What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

One of my favorite trio albums of Keith Jarrett. Just check out the intro to 'My funny valentine'. It's brilliant in my opinion.

For me I have a lot of albums I like from this trio, so this one is not per definition for me the best one, I guess you already know as you seem to have a keen jazz interest, but I would recommend also the following albums....

- the 6cd at the blue note, some longer songs are really getting to the point of magic connection between the three

- my foolish heart

- somewhere there last one with the great rendering of somewhere

...and as single one I can get emotional of the version of Never Let Me Go from the album Tokyo 96......full of emotions....

A remarkable version, have already played it a couple of times...

 

Very listenable,  this one Bert - I've given it a few runs on Tidal since you first flagged it up.  I'm not at all knowledgeable on classical music, but I much prefer this version to the Glenn Gould CD I have.  Keep the recommendations coming please !  Cheers  N.

 

Glenn Gould is for me the gold standard for this piece of music in my eyes. There is of course a big list of also attractive renditions. From the more recent recordings I would also recommend to listen to the version of Alexandre Tharraud...

Interesting trio from Bandcamp...

Now switched to Lynne Arriale, she produced a lot of high quality album, but she is less adventurous than some of her colleagues .....

Nice modern jazz trio from Australia. They used to be with the Naim label, but I think they left and you can find their earlier and more recent work now on Bandcamp. It's dynamic jazz with a focus on syncopic rhythms - for me very enjoyable...

On orange vinyl. Thought I'd give this a spin as It's been a while since I played anything by her, and I went to see her live at the Sage a bit ago and enjoyed the night.

After playing tracks from various The The albums in my collection this evening i thought i'd end with this one. 

The The - Mind Bomb

This is a new (to me) Chet Baker album, and I'm really enjoying it. And what a great cover.

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943): Sonata for cello and piano in g-minor, Op. 19

Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Sonata for cello and piano in C, Op, 119

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893): Romance | Meditation

Two of the all time great cello sonatas for me which always drain me emotionally and leave me not wanting to search for words tonight.   Instead, I will leave that for another day.  For now I will be content to just "see red" and have another listen!!

It's funny to see how also classical has become more and more about marketing. This kind of picture would never show up 30'years ago.....

Agree, Burt. In the old days they would have shown the cello in a much more decent angle..

Speaking of cellos:

"It is a voice we have never heard before; Joseph-Marie-Clément Dall'Abaco is a major discovery and Kristin von der Goltz's advocacy of his work here is above criticism. Cello fanatics will certainly want to know this, sooner rather than later, but there is no reason why any other music lover should feel excluded from this discussion. Raum Klang's disc Joseph-Marie- Clément Dall'Abaco: 11 Capricen für Violoncello may not look like much, and the name might be unfamiliar to you, but this release embodies some of the very best qualities classical music has to offer in ways that other kinds of music cannot touch."(AllMusic)

Thanks again to the kind person on the forum who pointed out these magnificent solo works.

Listened to these two albums while watching the footy.

Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland by Shpongle

Because I haven't played this for a long time here is an Amazonian comment that will do it better justice than I can. 

"I feel I just can't do it justice with mere words. Shpongle's music is so beautiful and wonderfully weird that I don't think any series of adjectives can summaries what an amazing record this. I guess Indian, classical and chillout are a few words I could use but the justice comes from hearing it running through a high end sound system. The details are so intricate and finely honed, I could listen to this 20 times and still feel I wanted to know it better."

Very impressed by this  - headphones on (V1/Mac/Tidal) & this is doing me very nicely at this chill out part of the evening, As you say an interesting mix of styles/influences. Another great find after Lunatic Soul which I have just finished listening to....again.

I suppose it has just caught up to most other kinds of music. I don't have a problem with that as long as the contents live up to the package.

Albion, The Indefinite State Of Matter, Tidal.

Oh dear, minus lots of forum points for this rather good prog album ��

On vinyl.  Old but god.

Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation, one of my favourite scandi bands who play great psychedelic rock.

For other Audirvana + 3 users I was unable to play anything by JO+TL  after the upgrade (from A+2). I had 'a light bulb moment' when I then tried to play something by Florence + The Machine, that wouldn't play either ("error loading track"). So I edited all the metadata for both bands on The NAS and on the Audirvana library removing the "+" symbol and allowed it to resync', problem solved, it obviously no longer enjoys the + sign in the metadata...

Just downloaded the latest update for Audirvana, version 3.0.3 (3007) and amongst other bug fixes the issue of no playback with a "+" in the metadata has been resolved.

I have his first album and was underimpressed by it's combination of Hendrix like music (nice) and something else more modern. Now this album is much more coherent in style and I have to say I start to like it...

Very nice, a pity that he didn't record so much...

Horace Silver - piano
Woody Shaw - trumpet
Joe Henderson - tenor sax
J.J. Johnson - trombone on tracks 4 - 6
Bob Cranshaw - bass
Roger Humphries - drums

After the success of Song for My Father Horace Silver was moved to pay further tribute to his dad, not to mention connect with some of his roots. Silver's father was born in the island nation of Cape Verde (near West Africa) before emigrating to the United States, and that's the inspiration behind The Cape Verdean Blues

Music Matters 2017 reissue of the 1965 Blue Note Records release.

Ah, the fabulous Pooh Sticks - "Radio Ready" never fails to make me smile.

On vinyl...

Thanks to Debs, great album  

This is like a time machine

Looks very interesting Stevee, I'll give this one a spin on Tidal later.
