What jazz music are you listening to?

And another new ECM release:

Vijay Iyer
Linda May Han Oh
Tyshawn Sorey - Uneasy
Qobuz 24/96




Almost always worthy of your time, ECM albums.
I follow this piano player since quite a while.
He's made more pronounced music than this record but it is a very nice listen anyhow.

Caroll Vanwelden - Sings Shakespeare Sonnets 3
via Qobuz

[bart]

Jimmie Lunceford - The Quintessence
via Qobuz




A couple of songs from this set.
Lunceford hasn't aged as well as the Duke or the Count...

Fay Claassen - Close To You
Qobuz 24/48




Dangerous to tackle some (very) good pop songs.
I do prefer the originals.

AMULET a One Microphone Recording.

It’s magical listening to Michael Moore and Paul Berner play. The music seems to flow in a natural unhindered stream, each note being an obvious continuation of what was played before.
It was a thrill to be in the producer's seat at this session, witnessing these two masters feeding off each other, passing the ball at just the right moment, shaping the songs by polishing, simplifying or embellishing where needed, yet all the time being aware of the freshness and immediacy of creating in the moment.

The combination of the C700S microphone and the ears and expertise of engineer Frans de Rond, ensures perfect imaging, great sense of depth, superior realism and complete phase coherence.
I love the result. There is in my opinion a no better tool for optimizing speaker placement and finding the optimal listening position, than a One Microphone recording done with the C700S.
Listening to Amulet I marvel at the completeness of the album, how each song sounds as if it could not have been played in any other way.
And I marvel at the vivid naturalness of the sound, it’s as if I am there, standing at the sweet spot where Frans placed the microphone.

I've been following the label since you and others posted it here Pau.
Is this new release also musically good?

[bart]

Ella Fitzgerald - Sings The George And Ira Gershwin Song Book

The definitive versions of these songs.
Over 3 hours of bliss, with sound quality on a par.

Monty Alexander - Love You Madly -Live At Bubba's
Qobuz 24/96




Very well recorded live set from '82.
Good playing.

Caroll Vanwelden - portraits of brazil
via Qobuz




Hmmm... she has a good voice, but doesn't use it in a way I like.
This is the second and last album of hers I've listened to.
