Jazz for aficionados
One of the guys in my music group told me about this last night. ECM has gone back to the original tapes and is reissuing the material that put them on the map. 180 gram vinyl albums, as CDs, and as high-resolution download files I ordered four 180 G LPs last night via Amazon where they are offered at discount and free two day shipping with Prime membership. I'll post opinion once I hear a couple of these but I expect the Keith Jarrett will absolutely make me happy. |
I don't know if Julie London has been mentioned in this thread or not. I mentioned her excellence in a thread I started a couple months ago and she only got a little love from few posters. The more I listen to her, the more I realize she is an uncrowned queen of ballads. So much beauty and perfection in her voice that it boggles my mind. "What Is This Thing Called Love?" "Blue Moon" "What's New?" "Willow Weep For Me" "Cry Me a River" "A Cottage For Sale" "Don't Worry Bout Me" "S'Wonderful" "Go Slow" "Doncha Go Away Mad" "Gone With the Wind" "You Do Something To Me" "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" "Laura" |
I find it absolutely astonishing how tastes change over the years. Mine have gone full circle, now I'm back to where I began with "Blue Note". Keith Jarret, Terje Rypdal, "Cadona", the group, John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Jan Gabarek, and Gary Burton, are just some of the musicians represented by my ECM phase as a music lover. I classify that phase and those musicians as quite introspective at that time. Pat Metheny and Chic Corea were also with ECM, they've changed, and so have I; especially Pat Metheny, I can't get enough of his outing with Anna Maria Jopek on "Upojenie". Not only is the music outstanding, but so is the recording quality. Enjoy the music. |
