All serious aside, I have a crazy number of trombone-featured records.
@sbank what are some of your favorites?

@spiritofradio A few that come to mind are: Count Basie - Basie Jam (J.J. Johnson). awesome hifi bargain on Pablo! Louis Armstrong - Plays King Oliver Tom Waits - Swordfish Trombones Miles Davis - Birth of the Cool (J.J. Johnson & Kai Winding) |
Kai & JJ Baby! Yeah, I have all of those except the Tom Waits. I’ve heard it because I was curious but should revisit it with an open mind. The Basie is great I agree. So, do you know the work of Bill Watros? I think I have all or nearly all his records. Just love what he does. Writes good charts too. |
@spiritofradio It's got some trombone and plenty of horns. It's a weird record, very 30s-40s German caberet vibe. Not something for everyday, but once in a while it's good when you're in an avantgarde mood. JJ/Kai and Bill Evans sounds like something I should check out.
At the moment, mellowing out with: Lori Carson - Shelter |
Trombone, a 6th grade parental forced march into doom…. i think i knew enough notes to be 4th or 5th out of nine…it was ugly….. I can give a strong second to the Louis, especially the Classic Records pressing…. goosebump material for sure…. James do you have the Muai Revealed app ? we love it. Also check out Tin Roof restaurant, freaking awesome grinds….cheap by Maui standards… |
Welcome back @maggiefan8 ! **************** café banlieue tango à trois arben spahiu_violin peter wöpke_violoncello peter ludwig_piano 2013 Farao Classics (Germany)
its wonderful music in a really nice trio format with excellent SQ

Iron Butterfly "Heavy" A very early pressing, just had to listen to it once more before filing it. Not such good SQ, but what a fun filled time of the memory banks. David Crosby "If I could Only Remember My Name" I never bought this when it was first on the market, though I wanted it. But reading about the newly released Anniversary Edition on this thread, I bought it. Arrived yesterday, just played it. Fantastic! Great album, great SQ, and a very good piece of vinyl, both flat and quiet. It sure is nice getting information and ideas from this thread. Thanks guys! |

@puffball08 - In early 1983, I saw a 16 year old Annabella Lwin with Bow Wow Wow at a show in Cleveland, opening for an also very young Red Hot Chili Peppers. Man, what a show! Stuck with me all these years... |

@j_husker ya man Savoy ! Street Corner Talking on the streamer, adding it to the LP quest… |
Luther Vandross-Busy Body Side B SQ Audiophile The Knack-...but the little girls understand Side 2 Martha Davis-Policy Side 2 Playboy Jazz Festival-VA(Elektra 60298) Side C SQ Audiophile ZZ Hill-I'm A Blues Man Side 2 Deep Purple-Nobody's Perfect Side 4 Fleetwood Mac-Live Side 3 Rosanne Cash-Rhythm & Romance Side 2 Luther Vandross and The Playboy Jazz Festival just made Audiophile Status. The bass weight and drive was the deciding factor on Busy Body. Nancy Wilson's vocals were recorded with body and clarity not often heard on a live recording. |
Welcome back @pierce911 Glad you’re feeling better. |

@reubent It’s too bad Bow Wow Wow didn’t last very long, something like 3 years. But it seemed they wrote and performed everything they were capable of in that time. After Lwin was booted from the group in September ‘83, that pretty much was the end of the band. The lawsuit brought by Lwin’s family over exploitation against the record label and the other band members certainly didn’t help. I too was fortunate enough to catch them sometime in early ‘83 at, as I recall, the Whiskey A Go-Go. I think they were the headliners that night. Adam Ant was no doubt smiling as the Wows imploded. |
@reubent And strangely Adam Ant had his own day of reckoning some years later. |
@tomic601 - I have a mono re-issue copy of "Pet Sounds". It should be a good version, but it just doesn't do it for me. What am I doing wrong? This is a serious question. My local audio group friends think it is the greatest album ever. I must not be doing it right. I'm so conflicted that I'm thinking about taking it back to Plaid Room and trading it for an Adele record. Help me, please... |
@spiritofradio +1 Café Banlieue. Yes, I shared it on 3/21. I'll spin it tomorrow. |
@reubent Like the new Taylor Swift reissue, you must play it at 45 rpm, not 33. The switch is that funny retro tech looking thingamabob on the left side of your record player. |
@spiritofradio - I'll give that a try. Thanks! |
@reubent Don’t mention it. |
@tomic601 - It's been sitting in the "to trade" pile for months. Just can't do it... Yet. I'm going to give it one more try... |
