If you happen to have (or can find) an Oppo 103 or 105. Don’t try it with a 203 or a 205. It won’t work...

I know this is like saying “I read Playboy for the articles,” but I listened to this for the Gershwin! Still an outstanding recording.

I once actually did buy a  Playboy for the articles - the 1980 issue with the interview of John and Yoko....really.

And btw, no shame in listening to 1812.

A few gems from early ECM Records. The label's very first album from Mal Waldron, released on 1 January 1970. An atmospheric Marion Brown recording with a line-up of avant-garde stars, with large scale content somewhat reminiscent of the Art Ensemble of Chicago’s output of the same period. Perhaps Chick Corea's most free-form recording, in a trio with Dave Holland and Barry Altschul.

An amazing DSD download from Highresaudio.

 

 

FYI, here's my review of it: https://musicophilesblog.com/2021/01/12/keith-jarrett-standards-live/

Google the paintings that inspired each piece and decide for yourself how well the music is a match. Fun stuff from George Crumb (no, really)!

Pure, late night magic, I just love this album (SACD).

 

 

RP in Bimhuis, Amsterdam.

Another night, another version (16-44).

Right now is evening, right?

 

This is my favorite of this series, but all of them are pretty great.

More early ECM. Jan Garbarek's first ECM release. An interesting album by the American alto saxophonist Robin Kenyatta. And a very strong album by the Paul Bley trio with Gary Peacock and Barry Altschul, released on ECM in '71, but actually recorded in 1967.

Paul Blay is IMHO in general a very underrated musician.

A musical and audiophile gem. 24/192 from Highresaudio.
