Candy Dulfer - Sax-a-Go-Go Early Candy Dulfer is a bit of a surprise to me. I'd only heard her later records, by which time she'd aged into boring smooth jazz proper. Whereas I really did enjoy my first listen this. Sort of Acid Jazz Jazz. Influences seem to be David Sanborn, 1980s Miles Davis and Prince, etc. It is very very commercial pop jazz and there is the drum machine, but she has an unexpectedly forceful saxophone tone.

Yellow Swans – Going Places

I must admit that when i wrote my post above I had not thought of his later Pablo recordings. I do not have many of these, but what I have picked up along the way is rather amazing. Will have to look into more of this, I guess. Agreed about the man of many parts and "The Legend" - and "Kansas City Suite" too. This sort of combination of Carter and Basie is something special.

👍

Wow that must sound amazing all together. Enjoy! I really dig that portrait. Brotzmanns expressive face lends itself perfect for such a photograph.

Thanks! A Mola Mola Makua preamp (from your country) and a Brinkmann Bardo deck. The amps are part of my speakers (Neumann KH 150). It's a whisky bottle, Glenfarclas 15 yrs, matured in sherry casks. A family-owned distillery in Speyside. By the way, I bought the portrait of Peter Brotzmann from a Melbourne photographer, Tobias Titz, who had the chance to take the portrait with a large format camera when Bro was visiting Melbourne. I like it a lot.

That looks very cool! 3 questions: which amp, which deck and which beer?

Tomorrow night: Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos *Sheldon Brown multi-reeds, flute *Ernesto Mazar Kindelán baby bass *Josh Jones drums

Yeah, I went through a Benny Carter thing a while back and I remember wishing there was a Mosaic of the early stuff. I have some euro-compilations of Benny Carter albums, one with eight and one with 4 albums. Also some Chronologicals for the early period. There is also a 1946 Benny Carter Quintet recording on disc 9 of the Keynote Collection. It's hard to find a bad album. Carter is really a man of many parts, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger too. I'm fond of the Basie album, The Legend - From the Pen of Benny Carter.

This Friday night, Jackie Venson at Wilndmills in the Colony.

Agreed. They did Louie, Louie around the same time the Kingsmen did, and had the stronger version (and the regional Pacific Northwest hit, IIRC), largely due to Lindsay.

Yo!

If their very earliest records are any indication, Mark Lindsaey had put in enough time to at least get a good centered tone, unlike Mike Love who played like ...Mike Love.

lots I like but I’m most fond of the Verve music collected on the Urbane Sessions, Cosmopolite, and 3 4 5 Small Group CDs. also have long enjoyed the Bluebird CD All Of Me with some earlier music

I guess the "F" somehow fell off prior to print.

that's the one I am most familiar with.

I got to hear Benny Carter in the late 1980s and he put on a great set. He is well represented in my collection.
