And now onto Natalie Merchant
A huge favourite from 2016 and unique in being I think the only album that appeared in both mine and my son’s favourites for that year.
A frenetic, rollercoaster of an album with very cute lyrics and cuter guitar riffs. Although very much in the indie mould, it manages to straddle genres within that.
Now playing…
Jakob Bro - Streams
Jakob Bro (Guitar), Thomas Morgan (Double Bass) and Joey Baron (Drums).
Streaming on NAS… taking Jakob and friends out for another spin, and still sounding mighty sweet!
earlier
and now
Diana Ross - Blue, essentially an album of leftovers from the “Lady Sings The Blues” sessions,but still a great album.
Damn - I knew I had missed out at least one key group and album from my Top 20 list, and “Feats don’t fail me now” is it!
Ella Fitzgerald - Get Happy!
Just finishing…
Joe Lovano - Trio Tapestry
Joe Lovano (Tenor Saxophone), Marilyn Crispell (Piano) and Carmen Castaldi (Drums).
Streamed on NAS… a recent purchase and finally took it out for a spin! Joe always sounds so sweet!
Might try that out. I love Marilyn Crispell too
Now playing…
Joe Lovano - Quarters - Live at the Village Vanguard Volume 2
Joe Lovano (tenor saxophone), Mulgrew Miller (piano), Christian McBride (bass), and Lewis Nash (drums, cymbal).
Streaming on NAS… Recorded on January 20th & 22nd 1995 and this quartet is sounding fantastic!
While the northern hemisphere sleep or wind down their Sunday, it’s back to work Monday morning in OZ.
Motivation for a boring Monday at the office.
Pete, enjoyed viewing your website, some great work, my favorite was 24 of 54 in the landscapes section. Do you title your work?
electronic compositions by Adams on Nonesuch…
Now playing…
Ketil Bjørnstad - A passion for John Donne
Ketil Bjørnstad (piano), Håkon Kornstad (tenor saxophone, flute, voice), Birger Mistereggen (percussion) and the Oslo Chamber Choir directed by Håkon Daniel Nystedt.
Streaming on NAS… I simply enjoy the work of Ketil and always a joy to give one of his albums a listen. ‘A passion for John Donne’ is sounding might sweet!
Nigel:
I suggest some discretion in your purchases … they are a superb band (I have all their albums) but they went through phases where their quality waxed and waned … IMO of course … listen before you buy if possible.
