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;
Lee Konitz & Michel Petrucciani - Toot Sweet
Beautiful jazz played by very gifted musicians.
Interesting new artist...
Need to listen again, so far interesting...
Footwork is the sub genre apparently, not my usual fare but some very interesting sounds in here.

(1980)
A bit of Bowie 'to cleanse the palate' his first studio album after the Berlin period.

That has been a very good find Bert.
1969 - Vinyl - US first pressing...
I've just spent about 40 minutes on the Okki Nokki (I can only cope with it in small doses!), cleaning this and the 'Blue' album. I think this might be the first album I ever purchased. It's been played on all sorts of record players and, despite some visible surface marks, it still plays remarkably well, with little noticeable noise.
I dreamt about this album the other night. Great memories.
(1976)
1992 - UK first pressing...
Both recent Melody Gardot albums (The Absence, which I like more and earlier today Currency Of Man)
Buddy De Franco - Borinquin
Good uptempo jazz by clarinetist Buddy DeFranco.
Allmusic.com:
Clarinetist Buddy DeFranco's young group in 1975 was pretty modern, consisting of pianist Ran Santisi, guitarist John Chiodini, bassist Mike Richmond and drummer Randy Jones. However the virtuosic clarinetist had no trouble keeping up with his sidemen and he really cooks on the rapid renditions of "But Not for Me" and "The Song Is You" while also faring well on the group's harmonically advanced originals. This European import gives listeners a good example of how DeFranco was advancing with the times without watering down his talents.
(2007)
This one is a great stomp through a few of the finest Who.
Something a little different but very enjoyable.

I still blame him for using banks of instantaneous strip lights on the 78 tour that damaged my eyesight but the 76 gigs at the Empire Pool were brilliant.
Lee Konitz - Frescalalto. Wow, this man never stops playing and man, does he move me. My dad was the same build year, and died peacefully a few years ago, and Lee is still teaching those youngsters some lessons. Sigh...
My fav Otis Rush album.
The original Montreaux album
Next up.
Continued with another one of Aaron...
Then moved to Henri Texier, a very recognizable and engaging sound...
