  • These can be a bit weird and challenging - however, the SQ on the recordings are rather very good !

    They're pretty good. I'll have to see what I can find on Qobuz.
    Talking about piano trios, I've been listening to this, this weekend:
    I prefer this earlier verison of Mehldau's trio, with Jorge Rossy on drums.

    Dave, if you do find it on Qobuz let me know how the YTube version compares to it will you?

    I couldn't find anything with the same cover, so at the moment, I'm assuming it's not there. I haven't looked for the track name, though.
    There are two bands called the Henrys, it seems. The one you posted from YT and a straightforward American rock band. So, having eliminated the rock band, I'm left with just one album from what appears to be the right band, the one with the cartoon creature on the cover and no lettering, called Shrug.
    It was only listened to while I was doing other stuff, so it could, just possibly, be from the wrong band, too.
  • After the confusion over the Henrys, how about one of the best albums I've found by Norwegian trumpeter and electronicist (now I've typed it, I'm not sure if it's a word, but you get my drift, no doubt) Arve Henriksen. There are a few tracks on YT:

    The album has many of the usual suspects.
    Personnel: Arve Henriksen: trumpet, piccolo trumpet, piano 
    Nils Økland: violin, Hardanger fiddle, viola d’amore 
    Svante Henryson: cello 
    Gjermund Larsen: violin, Hardanger fiddle 
    Mats Eilertsen: double bass 
    Audun Kleive: drums.

    This is great. It's just come out having been in the vaults for nearly three decades:
    Roy Hargrove's Crisol - Grand Terre
    AFAICS, there are only two tracks on YT, but it's on Qobuz in its entirety (and presumably all streaming services).

  • Bumped into this on Spotty...

    This is the first one I found on YT...



    The entire album on Spotty is worthwhile but the last 3 tracks particularly as they include harpsichord.

    I likes a bit of Harpsichord πŸ₯°

    Will check it out πŸ‘Œ
    Thanks.
  • I like a lot of Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Satriani etc...but this (for me) has just got me in awe & Wonder all over again 😍


  • Okay, same guitarist Guthrie Govan again. This is the extended version of another post I made a little while back.
    I'm not going to apologise in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM for it either.
    If you don't like this, then I'm afraid to say that you are utterly devoid of any Soul WHAT-SO-EVER !!  🀘😊


  • Stumbled upon this tonight...

    Curtis Mayfield. Now you're talking. My favourite soul singer bar none!

    When this started, I thought I wouldn't stay the course. Not my kind of thing. But after a few minutes, I really like it. I'll look for it on Qobuz.
    Again, I'm reminded not to make a snap judgement.
  • Here you go. Some Sun Ra (from Saturn, you know):
    Sun Ra - Disco 3000

    Enjoy!
  • Maybe just the title but it instantly reminded me of this...playing the album now.

    If I remember correctly, you're a big Lanegan fan.
    I'll give it a listen.
  • Yeah, you could say that. Quite a range of music from grunge to acoustic, band, collaborative and solo...but he deeed now.
  • Today I've been listening to Blue Haze by the Marcus Bunton Trio

    On Spotify (apparently on the other streaming services too.) 

    On Youtube the first track is here:  and the rest is split up for some reason.

    It's jazz, and quite nice to my ear. It's by a friend's son and he's 12, which I think elevates it to pretty bloody amazing. He did composition and piano. Definitely a talent to watch for in the future!

    Hopefully Mr @uglymusic will get something out of it at least :smile:

    I had forgotten he'd died.

    Amazing for 12!

    But not on Qobuz.

    I've been listening to this today as I've been working. It's really good.
    I've favourited it on Qobuz.

    You've just listened to one of them.

    My faves are the last two with his grunge band The Screaming Trees, namely Sweet Oblivion and Dust.

    Maybe not your thing though?

    Solo, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost.
    Collaboration with Isobel Campbell ( 1 of 3 ), Hawk.
    Collaboration with Duke Garwood, With Animals.
    With his later band, Phantom Radio.

    All IMHO, of course.

    OK. You are right. My least favourite were the two from The Screaming Trees. FWIW, I preferred Dust.

    Otherwise, I loved all of them. I'm going to play them again.
  • Back on the jazz thing, dude (and the rest of you :))
    Rob Brown Ensemble - Crown Trunk Root Funk
    It looks like pretty much all of the album is on YT as separate tracks.
    It has a fantastic line-up of New York players. Brown on alto (and other blowing things), my favourite pianist of the moment, Craig Taborn, William Parker on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums.
    If you listen in the right frame of mind, you can even hear the funk o:)
  • More jazz (it's that kind of day):
    Jon Irabagon - Foxy
    I love this album. And most of it seems to be available as separate tracks on YT.
    In case you're wondering, the cover and title are a pastiche of a 1950s Sonny Rollins album.

    One of my favourite musicians, singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan:
    The Best of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (one of many, many compilations)
    This one isn't on YT, as far as I can see, but here are 90 videos to be getting on with :) :o B)



  • Now what's not to like about a bit of CB's Turbo Killer...? πŸ€”
