playing another reissue now - "yokhal' inkomo" by the mankuku quartet. choice jazz lp from south africa, hard to come by in a good version until this release. on mr bongo. worth the $
|
tia blake - folk songs and ballads

@reubent I am here in ohio as well. several colleagues called off work today due to the power situation just north of cincinnati. praying for everyone. i kept thinking ours was going to go but we lucked out as well.
cool to see people checking out wamono groove! i think there are three or four volumes of "wamono", but this is the only one that i've listened to in depth so far.
tonight i am listening to dave pike's "on a gentle note." very good and moody electric vibraphone jazz, similar in feeling to the early 70s roy ayers style. pike is one of those guys who was on a ton of records but for whatever reason isn't mentioned much outside of niche circles (herbie mann fanatics, vibraphone obsessives etc). of his solo albums, this one is exceptional imho. just a great record that's sort of flown under a lot of people's (the people i know anyway) radars.

wamono groove - this is a comp of deep japanese jazz-funk fusion featuring koto and shakuhachi played alongside your standard guitar, drums, bass, vibes, keys etc. really good

|
bernard parmigiani - de natura sonorum
|
satoshi & makoto - cz-5000 sounds and sequences vol 1
incredibly beautiful record. from the bandcamp release page:
We write to you with the conclusions of our investigation into the synthesized audio transmissions picked up by the deep space telescope at regular intervals since 1986. The source was traced to two brothers in Kawasaki, Japan, who identified themselves as Satoshi and Makoto. When we raided the building, they were huddled around a synthesizer manufactured by the Casio Corporation, model number CZ-5000.
In their archives we discovered a wealth of colourful and ear-pleasing material created entirely using this music-making device in the early 1990s. We asked them to provide copies so that we could make these compositions available to the public for the first time. They handed us a compact disc that bore the handwritten code “ST006”.

another from the "dollar bin tranquilizers" pile: arthur lyman "hawaiian sunset"
|
the versatile henry mancini
most people don't care about records like this, so they all cost a dollar. guys my age say it's it's boring, gen xers the same. a boomer might say "it's my grandfather's music". but a clean copy of this one or "mr lucky goes latin" or pink panther is an absolutely mesmerizing stereo experience. this one is my favorite of the bunch - otherworldly organ-driven "mood music", enchanted and blessed. in my book it's up there with "twilight memories" by the three suns for sheer "wow" factor
|
@bkeske i haven't heard that david newman. looks cool. his "lonely avenue" with roy ayers is an outstanding record
|
freddy fender - before the next teardrop falls
