Yes, Hermeto is great. A 2 cd set of the first live recordings of the Grupo was just released.
Now playing
Aline Muniz "Outra" cd
Brazilian pop with an edge--great bass player and horn section!
This is one I use to see "what condition my condition is in" on the stereo. All frequencies are so nicely presented on this recording with detail and musicality. And on top of that over the years I've learned to love the music more and more and more. A desert island disc for me.
"Secret Ellington"--a musical Ellington (and Strayhorn?) had written music for that went unproduced and this is the first recording of the libretto and music.
It has been too long since I played this and boy does it sound great!
Patty McGovern, with the Tommy Talbert Orchestra, "Wednesday's Child" Japanese lp facsimile cd.
Midwest Cool music. Adding to the easing into Monday. I missed my stereo so much this weekend!
I like this one a lot. The most recent release from Japan in the UHQCD format (may recycle the 2009 mastering from Japan, not sure) is likely still a needle drop but sounds pretty darned good.

I decided not to buy this one. . . I have it in the Revenent "Holy Ghost" box and I'm not insanely fond of the new ezz-thetics mastering "house sound."
