| 1st Album you Ever Owned? CTA was one of my earliest. Chicago and BS&T represented the best early marriage of brass and rock. Unfortunately, they both soon went "pop" to chase big bucks. Neither group ever matched their first 2 albums (yes, including Al Kooper's BS&... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alexatpos, thanks for these important (to me) links. I didn't know about the video-only Royal Hall concert. Now I know Coryell preceded (and was replaced by) Al Di Meola in the trio that would soon record the legendary "Friday Night in San Franc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Forgot to thank you for the great Coryell links. "Yesterdays" is just gorgeous. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, absolutely. "European Impressions," recorded in 1978. Side 1 was live at Montreux, Side 2 was studio work.Do I love this album? Over the years, I picked up several mint back-up copies "just in case." The Arista vinyl puts you in the front... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman, Coryell was a virtuoso, and he didn't seek acclaim. He just kept pursuing his love of the music, the beauty of its structure and his reverence for its roots (be they European or African).I wasn't a big fusion fan. The performance that i... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Not surprising: "Meet the Beatles"Surprising: "Meddle" (2 "first albums" in 100+ posts)"Meddle" had kind of a cult following when it came out (my freshman year), but I would have figured it was still pretty obscure in the grand scheme of things. ... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? They're givin' you a number and takin' 'way your name | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @puppyt “Alvin & The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles”. One of my favorites among many enjoyable posts. Wow some of these memories crack me up. I don't remember any of the Chipmunks other than Xmas songs. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @millercarbonVery enjoyable post! Have to agree "Nilsson Schmilsson" has stood the test of time better than "Yellow Brick Road." At least you had them both early on.BTW I recall hearing way back then that pressed cardboard egg containers made a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @isochronism Your mention of Emily Remler has me a little choked up. I was a big fan of Larry Coryell, especially live. I hadn't heard of Remler until I saw them playing a lengthy set together about 12 feet in front of me in the late 80's (Corye... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I mentioned the first album I ever "owned" - jazz trumpet - was a gift from my dad in 1964.But it wasn't until early '69 that I actually had enough disposable income to buy one for myself: "Blood, Sweat & Tears" 2nd album (untitled).After that... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @mijostynI was thinking the same thing: Meet the Beatles is running away with this for now. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @tvadYou might be the only human to have ever purchased the Partridge Family and then ELP in succession! | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Yikes - the Singing Nuns. I had forgotten them for good reason. 1963: "Dominique." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Great clip. It has to be tough not having lips. |
