Sean Lennon recommended Magical Moments of Rhythm by Zakir Hussain in Music (curated)

Album Favorite

"This is a compilation of Zakir playing different concerts, and it blew my mind when I was 16. Its one of the albums I've listened to 1000 times. It's bizarre that that would be something I'd listen to so many times, because it's so sparse - there's only the tabla and occasionally one other instrument, but never more than two at any one time. I once got to see him play with John McLaughlin, they really opened up my whole understanding of rhythm. I felt like my brain was getting bigger, it felt like I was learning about music. It's probably the most sophisticated rhythm I've heard from any country at any time, but it's not show-offy and designed to impress you technically. It has so much soul, it's such passionate music. Some people can't stand listening to it, but it's one of those albums that I could be in a terrible state but still happy to hear it. It relaxes me. That album really opened me up to listening to Ali Farka Touré, Indian classical musicians and so much more."

For me, I find the measure of a book is how memorable it is and I can safely say that this is one that I can clearly remember even though I finished listening to it a number of weeks ago.

I found this rather gripping and was disappointed when I had to stop listening when work and family life got in the way!

The story is intense and fast moving; the plot is engrossing with a number of twists and turns that had me taking a few sharp intakes of breath at times.

The three main characters of Anna, Margot and Rachel are all told by different narrators - this was genius and helped to differentiate between their 'parts' in the story. The narrators did an excellent job and helped keep the tension going from start to finish.

I haven't read or listened to anything by Jack Jordan before but I will certainly be keeping my eyes open in the future and I must thank Simon & Schuster UK Audio and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to Do No Harm and share my thoughts.

The men from Indiana have done it again. They have blended a variety of genres, decades, and themes to make another entertaining albumn. My teenage kids ask for me to replay some songs while there are others that I remember listening to while in the car with my mom when I was a kid. The mashups and humorous change in words and the classic renditions lead to another classic SNC albumn.

Very interesting, but complicated as audiobook
Listened on Audible.co.uk

You really need a lot of background information to make any sense of this. I feel this requires reading, scanning back and digesting the material because it's difficult to follow if you miss one small part. While it is important, I wish I had read this instead. Imagine listening to the Big Short. Very similar themes are raised, but including the tech side of how banks and investors manipulate the system.

This is another one of those books that I liked, but didn't finish for one reason or another. Right now in my life I've had to stop listening to the audiobook so many times that I don't remember names and what's going on. However I absolutely loved what I listened to. Hopefully the next time I go on a long car-trip i'll be able to focus on it and make some headway on it.
