Careful, someone will accuse you of liking the music based on the attractiveness of the artists picture on the cover...

 

edit: Also, good album choice!

[AudioDoctor]

I will be adding this to the collection.

 

Some good, mellow, smooth R&B

This is just pure fun, and great musicianship and singing, too. Have a party in your listening room!
 

 

 

 

Thanks for the playlist assist tonight guys! I have these two queued up.

[AudioDoctor]

Finishing this, will be adding this to my library as well.

Currently experimenting with a network music library versus local storage. Early impressions are good. This will likely influence the direction I take going forward with some resetting of my playback chain to move away from Roon even more.

I listened to this the other night, purchased it right after. Fantastic album.

Tonight is a blues kind of night...

I've been listening to the new 25th anniversary remaster of Buena Vista Social Club.

 

 

On first listen, this new version seems to have slightly better SQ than the DVDA 24/96 from 2000. Not a huge jump, but subtly better. The second disc of bonus tracks is mildly interesting.

 

I just finished listening to this, what a great album and the sound is fantastic! Will definitely be adding this to the collection tomorrow.

Nowhere unfortunately.

 

The loss of the Acoustic Sounds download store has actually taken a lot of really good stuff with it.

Qobuz has a version at 24/192 but I don't know which version.

edit: nevermind, meant for the HQP thread.

This is one of the albums I added to my collection because it was given to me by someone for my Bday and I don't want them to not see it there if they ever happen to be handed the iPad... That said, this is not my favorite album of hers. The best song on the album is her cover of Black Hole Sun. This album is quite jarring at times and Norah is not at her best. The band behind her is pretty good but at times it didn't sound like they were playing together. Perhaps they were trying for too modern of a modern jazz sound for me.

Next time you post an album like this, warn a brother about those drums coming in out of nowhere... I have a subwoofer and FELT them. They scared the crap out of for the 2 seconds or so it took me to figure out what was going on.

It *is* the Ensemble les Surprises, after all.

 

ha, I didn't notice that!  I was very surprised.

[AudioDoctor]

Tonight I went looking for new things to listen to and came across this, gave it a listen and liked it enough to add to my collection.

Thanks Jud, I found that on my own and was able to download it as well. Listening now.

@lamode Thank you for making me aware of this album. This is fantastic stuff. I can't imagine hearing this in 1977 and thinking, nah, this kid isn't going anywhere...

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

I highly recommend this album by Anna Fedorova playing Chopin. I listened to it on Qobuz and bought it at NativeDSD

Listened to this with my wife tonight.

Tonight was a 24/96 version of Tusk.

Great choice, just listened to it last night myself. Bought the complete box set. Some truly brilliant stuff in this album. 

 

I am a little partial to the live version of Tusk performed with some second rate marching band from USC...  ;-)
