Whats on your turntable tonight?

Pat Metheny LP: Day Trip/Tokyo Day Trip Live. It's a 3-LP/2-CD behemoth I got on sale for $19.99. It's Metheny in a jazz trio setting, with bass monster Christian McBride and perfect-choice drummer Antonio Sanchez. These three present what one reviewer called a "telepathic virtuosity." The music is great, the musicianship is stunning, and the recording quality does both justice. It's the best jazz trio recording I have now and I'm looking forward to getting to know this music better, because it's stunningly good in every way.

Foreigner - MFSL

Berlin Philharmonic - Nutcracker (full ballet)

Steely Dan - Aja

Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill

Madeline Peyroux - Endless Love (MFSL)

The Police - Outlandous D'Amour (Japenese Pressing)

Widespread Panic - Dirty Side Down (sublime best of 2010).

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (v good, but I think just a bit over rated)

Girls - Album (excellent)

Peter Gabriel, "So," especially "Don't Give Up" and "Mercy Street"
Sade, "Promise," especially "War Of The Hearts" and "Is It A Crime"

All sounding great with the lights turned off. :-)

The Del Fuegos - Smoking In The Fields [BMG 9860-1-R]

$3 used, cleaned up real good, superb sonics.

Rebbi, that Sade album is one of my fav's as well.
