alocispepraluger102 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm not sure that I understand the question... about the lovely lux aeterna, a recording integrating pipe organ, trumpet, chamber orchestra, soprano vocalist, and electric guitar this beautifully is really unusual.

rostasi Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Tony Schwartz! What a career he had! He was responsible for the LBJ political ad with the girl and the daisy as well as doing some great phonography recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 tell the forum music you own that's very very far from the beaten path. Hmmmm... You know, there don't seem to be too many beaten down paths in some peoples' collections, including mine. Maybe the recording from UbuWeb of Cecil Taylor reading his poetry would qualify.

king ubu Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Frank Zappa playing bicycles in the Steve Allen show, with the show band accompanying him free-style (I got that off dime some years ago, no official release). Seems it's on u-tube, but I can't check that (blocked where I work) right now: part 1 & part 2 or here here's a story about it: http://www.jerryhopkins.com/stories#zappa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a few odd ones. First, a few political recordings. Bembeya Jazz National - Regard sur le passe. A spoken history of Samory Toure, Almamy of the Mandinke Empire of the late 19th Century, who fought the French colonists for 18 years. Bembeya Jazz National - Chemin du PDG (Parti Democratique de Guinee)/Horoya Band - Tunyalee. This album was one of several recorded in 1970 following an unsuccessful coup attempt led by the Portugese navy. The speeches, over a musical background, celebrate the defeat of what was seen as a recolonisation attempt. Papa & Kandia Kouyate - OUA. Kandia sings and Papa speaks a harangue in praise of the Organisation of African Unity. Alpha Blondy - Jah Houphouet-Boigny nous parle. Over a reggae backing, a speech given to the Rassemblement democratique africain (African democratic assemby) by the President of Cote d'Ivoire. Off the politics, now. Sonny Hopson - a radio broadcast from 1969 on WHAT-AM Philadelphia. Actually, this isn't so far out - Jim Sangrey has a copy, too Lemzo Diamono presente Gallo Thiello! - Taxi arrete. Lemzo Diamono was, at the time (1997?) one of Senegal''s top Mbalax bands. They backed up this recording of one of Senegal's top comedians. It's all in Wolof, but still, you can't help laughing!

rostasi Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I realize that it's not a contest, but I can't see anyone topping you, Rod....but that's what's interesting about this rather simple question - it's not simple! . I think it ties in nicely with Allen's thread about what it is that can be considered surprising (or in this case - "most unusual"). I'd have to put some strictures on the definition in order to come up with an answer. Currently, I'm thinking of "most unusual gruesome recordings" - It does make for a good starting point for reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I picked this one up for Father's Day a couple of years ago: The Three Sheeters Entertainers Club RIB and ROAST RON SANTO Among the participants were Don Kessinger, Glen Beckert, Randy Hundley and a few professional comedians I'd never heard. Since Dad doesn't have a turntable or functioning CD player, I transferred it to cassette and kept the LP - and ironically enough, I don't think he ever sat down to listen to it.

That album has Chicago Cub Carmen Fanzone who later played trumpet in the "Tonight Show" band. I think his wife is the singer Sue Raney? Didja ever pick up their tribute to the Cubs - a single called "Pennant Fever" recorded for Chess?
