What is spinning?

I listened to music for the first time to night since sunday. I swear I almost cried with joy. Mmmmm guess I still do love music. What? anyhow.

Mr. Lif, I Phantom

BlackStar

Ahmad Jamal, Portolio. Artist like him is why I dont have much varieties in my collection. He is by far my favortie pianoist. Can't believe I miss the chance of experiencing his performance this summer. But this Mono recording will do until then.

Ummagumma. Wow, I havent spun this album in almost 2 years. I remembered this LP set being real noisy, but my URCM took care of that in 3 minutes.

peace.

You're not alone with those feelings of joy. When I was really busy, at the start of August, I did not listen to the main system but once I let the needle hit the record again after the abscence I could have shed a tear or two. Yeah, we sure love music.:6:

Anyway, after a day of working in the garden I have poured myself a cold one and listening to:

"The Blue Seeds - ST."

Have a great weekend

Peace

Approaching a restful weekend at cruising speed...

Count Basie/Tony Bennett - Basie Swings Bennett Sings

Ultra kewl big band sounds plus the incomparable Bennett on vocals for a Saturday afternoon. :cool:

The last thing was.:yesnod:
Gershwin -- Rhapsody In Blue -- The Jazz Album -- Simon Rattle:smilewinkgrin:

A little something perfect for being awake too early on a Sunday morning...

Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges: Blues Summit

Its actually a two LP set where the first album is Ellington/Hodges: Back to Back and the second one is Ellington/Hodges: Side by Side. Released together as a double on Verve in 1973. Nothing but laid back jazz blues played with style and distinction.

Well, after a morning of spinning 78 RPM shellac, mostly old Blue Notes of Art Hodes and Thelonious Monk, my afternoon will consist of CD's:

Rhys Chatham's "Die Donnergotter" (The Thundergods). Rhys is from the Glenn Branca Guitar Army school of composition - from whence come Sonic Youth - but this disc also has some compositions for brass.

Nurse with Wound's "Acts of Senseless Beauty" and "Thunder Perfect Mind". Gotta be my favorite band! If you buy one and hate it, try again - they're all different.

The Joseph Holbrooke trio, which doesn't have a person named Joseph Holbrooke in it. Instead it's guitarist Derek Bailey, bassist Gavin Bryars and percussioninst Tony Oxley. My pick for jazz disc of the year. Essentially unrecorded free jazz "supergroup" from the 1960's, now performing anew. Free jazz is about the performers listening to one another, and these three must have ears the size of Texas.

And anyone remember the old nighttime tv soap Twin Peaks? I found the soundtrack to that show at a garage sale yesterday. Spooky! Weird show, too. I've never seen so many season-ending cliffhangars in one episode. But art in tv was never meant to last....

I loved it and still do. I have the whole lot on VHS boxed set.
The Soundtrack is a fantastic piece of Vinyl, and gets a regular outing. If you like Angelo Badalamenti's stuff, try: Booth and the Bad Angel. It's him and the lead singer from James.Great stuff.

Lazy sunday afternoon spinning:

"Romney Getty - Fill in your Gray"

"Tom Russell - Modern Art"

"Bo Ramsey - In the weeds".

Peace

Denver is resting around mid 60's outside and couldnt ask for much more. Will be playing Jazz as usual, but going to stay away from Sonny Rollin like Hardbop.

Wynton Kelly - Kelly Great
Horace Parlan - No Blues
Cannoball Adderley - Spontaneous Combustion

also, Peter Townshend/Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix. I'm really feeling this album. I can't wait to play it again soon.

Thanks for the tip. I have the entire show on tape as well. A friend of mine has the first season on DVD and in the bonus footage section, it has the guy that played the little dwarf... the man from the other place, or whatever he was called. He was talking about how he made his voice sound so weird. He read the lines and words backwards and then they ran the tape in reverse. The title of this footage was "How to Speak Red Room". LOL! kcor s'tel!!! :)

Yesterday I listened to Tom Russell and Barrence Whitfield's "Cowboy Mambo". Fun stuff.

A mellow day of relaxation after a morning that yielded some great finds. At the moment the spinning continues with Black Uhuru~Reggae Greats (Remastered Ed.)

Common Sense - One day it'll all make Sense
I havent had a chance to spin side 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12 of The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz. I recommend this 6 LP set to anyone who's starting to show interest in Jazz. You can get this box in great condition for under $10 fairly easily. Last one I saw went for under $4, I think I paid $8. Almost 90 tracks performed by more than 50 major artists.

Karl Berger - With Silence LP

Dub Trio - Exploring the Dangers of. CD
Bought a CD for first time in months. I heard it at a local shop I buy records from. It's always great to be turned on to new stuff. I'm gonna be listening to this alot for next few days.

Got the internet radio going today ... currently streaming away on DI.fm's deep house channel.

Might switch over to one of DJ Ben Watt's stellar Lazy Dog deep house compilations in a little bit.

The wife and I were in line at starbucks today, and they have those cd tower displays
we all see, so I go over and have a look, and there's 1 copy of The Who--Who's Next,
cd, I read the cover, and there are so many Who hits on there, I forgot how good
that LP was, With over 700 cd's in the collection, I don't know how this was not a part
of it. Great tunes, and I never heard of the producer, but some really good sounds
coming out of the speakers, for work done back in 70/71, not to bad.

On deck for tonight is a serious double header...

Round one: The Legendary Oscar Peterson Trio Live at the Blue Note

Round Two: Encore at the Blue Note: The Legendary Oscar Peterson Trio

Laid back toones on a Monday morning:

Metallica - ... And Justice For All

What better way to prepare for an afternoon conference call than to mix some speed-metal into the playlist? Nothing like talking to a client with "The Frayed Ends of Sanity" still buzzing in my head! :cornut:

This particular album culminated a lot of what Metallica had been pointing towards in their previous albums. It's a sprawling metal epic that constantly teeters on the verge of completely breaking down from its sheer indulgence. But, it holds together just enough to create some compelling listening.

I personally regard this album's immediate predecessor, Master of Puppets, as the greatest metal album ever. But, for whatever reason right now I'm more in the mood for the less coherent spiraling-out-of-control ride that ... And Justice For All offers up.

As a side note, this is one of the worst recorded albums in recent memory. It's got a dry and tinny sound with no warmth whatsoever. The LP version crammed all 66 minutes onto two sides via Direct Metal Mastering, which forced the levels way down. Neither format could redeem this recording.

Right now its Robbie Fulks ~ Georgia Hard

He makes me laugh :)

...sh<a>it can this thread because it's making me crazy, but I have to give you proper cred for the Editors and Echo. Great stuff for sure, although I never heard that last one.
