What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Vinyl
Michel Camilo - Rendezvous.
This is in my opinion the best album of Michel Camilo. It's a jazz trio recording full of energy with Latin elements. Very enjoyable.
2016 - CD...
Kind of composed jazz, 1st run....
Ben Taylor, Naked.
A B&W SOS download that gets a regular play, this is a wonderful acoustic album.

(1973)
Not to be confused with volumes 2 or 3 of their other Live Dates albums whose covers look quite similar, this early one was recorded in June 1973 at Croydon Fairfield Halls, Reading University, Newcastle City Hall, and Portsmouth Guildhall.

Wow, I've not seen that in 40 years. I had it at school, sold it when I got into punk, and have never heard it since. A real blast from the past.
It's a piano jazz evening here.
Underrated album from 2009. Lyrics by Dylan and Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead lyricist and poet), plus one with Willie Dixon from a decade earlier. Good stuff!
Fancied a bit of French "impressionism". So this, on CD:
The Beatles, Revolver, because there are moments of true genius on this album and some stunningly good song writing. Track 1 is pretty topical at the moment too
2017 - CD...
Todays music some oldies but goldies.
Last one for today.
Vinyl
First and last one for me today.
This one is not included in the 22 disc box set. Still from the 'golden' period.

Jeroen - I only own one Michel Camilo album - One More Once, which I think is stonking. Not a trio in this case but a full blown big band but I suspect you have heard it. I will certainly give Rendezvous a listen.
