My Qobuz doesn’t have it, and I only have CDs from Crime of the Century (1974) and later. I’ll give em a listen. Just bought the first two Supertramp CDs. Amazon…

24/96 2012 mastering.

Most of us know songs like ‘Fever’, but the singer behind the songs is perhaps less familiar to most Europeans. As the Swedish singer Jessica Pilnäs explains, “Many of my friends and colleagues had never heard of Peggy Lee, although she did not only have a successful 40-year career as a unique performer, but also was one of the first singer-songwriters who wrote songs and lyrics herself”In America Peggy Lee (1920-2002) is one of the great singers of the 20th century, alongside Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. Not only was she a star in the jazz circles after having been discovered by Benny Goodman as a twenty-year-old, but she was also known by the wider public.

I revisited an old compilation CD i got from a friend, pretty much exactly ten years ago. The CD is called Johan’s HiFi Sampler in my library and introduced me to some very nice artists. However, it’s not all music for daily consumption so many of them fell into oblivion for a few years.
However, with Roon and both Qobuz and Tidal available, this morning i decided to look up some of the artists that were on that original sampler. And this is what i found and wanted to share, just a few examples:



And quite a few more in the same vein, well recorded and performed good music!
