[Green Destiny]

listening to a couple of LZ albums today - these ones:

[Green Destiny]

Playing this one now:



One of the best live albums I have heard for sure - I really wish it was a double Disc (only 5 song! )

Agreed. Quite possibly my favorite vocal jazz album of all-time. Love Is Blindness, Solomon Sang, and A Little Warm Death really soothe my soul, but like you said, everything is great about this album.

It's really just a delicious recording, isn't it? I need to get a few of her more recent projects, which I haven't yet heard.

Tonight:

Mouse on Mars: Iaora Tahiti - This is from 1995, twenty years ago: two German guys with an interesting, slightly dance-oriented mix of electronics and vocals. Might be more "music of its time," but I was enjoying it tonight.

A couple shots of Michter's Rye, 95 dB peaks, another spin.  Good stuff.  Real good stuff.

[Wakefield]

Love Enoch Light's stuff.  Just makes me smile and tap my foot.

... and Jane "Barbarella" Fonda has been one of the most beautiful girls that ever has graced the screen.

If she just had followed the advice of the poet back then... "Be beautiful and shut up!."

listening to a couple of LZ albums today - these ones:

Whether Zeppelin ripped Stairway To Heaven from Spirit (I don't hear much similarity myself), is not important. This song is one of the greatest in the history of rock IMHO.

The best example of modern metal for those who don't like metal. So a surprise that I like it, maybe? 
Very much melodic and emotionally intense throughout.

Superb, though!

Cassandra Wilson: Belly of the Sun - Wilson's take on Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" (made popular by Glen Campbell) is almost worth the whole album.

I've done my listening of these back to back. And that's quite unusual because nowadays I mostly listen to classical music (and feel I've definitely still only taken a few steps into exploring and experiencing that world) with an occasional foray into jazz.
Anyway, both these artists accompanied me through my teenage years - and they've certainly aged better than I!
