Buddy Whittington - eponymous. All time fave track of mine is his cover of ZZ's ' Sure got cold after the rain fell'. Rare for a cover to best the original, especially when it's ZZ Top, but this surely does so for Guitar, Vocals and especially for sonics. Spine chiller.

 

 

Due to my tendency to re-post new discoveries on here that I rate, this surely has to make a reappearance. What a guitarist this guy is and a decent vocalist also.

Nice one, Kevin.

 

Buddy is support act for a John Mayall U.K tour starting in November, pretty extensive tour covering most of country. The Mayall band is a 3 piece which is unusual set up for the bluesbreakers, but gets great reviews showing the multi instrument talents of John Mayall.

As far as I know, R.E.M. haven't released an eponymous album. Have I missed one?

Bach - Goldberg variations

Listening to Angela Hewitt's 2015 recording of the Goldberg variations again. This is a remarkable performance. The way she articulates the voices is really impressive. As is the way she applies dynamics and how she uses staccato and legato.

Highly recommended for anybody that likes the Goldberg variations.

That's a good version. I can't decide whether I prefer Alexandre Tharoud's recent recording. They are just different, as is the recent Lars Vogt recording. Igor Levitt's recent recording is very dynamic and worth checking out - it's part of a triple album with Beethoven's Diabellis and Rszewski's The People United Will Never be Divided. Pierre Hantaï's recording on harpsichord is superb, and a nice contrast from the piano interpretations.

Nigel, Eponymous is a compilation album released by R.E.M. In 1988. Not a self titled album per se.

Ah, that's why I don't have it, as I have the original album. The Dead Letter Office odds and ends album is good though. 

What an Album , What a Voice ! 

Now playing......

Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring

Bill Evans (piano), Eddie Gomez (bass), and Eliot Zigmund (drums)

Wow! Into the fifth track of this album and this is lovely. A great way to start the day, highly recommend a listen.

Lorian Pellissier Quintet - Biches Bleus

Excellent modern jazz (hard bop). Bought this album today for 1,60 euro on Qobuz, an absolute steal imo.

From amazon:

'Biches Bleues' is the second album by the Florian Pellissier Quintet. Led by the pianist and composer Pellissier, who was a classmate of Robert Glasper in New York, and is one of the best kept secrets of French jazz.

The chemistry between these five musicians was already very apparent on their first album 'Le diable et son train', released in 2012, and which enjoyed a good reception from the public and media. It works even better on 'Biches Bleues', as the group evoke the classic hard bop and spiritual jazz sound but with a modern twist, on seven excellent original compositions by Florian, plus Jef Gilson's "Valse Pour Hélène" and Wayne Shorter's "Dance Cadaverous".

Personnel: Florian Pellissier (piano), Christophe Panzani (tenor and soprano saxophone), Yoann Loustalot (trumpet, flugelhorn), Yoni Zelnik (bass), David Georgelet (drums)

Yes, a bargain. The follow-up - Cap de bonne esperance - is also very good.

I am not familiar with the Lars Volgt recording. I'll check it out. Thanks for alerting me to him. Regards, Jeroen.
