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

@Adam1 Adam, if you’re talking about Chet, then his other three albums from that period, In New York, Plays The Best of Lerner & Loewe and It Could Happen To You are all very good (they’re on Craft with superb SQ). There’s a new one coming out at the end of the month called Blue Room which is also excellent.

@Bobthebuilder is a huge Chet-nik, he should be able to give you some recommendations.

Brilliant, cheers, very much appreciated always known of but just not familiar with and this album is stunning.

Likewise @Bobthebuilder, anything you reckon is unmissable then gratefully received.

It turns out after 4 songs that I wasn’t in the mood for Souixsie after all… :joy:

Beautiful music and benchmark recording.

Jeff Beck - Flash, usually pop this on to hear “People Get Ready” with Rod on vocals, but decided to play from the start. Mostly produced by Nile Rodgers, poor Jeff sounds like a guest soloist on his own album.

I saw Jeff in concert around this time - he played People Get Ready. In true Jeff style never said a word until he got this song and he said “Rod’s let me down again like a pair of old braces” - whether that meant Rod was due to show up to sing it?

I would like to say it is my favorite but all of Patricia’s albums are top shelf. One very sweet album…
