What is spinning?

[Dave918]

A blues/rock mix to wake me up this am.

John Mayer Trio ~ Try!

This one just showed up in the mail yesterday. Not bad. John Mayer with Steve Jordan on drums and Pino Palladino on bass.

Good Morning Dave,

Late afternoon here and the fun begins with:

"Mink de Ville - Cabretta".

Peace

Bernd

Now spinning: NBC Symphony Orchestra--Toscanini. 1949 recording of an excellent performance.

[Bernd]

Going round at the start of a long weekend is:

"Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops".

My copy finally arrived today. Well worth the wait.

Peace

Bernd

[Dave918]

It's Larry Carlton ~ Sapphire Blue for me this am. Looks like rain headed in for the weekend. This is good news in that we are still more than 12 inches below normal. Dry as a bone, it is.

It's the start of a long weekend over here as well, and easing into a second round of morning coffee with David Gilmour's On An Island seems like the right thing to do.
Hey Bernd, is Amy Allison's new release limited in some way, or perhaps only available on yer side of the pond? I'm having trouble finding it

[Slosh]

I'm 'previewing' Just Like The Fambly Cat at the moment. So Grandaddy called it quits and then releases a new album. My initial impression is this is not something they put out just from contract obligations.

I can hook up a ysi if anyone is interested.

Hey glad you have a long weekend too. The Amy Allison is not limited as far as I know. Her website is www.amyallisonmusic.com and the disc number is SPIT027.
It's a recording well worth seeking out. Apart from the crappy Smiths track Everyday is like Sunday. Why oh why? But in her defense she makes it her own. It was recorded in Scotland and released by Shoeshine records www.shoeshine.co.uk
Hope this helps. Wishing you a great weekend.

Peace

Almost forgot to mention the spinning disc is:

"Robben Ford and the Blue Line - Handful of Blues".

Disclaimer to omniscient cosmic entity-the following is not a ***** session, does not indicate a lack of gratitude for the still and the calm, and does not in anyway imply the need for a return to tornadoes, galeforce winds, blizzards, etc.

It's hot. Very hot. Enough to chase a guy indoors...but that's ok

Now spinning: Dave Alvin--Museum of the Heart--good,bluesy,Knopfleresque honkey-tonk stuff

Cheers

[Dave918]

Grey skies, light rain, quiet, relaxed, George Shearing Quintet ~ That Shearing Sound

I like...yes, yes

-dave

[Dave918]

Still raining this am - which is a good thing. Spinning a recently arrived Telarc disk -

Jim Hall ~ Dialogues with Bill Frisell, Gil Goldstien, Tom Harrell, Joe Lovano and Mike Stern.

-dave

[Bernd]

Morning Dave,

No rain here and the B.O.T. is out but it's pretty cold .
In a laid back mood this afternoon therefore on the spot is:

"Gary Moore - Old Ballads, New Blues".

Just right

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

Good morning/afternoon gents,
Met some friends out last night for the last set of a local blues band.Wow. Amazingly horrible. If you're gonna play the blues you gotta have more soul than a sock puppet...

...now spinning:Chick Corea~Piano Improvisations Vol.2

[Bernd]

A good day to you too.
I agree that when the Blues is played bad it's bad. Sorry to hear that. Hope your evening wasn't spoiled.

Slight change in style here:

"Rory Block - From the Dust".

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

Hey Bernd,
No harm done and certainly not an evening spoiled. I, like most here I would assume, work too hard and too many hours to let my free time be wasted. And being in the company of good friends makes things better, eh.

ns: Ivo Pogorelich~Franz Liszt's Sonate in B minor another great old DG release

Cheers to you (one and all)

[JohnMichael]

Now playing on a beautiful spring morning;

Oscar Peterson

The More I See You

[bobsticks]

Good stuff and good to have you aboard on what is, in fact, a fine spring morning. I picked up a couple more Joshua Bell discs on your recommendation; very tasty stuff--thank you sir

[musicman1999]

If you like Joshua Bell,you may want to check out his work in the film The Red Violin,it is a great little canadian film that he gives voice to the title character,the red violin.

[Dave918]

Debbie Davies, Kenny Neal and Tab Benoit ~ Homesick For The Road

Some great blues tunes for a Saturday morning.

-dave

[bobsticks]

Hey everyone,
Thanks Musicman, I will undoubtedly give The Red Violin the look-up.

Now spinning-John Mayer~Heavier Things you know if it wasn't for his appearance on the Clapton deal, I probably would've written this guy off as some neophite pop-poseur--and it would've been my loss. This is a very good SACD...

[Bernd]

Good morning one and all.

Tackling today the:

"Martin Scorsese presents The Blues" 5 disc box set.

I am sure I will find some gems within.

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

What a lazy Sunday morning...
...snd drifting further into indolence with Billie Holiday~Lady in Satin

Cheers and good listening to all

[Bernd]

Little change of style to help me digest the Blues marathon is provided by:

"Stewboss - Sweet Lullabye".

Just right for a rainy sunday afternoon.

Peace

Bernd

P.S. One more and we will have 300 posts.

[Bernd]

Good Morning one and all...

Still raining. Nevermind. A helping tune or two to lift the damp spirit comes from:

"The Notting Hillbillies - missing.....presumed having a good time".

Beautiful.

Peace

Bernd
