  1. Words Fall Short by Joshua Redman (2025) https://album.link/jhxqg6xc93kz7 Example: Second Blue Note release, instrumental with the exception Gabrielle returns for the final track. This is going on the high rotation playlist. Playing with full confidence on this set, and they are playing tight together. Worthy Blue Note release, and the sonics match.
  2. Yesterday's listen's - and this morning. Tiny Things by Tiny Habits (2023) https://album.link/zhq9tcbphnd6p Example: More of an EP at just under 19 minutes. A good listen, they play a strong harmony game, and they play it well. It was not quite what I expected from the album cover, but rewarding on multiple listenings. and More Alfred... Schubert: Piano Quintet - "Trout" by Cleveland Quartet (1978) There are a few more in my queue, but you get the idea...
  3. This works too: ======================= CONCLUSION ======================= Ultimately, the question comes down to regime change in Iran [the USA]. Short of that, Iran [Trump] will renew its [his] quest for nuclear weapons [against citizens] -- though it will take years and still won't work. Achieving regime change in Iran [the USA] is a tall order, however. Frankly, it is beyond reach in military terms.
  4. Where It All Begins by The Allman Brothers Band (1994) https://album.link/mdpnmkzjtgzb7 Example: I am not sure I knew this existed, much less that it was really good. A great set of guitar forward tunes.
  5. ^^ good reminder that I liked that Album and need to add it to my queue again... thx
  6. This Here Is Bobby Timmons by Bobby Timmons (1960) https://album.link/7zrr3czbnmxkr Example: Can't we just relax and listen to more Bobby? Sad to think that he only made it to 38yo.
  7. Cheers! Happy birthday Kerry
  8. For Alfred - Alfred Brendel was a big part of my early classical journey. Readily available from Columbia House on sale, they had the Phillips and Decca recordings. And since I was in full exploration mode and he recorded things that many people didn't record, I ended up with a pile of his albums. Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1 by Alfred Brendel (1980) https://album.link/fxnrsg7pgznc8 Example: and Beethoven: Für Elise; Eroica Variations, Op.35; 6 Bagatelles Op.126; 6 Ecossaises by Alfred Brendel (1985) https://album.link/v4df2crd6cksf (boy this page pretty much didn't exist) Example: This is an example of recording something that most people don't. People play Für Elise, they use it as an encore, and the audience goes 'awe', but most performers don't recorded it. So like Murray Perahia, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Tilson Thomas, Vladimir Horowitz, he was a big influence.
  9. Gadabout Season by Brandee Younger (2025) https://album.link/psfqgzn0sqxzr Example: I listened to this the first time yesterday, and I was not sure about posting it. Just as an FYI I normally only post here if it is a recommendation of some sort. But once I reflected on this new album, I can see what is going on. I first listened to Brandee about three years ago with her Somewhere Different release. But this release did not really fit that same jazz mold. They have taken much more of a Andreas Vollenweider side to harp than the Jazz fusion mix they did before. So in that context, I like it. Its only real flaw is that it reminds me that I want to listen to some Andreas. I don't think that a great selling point for an album, is that it makes you want to listen to another album.
  10. Just a simple board for supper, Friday night's bread bake {not posted}, tapenade and roasted garlic, Matiz wide sardines in oil. Watch out! I kind of forgot how good Matiz sardines are. {oh and a simple WA blend sipper}
  11. Wait... Not everything that LTT reports on is accurate... I'm shock, Shocked I say...
  12. RIP Brian Wilson - 82
  13. Martha Argerich plays Beethoven - Conductor Ion Marin - ARTE Concert full of goodness.
