radio 3.

I dont like the remaster, had it on twice today hurts the ears.I will put it in the car and use my old copy.Shame munch


Hi Munch,

Have you tried the remaster of Physical Graffiti? Sound's OK to me, if not spectacular. But the thing that gets me is that the channels are reversed.

A really good alternative/pop record. Only hear d it twice but I'm impressed. Recording isn't wonderful, but I've heard worse.

Sure...
I have seen Archie Shepp a few times over the last 20 years. At first, he was a man full of outrageous energy, blowing a violent, yet when necessary very sweet horn. I always liked his tone. Then, a few years ago, I have bought "Left Alone Revisited", an hommage and tribute to Billy Holiday. Both Waldron and Shepp not in their thirties, any more. Neither in their fourties or fifties... Both producing an at times very fragile tone, full of sympathy, respect and sadness that she was not alive, anymore. The culmination being when Shepp sings the "Blues for 52nd street". Often has moved this CD very deep sadness in me. And - being a hopeless romantic, when it coems to music - I think this is what music should be capable of doing.

After I had bought the CD in 2002, I have seen Shepp in an intimate duo setup (I think it was Geri Allen, he was playing with) where he made use much more of his voice than his horn. A concert I will never forget.

cheers
