Yours truly presenting an evening with Cal Tjader's music at a friend's studio. The music sounded terrific on his expensive Hi-Fi.

These Middle Quartets are...expansive!

Brass is Metal:

Thanks! Pretty obscure movie, but I saw it on TV one time, a weekday afternoon movie on a local station, back when they did that type of thing. And of course, there is no YouTube evidence of it, not that I can find anyway. What an odd mixture of talent:

Indeed! The contrast, the switch, it was makes Sabotage stand out!

Glad to have this! Cover's cool, has this feel:

Woah.

Maybe it was a New England thing or a Massachusetts thing, but I didn't know anyone that had "Paranoid" in their LP racks. If they had any Sabbath, it was usually the compilation, "We Sold Our Soul For Rock & Roll".

You took notice, to quote Bernard Stollman, "you never heard such sounds in your life" Nothing proceeds this, but then: Even my mom had a 45 single of Paranoid she bought back in 1970!

Eugene Ormandy/The Philadelphia Orchestra - The Columbia Legacy, disc 11.

Air Dance on Never Say Die ventures into jazzy territory. I know TE and NSD don’t get much love, but I still find a lot to like on both albums. I think that the first two albums packed as powerful a punch as any first two albums. They said “sit up, take notice and listen.”

Correction, think Clark Griswald said he doesn't care who is whistling "Dixie" out their asshole, not "Yankee Doodle Dandee"🤔

If Dave Holland comes to town, I'm going. Period.

WOW!!!

Yep. Warner Bro's jacked Black Sabbath, and they were 200k in debt by the time they recorded Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, so Black Sabbath named Sabotage to revenge WB after they jacked them. IMO right behind Master of Reality, Sabotage is my favorite record by them. The band kinda had a f*&k it attitude and put out their best record. Interesting how the quality dropped after that, their first real clinker, right after Sabotage in 1976: Never Say Die was a little better, but nothing like the first six records

Disc 2 - Roussel: Syms. Nos. 2 & 3
