What jazz have you been listening to today?

[Corno Dolce]

Bach: The Brandenburgs by the Jacques Loussier Trio.

[Mat]

Hello Corno Dolce,

Ahh, Jacques Loussier... Have you ever heard his Impressions on Chopin's nocturnes or Impressions on Bach? He did really good job.


Cheers,
Mat

Hello Mat,

Thank you dear Sir for suggesting his "Chopin" and "Bach" - I have just ordered them.

You da man Mat, you da man...

Humbly yours,

Hello Intet,

Today I really "listened" to Keith Jarrett: The dual CD set entitled "Whisper Not" and the triple CD set entitled "Setting Standards" - The New York Sessions. My Lady and I really got into the track entitled "Never Let Me Go" on Vol. 2 of the New York Sessions. It has got to be the most perfect Jazz Ballad for trio ever recorded. Man, it just boggles the mind.......Yowsa!!!!!!!

Humbly,

CD

My dear chap and colleague Corno Dolce from Oceania

"Yowsa!!!!!!!", yet another new word for me (like the "fratboy" expression) linked to Keith Jarrett and The New York Sessions, though I´m not realy familiar with which 3 CD set, you´re talking about??? Please elaborate my friend on this particular album.

"Whisper Not" ECM Records 2000, on the other hand a great album. Tell me my dear sir and mentor, does your Lady feel the same infatuation towards Jarrett/Peacock/DeJohnette like you and me??? Stupid question eh?

Got it Corno Dolce, though I do believe you somehow got distracted during the listening by ?, since the "Setting Standards" - Live at The Carnegie Hall Concert" seems to be the solo piano 2 CD set from 2006:

My dear friend - Don´t Ya ever do this to me again, scrolling every list of Jarrett albums I already have on stock.

Geez buddy, you realy had me worryed there for a minute, thinking has he completely lost it? Remember, I am older than you not going steady as the former famous Danish rock any more, and a chock like this one, might have me back in the hospital in a jippy on the department for cardio - anything.

"Setting Standards" is from 2008 released by ECM Records, USA (only).

It´s okay , you made other contributions far more impotant and admirable, and the very fact we both enjoy this all american Standards Trio jazz outfit Jarrett/Peacock/DeJohnette equaly are better than winning the lottery for me, perhaps even sex Round Midnight, I can manage for a couple of weeks .

But to show you the gratitude - Head on pal, the greatest of days arrive at Christmas!!

Excepts from "The Silent American" by the english author of many an international staged novel, Mr. Graham Greene:

I have never met a man with better motives for all the troubles he caused.

Thanks for the link compadre.

Hi Intet,

It sometimes seems so inscrutable why ECM releases a CD in the U.S. but not in Europe or only in Europe and not in the U.S.

Granted, it is a decision based on business principles i.e. ECM wants to get ROI(return on investment).

Of course, with the advent of music downloads maybe we ARE seeing the end of the CD as we know it. We download all we want and then into the Ipod it goes. Yep, no more need for stores to carry CD's - no costs for manufacturing facilities, machinery, labor, shipping, and handling of the physical product. Yep, just think - fewer jobs because of all this technological advancement. No wonder then we see an explosion of fast-food enterprises - they take up the surplus of unskilled labor.

So sorry for so going off-topic ---
