Their last recordings are only around 30 minutes ...... Way too short for the monies!!
I think they are closer to 40 minutes.
Anyhow, I always found that to be an ideal length for an artistic statement.

The Carmen Gomes albums are about 50 minutes long and superbly well recorded so if the length of an album is important to you, I'd go for one of those;
"this intimate effort is one of the best and best-sounding jazz vocal albums to come along in many a day."
SoundStage!
all her albums are available in high resolution here: Sound Liaison
or in RedBook CD and MP3 via her BandCamp site; carmengomes.bandcamp.com

SOUND LIAISON: EMBRACE ME
The label has just released another fine album with Blue Note recording star Denise Jannah adding her voice to 4 of the 6 tracks.
Marvelous musicianship all through the album. And again superbly well recorded by master engineer Frans de Rond, and recommended by Don Sebesky;

Great tip. I just bought 'Don' 't You Cry' in high res. and the sound is indeed exceptional.

Speaking of Indigo Girls -- Closer to Fine (mentioned above) is perhaps my favorite track o' theirs -- but they also did a nice cover of Uncle John's Band for the Ur-tribute album Deadicated way back when :) Good recording, as well.




On the subject of the above-mentioned rekkid and on-topic for this thread...





PS I take no responsibility for the misspelling of Suzanne Vega's name on the video immediately above! :rolleyes:

Yes it is astonishing that you can do that with only one microphone. I read in the liner notes that they spend quite some time getting the balance right.
That said I do find her "multi mic" albums very good as well.
these two are recorded live in the studio and both had great reviews in the audiophile press;
