The band is Pink Martini, a Jazz / Lounge music. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Thanks Twinster for the heads up on Pink Martini!

Indeed, it is a fine recording - just finished sourcing it in full FLAC and I must say it's quite nice, very nice.

 Keiff!!!

 The man is more than just a guitarist for the 'Stones and an inventor of a breakfast drink named 'Nuclear Fallout' (sunkist and vodka)

 He came up with this album after 'Talk is Cheap'

 If you ever needed a sub bass test for your Grado's ~ check out 'Words of Wonder' on this album, it's supreme.

 I have listened to this album well over 250 times and counting ~ and I prefer it on my rig with the 325i over the LCD2/HD800

 hooked up to $4000AUD worth of source and head amp.

 "Main Offender, Keith Richards' second solo album, is the most realistic-sounding rock recording I've ever heard.

The guitar work growls and sears, and the drumkit conveys the whack of stick on skin and the kickdrum's quick impact.

There's tremendous space -- width and depth galore -- which is defined by the way each drum strike projects into the recording venue.

If your amps and neighbors are up to it, "Runnin' Too Deep" will communicate the sort of raw power that characterizes live music.

As the liner notes indicate, the material was laid to tape in multiple studios, recorded and mixed by different engineers, and you can easily

tell the difference, which is another reason this CD is a reference: it clearly illustrates the difference between very good and extraordinary

sound....Marc Mickelson"

 Scored this today, it's a massive 4 disc set - some of you may remember 'Girl from Ipanema' but it's not the Stan Getz rendition,

 however, it does have a clean example of Sergio Mendes 'Mas Que Nada' which was all the rage as the theme song for the last World Cup of Football.

 Good Brazilian Samba times on the Grado..
