As a complete contrast I'm currently listening to:
Vivaldi - "La Venezia Di Anna Maria," Midori Seiler with the Concerto Köln.

Being a Johnny come lately in so many things I finally got round to watching that BBC4 documentary about Jeff Beck. Where have I been for so long; I have some of his albums and saw him once with Carmine Appice and Tim Bogart (not that good really and I'd only gone to see the two Americans in the band as I'd had a thing about Vanilla Fudge). Everything else was vague and formless.
I've been affected quite deeply. As Ron Wood said (I think it was he) - Jeff Beck... where you been!????
I've missed so much and it is time to do some serious lissnin'. Even The Mahavishnus played a part!
words fail me.. dear oh dear.

I knew more or less what he'd been doing over the years, but that documentary is really good and adds to it. I was shocked for instance at how good the solo was on the original Yardbirds 'Shapes' - this was only c.1967 after all. Like Gilmour's contributions.
Definitely would recommend the DVD of the Ronnie Scott's set - not expensive, and so many stunning performances - 'Big Block' and 'Where were you' for example, but it's all superb.
I think the period between Truth and Blow by Blow is intriguing, the 'Jeff Beck Group' album has some great stuff on it - and I love Max Middleton's playing and influence on Jeff. There are also two 'UPP' albums which I've not heard, although I have seen one TV clip - should try to fill in the gaps on this.

I thought I'd try uTube first.
Woke up this morning and at last got round to putting brass bridge pieces on my Tele and restringing it and spent the next couple of hours unable to put it down, wondering, as one does, what I can learn from JB. The people in the documentary all commented on the very positive and productive effect JB has on the musicians with whom he works...particularly the young women musicians! - very unusual.
His style, well phroaaaar - would JH have progressed in his own way as much. EC pretty much stays the same over the years and DG just got more fluent, to cut very long stories short.

Today I have mostly been playing physical media, vinyl singles quite a lot.
The energy contained in the grooves of those dusty, scratchy little 7 inchers is hilarious, but my oh my, you have to be fit to play them in any quantity, if you don't have a stacking autochanger
Now I've got Karajan, on vinyl, storming and stomping his way through "The Creatures of Prometheus", "Coriolan" "The Ruins of Athens" and Symphony No 6, with the Berlin Phil. I only have to get up every twenty minutes now.......luxury!

You can see why Mr Sony said that he wanted to listen to Beet's 9th without having to get up... and the CD was invented!

Must have been a nightmare with those box-sets of six or eight 78rpm discs

But which came first ? - the fitness, or the 6-disc symphonies ?

Fitness for porpoises, hi fi for humans.
There was a boxed set of five Jeff Beck albums...in Sainsburys. I didn't buy it. Another reason to kick myself.
I've been enjoying uTube though.
