What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

It is a bit like the virtual equivalent of getting your c*ck out, I’m sure its a fine example but once you’ve seen it…

And my days of zooming are long past

Ok, note to self, it was cheap for a reason, hires stream from Qobuz is infinitely better.

Now playing…

Jakob Bro - Uma Elmo

Jakob Bro (Guitar), Arve Henriksen (Trumpet, Piccolo Trumpet) and Jorge Rossy (Drums).

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this morning with this 2021 album from Jakob with Arve and Jorge and they are sounding sublime! …a lovely way to ease into the day after a bit of a sleep in. The gym did kick my arse yesterday…

Made a couple of cool charity shop finds today…

Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads (EX)

Henry ‘Red’ Allen - Feeling Good (VG(ish) :rofl:)

The Robbins sounds great - very well recorded and in really good condition
The Henry Red isn’t so good unfortunately. Good pick up of the trumpet but other elements are mixed a bit too low or badly recorded. Could be due to wear but I suspect it is due to recording technique

Whats the label? Not Now Music?

There cheap because they are dodgy public domain “grey market” releases along with so many others polluting the record market these days including Doxy, DOL, Waxtime, Jazztime etc etc
Generally speaking I often puzzle why some spend good money on a decent system then buy this crap as you just discovered. Stick it back in the bag and send it back for a refund would be my suggestion.

You just reminded me, I saw an episode of a travelogue last night with Gryff Rhys Jones in Winnipeg, a fact I didnt know is Winnipeg means Muddy Waters in the First Nation Peoples language…
I wonder if thats where McKinley Morganfield got the idea for the name?
