June 16, 20233 yr The Extra Something (Live) Enrico Pieranunzi 2022 https://album.link/i/1610595183 Example: A nice set. On the jazzy side of Jazz. Really went with my evening.

The Apple Music Alcest Essentials playlist is a nice 22 song, 2 hr 42 min way to enjoy music across their catalog. I love Alcest. Enjoy. Check out Holy Fawn when you get a chance. Their latest album, Dimensional Bleed, is pure, unadulterated bliss. 9 hours ago, mikeymad said: this - from another thread - thx Ric. Nice. I love that album. If you like that sort of thing, also check out Alleycat by Nucleus. And if you want a rabbit hole to go down, check out T-Square and Casiopea.
June 16, 20233 yr ^^ very cool - I thought it might be outrageously priced. But it is not that bad out in the market, thanks DG for not making it too exclusive. I am not familiar that recording. But thanks to discogs and a little research there is a version of this on TIDAL that I can at least check out (not saying it will be anything like 180g release) the performance. And it starts me thinking of various DG recordings that I would like original source versions (hello Karajan).

That's the shoe on the other foot, me telling you about music you haven't heard about already. They were on a track grime Kælan Mikla from their latest that I loved, and I grabbed Spiritual Instinct. I remember liking it but never really circled back. I listened to Hvítir Sandra again and it made me dig deep. Needless to say, it grabbed me this time.

I do have Realms, which I like a lot, and Death Spells, which hadn’t clicked the same way. But I’ll remedy that ASAP.

June 21, 20233 yr Catching up a bit on the notables. I have of course been listening to music, but just not posting. So a few things I liked. All Your Life: A Tribute to the Beatles Al Di Meola 2013 https://album.link/i/1564096794 Example: So to answer the question, do we need another Beatles tribute album? AbsaFuckingLootly. When it is our Friend Al. It is more like you are just sitting down with him and he is just jamming and picking on some Beatles tunes. Which I guess he is. Very enjoyable. And not too many demands on the royal ear. The Dharma Wheel Howlin Rain 2021 https://album.link/i/1574474906 Example: Need some 70's rock in a modern package? Have I got a deal for you. New to me, and I want to explore. Pretty straight forward, other than some monster works that rock hard. LIVE Chick Corea Akoustic Band 2019 https://album.link/i/1548821481 Example: Not much to say - it is just so good. Just a killer set. Hodges: Front and Center, Vol. 1 Owen Broder 2022 https://album.link/i/1689273550 Example: New to me - but put together a really nice set. Ears and eyes open for me. Reckless Morgan Wade 2021 https://album.link/i/1578973602 Example: I first heard Morgan in December, and I was hooked on her voice. Well her first album backed that up. Strong vocals, and some powerful messages. There are a few more mainstream in there, but it was a rewarding album. Okay think that I am caught up. - Back to listening.

June 24, 20233 yr David Grissom liked my comment on Facebook, so I should probably listen to some of his music -- any recommendations?
June 24, 20233 yr https://album.link/i/464330321 Way Down Deep David Grissom 2011 Me: The Music of Wayne Shorter Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis 2020 https://album.link/i/1492163211 Example: A great celebration of Wayne with a full band.
June 24, 20233 yr New Standards Vol. 1 Terri Lyne Carrington 2022 https://album.link/i/1635218059 Example: Terri Lyne and crew putting down a set of great tracks. Collabing with a bunch of people and vocalists. It really wraps this up into a satisfying album, mixing instrumentals with songs. And a nice groove.
June 25, 20233 yr The Tourists (1979) Never available on Compact Disc. Yes, that's Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Edited June 25, 20233 yr by HiWire
June 26, 20233 yr Patricia Kopatchinskaja is one of my favourite contemporary violinists, I've listened to her live like 3 times in the last years, and always is fun and rewarding (which I can't say of Yuja Wang for instance). This album is available on most streaming services including qobuz, but Odesli must hate them.
June 26, 20233 yr Lovely NYT article on the "Dark Side of the Rainbow:" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/06/21/magazine/dark-side-of-the-rainbow-pink-floyd-wizard-of-oz.html Gonna watch it myself tonight. Thanks, YouTube!
