Concha Buiko and Chucho Valdes - El Ultimo Trago
Haha! I was in such a rush to go have a margarita that I forgot to actually post this. Here it is a bit late...
Friday afternoon on the left coast and realized I hadn't posted for a while or listened to much music the last week or so. So, put a playlist on and the first thing that caught my eye in the library was the album El Ultimo Trago by Concha Buiko and Chucho Valdes. This album is an interesting mix of Cuban Jazz and Flamenco workings of Ranchera songs. Ranchera songs being what you hear from Mariachi bands but this album takes them up a notch into a Cuban smooth vibe. I feel like going downstairs and making myself a margarita and chilling out. In fact, I think I will. Bye! Have a great weekend!

Paul Beaudry and Pathways - Americas
After playing some hi-res tracks yesterday I was thinking about some other music I have that is hi-res and got to thinking about Soundkeeper records. Soundkeeper is a small recording company that specializes in hi-res live-mic acoustic music recordings.I pulled up an album by Paul Beaudry and Pathways called "Americas" to listen to. Always amazes me how good well recorded music can sound and this album is well recorded. What is amazing about this recording is that when you turn it up how real it sounds and it just gets better since the dynamic range in the recording is quite wide. It literally sounds like there is a jazz quartet playing in my listening room. The music is a celebration of North, Central and South American musical styles.
