ICE Meetup on 6th July - Regular Activity - Music Appreciation

[Lionheart7004]

As part of the plan to get everyond in the meetup to learn and appreciate music better one of the experiemental new item that we plan to do is to review an (audiophile) CD each week so that ICE/Home Hifi lovers will expand their musical horizon.

 

What we will do is to pick a few tracks from a CD each week.do some auditon (not hi-fi sense) and we will sampling on one of our member vehicle (preferably a MPV, so that we can 5-6 member to do the session together). Hopefully this would be volunteered and rotated among music lovers so that we are in diversity and have an enjoyable evening home.

 

Since being seen pioneer in this idea (acutally i have done that in my tertiary days), let me kick this off. I will get our interested members to reference to one of my favourite disc which i have been listening for at least 18 years. Radka Toneff - Fairytales. - Genre: Jazz and Recital. Publised on LP 1979, Odin 1982 CD.

 

Synopsis

TONEFF, Radka (b 25 June '52, Oslo, Norway; d 21 Oct. '82)

FairyTales '82 on Odin (duet with Steve Dobrogosz). FairyTales was off-putting for jazz purists because of its title and 'new-agey' cover art, but was her best album, with a version of 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress' soon issued on an Odin CD sampler: people who heard it began scrambling for Toneff's albums, but she was already gone. Her sudden death was described by newspapers as a suicide, but friends said that although she brought it on herself, it was an accident

 

 

Session suggestion to start : 2300 hours. Period 10 minutes.

[Lionheart7004]

Usually we hope to start early.. but experiences tell us that we only reach full attendence after 11pm.

 

Join us early if you love to...we have some regulars there by 2215hrs.

[Poortraveller]

start early then can go back early to mah

 

ok ... will give u a call when there

[Lionheart7004]

Eversince we started the meetup, we had never end before 1. Our last meeting last till 2am while we have one ended close to 4. So ending early does not seem to be a forte.

 

I suggest you catch sleep before you join us.. maybe that is more applicable.

 

Just catch us at the Nasi Padang shophouse at MacPherson Rd which is just steps away from Jackson food centre.
