    That is an excellent LP. When I purchased a new TT and committed myself to actually getting a decent sounding system, that LP was in my first retail order.

    Being from south of Lake Charles, there is a ton of music from that area that I think is really under appreciated or mis-classified.

    Anyone want to caption that ESP cover? The look on Miles' face is interesting, to say the least.

    That is awesome.

    I don't listen to these guys any more, but this one was my favorite.

    @BurtThomasWard I can help you with Duke. I would steer you to Archtop's recommendations, but also to the albums he made with Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane in 1962. The Hawkins one is a desert island disc for me. I'm not as big a Trane fan as most of you here, but that one is excellent, too. The Newport '56 album which put him back on the map is overrated but essential just for the famous 27 chorus tenor sax solo by Paul Gonsalves in "Diminuendo and Crescendo In Blue". There are also DVDs out there with concert performances from the early '60s. European TV broadcasts.

    Of course he also created amazing stuff in the 30s and 40s but the sound quality is inferior and some of the re-mastering efforts have been criticized on this very forum, so caveat emptor.

    As for me I've been plowing through the 34 disc Herbie Hancock box, listening to albums that I never knew existed. Headhunters was familiar, but everything else was new to me, and after 6 or 7 albums in a row, I need something else. First time I've listened to any fusion in a while. Some of it's great, and some of it isn't, but 34 CDs for $75 means that not all of it has to be great. I am looking forward to getting to his robot music. That was fun stuff back in the 80s. But I think I need an acoustic guitar after all those synthesizers.

    That 'Trane record with Duke is one I forgot, which is odd because every time I go to Newbury Comics there's a copy or three in the meager jazz LP bin. On a related note, Monk recorded "Plays Duke Ellington" in 1955 with Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke and while Duke ain't on it, it's a good 'un.

    Now Herbie I do know. It can be a bit, how should I put it, too much with the robotics. And I'm usually really fond of that era in music.

    I've never let sound quality get in the way of enjoying some good music. In fact, I haven't even filled what is my prefered listening equipment, so I'm breaking forum rules just by writing those two words in a sentence.

    Thank you, I've added your suggestions to my list. Duke was such a fascinating character, I've always meant to get more into his music and now seems like as good a time as any.

    Perhaps this is a sign that I'm finally growing up... ;)

    That Herbie box is great, I bought it at a deep discount 2 or 3 years ago and although not all of it’s great, much of the rest is and it’s and enjoyable ride overall. I’d also highly recommend the much smaller box of the Mwandishi period albums, which I’d say are essential.

    Ryan Adams and The Infamous Stringdusters at Newport Festival 2016. They opened with a Slayer cover and closed with Sabbath. I must get the complete set. Love this!

    This is a cool record, the oh so sweet Philly soul and R & B. As good as
    Hall and Oates did it in the 70's, but swinging back into pop, where
    De Ville swung back into Little Richard, James Brown, and Stonesy
    rock and roll. And could Mink sing. Produced by Jack Nitzsche and
    the Immortals providing backup vocals.

    So last night i drove from Corpus Christi to jist outside New Orleans.

    I played:

    Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
    The Blues Brothers - Briefcase Full of Blues
    The Blues Brothers - Made In America.

    Made In America is the best unknown sequel to a classic album ever. The 2nd and last with John Belushi, its almost as good as the first.

    Whos Making Love is a top 10 Blues Brothers track for me. Killer.


    So aroubd 130am ny uncle took over. Made it jist east of Atlanta.

    This afternoon I drove from there and played:

    Deep Purple:
    Who Do We Think We Are
    Burn
    Stormbringer
    Come Taste the Band

    ACDC:
    Dirty Deeds (Australian)
    Let There Be Rock ((Australian)
    TNT ((Australian)

    The Deep Purple albums just are so great. Not a weak link in em. I really and loving those 4 that I played today. At the moment they are my favorites.

    Right now we have a 5 hour drive home after a long week on the road.

    Back In Black is on now. Powerage, Flick or FTATR will most likely be next.

    Peace. :)
