I was so enthralled with his brilliant talent making a ukulele sing like a magic instrument.

Ctouhey!

I just listened to the Walter Hyatt CD, KING TEARS.

I cant thank you enough for this recommendation. It is superb!

I sometimes just skip around on a new cd previewing, but I listened to the entire CD
start to finish it was that good.

Its so sad to learn that this talented person is no longer with us in this world.
He certaintly had a great voice and talent.

I got some new hardware and it was fun to listen to this new selection on the new preamp and amp..

Get it while you can!

HAITIMAN...

I finally got the Doreen Smith Cd "In the Still of the Night A Tribute to Julie London" and yes I listened to "Route 66" ..

And it was really very well done, I listened to it several times....awesome.

This cd is a demo disc for sure...it took a long time to get it from Canada, I called the site and it showed up the next day!!

Thanks much for the recommendation!!
Awesome..

First heard a cut on WDCB our local jazz+ station and missed who the artists were. Last week they were in the studio. Very good recording and excellent music. A few of the cuts will be demos with that UltraValve/Insight/Songtower set IMO since they are over here.

Glad you enjoyed it, Alex!

I saw Walter with the late Champ Hood at the Mucky Duck here in Houston not long before the accident. The performance was simply stunning and the crowd was absolutely silent during the songs.

After the crash, there was a sold-out tribute/fund-raiser for his family held in Austin, and I went up there for the show with Rusty and Teresa (who own the Mucky Duck). There were some incredible performances and very moving tributes.

Martyo,
I saw them last August at the College of Dupage Jazz Fest and bought the CD right away. I agree about the sound quality and the music. I think even lonewolfy liked it

You want another one? You ever here of Eleni Mandell? Album is Miracle of Five.

You can't go wrong for $1.79 on the A's used market place.

The sound stage stretches from wall to wall on my HT-2 TL's. On the song My Twin, at approximately 2:22, there are two horns that come in. The one to the left, a clarinet IIRC, will make the hairs on thhe back of your neck stand up in attention!

From Russia with love.....Two Siberians - "Out of Nowhere"....

I've had this awhile....came out in 2005....good guitar work....good variety of tunes.
Electric guitarist Yuri Matveyev and electric violinist Artyom Yakushenko are virtuosos, and their music-a singular hybrid of rock, folk and jazz propelled by a Russian ethnic pulse-is unlike anything out there.Yes, it’s instrumental music (electric violin and electric guitar), but do not be fooled. Think infectious melodies with burning virtuosic displays. Think impassioned whispers and fiery bursts with a propulsive ethnic pulse. Think world pop instrumental. Or just consider the opinion of Maty Fernandez of MTV: “These two guys do what it takes Dave Matthews five guys to do.”

Check it out....

It is a good one, I have been enjoying it for several years now. Lots of russian folk tunes that are tastefully arranged into a world-jazz form

Just finished another wonderful moody listening session...I really liked the Walter Hyatt CD that was recommended awhile back and I got his: Some Unfinished Business:
http://www.amazon.com/Some-Unfinished-Business-Walter-Hyatt/dp/B001231472/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1280710169&sr=1-1

I wouldnt call this one a Demo CD, but if you like Walter Hyatt its a good listen.

Also Walter Hyatts, Music Town:
http://www.amazon.com/Music-Town-Walter-Hyatt/dp/B000000EWV/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1280710169&sr=1-3

This one is very well recorded and its real county like and sounds wonderful.
King Tears still is my favorite but I enjoyed these as well.

Finally we got out an oldie but a goodie.
Larry Carltons, Alone-But Never Alone
http://www.amazon.com/Alone-But-Never-Larry-Carlton/dp/B000002O2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1280709733&sr=1-1

This is a superb cd that is from 1986 genre, very well rercorded, full on ambiance and all those really neat little things, shimmering in the background. Wonderful acoustic guitar. Larry at his finest. 5 Star. Demo Quality.

I highly recommend this Carlton CD... Its only .99 cents at the A!!! What have you got to loose!!

All the best
Alex
