What is spinning?

[musicman1999]

I have the Sinatra at the Sands cd that he recorded with the Basie orchestra in 1966, in fact i believe your album was recorded as the band was warming up the audience before Frank came on. It is very well recorded as well and is just a great album,seek it out.

Bill, you are correct sir.

Trip Daddys: Too Much, Too Fast

Gotta pimp some local guys. They been doing the rockabilly, roots, blues, punk thing for a while. If ya like Reverend Horton Heat and that kinda stuff, you'd probably like these guys. They just put out their fourth CD. Not sure it really captures all of what you get when you pack yourself into the little corner bars you can catch these fellas playin' regularly, but it gets a lot of the point across.

Here's a short little tune in case you wanna here 'em.

Did you get it on wax? Not the greatest recording or music in the world, but I LOVE that album, but I'm a sucker for GG. With that in mind, I can't wait for the reissue of Idle Moment. I should get 2 copies.

nope, on CD, but I'm looking out for the vinyl version too

I just love that intro of the show (and the music that's following)

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Yeah, it's a fun album. I love it. That album isnt too hard to find on wax, as long as you keep your eyes open. I think I paid like $20 M-.

Just playing some smooth tunedge.

AIR - Pocket Symphony (white wax).

Back in the saddle! After two weeks on complete, nightmarish hell at work say hello to the bad guy. After 180+ hours of work with little to show for it I'm ready for some time off--and nothing like a little Jonny C and Ken Burrell SACD to start of an afternoon the right way.

All due respect to the Rudy Van Gelder series but this one smokes 'em...that smooth analog goodness really highlights some of the harshness of the remixes.

Hey M,

How is that album? These days, I almost prefer Prestige label over BN. That looks like something I should jump on.

CD sounds great!

Roxy Music

Manifesto

In the mood for some music from my youth. Sitting around wondering what the hell was I thinking for most of my life.

[Mr Peabody]

Vinyl: Supertramp - with Sister Moonshine
Pure Prairie League - with Amy. Interesting mix on this album, the acoustic guitars have a bright or metallic sound to them and on some songs it sounds like some one is playing an electric guitar with no amp, they just got the mic close enough to pick up the strump. Good album though.

My neighbor was unloading some CD's, $2.00 a disc. I bought a 5 disc Elvis box set for $10.00. I got about 20 other titles but haven't had the chance to go through them all. I did listen to a group called the Bluegrass Cardinals. I really like the album, I think it was a Best of or some collection of their stuff. Very tight harmony and vocal interaction and some of the songs must have been recorded with the band live in the studio, excellent sound quality. That ole fiddle sounded like it was right in my room.

I also spun my new Within Temptations a couple times now and Darkwell, I forgot the title.

[bobsticks]

What a completely lazy Sunday.

On deck for the night:
Morphine~Cure For Pain
Clifford Brown & Max Roach
The Pogues~Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash
Sparklehorse~It's A Wonderful Life

but at the moment a little MM&W

[Bernd]

.....crisp autumn day and I am listening to this:

"Jack Savoretti - Between The Minds"

One of those records that defies believe. That guy is only 23 years old, but he writes with the maturity of an old soul. If melodic tunes and a voice forged from honey and whiskey is your thing - give it a go.

Peace

Bernd, good to hear from you again.

Last evening I listen to one of the most enjoyable new (to me) pieces of music I've heard in quite a while: William Alwyn's String Quartet No.2 "Spring Waters" ...



Oh sorry: I forget that most people around here aren't interested in chamber music ...

you philistines!!

Thank you Bill,

Took some time out, life,love,food and travel to keep the soul healthy. How is you? I hope well.
Oh, yeah what is spinning:

"Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight"

and

"Hot Hot Heat - Happiness Ltd."

What If Pink Floyd Was A C&W Band?

Quite interesting.

Bert

[Mr Peabody]

G. Collier, not bad.

Last night Doobie Bros. then Vince Gill. It was interesting that this Vince Gill sounded really good, not reference, but good. I think what I liked so much is how open and spread out the sound stage was. A lot of commercial modern recordings must use some type of compression.

Tonight, Infectious Grooves to get me down the road on the treadmill. Oh, and Collier's samples as I type.

[Bert]

For the first time. I usually like his stuff although it usually has to grow on me.

Cheers,
Bert

[Bernd]

...round for dinner tonight and to sample some of the red I bought in Italy.
So taking a short break from cooking and listening to this glorious new disc:

"Band of Horses - Cease to Begin"

5* from me. If you like their debut, you will like this one. Outstanding.

Peace

[basite]

NP:

George Benson & Al Jarreau - Givin' it up

it ain't bad, but I more like Benson's old stuff, like give me the night or so...

so:
next up:
George Benson - Give me the night

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

[Mr Peabody]

My wife picked me up from work and Styx, Grand Illusion was in the CD player. I don't care if I ever hear Come Sail Away again but I had forgotten what a great album that is.

Had time to spin a couple vinyls from the last show I went to. Bob Seger, Like A Rock which has a few good songs but definitely not on par with his 70's stuff. And... before shutting down for the night Buck Owens. You know sometimes you have to take a hit of the real stuff. I'm always amazed by the stuff that gets played on C&W stations posing as C&W, the young stars always pay omage to the pioneers yet many young people don't know what real C&W sounds like because it doesn't get played anymore.

May be jumpin the gun a little cause these haven't arrived yet but . .

Astrahan Cafe- Anonar Brahem (ECM)
Afternoon Ragas, Live in Rotterdam- Nikhil Banerjee (Raga)
Hits for Brits- Harry Allen (Challenge)

That last one is some old school blowing ala Ben Webster or Coleman Hawkins with very good group accompaniment. I heard that on the samples. My bud tells me it's a sonic gem, too. Bobby Sticks, you might be into this. Jrhyme, you too.

Cool, I'll give that one the look-up. Speaking of old school horn blowin', Lee Morgan's Sidewinder is slithering through the speakers as I type. It must be said that this recording falls into the treble-hot Rudy Van Gelder archtype but the interplay between Lee and the oft-undervalued Joe Henderson is outstanding.

Has anyone here heard of this group called:

Alter Bridge? A kid at work was telling me about it and sounded pretty good, but he also like Creed and DreamTheater. But overall he has good taste in music.

NP: Earl Hines - Plays Hits he Missed D2D.
Becoming a HUGE D2D fan. Forget about SACD, D2D needs a massive revival!

PS - Damn, it's nice to see Bernd around here again.
How you been, B?

Whattup Jay,

Alterbridge is the rhythm section of Creed with some other schmoe as a vocalist. They're completely forgettable although Mark Tremonti is a decent guitarist for that genre. I would bet a fair amount of dosh that you'll hate them.

...And yeah, it's good to have Brother Bernd around again.

Here's a first: a non-music "What's Spinning?" post. What's goin' down you ask? The crystalline sound of San Jose meeting the Wings at the Joe...aaaahhh, you can almost smell Belle Isle.
