What are you listening to right now #56

[poco a poco]

Wayne Shorter - 'Night Dreamer'. Vinyl, Music Matters 2x45 rpm reissue.
The Ensemble passages on this where everyone is letting loose is where the 45 scores over a 33. Pity that the title track is faded out just when they are all really getting going. Recording not a 45 issue.

 

[poco a poco]

Charles Lloyd - 'Manhatten Stories' with Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter & Pete La Roca. Live recordings from 1965 on CD.

Herbie Hancock, my namesake. Two CD boxsets. Blue Note up to 1969 then Columbia from 1972, a very large 34 CD box. The change to Columbia is fascinating. I bought the big Columbia box years ago and never really got on with it but it makes more sense having listened to the Blue Note box. Fascinating.

Steve Miller - Fly Line An Eagle. MoFi Original Master LP

 

[krenzler]

A masterpiece. Even if Final Fantasy means nothing to you, you may still enjoy this.

Raiding the less played shelves today and my fave re-find is Arcade Fire - Reflektor.

Can't believe this came out in 2013 - where did the time go?!

PSB - Hotspot - CD. (Plus instrumental versions).

Deciding where to put my signed print - the shame. lol

Creedence Clearwater - Green River. Craft/ Fantasy 180g vinyl, half speed master

 

[poco a poco]

Fela Kuti - ' Fela'. Vinyl from the Fela box set 4.

 

[poco a poco]

Some classic Rock for a change. Peter Frampton - 'Frampton Comes Alive'. Vinyl, original 1975 UK pressing. First time I have played since my system revamp (new cartridge & new speakers). Perhaps not the last word in Hi-Fidelity, but this does sound amazing and very atmospheric with the volume turned up to near rock concert levels.

If you have £4.99 to spend ?
These 18 tracks are so much fun.

Wow you had it a year before the rest of the world.
I’m impressed

Seth Lakeman, Kitty Jay, silver disk thingy, the odd combination of a local lad, some home brew cider, and a loaner Mojo is making it particularly enjoyable this even, now if only the bell ringers would pipe down in the quiet sections ... ffs, bell practice should be banned when I'm listening to music, so inconsiderate

Eric Dolphy - Other Aspects. Blue Note vinyl

This Hungry Life - Tanya Donnelly.
Sort of live, sort of Country. Have had a bit of a roller coaster with new listening rooms in the last 5 years and this has brought out the worst and the best. It has sounded appalling in some cases - and brilliant in others. Tonight is carved solid in the air and loving it. Anyway, good honest tunes well played.

I like to be ahead of the game, but only by 47 days not a year. I managed to quote the year of the recording not release.
