'Touch Me', like a number of their hits, was written by Robby Krieger. It gets an extra star for the Curtis Amy sax solo at the end.
Art Blakey w Lee Morgan Hank Mobley Bobby Timmons Jymie Merritt At The jazz corner of the world. (AKA Birdland ) Pretty straight ahead blowing session. Nice live feel to this ....
Probably my favorite shoegaze band and probably my favorite lp if there’s , though last years album was a close second. I love it when an old band pulls off a miracle like that.
I only have Resistence Is Futile buy him and I do love it. Would you say this is the next to listen too of his stuff or is there something else you might recommend? Thanks in advance
I wondered about that because he isn't on the front cover. It's a good date though and does sound really good. NP Junko Onishi - Tea Times (Sony) SACD A trio recording from 2016 and it's a cracker. She reminds me of Jessica Williams, a lot of fire. She's not well known in the U.S. but she's a force to be reckoned with no doubt. I have several of her cds including her first and they all have a lot of energy.
I love this record , one of my first jazz purchases long ago so I may not be the most unbiased reviewer here
Late 60s recording from the UK with a wonderfully wide range of songs. Some top UK musicians meet some of the Dukes Men; Ray Nance does some lovely violin work here But the main action is in tenors.
This was my first exposure to them in the 90s but Pygmalion was what really got me turned on to them. I haven’t yet checked out the new album they did, been meaning to though.
Yes, Resistence Is Futile is excellent! He has a lot of great albums, but here's a few I'd highly recommend: Functional Arrhythmias The Mancy Of Sound The Tao of Mad Phat: Fringe Zones Black Science Phase Space All his recent stuff on Pi Recordings is very good and easy to find. If you head to his website, he has a lot of older recordings available for download (they are mp3's, but a nice way to sample some of the material)
My first "non-jazz" post. Promise I'll keep it to a minimum (no more than 1/month). Funny that when an electronic album comes out it sounds futuristic. But some years after they always sound more dated than other type of music. These guys from Austria created a compilation of remixes and tracks from others which such great taste, that it sounds like an album of their own. They keep electronics to a minimum, choosing the real instruments sound - specially on the percussion department. It's a reference in Europe. One of my best purchases. Have a listen. Twenty years after it still sounds great. (bottom left - "made in Portugal" )
My newborn decided he wanted to stay up all night, so needless to say my wife and I are going to be dragging @$$ today. Here's a good soundtrack for being up at 7am when you don't want to be. Ornette Coleman - Change of the Century (1960) Original US pressing on Atlantic Records
There is a 10" and three different 12" pressings of this on EmArcy, all with different cover art. So odd. Erroll Garner - Garnering (1954) Original US 12" pressing on EmArcy Records
Thanks for this OJR, I just showed my wife this post and played her a snippet of this album you played at 7am and my stock rose. ( I love the album but would be out in the snow if I played it in this context)
“I got the Heebies” revisiting some selections from: Louis Armstrong - The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings I’ve only ever made a few download purchases from iTunes and this was one of them. I wonder if Louis really did drop the lyric sheet during the Heebies session as purported.
Steve Coleman - Synovial Joints (2015) Recorded with a group of 21, this is probably his most complex work so far. Beautiful soundscapes, almost like a jazz opera. A masterpiece, imho.
I think Steve Coleman’s most recent record, Morphogenesis, might be one of his most accessible. No drums on most tracks, which works way better than I thought it would.
It's essentially a Japanese only release that has had several releases, I now have the most recent, the Blu-Spec CD2. The LP that the cd reissues had only '58 material; the cd release added '55 material. The material has been released in the US too, initially much of it as part of "Jazz Track" and it has all appeared in the Columbia box sets. The Japanese cd differs from the US LP and then CD with the same title; that one included the Jazz at the Plaza material. Here's the detail for the second Japanese CD, the Blu-Spec CD2 is the third Japanese release. Miles Davis - 1958 Miles
Ronnie Boykins - The Will Come, Is Now Pretty sure I could listen to the title track from this album on repeat indefinitely.
