Some music (both solo and group recordings) of the highly underrated pianist Bill Carrothers, who I will have the pleasure of studying with in the fall. Not only is he an amazing musician, but he's also a extremely kind person, which is equally important!
I can't think of a particular word to describe his playing, you'll just have to listen to it: https://www.npr.org/sections/ablogs...10689/monterey-jazz-2011-bill-carrothers-trio

The incredibly talented violin player Vanessa-Mae - hope she return with new materials some day.
She was very young when she became a big violinist star, plus some violin-pop mix, and then suddenly took off to privacy, still very young, and participated in Skiing in Olympics etc.

Thought this was a new release, came out in 2004. Thought it was a double album, today in the car I finally swapped out Disk 2 for Disk 1, and apparently what I bought had two Disk 1's and no Disk 2. Brought it into the house and finally figured out the second disk is a 2019 remix, d'Oh!
Still, didn't have it and it's very good.
This timeless, masterfully-done record:
Agreed.
This is timeless.
Actually, I had the astonishing privilege of hearing (being present at) an incredible (the venue was small, a pub.....okay, a pub that that cultivated a ruputation for inviting classy music legends to play....I sat, and sipped serious German beers with the old college friend I had persuaded to accompany me, - for, I had stressed that these were legends, and, of course, he had never heard of them, but agreed with me - (I had bought our tickets) - that they were brilliant - anyway I gazed in rapture at these legends, and listened, with awe and thrilled delight - three elderly gentlemen - performing classics I recognised as I had purchased almost all of their CDs) live performance given by the Brazilian legends Azymuth around twenty years ago while they were on a European tour.
I drove by the house I grew up in a couple of days ago, and looking in the direction that would have been outside my bedroom window, I was reminded of a distinct memory, which affectively coincided with the first music video I ever saw on MTV. With that, it got me into a major vibe when I get reminded of that time in my life as an 8 hear old when the song and video were released. The premise of the video may have been about the hard life of what was going on in the video, but for me, it reminded me of what was new to me at that time, and still does to this day. Anyway, here's the first video I ever saw.
BL.
BL.
Utopia's "white" album is one of the top Pop masterpieces of all time, right up there with FoW's "Welcome Interstate Managers" and S&G "Bridge over troubled water"! Got to see Utopia live two times (excellent shows but the damned LOUDEST/DISTORTED I've ever seen) and four of their concert DVDs. Incredible band.
Cool!
The Bossa Nova is such a light genre—by that, I mean sonically and instrumentally light and soft - not loud and "bangy." I love that about it, it's relaxing to listen to, and it never gets old. Especially that track, listen to how on the second A section, the bass and percussion (and maybe piano? can't tell) come in very lightly, but it's noticeable if you listen carefully.

Yup, and IMHO, totally different than most of Rundgren's solo stuff. That probably goes without saying though...
And, obviously, a completely different record/feel than Automatic for the People.
Beautiful music. The Baroque period is much unappreciated these days.
A classic tune. Two versions. One by the creator and one by her friends...
Luciano Pavarotti plays Caruso in a live performance in Paris.
Caruso is a song written by the Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla in 1986 and is considered by critics as a modern masterpiece.
The author took inspiration for this song during his stay in Sorrento, in a hotel,
in the same room that had hosted the tenor Enrico Caruso, shortly before his death.

Dave McKenna—never gets old, I could listen to him all day (and I kind of have been). And, he's been such an influence on my own playing that I always learn something new when I listen to one of his records.
This interesting record, don't really know what to think of it. I like the overall idea of it, but I find both tracks repetitive, especially since they're both in the same key
