Motor not turning now so a PSU or motor problem.
Would have been playing Who's Next, possibly followed by some Floyd

James Blunt

Back to Bedlam

Repeating track 2 intermitantly but actaully a very good ablum.

Good ol' Herbie Hancock - Cantaloupe Island

The 1962-1965 stuff on Blue Note. Not really an audiophile pearl, but - roarrr ! - does that swing !

Hi all, and…greetings from Down Under.

Usually I dedicate a week of listening to every one of my favorites. This time is Ron Carter’s turn and I have put aside a stack of CDs comprising:
· The Bass And I (Blue Note, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder)
· So What (Blue Note)
· When Skies Are Grey…(Blue Note, recording and mixing Jim Anderson)
· Stardust (Somethingelse, rec. and mixing Jim Anderson)
I listen mainly to Jazz music and I’m quite picky not about the performance but the sound quality as well.
I can recommend you all the above recordings. They are all closely micked and above all Jim and Rudy posses an exquisite taste in capturing the warm and athmosphere of such performances. They all will make your system (Naim or whatever) sound GREAT.

Happy listening,

George

Hi George, and welcome to the Naim forum (nice entry, the "Music Room"...)

If you have your "Ron Carter week", I'd like to recommend to add the more recent

Joel Xavier & Ron Carter - "in New York"

and

Rosa Passos & Ron Carter - "Entre Amigos"

to your pile.

Both are duet recordings of the finest sort, and show that Ron Carter hasn't just continued to do the things he's always been making. Excellent recordings, too. Both.

Unless you're into pre 70's recordings, only, of course...

cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for your recommendations! Indeed, “Entre Amigos” is on my short list. I have just purchased Tord Gustavsen’s second release: ”The Ground” It is magic; a bit more tempo than “Changing Places” though but, overall, a class act.

Best regards,

George

Right now?
M. Davis = Sorcerer
Prince = The Rainbow Children
H. Hancock = Trust
Oneness of JuJu

and for "easy listenings ":

David Holmes = Out of Sight O.S.T.
Common = the corner
Platinum Pied Pipers = Triple P
Jamiroquai = Dynamite
bye,

David

Just been listening to Paul Simon - Graceland.

Up next, Mahler 5, leonard Bernstein and the VPO (because there was an interesting piece on it in gramophone this month).


regards,

Tam

Just starting a Beginner's Guide to Africa a 3 CD set(Ebay purchase). Seems to have most of the African acts I have heard of and not heard.

Can't agree more, George. Tord Gustavsen was playing live in Mainz, yesterday evening (30 miles from where I live), but unfortunately, I couldn't go...

Now playing:

"My Funny Valentine" - Miles Davis in concert on Vinyl, recorded in 1964 w. George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter & Tony Williams. (Columbia)

Before that was listening to :

"Moonstruck" - Chris Jones. on CD in a 2 CD box with a much earlier session of his called "No looking back" Excellent acoustic guitars and bass against a pleasent voice.

I love that disc. Have you heard the recent Columbia box set (Seven steps, I think it's called), as that has the concert in its full, original running order.

Tam

Right now:
Iggy Pop-Lust For Life

Earlier:
The Wrens-The Meadowlands
North Mississippi Allstars-51 Phantom

Tam...to be honest I am an occasional Miles fan. I expect the box set is very good but a bit too much Davis in one go for me.

The Collection - Lynyrd Skynyrd simple man is one of my alltime faves.

Howard

Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day

Renee olstead -with the enormously creative title "Renee Olstead".
