New album recommendations 2019

Thanks

any recommendation?

Well, I am no expert and my choice was compiled from some listening on Youtube and some checking of reviews. There were a couple with John Surman who I think is a fantastic musician, so I ordered those: Mountainscapes, In Pas(s)ing. Otherwise I went with reviews of Divine Love. Then Sound Suggestions which has excellent and wll known supporting musicians, although I haven’t heard George Adams. And I was going to buy the Bobo Stenson but after looking at some reviews I went for Serenity instead, although War Orphans is also supposed to be very good. Then there were some others I reluctantly cut from my basket!

Welsh harp, with saxophone, at it’s contemporary finest.

To be released tomorrow…

Dominic Miller (Guitar), Santiago Arias (Bandoneon), Mike Lindup (Keyboard), Nicolas Fiszman (Bass) and Manu Katché (Drums).

I pre-ordered this and look forward to its arrival…

One that I ordered and really enjoy is…

Eberhard Weber - The Following Morning

Eberhard Weber (Bass), Rainer Brüninghaus (Piano) and Members of Philharmonic Orchestra Oslo

I believe they are all available on TIDAL or Spotify if you have access to give a listen.

That sounds very interesting. I’ll give it a listen.

Tomorrow on Hyperion records…

Julia Jacklin ‘Crushing’. Amazing, amazing album. Beautiful voice, great lyrics and sounds great too. Highly recommended.

Recentely downloaded. The Britten concerto only is worth a dowload. If you fancy Britten you should listen to that one. The recording is amazing.

So far this year, these all sound excellent to my old, jaded ears:
Steve Gunn - The Unseen In Between
The Twilight Sad - It Won’t Be Like This All The Time
The Specials - Encore
Beirut - Gallipoli
Rustin Man - Drift Code

That Steve Gunn is excellent. Might even be his best yet!

Karen O and Danger Mouse ‘Prima Lux’ is very good. It has a similar vibe to Air’s ‘Moon Safari’ in places. Well worth a listen.
