2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
On original vinyl. Up suitably loud.
16/44.1 WAV. Love Suede and really like this
Easy on the ear, very easy on the eye. The lovely Jem. Shame she went down the dumper with the next album but this one is a lot of fun.
Jem - Finally Woken
Bill Evans trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Loving this. If you like your blues with some edge, then you might like to give this a whirl. As well as great vocals there is some superb guitar playing and harmonica blowing on this. Good choons too.
Cheers Ewe.
Glad you like it. They have been tearing up the Midwest for some years now. Try their Delmark label album you might like that as well.

Often compared with Dream Theater these London boys do good heavy prog rock 'n metal but have a different, more subtle and varied approach than DT.

Sorting out some external HDD's today and finding stuff I had forgotten I have.
Great blues album
Larry Young - Heaven on earth
From allmusic.com
Organist Larry Young, who really found his own sound back in 1965 with the classic Unity album, is deep in the funk on this later Blue Note album (which has been included in the Mosaic box set The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Larry Young). With altoist Byard Lancaster, tenor saxophonist Herbert Morgan, guitarist George Benson, and drummer Eddie Gladden completing the quintet, there are some explorative solos but the less imaginative funk rhythms lower the content of the music somewhat. Larry's wife Althea Young has an effective vocal on "My Funny Valentine," but overall this is a lesser effort.
On CD (Sadly only on the laptop through 'phones. Pretty sure it'll sound great through the Arivas)
Why? Work

Claude Debussy: Alessandra Ammara (piano)
Images - Book 1 | Preludes - Book 1 | Nocturne
Alessandra, when you are ready please give us the complete Debussy recordings. I've been in a Debussy mood as of late and so this disc gets spun regularly here.
Zaz - Recto Verso. (Streaming Limited Edition 2 CD set)
CD. It's a delight to listen to her.

Sarah Jarosz - Follow Me Down
Something new to me and another mention from JAMES N above and have placed 'Follow Me Down' in the queue. After reading her bio and review, I am looking forward to hearing this album.
again, a terrific recommendation from this forum that i am catching up with. I started with one, one rapidly became two and so on. In a heavy, dirty, funky vibe.
