Starting the day with this

Great album - one on my list for later 
Edit - found it on my work Sony so it's getting a play now..
Enjoying this album. Bought after a recommendation on this very forum (apologies but forgotten who recommended it 
so thankyou...

This forum has made me discover Schubert symphonies. Listening to no.3.
Anais Mitchell - "The Brightness" (2007)
Angus & Julia Stone - "Down The Way" (2010)
A + 3 | 24 / 96 WAV
Stereo version from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) collection.

Mathias Eick - Midwest.
A jazz quintet, but not your typical one. It's consist of Trumpet (leader), Violin, Piano, Bass and Percussion. It's modern jazz with some country influences and the very nice ECM sound.

Nice to wheel this out again, one of my first naim label downloads back in the day.
"Acoustic-guitar meditations turn slowly into tranquil funk" -- The Guardian

-- Record Collector
"delivered with a cinematic sweep...a very impressive self-invention"

Super album isn't it? I have increasingly come to like his work, have you heard the live version? If not, its available on Tidal.
Great music the piano however doesn't sound completely perfect as happens more on these older recordings, while we do. also have some excellent sounding albums out of this period...
Chaconne: Edna Stern (piano) | Amandine Beyer (violin)
Johann Sebastian Bach | Johannes Brahms | Ferruccio Busoni | Rudolf Lutz
Chaconne x 4
This is a foot-tappingly good album. Great guitar, great bass, and Hammond organ too. Fantastically recorded and just very, very enjoyable.

It is - nice and mellow post dinner listen with a glass of Red. I'll investigate his live album - thanks Steve
Fink - Biscuits For Breakfast.
Been pushing this chap on the forum lately, so have a bash at this.
A more stripped down album than the others I've mentioned.
Available on that wunnerful Tidal thingy.
John Hiatt - "The Open Road" (2010)
