mikeymad Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Body Heat by Quincy Jones (1974) https://album.link/i/1443141710 Example: Bernard Purdie's voice is so sweet on this track. Discovering Quincy's transition from the Jazz side to the soul side. Of course he did it very well. Sad that it was his passing the was the spark for my discoveries, but happy to be here regardless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted November 9 Report Share Posted November 9 Breathing Space by Hackberry (2023) https://album.link/i/1667406320 Example: New to me, a new band out of the Netherlands. Prog rock - but instrumental only. Liked the grooves, liked the solos, liked the transitions. All good.. (4 songs = 50 min) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 Duets by Kevin Eubanks & Stanley Jordan (2015) https://album.link/i/960015276 Example: I lost track of Stanly in the 90's he stopped for about 12 years or so, and I didn't pickup that he started again in the 2000's. Anyway my friend let me know that he listened to the "Friends" album (2011). Which I will get to, but I was more interested in this colab first. I really liked this mellow album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 Complete Concerto Recordings by Martha Argerich & Claudio Abbado (2015 box set) https://album.link/i/1452345247 Example - No way to pic a sample - so here is the ad: Just under 5 hours - includes: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26 (Sergei Prokofiev) Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 (Maurice Ravel) Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 (Frédéric Chopin) Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-Flat Major, S. 124 (Franz Liszt) Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 (Maurice Ravel) Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23, TH 55 (Pyotr Illitch Tchaïkovski) Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37 (Ludwig van Beethoven) Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K. 503 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) I am not sure how many would rank at the top of my lists for these works, but all would be very high. The recordings from 1967,1968 are really fun. And I of course have to not spend my time listening to the mixing and mastering differences from DG over the decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted Friday at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:00 PM Linkin Park - From Zero Bringing on Emily Armstrong is the best thing these guys have done in a long time, IMO. I very much enjoyed her contributions here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light (Live) I'm not a fan of Joni, I'm sorry. She has a beautiful voice, her compositions are very original and personal, and I'm sure she deserves the recognition and following she earned, but for some reason she doesn't speak to me. However this album is something else. Still feels a bit like pretentious music to me, but that band... OMG!! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted Monday at 09:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:18 PM Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Sr. Neville Marriner, Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields (1969) https://album.link/i/1440760209 Example: Classic version of a classic. I tend to forget Vivaldi lived during the baroque period with Bach. I think mainly that I hear too many modern recordings that change it too much. But getting back to this 1969 Sr Neville and the Academy, it sounds right, and sounds baroque. It works well when it looks like this outside. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted yesterday at 06:30 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:30 PM (edited) Trifonov taking on American music, classical, jazz, moderism, etc. The talent is obvious, decent sound quality. As you'd expect with the variety of genres, listening to the album straight through can feel clunky.
