Album of the Evening

[REShaman]

LOL .. well, I find your taste impeccable! In fact, it was your "Memphis" post which reminded me I haven't listened to Boz in a while. I intend on purchasing "Memphis" and "Charlie Parker with Strings" .. this thread is costing me a fortune.

 

If you have a few dollars more (Clint) Melvin,

 

Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis:Two Men With The Blues XLD conversion redbook CD to AIFF. Excellent SQ, arrangements and anything else that may matter to one : >}

 

Enjoying the music,

Richard

I like this kind of cross-fertilization, which shows you the roots of rock-'n'-roll. Here's another, "Rhythm, Country and Blues." Aaron Neville will put chills down your spine on "I Fall to Pieces." Lyle Lovett and Al Green on Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" are great, too.

Trombone Shorty. And thanks to everyone for reminding me about music I've forgotten and introducing me to new music as well.

TS is one of my relatively new discoveries. Great fun of the upbeat kind. You may find similar reward with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band

This one just arrived in the mail:

 

 

First time in a long while to have time to listen to a whole album start to finish.

Nice soundtrack from the new movie

 

[REShaman]

OLE Bull, Annar Follesø & Norwegian Radio Orchestra: OLE BULL Violin Concertos 2L DL DSD 128. Excellent SQ and performances. Highly recommended.

 

Rhythm Blues and Country, Vince Gill and various artists: XLD conversion redbook CD to AIFF. Recommended by Jud. Clever pairing of super artists singing super songs with average SQ, but so entertaining I stopped caring about the SQ (sorta, maybe) ; >}

Enjoying the music.

 

Nashville meets Memphis! This recording contains duets by the stars of R&B and country, including Vince Gill and Gladys Knight, Al Green and Lyle Lovett, Aaron Neville and Trisha Yearwood, Little Richard and Tanya Tucker, Clint Black and the Pointer Sisters and Natalie Cole and Reba McEntire and more.

David Bromberg and Angel Band

Live at the Philadelphia Folk Festival

8/16/07

 

24/96 download from HDtracks.com

https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD810514010958

 

Killer live set from Bromberg and his quartet, plus his wife Nancy Josephson's vocal trio, Angel Band, featuring the incredibly hot Kathleen Weber. Bromberg must be seen live to be appreciated, and this recording captures the ambiance and performance very well. Sound quality is excellent.

The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East

A very musical week-end:

JS Bach's John Passion by the Dunedin Consort in 24/192. Really beautiful (if sad obviously) and extremely well recorded. I don't understand at all why it got slated by the French music magazine Classica this month. Well, one fact which I hope is unrelated is that I have not seen ads for Linn records in Classica in a long time.

Wagner, Die Walküre, G. Solti, in 24/48 from HDtracks

Mark Knopfler, Sailing to Philadelphia, DVD-A

Roberto Gerhard, The Plague, by Antal Dorati and the Washington DC National Symphony Orchestra. Emotionally tough but very good music, extremely well recorded. I found the scene with the death of the young boy very disturbing, but I have to say that this is extremely effective melodrama.

 

 

Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Analogue Productions SACD. The sound quality is very good, especially the drums which are much better defined than in the Sony-Columbia SACD. The bass is a bit tighter on the Sony-Columbia SACD though. Overall, on balance, I prefer the Analogue Productions SACD.

PIL - Metal Box

 

Post-punk Masterpiece!

The Allman Brother's Band: Eat A Peach. MFSL conversion Hybrid SACD to AIFF. Superb! All the comments from those who have praised this issue, I concur.

Thank you.

 

John Coltrane: My Favorite Things. HDtracks DL 192/24 AIFF. One of my favorite things since I was a kid. Don't ask how long ago I was a kid (presently still a kid when it comes to the wonderment contemplating genius).

Enjoying the music, sometimes we a tear in my eye, for all the genius' gone

This is probably my favorite Coltrane album, even before A Love Supreme.

 

Back to topic:

 

Reis/Demuth/Wiltgen [24/44 Qobuz]

 

Like Shai Maestro from the same label, in very high rotation right now.

 

 

Followed by my first high-res download ever (feels like ages ago, but has only been a year):

Love this record. Haven't heard yet the hires HDtracks edition. My Coltrane top 3 goes to: A Love Supreme, Ole Coltrane and Blue Train (I can change that Top3 from day to day ;-)

Cat Power- Moon Pix

 

My favourite of Chan's career... Dirty Three (Australian band) members played in it.

 

(Last year's Sun was truly disappointing)
