Posted 11 Jun 2004 BFrank, You're aware, no doubt, that's there's lots more where that came from re the first two QMS albums? No such thing as too much Bo Diddley? Dana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Jun 2004 I've been all over the map this weekend with my listening: Anita O'Day- "Waiter, Make Mine Blues" Procul Harum- "The Best of Procul Harum" (P.H.- one of my guilty pleasures) "Gabor Szabo Live with Charles Lloyd"- I need to give this another listen. LLoyd is on flute. The Band- "Stage Fright" Carmell Jones- "Jay Hawk Talk" Bergenfield Prestige issue-great stuff, great sound. Lee Morgan- "The Sidewinder"- a scratchy NY USA pressing. Barney Kessel- "Easy Like Vol.I" (Contemporary C3511) And my weekend favorite- Pete LaRoca- "Turkish Women at the bath"- a reissue on Douglas label; pretty good sound, great music!

Posted 15 Jun 2004 Nothing guilty about Procul Harem. Love The Band too. I'm listening to Ornette Coleman "Friends and Neighbors, live at prince st." (French RCA label, re-issue, don't know date of re-issue; haven't ever compared this to the domestic sound-wise.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Jun 2004 (edited) I'm playing the new White Magic EP for the fifth time today. My friend Miggy is on drums so I bought it for that reason. And I was happy to see that they got signed to Drag City so I wanted to log a purchase to keep that going. As it turns out, I'm completely obsessed. It's like Cat Power without the...er...drama. And more interesting arrangements. Anyone missing the good old days of the "Drag City sound" should pick this up. It's cheap. And you'll thank me later....

Posted 20 Jun 2004 This morning's listening: John Lewis & Hank Jones: An Evening with Two Grand Pianos (Little David) - listening to this, it sounded as if they truly enjoyed playing and recording together. Lambert, Hendricks & Ross: Sing Ellington (Columbia Special Products) Both of these sounded better than I had remembered them, and that always makes me happy.
