Instrumental Music
 

I'm looking for some study music. Have a couple cd's worth Sounds of Wood and Steel- it's all guitar music. Do you have any other fav's with this kinda music? Guitar, jazz, piano, (relatively contemporary music of all instruments w/o lyrics) etc..

Yo Vig,
Exc pick of Sounds of Steel & Wood!
One of my personal faves...skip vol II; it sucks.

Some other picks for your perusal, from the dozens that I have or
come to mind:
-Best of Bill Evans, (cool, smooth, '50s/'60s piano) on Verve recs.
-Celtic Twilight 2: sorta new age, but very well done if you like
Scot/Celtic tunes and v. lil' singing.
-Celtic Horizons by Phil Coulter...good composer and piano player on
Shanachie records. (That label has a helluva catalog of that genre')
-Miles Davis, Kind of Blue...a freakin Classic.
-Stan Getz, Finest Hour
-And George Winston...Windam Hill. Don't laugh: no one here,
combined, can play piano as well as he does.
-Seamus Egan, When Juniper Sleeps. Very talented composer and
plays everything. Celtic based, but modern.
-Beyond the Missouri Sky by Chas.Hayden & Pat Metheny
-Bach Variations, smoothed out and orchestrated, on Windham Hill.

Any/all Beethoven, for my dough; my Fave Classical composer, but
you may not dig him, yet. Try piano sonatas 31 and 30, in that order, of his 32 p. sonatas, played by anyone.

And, give Pandora.com a try: their free version puts a few "albums" together, for you, after punching in your "wants" and tastes, etc.

I think you need satellite radio. I installed XM at home last week, and there are some awesome Jazz channels between 65 and 72 I think. I just leave that on. :thumbup:

My favorite CD to study to: Steve Haun - Midnight Echos

Another good artist is Grover Washington Jr.

when you say instrumental music, do you mean like this?
