2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;

Bert I am a big Red Garland fan but haven't heard this particular album. Any good?
Musically it's ok, good but not great. Sound wise I am not so satisfied, even sometimes have the feeling the piano is out of tune....., so first try before buying....
Famous Starker/Dorati Dvorak's Cello Concerto.
This is a new Universal digital remaster pressed at the Optimal Media. Flat and quiet. I'm sure the original analogue pressing would sound better but in a pinch, this is not a bad alternative at less than 20 bucks.
A + 3 | WAV
Playing (ripped) CD 2 from yet another excellent Tangerine Tree recording. This Brussels concert was very enjoyable and captures what TD did best during their early touring years. The energy and immediacy of their play far more evident than the studio albums.

On vinyl...
Good to see someone else playing Editors.

The Live CD on the deluxe version of this is really good too.
Paul Simon, Still Crazy After All These Years (!975). On CD from 2005. While I prefer the original vinyl, this CD has a couple of extra demo tracks that are a lot of fun to hear.
I started listening to this on the way into work this morning and will finish it off tonight when i get home (as i've stupidly not transferred it onto my Sony Walkman yet). I must explore some of his other work as i'm really enjoying this recent purchase.
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
Listening to this one again. Just superb. So much so that i've gone and purchased her previous albums
Sarah Jarosz - Build Me Up From Bones.
Two-CD boot, released in 1994, of a show at the LA Sports Arena on 26th April 1975. A very good audience recording, for the time (though not as good as the ones Mike Millard made at the same venue at the same time, such as Cruel But Fair). Note the anachronistic cover - the shot of Dave was taken on the '77 tour.
Ozawa/Chicago...great "Rite"!
On CD:-
Great mixture of jazz and pop.
Béla Bartók (1881-1945) | György Kurtág (b1926 - ) | György Sándor Ligeti (1923-2006)
Armida Quartett: Johanna Staemmler (violin) | Peter-Philipp Staemmler (cello) | Martin Funda (violin) | Teresa Schwamm (viola)
Nothing like some wonderful Bartók and 20th century string quartet to get your blood curdling in the morning and to test your sanity.
272 giving real insight into the basement. The Hatpin 4X eeking out a little more of everything.
