Keeping it a NKC Sunday morning, Disc 5!
You win! A full multi-disk set easily beats my single, albeit expanded, single album. 
What else would I be listening to? Disc 7&8. Maybe the best $350.00 I’ve ever spent. If you’re looking for a way to strip stress out of your life, play this music.

Someone posted this here and I picked it up. I buy so much new music, sometimes it takes a while to get to some CDs. This is a very good sounding, modern recording! They do exist, just pretty rare.
Oh,ya the music, such groovy music! I’m goin back to Delta Time. I’m ready to go too!
The horn solo announcing the theme at the beginning of Pavane pour une Infante défunte is a hand horn on this recording, as specified by Ravel. The sound of a hand stopped natural horn is distinctive and very different from the modern valved horn.

Last one for the week. See y’all next weekend. Such a great record. It’s so cool you can hear the wow and flutter of the tape machine on Booker T. Jones’ piano. Love this hobby!
Livingston Taylor, at 192/24. “Ink”, and “Safe Home”.
What an artist - I think I’d rather go to one of his concerts than his brother James’.

13th century music, wonderfully performed, and the remastering is magnificent (88.2/24). Absolutely glorious listening, breath takingly beautiful.
Cantigas de Santa Maria (Canticles of Holy Mary) are 420 poems with music notation, written during the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio (1221–1284) who, at a minimum heavily influenced them. The illustrations of one of the codices includes illuminations depicting performing musicians so we can make some assumptions as to performance. But while we know the pitches, the length of notes is only somewhat specified. Thus, scholars continue to debate exactly how these pieces should be played. This recording is perhaps as definitive as it gets, given the involvement of so many early music specialists.
(The cover illustration is from one of the other codices of the work.)
Been doing some work and listening to the radio, the classical station here in the Cleveland area, WCLV from Lorain. But I’m finally spinning some cds. . . .This one is from the new Weather Report complete box set.
Weather Report “Tale Spinnin’”
Herbie Hancock “My Point of View” Blue Note Japan SHM-CD
F. Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 39 in G minor
Carl Maria von Weber: Clarinet Quintet in B flat, Op. 34
Count Basie “Live at the Sands (Before Frank)” Mobile Fidelity SACD
Lockjaw is great on this. Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis is great on record from the forties on, but man he was a great fit with the Basie band!
