Arve Henriksen - The Nature of Connections

Arve Henriksen (trumpet, piccolo trumpet, piano), Nils Økland (violin, Hardanger fiddle, Viola d´amore), Svante Henryson (cello), Gjermund Larsen (violin, Hardanger fiddle), Mats Eilertsen (double bass) and Audun Kleive (drums).

Streaming on Qobus (48/24)… taking out for a mid-afternoon spin and this sextet is sounding mighty sweet! It has been awhile between spins and it is a lovely album…

They were very good for what they were. Saw them live back in '79. Elliot Easton is a good guitarist.

More unopened vinyl I bought while waiting for a refurb of my receiver phono stage:

Inside Problems is great too. The blurb in Tidal states that it was recorded live in the studio.

A remastered hi-res version of Seal’s first album from 1991 released on Qobuz today. Played this to death in the 90’s - great stuff

‘Adam’ was 68 yesterday Twitter tells me and this album is 42 years old. Where does time go? I have never played the album before, honest. The drums are sounding mighty impressive though streaming the remastered version on Qobuz and so far our toes are tapping. :hugs:

Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

My third and last by the wonderful Emmylou this morning. This would probably make a fine demo record.
