Turn Up The Quiet Diana Krall 2017 https://album.link/i/1440880927 Example: One of the few albums I didn't own by her. It is good, a little overshadowed in my head by the other great albums. But it will go into my Diana Rotation. Edit - I just noticed the mcintosh turntable mt10 on the table with her. Spinning some Ella and Duke Verve wax. No idea where the speakers are.

Debussy: Préludes du 2e Livre, La Mer (transc. Debussy) Alexander MelnikovOlga Pashchenko 2018 https://album.link/i/1612794541 Example:

Not boring at all. I have gone back and forth between Revolver and Rubber Soul over the years. I like the innovations in both with Rubber being the start of some and Revolver being the refinement of others. Midnight Ludovico Einaudi 2021 https://album.link/i/1561676390 Example: After seeing his Tiny Desk Concert, the other day I had to go back and listen to some of the other albums. This is one that I like, and I would use an extended version to relax to while I would work.

Yeah, a little waist of pixels if you smear them around like that.

Another good Hot Day Album: Gipsy Kings Gipsy Kings 1988 https://album.link/i/316136217 Goodness:

The Broadway Album Barbra Streisand 1985 https://album.link/i/190624052 Example: Not a great album (and the production is very 80s at times). But I can really appreciate her on a couple of tracks (the example being one of them).

The little orange light is on the Benchmark in the second one?

Got a 'Hot' day? - do a little Bossa Nova Big Band Bossa Nova Stan Getz 1962 https://album.link/i/1469584558 Its only 33 minutes long - so why not the entire album sample? (YouTube compression does not help the sound vs TIDAL)

Rocky Mountain Way Joe Walsh 1985 https://album.link/i/1484423747 80s Walsh is good Walsh:

(Click for huge) https://www.nasa.gov/webbfirstimages Today's pretty pictures. I am catching up on the astronomers that are digging into the data. Cool stuff.

I had this song in my head: So... high time I listen to the album. I posted it about a decade ago, it could not have been that long. Innervisions Stevie Wonder 1973 https://album.link/i/1440806790 Such a good album

The Blues Is Alive And Well Buddy Guy 2018 https://album.link/i/1385292932 Example:

Big Band Bossa Nova Quincy Jones 1962 https://album.link/i/1440871985 Example - There are a lot of great tracks on this Album - but for you Austin Powers fans:

JWST first release: "My God, It's Full of Stars"

A few more trips to Hell Sometimes all you need is two guitars' bass and drums: or:

^^ that is a vinyl that I need to dig out and spin. Added to Tidal queue as reminder - thanks.

Takin' It to the Streets The Doobie Brothers 1976 https://album.link/i/1111372373 Nothing on the album beats that title track for me - but there is this gem of a groove:

Catching up on Hellfest!

Very sorry Chris. Very hard on the family. Condolences to all... 😥

Cheers José! Happy Birthday...

Another Piano Day - only 21 tracks this time. Mozart & Contemporaries Víkingur Ólafsson 2021 https://album.link/i/1572873864 Example: A nice (hour and half) collection. Impeccable recording as always from DG.

Cheers Mr Birgir! -- Happy Birthdays!

BACH: The Art of Life (Encore Edition) Daniil Trifonov 2021 https://album.link/i/1607542634 Example: 58 tracks! That is a lot of Bach. And I am okay with that.
