I'm a great Elbow fan, and in my opinion this is up there with their very best. Awesomely wonderful!

2017 Music Matters reissue of the original 1964 Blue Note Records release.

Thanks for posting this one Quad33. I don't have any Wayne Shorters CD's at the moment. But based on the musicians and the period, this should be an album I like. I'm going to check it out.

Regards,

Jeroen.

Be sure to check out 'Speak No Evil' too which is a well recognised classic.

Lee Konitz - Frescalalto  streaming from QOBUZ. An interesting review in this month's Jazzwise. Amazing to realise that Konitz is 90 this year and still producing music like this..

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't Stand the Weather

Bonkers good! 

Posted on: 13 March 2017 by Jeroen20

I have three recordings of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' (Janine Jansen, Kyung Wha Chung and Anne Akiko Meyers). This one is my favorite. How Anne Akiko Meyers interprets the music on this recording really appeals to me. Her playing of the violin is (more than) excellent. As is the sound quality of this recording.

Bonkers good! 

As are all his albums, really.

Don't know whether you have access to Netflix, Nigel, but there's a documentary on there about Stevie's beginnings and subsequent rise to fame, with some great live footage ......... well worth a look.

Thanks Dave. I will surely look up that SRV documentary on Netflix.

Steve Winwood - Roll With It.

Sticking with the "Stevie's" for now, this is a fab blast from the past, pop pickers.

More Dead. This time from that brief renaissance in 1990. This show's from the Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro, MA on July 14th. The first set, "Shakedown Street" saide, is a bit "meh", but the second set is much better.

Well, since I recommended that one, I think I'll play my current Wayne Shorter favourite, 'The Soothsayer'. A similar band, but with McCoy Tyner on piano - whilst not perhaps as well known as Herbie Hancock, he's certainly his equal. And of course, the mighty Tony Williams on drums.

Sugaray Rayford - Dangerous

Still working my way through my Blues discovery journey and this is definitely a keeper.

Oh Sugaray is good, I mean good.
