An ongoing playlist of what I am listening to, either at the moment or most recently, whether it's a vinyl LP, a CD, an internet stream, or something on the iPod. Classical, folk, jazz, roots, blues, Gospel, Celtic music, ancient music, early music, modern music, post-modern music, world music, Texas music, red dirt music, sublime music, annoying music... it's all here (sans commentary).

Disc 2 of 3.
THE ART OF THE NETHERLANDS
The Early Music Consort of London
David Munrow, dir.
Seraphim via HMV
This was a posthumous release (1976), immediately following the tragic death of David Munrow. As such, it stands as a memorial to this gifted musician and musicologist, who loved jazz, British folk music (and folk-rock), and homemade instruments. Without a doubt, he was the man most responsible for the resurgence of Early Music in Britain and on the Continent, as well as the USA.
I know my musical tastes/appreciations were forever changed by this man's passionate work.
Any of his works (especially those with his Early Music Consort of London) are highly recommended.
