which model is that? and what is the record spinning?

The turntable is a VPI Scoutmaster. The record spinning is Kenny Drew, Undercurrent, a classic Blue Note recently reissued by Music Matters Ltd. in 45 RPM from the original analog stereo master tapes.

Here's a description of the LP from the Music Matters website:

Kenny Drew was an underrated master of bebop. A brilliant pianist who started with the example of Bud Powell and then developed his own sound within the style, in the '50s Drew worked with the likes of Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Buddy DeFranco, Dinah Washington and Art Blakey. By 1960 when he recorded Undercurrent, Drew had already led ten albums of his own, mostly with duos and trios. Oddly enough he only had the opportunity to lead two albums in his life for Blue Note, an early effort from 1953 and the classic Undercurrent. Matched in a quintet with the young firebrand trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and the always-stimulating tenor-saxophonist Hank Mobley, the 32-year old pianist was ready to truly make his mark. All six compositions are his, and in his accompaniment of the passionate horn men and in his soulful solos, Drew shows that he was one of the major hard bop stylists. He would not make another album as a leader until 1973, nine years after he permanently moved to Europe, but Kenny Drew’s playing on Undercurrent, a superb and very well-recorded Blue Note album that is arguably his finest work, is timeless.

Alan, thanks for the comments on the table. It is nice to hear others listen to records. I'm just getting into photography, but I've been addicted to vinyl and turntables for almost ten years. I like the way the Ortofon cartridge looks on your turntable. if you like colored vinyl, look for a copy of the colored vinyl version of Dave Mason's "Alone Together." It is pretty easy to find. The vinyl has a marbled color and it looks like the needle is floating in the clouds when it is spinning...

By the way, your photos are amazing. It is great inspiration for me as I get sucked into photography.
