What are you spinning now? (Mark 4)

Yes, a few times I have.

It doesn’t seem to enhance nor disturb my sleep.

He is always cheery… Closer to 55… But he does do a lot of drilling - which takes its toll on him … :grinning:

Did my federal and state taxes and I’m trying to assuage the sting of writing two checks with some great music.

Started with some lovely Dexter Gordon, the SACD of the Blue Note title “Dexter Calling” put out by Analogue Productions.

And on to Billie Holiday “All or Nothing at All” the Verve sessions on Analogue Production SACD. These Verve titles done by Analogue Productions via Sterling Sound sound FANTASTIC.

Love Jim Lauderdale. Seen him a couple of times, and he’s always put on a wonderfully intimate show.

Yeah drilling is tiring!
Back now, as is the hifi, unharmed :slight_smile:
Warming up again on 6music for now…

Last place I went before the lockdown was to see her in Chester, and very good it was too :slight_smile:

Coleman Hawkins “Wrapped Tight” Impluse/Analogue Productions SACD

I saw a hawk flying through the window, and walked over to a shelf and my eye landed on this one. Seems a great followup to the Holiday disc with excellent Ellis and Webster. Hawkins had such a great sound form the start to the end.

Ouch!

What a great album. Story is that Charlie Parker used the Grafton plastic sax for this although I don’t know if that’s true.
They were all in great form for this (especially Diz).

Edit - not so keen on this one, turned it off. A bit too “easy listening” and song based for my taste.

Brilliant solo bluegrass guitar.
