The other works with Nicolas Stocker have a different tone. I like it all, but prefered the solo works by Areni Agbabian more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 ^ indeed, they are better albums. Get Back (Rooftop Performance) The Beatles 2022 https://album.link/t/213891547 Example: Nice to just listen to the entire set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 This is one hell of a find, Ric. Thanks. Start to finish, exceptional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Fly From Here: Return Trip Yes 2011 https://album.link/i/1490150422 Example: 20th out of 23 (one is about to be released) studio album. I kind of dropped off Yes, (well, new Yes) about 10+ years ago. I guess I was more into the band line-up (this one does not have Jon Anderson) than I was just about the music. So, I gave this one a spin (click) and I really enjoyed it. I just took it for what is there. It starts out with a six part song (clip of it as example) that I really enjoyed. The rest of the album is a bit mixed, nothing bad, just ranges from really good to okay. I will try the other two newer albums at some point (2014 and 2021). It is not so much I am running towards them, I am not actively running away from them anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Russian Red - Fuerteventura. Similar in sound to several other light folk/pop artists, but something about her sets it apart and causes me to like her more than most.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 New Covet -- that first song is the most atypical Covet song I've ever heard (in a good, noise-rock way), but the rest of it is more like this, but with just as much variety: At first I kinda wished it was full of more surprises like that first song, but then I "got comfortable" -- this is truly my comfort music, so I'm (quite possibly for the first time) actually happy about not being as surprised as I started out wishing I was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Songbird Eva Cassidy 1998 https://album.link/i/306987130 Example: Songbird indeed. Perfect Sunday starter. Her arraignments and phrasing were really exceptional. Sad we only had her for 33 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 She was a huge talent capable of an emotional connection to the music that only a bunch of singers managed, to my taste, of course. I've listened over the weekend a couple of albums by a spanish jazz pianist whose music I didn't know, just his name. Pretty good I'd dare say: Abe Rábade - Ghu Project Vol.1 and Open Doors (Ghu Project Vol.2) Not extraordinary nor unique or ground breaking, but very enjoyable. They're on Qobuz too. It's funny that all streaming services, even Odesli, get wrong that Open Doors is Ghu Project Vol.2, not Vol.1 as they all wrongly display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) It sadly took Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru dying two weeks ago at 99 for her to show up on my radar. Listen to a short interview with her on the BBC, The Honky Tonk Nun. Edited April 10, 2023 by blessingx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 When We Leave Mathias Eick 2021 https://album.link/i/1581086524 Example: A really nice set. I am not sure I know Mathias before this. He has a pile of albums out there. I will have to explore and see what I like out of the batch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm321 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) First time hearing him. I'm a fan. He brings a fresh expressiveness that I haven't really heard in awhile. The album is the usual Bach mixed in with French contemporary composers. Edited April 14, 2023 by robm321 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 We Get Requests Oscar Peterson Trio 1964 https://album.link/i/1443078246 Example: You know, it is just required listening now and then. Still strikes me as one of the most beautiful jazz albums ever made. Just overhearing it for a few seconds compels me to cue up the album and 40 minutes later, I am happier than I started that time. Thx Oscar and friends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been away from jazz vocals for a while. I think I need a little more in my life. This did nicely. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
