The ten sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) for piano and violin span the fifteen-year period from 1797 to 1812, opus numbers 12 to 96. Found in these wonderful pieces is a world of musical colors and moods and abundant contrast of intensity—light and dark, simplicity and complexity of melodic and harmonic language—all within the beautifully constructed musical framework that is so characteristic of Beethoven’s work.

Posted by v3122 at April 20, 2022

An ultra-rare exotica album originally released in 1963, Monte Moya & The Surfers' "Percussionata" is high on the list of many exotica collectors and commands high dollar on auction sites when an original LP copy becomes available. Sounding like a cross between the Latin fueled jazz of Cal Tjader and the mellow exotica of Arthur Lyman, "Percussionata" sounds as fresh today as it did when first released, largely thanks to the audiophile quality of the original recordings…

After two exemplary ECM discs in the company of Andy Sheppard, Michel Benita has an album with his own group.

The group’s music, correspondingly, flows - like the glistening river of the title - beyond borders.

Michel Petrucciani Trio - Estate (1982) [Reissue 2005] MCH SACD ISO + DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC Vinyl & HR

Posted by HDAtall at March 22, 2024

Michel Petrucciani, although small in stature, was a giant in the jazz world. Stylistically, Petrucciani is most frequently compared to Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett for his lyricism and Oscar Peterson for his virtuosity. His playing was often quite dramatic; critics accuse him of over-indulgence and cheap showmanship, sometimes dismissing his music as being too accessible. The French born musician first recorded in 1980. This album is from early in his career (1982) and remains a musical insight into his early offerings before his career blossomed with multiple releases on Blue Note.
