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;
Poor old man, he had an accident with a three bar fire,
But that's ok, he wasn't very happy anyway...
(1979)
Sometimes I just can't get out from continually listening to these boys, an affliction that goes back over forty five years. Deguello is another of their very well recorded earlier albums.
1986...
Keith Jarrett - Staircase
When you are cooking one of the relatives, you need to call...
CD. Chamber 26: W. A. Mozart - Oboe Quartet - Heinz Holliger, String Quartets - Lindsay String Quartet.
Superb
1975...
Peter Gabriel
Back To Front Live In Aberdeen - 24/96
- Electric
- So
Edward

Lovely stuff, drawing from some of their early albums.
Happy birthday, Ewe.
Hope you have a good one!
1988...
Streaming Qobuz. Cat Stevens - The Laughing Apple. Suggested by David O'Higgins in another thread.

Thanks Tony much appreciated.
Gregory Porter - Take Me to the Alley
Sumptuous, easy late-night tones.
Sounds quite interesting...
Paul Simon - Graceland
Mine is not the 25th Anniversary Edition, but has 4 bonus tracks and dated 1986, 2012. The SQ is amazing.
Plenty of dedicated threads

I would not mind having the vinyl as I have his Bridge Over Troubled Water LP with Art Garfunkel, which sounds amazing.
Illinois Jacquet - The Blues; That`s Me! From 1969. CD-rip.
Triggered by the Qobuz discount I had a look at what I have and what I don't have of her and I got to play this fine album of her...
Illinois Jacquet & His Big Band - Jacquet's Got It! CD-rip. Rec. 1987, rel. 1988.
For sunset:
Andrew Manze has been called "the Grappelli of the Baroque violin" because of the improvisatory liveliness of his approach. But he might with equal appropriateness be called the Rory Bremner of period playing, because he seems to be able to inhabit different musical personalities, and move between them with astonishing ease.
Streaming Tidal. Vienna Teng - Inland Territory
Streaming Qobuz. J. S. Bach - Claudio Arrau - Bach: Arrau Heritage.
