Saw her perform at Caramoor September past. Program included Bach’s Suite No. 2 for Solo Cello, Biber’s Passacagila in G MInor for Solo Violin “Guardian Angel”, and ended with Bach’s Partita No. 2 for solo violin in D Minor, BWV 1004 - the Chaconne was spellbinding. Podger is a supreme musician (and lovely person to speak with) & every one of her recordings on Channel Classics is worth seeking out.
Two of my favorite cool cats. On Analogue Productions LE 45 RPM vinyl. My toes are tapping as I type …
Can’t get enough Hammond B3! Alas, never got to see Jimmy live. But got to see his young protégé Joey DeFrancesco, a kid he played with and mentored, shake it up at the Chicago Jazz Festival back in 2006. Joey soaked up everything he learned and a lot more. Jimmy’s legacy lives on.
I came across this lot by accident on Radio 4 (UK talk radio, but not naff phone in stuff).
This and their first album are really most enjoyable, and chock full of huge bass too (I’ll get some subs one day, meanwhile, with medium volume and a good dose of low end corrective eq I’m good down to a low C1 (31 Hz roughly) which isn’t too shabby).
All with a jazz/soulfull type vocal on too, which is dubbed to the max (as in dub echo stuff, not translated :D).
Recommended.
Edit - sooner rather than later for the subs I hope, one of the advantages/disadvantages of having an RTA running is you can see what you’re missing, and there’s a lot going on in the octave below 31 Hz with this album…
Edit 2 - my apologies C1 is 32.7 Hz so closer to 33.
That’s awesome. I have some live jimmy smith in que-
