Vinyl. Duke, Satch, Barney Bigard (clarinet), Mort Herbert (bass), Trummy Young (trombone), Danny Barcelona (drums). It don’t get much better than this.
What a coincidence, I had no idea it was her birthday today and this morning I ordered this to go with the I Never Loved A Man… LP I bought last week
Happy Earthday, nuff R-E-S-P-E-C-T
RIP Aretha
Now playing…
Tom McClung - Burning Bright
Tom McClung (Piano), Mátyás Szandai (Bass) and Mourad Benhammou (Drums).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… taking this album from Tom McClung out for a second spin and it is sounding mighty fine! another one of those albums where a mention is made by another member and it turns out to be a beautiful discovery, another mention of thanks to @PatM for his recommendation over in the jazz thread…
Continuing my ‘60’s live album listening session with one of my favourites from the Airplane. Great sq and again can only imagine what it must have been like to see them at their peak!
Woodface. CD. I prefer this to their Greatest Hits. Very Lennon/Beatles in places and a bit of Squeeze. Not only good songs but it sounds great. Saw them years ago at Aston Villa Leisure Centre. Good memories.
Shirley King - Blues for a King
B.B.‘s daughter supported by a host of blues stars. Great singing great blues album.
Better Oblivion Community Center – Better Oblivion Community Center
CD|2019
Band headlined by Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst.
Scrolling through the new releases on Qobuz and somewhere towards the end I came across this for some reason I decided to give it a go.
The Bandcamp write up starts with this…
For two decades, MONO have defined and refined a kind of orchestral rock that is as emotional as it is experimental. Their 10 studio albums over those 20 years have established MONO as what Pitchfork described as “one of the most distinctive bands of the 21st Century.” Meanwhile, their live concerts are typically more subdued in instrumentation – and more supercharged in volume and voltage. Rarely is there the opportunity to combine those two experiences. In their 20-year history as a band, MONO have presented no more than a half-dozen live concerts featuring the support of an orchestra. Such events are not only unusual – they are also unforgettable.
Methinks I’ll be looking into their back catalogue.
Intriguing enough for me to buy it on first listen
MONO Beyond The Past Live In London
Deciding what to play, after the footie, and the red spine on this album beckoned
Caro Emerald - Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Floor.
Not played this is ages. So Good.
Great album love both as solo artists as well.
We seem to have very similar tastes Pat.
