Chick Corea: Rendezvous In New York

 

[TomDac]

I just been listing to some smooth and lovely tunes with the help of my wonderful ML system. I thought, some of those tunes with my friends here at the ML Club.

Procol Harum ~ A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Enya ~ Shepards Moon, Eva Cassidy ~ Eva By Heart, Fine Young Cannibals ~ The Raw And The Cooked, Cynthia Clawson ~ Immortal

That FYC disc is an all-time favorite of mine!!

Dire Straits ~ Brothers In Arms ~ 20th Anniversarry on SACD 5.1 SURROUND
A couple of weeks back.
Cherian suggested this album on XRCD.
Couldn't find it in that version.
Picked up the SACD version from Acoustic Sounds.:guitar:

James McMurtry ~ Too Long In The Wasteland

 

[Tj Bassi]

This is a great thread--and great fodder for what to look for at the local music shop during the week. I cant wait till next Sunday.

Although I've always considered myself 'well rounded' with regards to selection, I have never been disappointed listening to previously mentioned recordings in this post. Keep 'em coming....

Richard Rodgers "Victory at Sea" on RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra CD (1992). This is just some fantastically marshal music, and is just the sort of things to get you going on a lazy morning.

Anjani "Blue Alert" on Columbia/Sony/BMG (2006). Lush recording, with beautiful lyrics that show the hand of her collaborator on this project--Leonard Cohen. Piano is at times subtle and soothing, other times it is almost strident and demanding. Her voice is one of those perfectly angelic, effortless voices with just enough range to make your heart beat a little faster, but not so octave-bending as to be a challenge to believeability. The music is a zen-garden of simplicity on which her lyrics dance a sophisticated tango. If you dig female vocal jazz backed by small combos, get this.

The Flying Neutrinos "I'd Rather Be In New Orleans" on Artists Only Records (1999). Ingrid Lucia, the front-singer for this jazz/swing/blues group, has a voice that is hard to describe. Part Berlin Cabaret, part New Orleans Madame, part Big Band Orchestra, she's smooth as good bourbon, soft and sweet as a mama's Sunday Morning french toast, authoritative, gruff, and sexy as hell--all at the same time. And the combo that backs her provides an equally complex, but somehow straight-forward canvas upon which she paints her distinctinctive sonic portraits. Laid-back, up-beat (but never frenetic like some Swing can be) and even fun and bouncy, this album practically smells like Bourbon Street on a Sunday morning--sweet, magickal, and maybe a little bit sweaty...

Blind Boys of Alabama-Higher Ground

Great gospel, blues and pop. I would describe one track on this as
The 23rd Psalm meets the Funkadelics. Great vocals and harmony through out.

Robin,
I noticed during the week your last Sunday post had Eve Cassidy on it. The name sounded familiar so I went through some CDs that some one had given by wife a few years ago and her -Imagine -CD was in there. So I decided to take a listen.

What a wonderful voice and versatile singer. Her musical interpretation will keep you listening over and over. I moved it into a group of music that gets played more often than others.

Her passing is a tragic loss for the world.

Thanks to you and others for posting music that many of us might never run across.

The Wonderful ~ Eva Cassidy...

Brad,

Thank you for the kind words. I just love Eva Cassidy as well. She was soooo great. The Biography about her by her family and friends is terriffic and I recommend it as well.




This Sunday I recommend a soft veriity:

Ani Difranco ~ Not A Pretty Girl

 

[Pcar928fan]

Dave Cleveland "Within Reach". Nice CD...this guy is one HECK of a guitar player. It is acoustic with a band, no vocals. Very nice...I really like it through the Prodigy.

Also listened to "The Planets" by Gustav Holst as performed by the LA Symphony Ochestra on Decca 180g record as recommended by risabet. VERY NICE! I A/Bed that to my CBS CD of the same as performed by the French Symphony Orchestra. It was very interesting. My personal view was this is the best Vinyl that I own and it sounded AWESOME. It seems like it had a blacker background for the music to emerge from vs. the CD. It is HIGHLY stereophonic. The two mics must have been placed VERY NEAR the players, where the CD had the mics further back as there is less differentiation. I preferred to listen to the CD from closer and the vinyl from further back.

Also got some CD's from STV and listened to some nice bluesy rock as well as some electronica takes on some well known classical pieces of music. In particular Wolf Hoffmann "Classical" and John Mayall & Friends "Along for the Ride" were quite enjoyable...

Hope you guys are having a great Sunday!
