Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Straight to You: Live



Tidal Masters 48

I saw these guys last year as the warm up band for Buddy Guy. Had they been playing with anyone else they could have easily been the headliner.

Tom,
They put on a better show than Buddy! ... Kenny's guitar playing was awesome!

Cheers,
Pete

Horace Silver "6 Pieces of Silver" Blue Note 1539.  A nice vinyl from 1956.  Silver, a young Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and an 18 year old Louis Hayes on drums.  These old Blue Note mono lp's really come to life with a mono cartridge (and a mono cartridge is more forgiving of surface noise).

Bernstein -  Copland Appalacian Spring, El Salon Mexico on a Columbia 2 eye the mid '60's. 
Not my fav Appalacian Spring, but El Salon Mexico is a fine performance.   The lesser known "Music for Theater" is a bit of Copland with a heavy dose of Gershwin added for flavor.

Paul McCartney: McCartney III



Tidal Masters 96

The newest from Sir Paul. Released at midnight tonight and I was streaming it at 12:30 (and the only reason I waited that long was because I was watching Jimmy Fallon interview McCartney on the Tonight Show. Only had the chance to give it a quick listen via headphones, but so far I like what I hear.

In keeping with the tradition set in the McCartney and McCartney II albums this is a true solo album, Paul does all the vocals and plays every instrument himself.

All of the songs on this album were written and recorded during the Covid lockdown.

Ben Webster: Gentle Ben



DSD 128

Acoustic Sounds has given up on selling high res files and put everything on sale right before they did. I picked up a whole bunch of top shelf DSD recordings.   8)

These 2xHD releases are native DSD recordings sourced from the original analog master tapes. Great SQ.
