| Rediscover CTI Records & Jazz Record History Thanks for the Heads Up on this site Jim.I am not a huge fan of the CTI sound.They did release some phenomenal LPs (Jim Hall Concierto comes to mind),but my main beef is with their arrangements,which are not to my taste.I like their funkier style ... | |
| Clarence White anyone? I'm a big fan of his early work.Pure Bluegrass "The Kentucky Colonels". | |
| Cheap Trick brings back the 8-Track Banging on stuff is the universal first attempt to fix anything. | |
| Is this Normal? Zeppelin IV LP sounds horrible I recently bought a copy of Houses of The Holy with a SMAS prefix.That would be a Capitol Record Club issue.On the back it's printed "sold under license from Atlantic Recording Corporation". The front cover is stickered with the Band name and titl... | |
| Indian Music? Ali Akbar Khan and L. Subramaniam both have LPs on Water Lily Acoustics.Sheila Chandra with or without Monsoon is really britpop.Stick to something a bit more serious. | |
| Jennifer Warnes 20th Ann Famous Blue Raincoat RI It seems Leonard Cohen is too depressing for the average audiophile.I find that uplifting in a strange way. | |
| Nick Drake and others like him I saw Tim Buckley live three times.None of his records come close to what he could do live.His singing was very improvisational.Jazzlike.While I think Nick Drake was talented,I wouldn't put him in the same league with Tim Buckley. | |
| Nick Drake and others like him It was Heroin for dad and Wine related drowning in the Mississippi for the son.Both activities may be judged somewhat suicidal. | |
| Jackie Mittoo...best album? Orchestra Baobab,The Ethiopiques are two contenders.The fantastic CD comp of golden age Afro pop "The music In My Head" which has several cuts of Etoille Dakar featuring the young Youssou N'Dour.Also a contemporary of Mittoo ,Ernest Ranglin a guit... | |
| Canned Heat Live at the Kaliedescope Lounge Lilith is the Russian re-ish label.I have their excellent LP of Tim Hardin out takes from his first and second LPs.Kaliedoscope is a straight re-ish of "Live at The Topanga Corral".The Corral was on the top of Topanga Canyon Road between Calabasas... | |
| Canned Heat Live at the Kaliedescope Lounge What's the title and label on that one?I have numerous CH live LPs but they seem to lack info.I recently got a VHS tape of "Stamping Ground" a documentary of a festival in Rotterdam with Canned Heat,Floyd,Dr. John,The Airplane,Family,T Rex and oth... | |
| Studio vs live Almost all Jazz seems better live.Live it's recorded Midnight to Two (Musicians regular hours).Studio recordings in the daytime,when musicians would normally be sleeping may be bio-rhytmically challenged.That's just my theory. | |
| MF Beatle Boxes are awfully dear. Don't know if everyone just"forgot".Maybe they just had a different opinion than "several reviewers".As far as "conventional wisdom" Nixon was re-elected by a landslide,go figure.While I don't feel anyone could accuse me of being a Beatle fan I ha... | |
| Looking for some Art Pepper recommendations I'm a bit partial to the one called"Early Art".It's a Blue Note "twofer style" re-ish I acquired in the mid 70s.It is Quintet/Sextet style from sessions in 1956 From Intro,Jazz West and the Score labels.Heavily under the Yardbird influence (always... | |
| New ECM Vinyl Grimace if it doesn't say anywhere on the jacket that's the first clue.I'm always amazed how many people tell me they think ECM is so good.I find the music on the label for the most part bland,and the sound sterile.The notable exception being Jose... |
