  1. Works great to remove the stench of those dreadful Santana allstar albums from the past couple of years. Maybe Herbie Hancock should have his own fragrance as well..
  2. I never downloaded anything from Archive, always listened to SBDs in streaming audio. Had I known before... I don't even have a copy of that famous 5/8/77 fake show.
  3. Thank you very much! I'm not much of a frequent poster, but I lurk on the boards here a lot. Ordered the Tolliver select set as a birthday gift to myself.
  4. I already answered this over at another board, but the clip in the second post is Bob Marley's "No More Trouble" from the "Catch a fire" record.
  5. Labeling Vitesse or Hans van Hemert as "Dutch Rare Groove" is really stretching it... Most of the stuff on this comp is Salvation Army dollar bin fodder over here, except for a couple of records that are truly rare. Anyway, I enjoy some of those rare groove compilations, but they certainly can be hit-or-miss, and the sound samples from this comp sound like generic jazzfunk-by-the-numbers. I've heard much better and more original sounding stuff on comps with records from Eastern European countries. A lot of those sought-after funk records that command high prices on Ebay don't live up to the hype as well. To me, the only one that really lives up to its reputation is that Stark Reality record. That album is wicked.
  6. I've had that Ethiopiques vol 4 disc for some time, very nice stuff. Are there other similar albums in that series?
  7. I was listening to a 1974 Little Feat show from the archives today, great stuff.

    Mizell?

    I'm not really a fan of those Mizell productions, but it is kinda interesting that they were actually involved in compiling and producing this compilation. I thought these guys left the music business years ago?

  10. The RealAudio file was there yesterday and only the direct link was missing. Anyway, another excellent show! Wish we had something like this on Dutch public radio..
  11. I like the compositions on Jazz From Hell, but the Synclavier sounds have dated pretty badly, IMO.
  12. "Roxy and Elsewhere" is my favorite. Some juvenile humor on that one, but the band is very tight and some of the instrumentals are jaw-dropping. Another personal favorite is "The Grand Wazoo", mostly big band stuff with little vocals.
  13. I'm pretty sure it's the right album, because the track timings match up and I recognized the title track from a Blue Note compilation I have. I re-read the liner notes and you are correct in saying that the original album should contain 6 tracks instead of 5. Weird, I guess I'll just take it back to the store tomorrow and see if I can get a replacement... I picked this one up new, but unsealed. Thank for clarifying the session details for me, I will definitely pick up those other Mobley albums as well. There's so much good jazz music for me to discover..
  14. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but... I bought the RVG reissue of Hank Mobley's "No Room For Squares" today. According to both the booklet and the printing on the cd itself, it should have 8 tracks: 5 original takes and 3 bonus tracks. However, the actual disc only has the five original tracks and omits the bonus material. Is this a common error for this disc? My store didn't have any other copies. Anyway, I'm fairly new to jazz and just heard this album for the first time. I love it, but I'd still like to have the bonus tracks. Should I return it to the store I bought it, or adress Blue Note Europe directly? Thanks.

  16. I think he would have made some killer disco-funk records with the Mizell Bros.
  17. Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your show and I visit the online archives to listen to the latest program every week. Thanks!
  18. I thought that "St. Anger" was a very mediocre record, and the movie shows exactly where it all went wrong. Do these guys even enjoy playing music anymore? Hatfield churns out totally cliched power chord riffs (even Lars calls them 'stock riffs' somewhere in the film) and Kirk Hammett comes off like a spineless yes-man. The whole album is a Protools cut-and-paste affair (it's pretty obvious when you listen to the drumming closely). The only person who really seems really enthousiastic about playing music is Robert Trujillo, while the original Metallica members look like they would rather be doing anything else, like bear hunting or collecting paintings. Having said that, the movie itself is indeed very enjoyable.
  19. This record ("Melting Pot") is awesome, especially the funky title track.
  20. I don't listen to (death) metal a lot, but there are some interesting groups with pretty advanced musicians. Cynic, Atheist and Death made nice records, for example. I really like Mr. Bungle and some of the other Mike Patton projects.
  21. My portable cd player refuses to play any of the copy protected Blue Note RVG's so I'm practically forced to rip and copy them, in order to listen to these albums while traveling. I've had plenty of success with CDex and a HP CD-R drive to read the discs and convert to WAV. Just convert all audio tracks and skip the last data track, then reburn. Unfortunately, this method doesn't seem to work with various DVD-R drives. I'm pretty new to jazz, so I don't have any older non-protected editions of these albums. The only alternative available to me is to order the US RVG editions online.
  22. The RVG reissue lists Hancock as the composer of "Night Flower" on the back. I don't have a lot of other Donald Byrd records from this period, but I think Free Form is a nice, but fairly average record.
  23. I'm a big Horace fan, but has anyone watched this DVD yet? Any comments on image and sound quality? My local retailer has this DVD for 30+ euro, a bit expensive.
  24. I'm a big fan of Horace Silver's music. His compositions and funky piano playing always bring a smile to my face. Almost all his stuff on Blue Note is worth picking up.
