What are you listening to tonight ?

Been listening to a lot of Basie with Ella, Tony, and Frank. Can hardly go wrong with them. Can't get enough of great sounding horn sections on my system. However, I do prefer listening to those artists more when their recordings sound more modern. I prefer the more modern mixes. I don't listen to a lot of mono. I do listen to a lot of bluesy jazz, jazzy blues, bop, and.....bluegrass!! :disbelief:
 
I like some of the older like 50's & 60's better than modern recordings, in general. Good older recordings seem to separate the horns more, giving each more their own space. Also, sounds like more live in the studio type recording with less manipulation.

Did you see the new Bella Fleck Bluegrass album? I haven' listened to it all the way through, the tracks I did sounded pretty good.

Aaron Parks, I heard him on a playlist and checked out some of his albums, sound is excellent, he is a pianist, some material is traditional acoustic where a later album is more modern. I liked his playing.

Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit
Alone Again, or by Love

I haven't listened to Bela's new recording but I know about it and I will very soon.

Regarding older jazz recordings, I love Basie and his orchestra with just about anyone. Notice I didn't say I don't listen to '50s recordings. I just prefer the '60s recordings, especially the remixed/remastered ones.
 
Led Zeppelin - Deus Ex Machina

These two 1975 soundboards are wonderful with the band in exceptional form on the March 21st date.

Johnny Jewel ‎– Digital Rain - beautiful dark ambient from Johnny, exquisitely cut to vinyl by Burnie Grundman. Even the coloured vinyl is quiet and sounds great.

I just gave another listen to Deep Purple , Child in Time and I am once again blown away. There is a live version from 1970 on You Tube that is fun to watch if anybody smarter than me will post it. Thx.
