Meldhau, Raitt


2 new albums that help make the audiophile life worthwhile: Brad Mehldau's "Ode", and Bonnie Raitt's "Slipstream". Brad sounds better than ever...nice cymbal tone and great balance on cool tunes, and Bonnie, well Bonnie is a national treasure at this point and even uses a fave of mine, Bill Frisell.

Yeah...I limit myself to mostly redbook CDs or lossless files into an upsampling DAC (or LPs), but both of these (only mentioned together because they arrived at about the same time) seem to have superior sonics, and music!
Although I am a great fan of Bonnie, I only bought this a year ago. Around the same time I downloaded her iTunes original album
iTunes Originals: Bonnie Raitt

Highly recommended! "I can't Make You Love Me" has to be my all time favorite Raitt song. Get it while you can.

Big fan of both artists - wolf_garcia

These discs are well-recorded/produced.

Happy Listening!

Bonnie Raitt is a national treasure, and I'm seeing Brad's trio this weekend (saw Brad do his "Bach with Improvisations" solo thing last year…one of the best left hands in jazz).
BM has (2) new releases out now. One in solo form, the other, in trio form.Happy Listening!
