Bad Religion's The Process of Belief. As they've influenced the LA Punk scene, so they've been influenced by it in turn (I hear a lot of the Offspring in there).

Madeleine Peyroux - "Dreamland" is excellent! Unfortunately, I only have it on CD. She came out with a new album last year. Again, unfortunately, last I checked, it is only available on CD. With the increasing popularity of vinyl, hopefully it will be re-release in black.

I'm not familiar with Kenny Barron. Though I did get a new (used) Kenny Burrel LP last night. I picked up about 25 new records last night.

Hi jjqiv,

Sorry but since English is not my first language, I misunderstood "spinning" for "CD spinning". I realize now my mistake !

I unfortunately don't know if the two recordings I mentioned ("Dreamland" and "Live at Bradley's") are available on LP. No matter what, I enjoy them a lot on CD. I have known Madeleine Peyroux's first album for a few years now but it is only recently that I discovered Kenny Barron.

If you like jazz in the classic bar version, all played by very good musicians (Kenny Barron on piano, Ray Drummond on double bass and Ben Riley on drums), you're in for a treat with "Live at Bradley's". Very soothing jazz !

Enjoy !

Right now I'm "spinning" some Tangerine Dream (Ricochet Part II from TD '70-'80) on my TT.

CD's spin! Just not in my ML system for now. I moved my DAC to my upstairs system. It was going unused for the most part.

Just currious what others were playing with good results. Writing reviews is just too much of a hassle.

Currently spinning: David Murray Big Band - Live at <<Sweet Basil>> Vol. 2

 

[garmtz]

Nicola Conte - Other Directions Vol. 1...

 

[DavidG]

Last night

Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins - 'Dig' (Vinyl)

Pink Martini 'Hang on Little Tomato' (CD)

Cheers,

David

Hi jjqiv,

I have to agree whith your assessment ! I much prefer to listen to music than listen and write about it !

Yesterday evening:

Miles Davis - Porgy and Bess (LP)
John Coltrane - Live at Birdland (LP)

Right now:

Beethoven - Symphonien Nos 7 & 8 (BPO - Abbado) on DVD-Audio

Desert Blues 2 - Rêves d'oasis

I received this afternoon the second volume of "Desert Blues" and have been listening twice to each CD. Well, the sequel is as good as the original volume !

If you want to listen to well-recorded African ballads, try it. You're in for a rewarding musical experience !
