I usually don't think of Barney Wilen as "funky", but wow.

Just listen to the first track:

Mr. Hutcherson's final release (2014). Yes, I'm enjoying the view!

George Frideric Handel

Coronation Anthems

Harry Christophers/The Sixteen

 

Amazing recording of glorious and thrilling music.  I'm on my second listen to this CD for today.  I think this is my favorite recorded performance of these magnificent works.

This is a Blue Note Records re-issue of Benny Golson‘s ‚Benny Golson and the Philadelphians‘. Compared to the original version that appeared at United Artists, the re-issue contains four bonus tracks, one of which is ‚Stablemates‘. Even though Benny Golson is not listed among the Blue Note artists, he kind of became a Blue Note leader 😀. It‘s a wonderful album!

Concord Jazz that's what I like

In searching for the best Rocky 3 on Qobuz we discovered a gem. Not the best SQ but what a performance! At first we thought too fast, but she sparkled so dazzlingly she totally swept us away!

Talking about Peter Gabriel on another thread ... this track, from a superb album, is truly a remarkable creation,

And another in the category of big, big sound; from an earlier era,

Scrolled back to see what vampire movie this was the soundtrack to and discovered it was nothing of the sort.  Everyone involved in compiling the image used for this cover should be ashamed.  That is some supermarket beauty magazine level reconstruction of his skin and hair. 

 

 

Quite good digitization of recordings from the mid to late 1930's.

Shame on me.. Bach-junk, cello-suite-addict... never heard the Casals-recording... some homework to do.. Now listening to

One of my first high res purchases ever, 24/96. Still a fanstasric recording, with really pretty decent SQ.

I enjoy remakes of albums done by unlikely artist.

 

Mary Fahl does Pink Floyd

This is from Red House Records.  Label promotes a good collection of Folk artist.  Most of Red House recordings resolve well in Two Channel audio.

 

If you liked Johnny Cash you will LOVE Greg Brown.

I saw Herbie Hancock live last night with his crack band including Vinnie Colaiuta, James Genus and Lionel Loueke.

I didn't know where to look. All four musicians were incredible and seemed to be having a great time.

Herbie is not playing it safe on this tour. An outstanding concert.
