What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

Michel Petrucciani  -  Power of three

While testing arm and cart after moving system downstairs in a larger room.

Dinner Jazz Excursion radio through the NDS - perfect for Saturday lunchtime and for those times when I can't decide what to listen to.

I recommend this to anyone with a love for jazz.

A new purchase, on CD. Some ace stuff on here (see tracklist):

Glenn Gould / Leonard Bernstein.

• Beethoven: Piano concerto No. 3
• Bach: Keyboard concerto No. 1

Rainy day. Summer is leaving again.

Now Playing.......

Fred Simon - Remember the RIver

Something beautiful for the start of a three day weekend...... I downloaded this album recently and it is  wonderful.

   Yello - Touch.

   Why? 

   Well, on a sunny afternoon, such as this, I ought to be outside getting some exercise, but I'm actually inside, giving the old drum kit

   a  severe hammering to this, which is just as effective, and much more enjoyable than the recommended 10,000 steps per day.

Lee Morgan - Complete Blue Note recordings

Do you know if this is available anywhere ?

Thanks

Did anyone else see the BBC Proms last night, featuring Jools Holland's Big Band, in a Stax revue, with, among others, Steve Cropper, Booker T, Eddie Floyd, Sam Moore and William Bell?

If not, it's available for the next 29 days on BBC iPlayer ................ worth the licence fee alone. 

Now Playing......

Bill Evans - Affinity

Another recent hi-res download, some beautiful music on a beautiful Saturday morning!

John Mellencamp - Sad Clowns & Hillbillies.

Bit mixed but some decent tracks and JM's gruff voice is beautifully complemented by Carlene Carter.

BTW, this was one of those imminent release 'heads up' alerts from Ewe I seem to remember, which I find very helpful in knowing what to look out for. And there is always Tidal to try before you buy.

Perfik way to sample new stuff!

7 sets on sale on Discogs. 4 cds set reissue.

Mighty Mo Rodgers - Blues Is My Wailin' Wall

Listening to this for a second time and have realised it is a belter. Far from straight up blues with hints of soul and trance mixed in for good measure, this is infectious.

I can't remember who first posted this but great shout.

Just ordered on The River, for not much money at all, which is just as well, since this topic can empty the wallet very quickly. 

Great shout, nigelb.

  Malia / Boris Blank - Convergence.

  Still in a Yello(ish) frame of mind ........... still drumming ............ that's got to be my 10,000 steps done for today ......... phew!

Misc - Misc

Good modern jazz.

From their own website:

Jazz band Misc (formerly known as Trio Jérôme Beaulieu, and named Radio-Canada’s Breakthrough Jazz artist for 2013-2014) released their self-titled album on March 18th, 2016 via Bonsound.

The new album is the result of a true collaboration between the three musicians. In a more elaborate way than the two previous albums, they each contributed to the rythmic, melodic and harmonic arrangements to create an unique sound that sets this trio apart from the rest.

All three artists set the foundations of Misc during a residency at the Equivocal Manor in Burgundy (France). Pianist Jérôme Beaulieu, lover of the great outdoors, contributes majestic melodies to the project. Drummer William Côté adds a subtle, spirited rhythm while double bassist Philippe Leducbrings out the playfulness of each track.
