Anyway, I picked this up recently on vinyl in Tower and it's a cracker. For me it doesn't really come to life until side 2 but I'm young, I have time to learn to love side 1.

I was jazzing it up myself. (That sounds wrong).

Apparently, they were a street band but made the big time with this album, which was nominated for the 2008 Mercury prize. They use the alto sax a lot (sounding almost like a clarinet) and instruments called "hang drums" - a swiss invention which sounds like a carribean steel drum.

Virtuoso bassist Avishai Cohen has played with Chick Corea, "At Home" recorded in 2004 is his second solo offering.
This CD is in a similar vein to The Bad Plus or EST but with an eastern tinge bringing intensity and sincerity and a very good recording to boot.
I've had this on in the background for the last few days and it has grown on me to the point where I sat to listen. Other than skipping track one (maybe I need more time to appreciate this one) this is a cracking offering.
Some of the best inter-weaving between Bass and Drums I've come across in quite a while, power with control.
F5Pi Amp(Nelson Pass design), Airtight ATM-4, Ruark Accolades, Pink Triangle TT, Roksan Artimiz, Clearaudio Discovery, Tom Evans Microgroove Plus, Audiolab 6000 CDT, Fran DAC, Dalkey Audio Interconnects.

Its a great recording alright Seán. Strangely this was the recording that opened the door for me to Miles. A Kind of Blue I didnt quite warm to much.Seán wrote:I have it on vinyl too.

Then you obviously enjoy his work with Gil Evans so you might want to get a copy of Porgy and Bess if you don't already have it. I first listened to Kind of Blue when I was 19 years old and I was smitten, I love it.DaveF wrote:Its a great recording alright Seán.
