What are you listening to right now # 46

[Seeker_UK]

How did I miss this?

A bit of Soft machine/Caravan, a bit of Mike Westbrook circa 'Love songs' a bit of psychedelia. It's blues and jazz too - but more in the Colosseum mould.

Some great covers of songs by Annette Peacock, Alan Hull, Laura Nyro, Carol King, Dylan - and a nice bit of Hammond playing.

The original Vertigo LP is a real belter. The cover of "I am the Walrus" is very good indeed. Their bassist, Mo Foster, is a phenomenally talented player and composer.

Liverpool band The Sums "Start at the finish", excellent new cd in a Zutons/Cook da Books kinda groove.

 

[TomF]

Pavarotti - Live in Barcelona on Sky Arts 2. Sound quality through the TV is awful, but nothing can take away from that voice.

(My cheeky 4yo won't go to sleep, so she's listening with me.)

I like Janine Jansen's playing a lot. I met her briefly at a Yellow Lounge classical club night a few years back. Sadly the live set up that night was notvery good. But I have her recent Bach album, plus her recording of Britten's violin concerto. In fact I have something of an obsession with this concerto, and Jansen's is one of the recordings I go back to. In my view the bar was set when Britten conducted Mark Lubotsky for the 1970 Decca recording. Jansen measures up well, with Tasmin Little under Ed Gardner a good choice also.

The Monochrome Set- 'Eligible Bachelors' (Optic Nerve LP)

Beautiful cream vinyl 180g reissue of this masterpiece sounding much quieter than the Cherry Red original.
