Dwight Trible (Vocals), Matthew Halsall (Trumpet), Taz Modi (Piano), Gavin Barras (Bass), Jon Scott (Drums), Luke Flowers (Drums) and Rachel Gladwin (Harp).
Streaming on Qobuz… after listening to the last album with the two songs from Dwight I found this album and taking out for a spin for the first time. I enjoyed his voice and with Mathew and his band playing it is sounding sublime! Looking forward to the full album…
Harnoncourt/Chamber Orchestra of Europe - Beethoven Symphonies 4 & 7 - WAV CD rip
I love Harnoncourt’s readings of the Beethoven Symphonies, the fast tempi really work for me, and the COE play with fire and style. The 4th is a lovely work full of happiness, the 7th takes that up a notch. Samuel Beckett described it as “The dearest of the 9”, and that’s true for me. The intense rhythmic energy, the power, the darkness lifting to joy, all in all I find it uplifting and joyful.
My souvenir of Camber Sands goes back to the 70’s and an irate Father wanting to know what my intentions were after keeping his daughter out rather late one evening. Spooning in the moonlight on the sands didn’t seem an appropriate response.
Yes fine thanks Steve. How about you?
Yep all good, dodged the virus.
Now playing…
Dwight Trible - Mothership
Dwight Trible (Vocals), John B. Williams (Double Bass), Ramses Rodriguez (Drums), Maia (Harp), Derf Reklaw (Percussion), Carlos Niño (Hand Percussion), Mark De Clive-Lowe (Piano), Kamasi Washington (Tenor Saxophone) and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Viola).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this morning with Dwight’s ‘Mothership’ album while I start up today’s exercise routine. Enjoying his music, sounding mighty fine!
