Agree. What's with this new found happiness? What happened to sharing "I'm a rich little girl, a bitch, my life sucks, I wanna kill myself and want everyone to commit suicide, I hate the the effing world songs" ? Not good!
Daniil Trifonov - "Rachmaninov Variations" (2015) as seen on this thread, my thanks
......next up
Charlie Haden & Kenny Barron - Night and The City
Onward with the exploration of Charlie Haden, really enjoy his music.....
Gene Harris - Brotherhood
A very good CD by the Gene Harris quartet.
From allmusic.com
The Gene Harris Quartet was quite consistent in its many Concord recordings of the 1990s. The group on this disc (pianist Harris, guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Paul Humphrey) performs soulful and bluesy versions of such songs as "I Remember You," "The Brotherhood of Man," Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," and even "September Song." All of Harris' records from this era are easily recommended to fans of soul-jazz, soulful hard bop, and blues-oriented jazz.
On CD:-

Rolling Stones: Lonesome & Blue. FLAC 88.2 download from HighResAudio. This is now my third run through of this album, and its really very good indeed. A bit late to this album party but thoroughly enjoying it now!

OK, OK, this is a bit poppy but I don't care. Eddi always puts me in a good mood. So she gets two smiley faces.

Yep I agree it's a cracker and (no pun intended) arrived right out of the blue for me, the septuagenarians on great form.
A+3 | WAV
(1986)
Recently snaffled this 'previously loved' one from the Rain Forest. Yello remixing themselves and sounding mighty fine while doing so, great through headphones at the moment.
Elbow - "The Take Off And Landing Of Everything" (2014)
Alex Cornish - Hang On The Word
I cant remember who posted this one originally but it is rather good IMHO.
