mwhouston Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Listen to some Curzon from a 1958 DECCA recording today. In fact I listen to two 1958 recordings from DECCA. Re-issued on 180gm vynil. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey d Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I met the members of MGT after the little gig they played in Lawson last year *such a privilege!* and I asked Wolfgang what was his favourite Towner album. He replied that "Solo Live" had a huge influence on his formative years as a musician. Must get that one. Only got this on vinyl. Nice record! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey d Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Listening to that again now. It's a beaut! I love it. Thanks Martin. Gismonti and Towner share some interesting parallels eh? Love them both, but Egberto's rhythmic drive & unbridled romanticism prompts me to play his music more often than Ralph's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
