Mississippi John Hurt left behind a legacy unique in the annals of the blues, and not just in terms of music. A humble, hard-working man who never sought fame or fortune from his music, and who conducted his life in an honest and honorable manner, he also avoided the troubles that afflicted the lives of many of his more tragic fellow musicians. He was a pure musician, playing for himself and the smallest possible number of listeners, developing his guitar technique and singing style to please nobody but himself; and he suddenly found himself with a huge following, precisely because of his unique style. Unlike contemporaries such as Skip James, he felt no bitterness over his late-in-life mass success, and as a result continued to please and win over new listeners with his recordings until virtually the last weeks of his life. Nothing he ever recorded was less than inspired, and most of it was superb.(excerpt from his obituary)

Not a great jazz aficionado by any stretch of the imagination; listening to Keith Jarrett for the first time

There is so much great music by Jarrett, mostly his trio stuff is excellent if not a bit samey but qualityQuote:

He does do the mosquito murmur in the background which annoys some but I like it.
TBH I avoid anything with Jan Garbarek, although the darling of ECM, imho he's ruined so many potentially good
Recordings with that horrid cat like screech that passes out his of horn.
Interesting, thanks. I currently have on loan about 50 odd jazz albums, most of which are on the ECM label. I'm working my way through them; there are a fair number of Jan Garbarek titles amongst them - might now be inclined to leave them towards the end of the playlist [emoji846]Quote:

Lou Rawls: Black and Blue and Tobacco Road
I'm not sure where I got this CD from. It was in a small pile of CD's on my player, and I absolutely love it. It's the best new (to me) thing I've had on my system for a while. Love it.

Great album, and quite the group of musicians he pulled together for this one. Miles Davis really stands out - wonderful playing. And Adderley is sublime - soulful, playing from the heart.
good stuff.. the cannonball is a machine:)Quote:

I've been rather remiss recently in contributing to this thread (just been busy elsewhere). However, this morning, over my usual frothy cappuccino and croissant, I'm enjoying this beautiful collection of music:

Nicely chilled out, but also a little 'challenging' in parts :cool:

Don't know this at all Marco, i'll check it out. Flat White for me ..+ an extra shot.Quote:

Meanwhile, I've plucked this little gem from the dusty archives of my hard-drives:

The master of piano..Art Tatum
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a8681a0bfb.jpg
always say this... Astonishing!
Amazing. I just spun this up and was floored by the open wide sound so I looked deeper. This is a re-performance of the originals. Zenph Studios digitised the original recordings and then played it back via a solenoid driven Yamaha Grand. Zenph claim to be able to pick up from the original recording how exactly the keys were hit and released as well as Art's use of pedals. They also fixed a pitch error that was apparently evident on the source recording.
see: https://jazztimes.com/columns/cadenza/player-piano-man/
Now off to listen to some more stuff Zenph has done. For example Bach Goldberg Variations played by Glen Gould.
yup, ive got a peterson one too. his wife said it was immaculate to point she thought it was him thereQuote:

Listening to the Rachmaninoff currently which is lovely - lots of delicacy.
