Got some Hot Tuna going, show whose date I don't recall in the moment. If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack!
Survival Unit III from the Brotzmann 3 Days in Oslo box Joe McPhee: tenor saxophone & pocket trumpet Fred Lonberg-Holm: cello & electronics Michael Zerang: drums Recorded live in 2009 2 pieces totalling 25 minutes. Harsh sometimes even abrasive but in the end as great as this stuff gets. McPhee is an all-time great but Lonberg-Holm is again the secret weapon. Like nothing in this world - destined for ears like mine or a few wide open hearts & minds. Stunning viscerally intense music.
I can't believe you didn't already own Jerry's After Midnight, the Pure Jerry volume, Terrapin not so limited edition '89 show, and Joy. Also, I got the same Pollack trading card as you. Boring! I like the Fall Tour shirt, but I can't wear it because I didn't go.
Sorry. Does that make me a chomper ? I started getting back into collecting cds again after many years of CDR trading just around the time the Jerrys were going OOP.
Yeah I recall someone was trying to convince you to do the Vegas run. Are there supposed to be multiple Pollack trading cards ?
I haven't been to Lost Wages in years. I don't know if there are multiple Pollack cards, but there should be.
Rhino/GDP should have written you a special thank you note for buying the Terrapin Limited--the slowest selling limited edition in the history of the world.
mine is number 40k or something. Did this become "limited" after the fact as a way to drum up interest in it ?
Playing some Blue Note at the moment. First-time listen to this album. The title track that opens the album is so-so, but every subsequent track has been pure gold. Latin-tinged hard bop at its best! Horace Silver - The Cape Verdean Blues The XRCD mastering by Alan Yoshida is out-of-this-world good. I wished that I had bought more than three titles during Elusive Disc's recent $15 sale. Woody Shaw - trumpet JJ Johnson - trombone Joe Henderson - tenor sax Horace Silver - piano Bob Cranshaw - bass Roger Humphries - drums I've never heard R. Humphries (that I know of) before spinning this album. Very good drumming, if perhaps not too original in style. He is very influenced by Art Blakey. I could easily be fooled into thinking that it's Blakey. Art plays a little more aggressively though.
Terrapin limited was always advertise as limited, although I don’t know if they ever said how many or not. 21 years going as a limited edition, and in those years thousands of non-limited albums have been released and gone out of print... Black Crowes’ Lost Crowes release over the weekend, Bowie’s Who Can I Be Now? (1974-1976) box today.
More jazz. I haven't played this in a good while. It's just so damn good. Oliver Nelson Sextet - The Blues and the Abstract Truth Analogue Productions SACD That list of musicians on this recording is just, well... pretty much unbeatable. This was only the fifth release on the Impulse! label (catalog # A-5).
I was in Las Vegas for a few days last week for work-related reasons (yes, work - I swear ). Here are the CDs that I listened to in the car during the trip: Not in this order necessarily: Jimi Hendrix - People, Hell and Angels Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label (killer '60s soul tracks from a small label in Columbus, Ohio) Grateful Dead - Road Trips Vol. 4, No. 2: April Fools' '88 More Oar: A Tribute to the Skip Spence Album There is a Light that Never Goes Out: Indie Classics 1982 - 1987 (Mojo magazine comp of '80s UK indie) Time Machine: A Vertigo Retrospective disc 1 (An excellent 3CD box of UK prog/hard rock label 1969 - 73) The Verve - No Come Down (B Sides and Outtakes)
One of the most beautiful women to have ever walked the Earth (well, she's still walking it, but tragically is suffering from Parkinson's Disease these days). She had a stellar voice too - her albums of standards recorded in the '80s with Nelson Riddle are to die for.
