Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas with Friedrich Gulda


I will post the complete piano sonatas by Beethoven with Friedrich Gulda, but it's 9 albums. This is part 1/9 - Disc 4.

Why I started with disc 4? Knock it off grandpa. Just get the album.

Enjoy!


Russel Malone - Black Butterfly




Is the blog back? YEAH!

I promise to fix all the broken links and to post tons of stuff more. Also, I am going to start posting some classic goodies as well. If you don't like classic, I also promise that you will start to love in a matter of weeks with us.

OK. Enough talking, let's listen. Russel Malone. This is album is triple hot. One hot because Russel is soooo cute. Oh god, NO. He's just an amazing guitarist that has played with Ray Brown, Lewis Nash, Bobby Hutcherson, Jimmy Smith and many others, and is cranking all up in this album. Second hot because Steve Nelson is on it, incredible as always. Third hot because the songs are fucking awesome: Jingles, Say a Little Prayer for You (!), All Through the Night, Dee's Song and others.

But hey, don't take my word for it. GET IT!
