New Album Releases Project 2020-5-10

It is what it is. What I like, and to that which I listen may very well go against the grain, but then whoever said I was agreeable just doesn’t know me all that well.

Anne Bisson is a treasure. I not only have autographed albums of her but when we have met on numerous occasions at HiFi Shows she graciously puts up with my French

Blank & Jones famous for the Milchbar series of music, much like Rollmops, is an acquired taste. And one well worth the acquisition.

Nick Cave is always welcome in my book and his Cosmic Dancer is no exception.

 

A fair deal of pianists this week, all of whom never fail to impress me:

Martha Argerich

Grigory Sokolov

Konstantin Scherbakov

 

And now three pianists new to me:

Goran Filipec

Inon Barnatan

Seong-Jin-Cho

 

The Fratellis’ latest album title could very well describe me at certain intervals. Nonetheless, the record is good fun.

Blasts from the past: Nina Simone and Peter Straker. The former on my radar, the latter not even a  blip.
