In September Mary Gauthier’s album Drag Queens In Limousines will be released on LP (vinyl for you youngins’) for the first time.
Also in September, Ray Charles’ Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music and it’s follow-up Volume Two. Both retail for $25.99, and from a new-to-me label (Tangerine), so their quality remains to be seen. Used copies aren’t that hard to find, and at minimal cost.
@jafant: In addition to the 27-CD boxset of Dylan’s 1974 Live Recordings that Sony Records is issuing on September 20th (27 CD’s !), Third Man Records is issuing a 3-LP set of (some of) those recordings that augments the original 2-LP set from 1974, with no song duplication between the two. The catch is that the set is available only to Third Man Records "Vault" subscribers. The good news is that a quarterly subscription costs $75, and that subscription entitles one to the LP set at no extra charge. So you enroll and pay now (deadline July 31st), receive the LP set, and if you wish not renew your quarterly subscription at the end of the three months. A 3-LP set for $75, not bad at all.
Perpetual Mutations by, Gavin Harrison (King Crimson, Porcupine Tree) and Antoine Fafard (one of the best jazz-fusion bass players on the planet).
With:
Jean-Pierre Zanella: Soprano Saxophone Dale Devoe: Trombones and Trumpets Joasia Cieslak: Cello Isodora Filipovic: Cello Reinaldo Ocando: Marimba & Vibraphone Pier Luigi Salami: Piano and Rhodes Tadeusz Palosz: Handpans and Log Drum Ally Storch: Violin Rodrigo Escalona: Oboe
Haven’t heard the entire recording yet, but what I have heard sounds pretty killer. Incredible musicianship, great melodies, interesting textures, complex and creative.
Kind of straddles the line between fusion and prog.
