Listening to this one (Miles Davis - John Coltrane: the complete columbia recordings) via Tidal as it is not (yet) part of mij collection.

Jeroen 20 has now set me off on listening to MD / JC this evening

A miracle that I didn't hear this one so often at hifi shows, typical album for that...

An eccentric listening day...

Radio Paradise this morning, followed by (all FLAC from CD rips or Qobuz downloads):

The Beatles - Revolver (from the stereo box set)

Ryan Adams - Prisoner (so-so IMHO)

Beatrice Rana - Chopin Preludes & Sonata #2

Ana Popovic - Can You Stand The Heat? ( a nice slinky version of Robert Palmers Every Kind Of People)

Susanne Sundfor - The Silicone Veil (odd, distinctly odd)

Selections from Paul Simon - The Complete Albums Collection

Aoife O'Donovan - The Magic Hour

Leonard Cohen - Live In Dublin

Joseph Arthur - Our Shadows Will Remain

And finally, Tift Merrit - Another Country (a personal favourite)

'Night All,

Vlad

CD recorded in 1992, my copy from 2011.  The 4 interpreters forced me to give a spin to this album. I think Biondi was at his best by those days.
