Hi, I'm slowly but surely starting to listen to jazz these days.To give an idea of what I like so far, I've been playing it safe with almost exclusively late 50/60s recordings on Blue Note, Verve, and Columbia, mainly popular choices from the usual...
Hi All, So, Naim Label have signed ex-Linn artiste Barb Jungr. She recorded an amazing new album called 'The Men I Love: The American Songbook'. Its a masterpeice so we just had to work with her!We've got a free download of Barb performing the Jimmy...
Willie Mitchell who produced all those great Al Green, Ann Peebles disc has died. May he RIP.http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-...hell,0,7509000.story
Debussy won two medals for playing Chopin, and edited a complete edition of Chopin's music. Outside of this, I can find no direct linkage between them, although many feel Debussy is Chopin's successor. They both wrote sets of preludes and etudes.Does...
Has anyone purchased this vinyl/CD set?Gregg
Finally got around to Paul Lewis doing the Beethoven. Listened to the Op. 109/110/111.I just don't feel any magic. This one gets gifted today.
I finally came to terms with the age & condition of all my old Queen LP's. So I send a note to Santa & he kindly sent me the 2x disc Greatest Hits II. Normally I hate greatest hits, but this old release is well recommended by Queenites as the best of all the material in 1 package, it is all inclusive of Freddy unlike G.H.III which is post Freddy, so what the hell, I still keep the vinyl. Its a great pair of disc's - especially on the new CDX2 [Mucho ] But it does not have Bohemian Rhapsody -...
To only go for a pint on Saturday afternoons.To develop an affinity for Mozart, Schubert, and the Beethoven String Quartets.To get more serious about learning piano.To lose 20 more pounds.
After the great input I got from my 'recommend me some moody blues' thread, I thought I'd start another with bands in familiar with but don't necessarily own many albums of.As a result of this, I'll be taking my 60 year old father to a Moodies gig in...
I find for orchestral music right now, only Stravinsky's orchestra will do. His adaptation of the narrative form of ballet is fresh and inviting, a new sound that liberates the full potential of the orchestra for color, all done with an unerring sense...
Anyone off to see them this December?http://themcrookedvultures.com/
James Blunt - Back to BedlamDido's No Angel was second and Amy Winehouses's Back to Black was third. I have none of these records and don't suppose I ever will, which is yet further evidence of how far out of touch I am with the current scene. At...

At the O2, that is.Even for a seasoned Macca-watcher such as myself, it was often baffling.I mean, he did "Wonderful Xmas Time", a horrible clapalong "Obla Do Obla Da" AND "Mull Of Kintyre" (complete with full pipe band). But he followed the latter...
Hey Blues Dudes - has anyone bought the 200g pressing of this awesome album?Regards,Lindsay
In my LP days, I bought a lot of music so we would have a complete catalog of things. I would go out and find a copy of something, because it came up in something I was reading.Here comes Weill and Brecht. They were socially conscience German liberals...
I got a full score of Stravinsky's "Pulcinella" :-)
I currently own Fred Simon's 'Remember the River' on vinyl. Although the CD version sounds great, it sounds magical on vinyl. Will Naim issue his other albums, 'Dream House' and 'Since Forever' on vinyl?A respected member of the board and vinyl guru...
Let me start the ball rolling by suggesting ... A jazz trio comprising Fred Simon, Charlie Haden and Antonio Forcione recorded live at Ronny Scott's!
Doesn't have to be released this year - just one you loved playing and would recommend to all and sundry. This one I appreciated for its great momentum, and multi-layered percussion.
Hihas anyone brought the 71 cd box set containing every album from miles Davis work on columbia lable, was wondering what the sound was like and if anyone has had any issues with glue being present on the cd's from the cd slip cases?
Anyone bought this (especially interested to hear about the vinyl version) and if so what like?ThanksAndy
Hi there,I'am trying to buy CD's from Swiss band The Young Gods, for more than one year. I tried several (online) sources but always i got after a couple of months "Items are not avaible" on my request. I bought my naim kit for enjoying music but in...
