The song selection on this (3 Joe's, a Wayne, a Miles, a Bill Evans, a good Dave Samuels, and "Body and Soul") is outstanding, makes it a great listening disc:
You're on a roll, that was one of my first jazz purchases and my intro to Billy Harper. I just kept playing "Capra Black" from that 2LP set over and over, and there are other gems on there.
Dipping gingerly into buying a few downloads of titles I'll never see on CD. Today was 'Lookout Farm' , the great ECM album by Liebman, Beirach & Co. (they never came close to this again), and 'All That's Good', the obscure 1964 Freddie (Frederick on this release) Roach album on BN. Not classic but certainly interesting.
I replaced several Muse CD's with 32Jazz CD's when they came out in the 90's or whenever, and have regretted it ever since, in some cases re-buying the Muse CD's.
William Parker - Migrations of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World (10 CD's) $59 shipped PP F&F or interesting trade.
Woody Shaw - Complete CBS Studio Recordings Mosaic set. $69 shipped PP F&F or interesting trade.
Please PM if interested.
Bruce Johnston? How does his absence improve things? Truly curious. The period you mention was the last time I found the Beach Boys interesting as a current rather than retro group, though I'll take Sunflower and Surf's Up over those two. But "Sail On Sailor" is a magnificent song/recording.
I'm not either, going back to the days of Dave Mason's great 'Alone Together' album with the goofy marbleized vinyl and creepy cut-out cover (but wonderful music).
Thanks Lon and @JSngry , I stand corrected and educated on the Manne and will look for it. She is a strong vocalist!
