Whats playing on your system today?

falconquest, 

I watched your Patricia Barber link for a again time. She sounds wonderful and a great recording, (for youtu.be). I don't have any of Patricia on CD but I do have a few Diana Krall. Female voices can reveal flaws in ones hi fi. Thanks for the recommendation.

ghost, 

Finally finished the Zappa you posted about. What else can be said about Zappa and the talent he attraced. He was a genius. It's not what I normally gravitate towards musically. Now on to Sugarcane. I replayed Keyzop, that is more my speed. 

Thanks for the enlightenment!

The Who, Who's Next. Quite possibly one of the best albumn covers by one of the 
Greatest band of all time.

Hey nutty - a couple of things. I appreciate the ongoing dialog here. On too many A’gon threads, it’s like people posting are just talking to themselves. No responses. No interaction. Like hollering down a well.

Glad you checked out that Zappa showcasing Sugar Cane. If you liked Keyzop, Sugar Cane’s Got The Blues would also please you, I think.

I’m not a huge Patricia Barber fan but the 2 CDs of hers I own are very well recorded. Great sound quality and some interesting music too. Good "side men" accompanying her. The 2 are: Cafe Blue & Modern Cool.

That YouTube link from falconquest is a bit of a revelation to me. Had no idea she was that good on piano. That performance is quite a bit different than the rather concise, more conventional song structures on the 2 CDs I own. The CDs focus on voice more than instrumental jazz solos. OK. Later.

PS - nutty - just saw your Spock's Beard "Healing Colors" link...have the Patricia Barber playing but will try that SB recommendation later.  

A few oldie tunes

Dion - Run Around Sue
