What we are listening to [2018]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine claims there’s “not enough focus to make the album itself (Aladdin Sane) a classic.”

I beg to differ.

I’m fairly new to Jazz so still discovering artists and records–a joy in Roon + Tidal. Listening again to “Gentle Ben” by Ben Webster I followed the pianist (Tete Montoliu) link to discover a great catalog of music. This one hooked me from the start:

Terrific live trio date. I could single someone out, but all these guys are masters of the craft, so just lean back and enjoy the synergy. (I sure miss Abercrombie.)

It does. I’m even more stunned by this one though:

Yeah, “La Fenice” is one of my favourite albums this year. And the year is almost over :grinning:

Thank you all for participating in the [2018] thread and thankyou @Sloop_John_B for the first such thread and @Carl for organising them by year. You can find previous years threads in the Music category (historians of the future will thank us all).

This one will be retired with the New Year and a shiny, fresh new thread opened. No prizes for guessing what it will be called.

These threads continue to be one of the most popular parts of the Forum, and, I hope, encourage the devs to consider how Roon might better assist users share their musical discoveries.

I’ve gotten so many good tips from these threads, and this year even resisted posting Bucks Fizz (you’re welcome @joel).

See you all on the other side !
