What are you listening to Part the Third

[en480c4]

Forcing myself to take a break from Preacher's Daughter... Which I may or may not have listened to an unhealthy amount over the last month.

 

MØL - Jord

[TMoney]

Sometimes I just feel like a little country and western.

Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs

[jose]

Andy Summers. Retrospective. 

I remember seeing him live about 15 years ago (Antonio was beginning to pervert me at that time 😁). He didn't leave me very impressed... and he didn't play a single song by The Police.

I'll be honest, I hadn't seen anything.  But after you posted I went and looked... Heartbreaking.  

If anyone's interested, this was a very good article/interview.

^^ I can enjoy some non-Dio Rainbow.

For You Alone
Håkon Kornstad
2021

Example:

 

This was had to classify for me. Traditional songs (jazz) with a classical singer. Regardless, I really enjoyed it. 

[Dusty Chalk]

New Oceans of Slumber album today is freakin' LIT.  I really love it.
Fruit Town by Standards is pure, unadulterated old school mathrock.  I really love it.  Really joyful.
That's all I got from today.

I really want to like this, but I can't listen to anything Steve Albini records.

edit: I'll add that I like what SA has to say, I just don't like how he records.

Nice, no? Probably one of my most times listened to albums this year. 

[mikeymad]

I thought it was excellent. Actually, thought of you when I posted.  It will go into rotation.

^^^ That song and In The City are my two favorites of his.....(especially when the latter was used in The Warriors)

So... 

The Warriors Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

The rest of the soundtrack is very '79

Have been listening to a bunch of Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil and highly recommend it.

Pretty Album

Love Is Here To Stay
Tony Bennett, Diana Krall
2018

https://album.link/i/1417536790

Example:

I am usually not the biggest fan of these types of albums (and this is not really an exception), roll out an old crony and croak through some standards. 

While I probably will not listen to the album again, I might play a few tracks (like above) now and then. One thing that these types of sessions bring out, is some of the best recording engineering. This album sounds Amazing (not with the YT compression), Diana's playing is great, super detail for the instruments and voices. Some future system sound checks tracks.

Warm day? not much fits the bill better than Cuban.

Chick Corea & Hiromi, Duet -- my favourite living pianist (Hiromi) and one of my favourite composer/pianists whose chosen genre is jazz...mostly (Corea).  (swoon)

Hit like before even listening. I mean, Hiromi & Chick Corea 🤩

Exactly.  FYI, that video was literally my introduction to Hiromi.  I saw someone was playing with Chick Corea, so I watched it for Chick Corea, and ... she really holds her own!  They communicate with their faces, she has her own style, is confident enough to come across as a duet partner/peer/equal, and has such joy that it's just effusive.  Instant fan.

Dusty the Chalkman said it was good. I agree. I like these guys quite a bit.
