Sonny Rollins - Live In Japan

Keren Ann - Keren Ann

Anjani - Blue Alert

Laverne Butler - A Foolish Thing To Do

[raptor]

I received the latest Patricia Barber album this week.

Nice album though not her best IMHO. My favourites are Cafe Blue on HDCD and Companion on XRCD. This one is RBCD but as usual recording quality is good.

[Soultone]

Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert

Neil, I think I'll have to seek that one out. You always have good taste with Jazz.

I've been listening to

Jazz at the Pawnshop (thanks Neil)

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

John Coltrane - Blue Train

and some of these new ones:

Carmen Lundy - Self Portrait

Great voice.

Yoshio Otomo Quartet - Moon ray (thanks Jake)

Fantastic sax

Yamamoto Trio - Autumn in Seattle

The piano and double bass are fantastic on this recording.

I'll second the recommendation on this one. Not complex music but very pleasant and relaxing. Thanks for the introduction to it Scuzzi.

I've got a few Carmen Lundy which I like, but I haven't really got in to her enough to recommend her.

G'day,

I saw that at the second-hand shop yesterday ... must go back and see if it is still available.

Hi Neil,

I think Self Portrait is better than "Old Devil Moon".

She is an acquired taste though. Strong voice.

I've got Old Devil Moon, Good Morning Kiss and Jazz And The New Songbook: Live At The Madrid. Self Portrait on XRCD is in my Elusive Disc wishlist as I feel I do not appreciate her as much as she warrants. I'm not sure exactly why but I will persevere:)

I'll consider her my audio equivalent of single malt scotch; difficult initially but eventually extremely rewarding:D

[raptor]

Over the last 6 months or so, I've been buying a number of female vocal albums on the MaxJazz label. The recording quality is good, and unlike some other "audiophile" labels so is the talent.

I can recommend:

Loving it!

After a big day out (no pun intended), with my son, playing sport from 8am until ~ 4pm+, I came home & played this:

Pharoah Sanders

Karma

And listened to it blaring with all doors open & on repeat whilst doing some vegie gardening for about 1 & 1/2hrs.

Now listening to some other stuff, which may get a mention in another thread.

Digitally remastered, using 20-BIT Super Mapping. I have this also on vinyl, but as I was outside I thought CD was the go. Original sessions produced (of course) by Bob Thiele.

Personnel including:

Pharoah Sanders: tenor sax

Leon Thomas: vocal & percussions

Lonnie Liston Smith Jr.: piano (a great artist in his own right check out some of his albums under his own name).

Richard Davis/Ron Carter: bass

Julius Watkins: French horn

James Spaulding: flute

Etc

The Creator Has A Master Plan - one of my all time fav jazz tracks!

[iRog]

First heard a track from this recently on DIGG Jazz and went 'wow!' I jumped on line to see what was currently playing and found it was 'Charles Lloyd - Rabo de Nube'. I hadnt heard of it but I bought a copy and went wow again - it's been a while since a new album has had that effect.

[hired goon]

G'day,

That's my favourite Shirley Horn album, closely followed by

Got this CD from the local second-hand emporium on Friday arvo. Noice.
