Picked this one up today for £1 in charity shop, some great Latin Jazz and is very well recorded, sleeve notes say recorded direct to 2 track digital, i certainly has lots of detail and a live feel.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, album 1996:

I've been listening to this off-and-on for the past couple of weeks. Some sublime piano and violin playing on this album. Not normally my style, but this is so hypnotic and lovely that I just keep coming back to it.
Going to give this a spin tonight. Thanks for posting Svend.Quote:

Hi Svend, really liked the Ryuichi Nakamoto, I think it's a collection /compilation lp?Quote:

Glad you liked it Adam. I will be exploring more of his albums soon, so if another seems worthy of sharing here I will post again.
Thanks for the recommendation of Bugge and Henning. Not familiar with them...will have a listen later today. Should be a nice way to unwind after a busy week...glass of whiskey and some new music to check out. :)
Best,
Svend
got that to try yet...Quote:

I noticed on Spotify that it marked the songs as being Traditional -- I suppose that means these are adaptations of traditional folk melodies? I will have to check that out. Wonderful melodies. I will definitely give that another spin. Saved to my library :)Quote:

I have to say it's very very disappointing, to the point, I'm actually taking it back to where I got it, (it was a used purchase) I don't give up on many Lps, but this is IMHO pretty sub standard for such a creative talent. When 2 sides of the double lp are called 'Medley', i should have smelt a rat. Unearthed hidden gems are very rarely 'gems'
Avoid, there are so many brilliant Grant Green Lps in the cannon, this is not one of them!

Listening to this now at my desk. Very good! I like it :) Helps me focus, which is often a challenge. :scratch:Quote:

Tedeschi Trucks Band, Revelator. This won a Grammy for best blues album.
The band has a country blues rock sound which I really like. Their latest studio album is especially so:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...LetMeGetBy.jpg
This album won a Blues Award for Rock-Blues Album of the Year.
The lead singer, Susan Tedeschi, has a fantastic voice...sounds a lot like Bonnie Raitt to my ears. Lead guitar is her husband, Derek Trucks -- solid playing!
I gave this a good go this evening and really liked it.. different.Quote:

There is some great videos out there where he is jamming with BB king and John Mayer ( no slouch either ) and when Trucks plays, the looks on the faces of King and Trucks is just great.
Here is a taste of his soloing.

Hey, thanks Brian. I didn't know about those videos. I will check them out later...
And, yes, Trucks' playing is outstanding. Fluid, meaty, solid stuff. Between that and Tedeschi's singing (that voice!) -- quite the combination.
