Some interesting ECMs on the way

[WorldB3]

The new Stefano Bollani - Stone in the Water is a gem.

So much better than the solo one he put out for ECM a few years back.

That's another one I haven't heard yet.

I found it at lala.com:

Since you recommend it, I'll plan to listen to it this week.

Why all the lala plugs?

Greg, I've been enthusiastic about lala ever since I discovered it. I wish I had a nickel for everyone I've told about it. At lala, you don't listen to just samples. You listen to the entire album!

I'm unaware of any other US site that lets you do that.

Now that I think of it, I think that it would be a service to all of us if we all got into the habit of linking to lala (or spotify for the European members) whenever we talk about an album we like or are interested in.

I think that would get annoying pretty quickly.

Nice to know that Lala can do that, but it's not something I'm interested in checking out.

I see that lala.com has the new Carla Bley Christmas album Carla's Christmas Carols.

It's way too early for me to get into the Christmas spirit. I suppose that most people start the day after Thanksgiving, but I wait three more days and start the day after the Grey Cup game.
