What are you streaming tonight?

Tord Gustavsen Trio "Changing Places"

streaming from my library

@ghjuvanni .. I've also discovered a boatload of new (to me) music thanks to threads like this one. Cheers and good listening!

@melvinjames 

As a user of Qobuz for over a year now, I listen to music not known to me before 80% of the time.  And I hardly listen to any of my about 2,000 CDs anymore.  A lot of great music on ECM (of course), but also on ACT.

Pretty much everything by Marcin Wasilewski (and company),
anything by Michael  Wollny, Bugge Wesseltoft (incl. Rymden), Michel Benita

i agree with you both!  When I sold my records and leaned into streaming, I noticed two things:

1- I spent more time listening to music, instead of searching, buying, cleaning, inputting, etc, and

2- I listened to more music outside of my usual genres, e.g. I’ve been finding lots of Norwegian and Icelandic music that I’ve loved, as well as some Brazilian and Jazz stuff I haven’t heard in years.  

Mathias Duplessy & the Violins of the World - Brothers of String.  Really interesting fusion of Eastern and Western folk traditions, and beautifully recorded to boot.

Thanks to Radio Paradise for introducing me to this!

ZM,

If you like interesting fusions of Eastern and Western music, listen to Ibrahim Maalouf - 40 Melodies.   A Lebanese musician who studied in Paris and plays a mean trumpet.
