The quartet, electronics and Laurie's voice blend seamlessly. A fantastic album IMO!

I don't listen to free jazz that often but it's really hard not to appreciate this pianoless quartet featuring two saxophone giants - highly recommended for the fans of the genre! (24-192)

A very good big band album by an ex - Gil Evans assistent. CD-rip.

Mahler: Symphony No.6

Osmo Vanska/ Minnesota Orchestra

One of my favorite symphonies. Maybe even my No 1 ..well one. And a fantastic performance by Vanska/Minnesota.

 

BTW as for your new signature - +1 (many ones in this post, this wasn't intentional )

all you DSD junkies out there should get the native version

We surely will.. Thanks for yet another recommendtion and the review!

[sphinxsix]

After the evening in a nearby pub (they play some quite good classic rock there, listening to it while playing pool is quite ok, especially if you win ) time for a little more demanding material.

 

 

Which I actually enjoy exceptionally tonight. Probably patly due to the weather which has been very 'undutch' for the last couple of days - lots of sunshine and 26-28 °C(!).

Wishing everybody a fantastic Sunday!

Amazing Coltrane tribute ...

Will have to check it out. Don't know this one.

Talking Heads at IMO their best and most original. What would you call this music - a psychodelic funky new wave music based on African polyrhythms..?

Brian Eno' producing made it quite outstanding. Byrne's album with Eno, My Live In the Bush of Ghosts recorded at the same time was even more adventurous. 

I agree on that.

Wow this is crazy. I had an itch to post to this thread tonight and I’m listening to the same album I kicked the thread off with. 

Good to see you here Chris, I think I wasn't the only one to think you've become a REAL audiophile and you don't listen to the MUSIC anymore

BTW I believe that you are aware that the walls of your listening room still aren't straight..

Not a very original one, this evening. But imho one of the best albums I know.

 

 

 

I  agree with others,, doesn't have to be original :

'Penguin Guide to Jazz'

Truely a jazz bible! I regret one of the authors isn't with us anymore. I also regret that the late editions didn't include fusion albums. I have 2 paperback and 2 pdf editions, and can only recommend it to anybody who's building a serious jazz library. I also bought 'Penguin Guide to Classical' a year or so ago but I still don't feel I'm an expert on that topic so I won't judge its quality.

Enough about those old warhorses, time for something new ?: Miles Mosley, Uprising

I didn't know the guy, thx. Will check him out cause it's one of the funkiest double bass playing I've heard in a long time (and a real high energy solo at 3:00). I bet he's not half that good on his studio albums

 

[sphinxsix]

Something tells me I won't get many CA 'likes' for this one

 

 

[sphinxsix]

I rarely WATCH classical music. Hope this can be called 'album of the evening'  The sound is decent on my headphones. Very nice TV realisation. I've probably heard better versions of the 6th, enjoying this video a lot anyway.

I like Abbado's 6th, and I believe it makes sense forget comparing.

Especially if all your versions of the 6th are still 1500 km away.

There's a 24/192 remaster of this, do you have it? 

There are 24/...remasters of many Trane albums, do you have them?

(not mentioning SACDs, in particular great sounding Analogue Productions ones)

It downloaded without payment. I did something wrong? Will it be enough if I re-format my hd disk? Or, should I change my address and identity?

For some it's sex, drugs and rock and roll free of charge

I do not care about drugs and I am not sure I want free of charge sex and rock and roll. Thank you anyway.

I understand you prefer to pay for sex. That's ok with me although I got different preferences.

My God, I published my download link ...! Are they going to sue me and I'm going to end up in jail?

 

Please, if that happens, take me a lot of cigarettes ?

Wrong

I wasn't very serious. Again. I'm sorry, I should stop doing that.

[sphinxsix]

Some of you may not know this one. It's definitely worth checking out.

Some parts are really good, imho.

I agree.

Wiki: ' Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album is a studio album recorded by saxophonist John Coltrane for Impulse! Records that was first released in 2018.^[1] The recordings were made in 1963 during Coltrane's Classic Quartet period and were lost for decades.

On March 6, 1963, Coltrane and his Classic Quartet—including double bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones, and pianist McCoy Tyner—entered Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey and recorded a session that was lost for decades after its master tape was destroyed by Impulse Records to cut down on storage space. The seven tracks making up this album survived as a copy Coltrane gave to his wife.^[2][3] The standard issue of the album includes one recording of each track and expanded deluxe editions include multiple takes, including several of the title track from Impressions.

The source tape was formerly in the possession of Coltrane's first wife Juanita Naima.^[1] Van Gelder made a separate copy of Coltrane's sessions for the saxophonist to listen at home. After the Guernsey's auction house announced plans to sell Coltrane related artefacts in 2005, the record company intervened to prevent the sale of the tapes and acquired them.^[4] Coltrane's son Ravi and studio executive Ken Druker assembled the final album with liner notes written by Sonny Rollins.^[1]'

Rollins was quite emotional saying of the album: 'It’s like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid'.
