  1. who else could do this not just 'well' but amazing, all credit sonic youth here also
  2. Juke Boy Bonner: "Man, whatever you do, don't leave Third Ward out!" "But if I got a job in Houston, I wouldn't be on this train" The "Screaming Please" writing credit Brown/Malone means that Texas Johnny Brown, the legendary Texas guitarist and author of Bobby Blue Bland's iconic "Two Steps From The Blues," was probably the writer. Deadric Malone is the pseudonym Don Robey to get writing credits on a number of Duke sides he wasn’t involved in composing. As this reveals so many of the dynamic brassy hallmarks of the stellar Bobby "Blue" Bland material of the era, until someone shows me different, I will conclude for now that 1) Duke's house arranger/trumpeter Joe Scott is threading the elaborate tapestry and 2) the band is the same killer all-star ensemble from "Two Steps From The Blues" driven by the dynamic beat of earth-shattering future James Brown drummer John "Jabo" Starks.
  3. Onslow-- & later Guy Ropartz-- are both composers very much worth exploring cello sonata #2 *** piano trio No. 10 *** symphony 1
  4. 65 CDs of Andre Cluytens is worth 84 bones, good # rarities too-- https://www.amazon.com/André-Cluytens-Complete-Orchestral-Recordings/dp/B06XST7GHS including Stravinsky "Le Rossignol" someone couldn't wait for, did needle drop of--
  5. great & important news, CT, congratz & kudos for persistence. i'm presuming lack of response here is that people simply don't the know Musra / Cosmic story, nor their music?
  6. saw new edition "The Magic City" CD-- not the Evidence issue-- this weekend and wondered what was up... wow! https://logger.believermag.com/post/angels-and-demons-at-play *** Which brings us to Irwin Chusid, preservationist. Veteran champion of outsider artists, and host of his own long-running show on Jersey City-based freeform radio station WFMU. In the past he had single-handedly introduced the work of Raymond Scott and Esquivel to a new generation, and now as administrator of Sun Ra LLC, he’s poised to do the same for Sun Ra.Chusid admits that despite all his years in the business, he never fully appreciated the vast scope of Sun Ra’s output until recently. When he first met Michael Anderson some twenty years ago, he had no idea Anderson had been a percussionist with the Arkestra, nor that he was in possession of the tape archives...
  7. Jiri was an immense Martinu-vian; grab or otherwise listen to all Martinu he recorded for Supraphon.
  8. Bohm was a very good opera conductor but there aren't many of his symphonic recordings that you'd choose first, including Mozart. Classical "newbies" don't always recognize this in the age of Budget Box Ubiquity but their cheapness is the usually legacy of Branding, Publicity and Marketing much moreso than personal / inspired "music making." There are exceptions too but... FWIW, the Mackerras KILLS the Bohm on every level except Tuetonic "plushness." Pinnock scores over Hogwood who is too often wan; he got frisky in his later Haydn & vigorous with his Martinu but far too often good intentions don't play out well. (See much of his Handel also.) About the wotrst thing you can say about Mackerras is he abetted later Alfred Brendel's lame Mozart PCs and even there-- principals with combined age of 170-- they make a mockery of young Perahia's folly, not to mention another "Yellow Label" Mozart snooze, Geza Anda. (I'll pay you not to listen to Uchida, concerto or solo.) Scherchen Haydn >>>>>>> Per LK, Britten's Mozart is excellent, as are most recordings under Ben's "wand". Jacobs / Freiburger / Prague Bruggen For old style not yet ancient pre-slow motion Klemperer is very interesting-- Ah, here's Scherchen straight from vinyl-- so let's not pretend that Ponderous (or Prissy) Mozart was a given of the age; it wasn't-- and never should have been.
  9. Should possibly put this in a devoted Nancarrow or Bang On A Can thread but 1) in case you've not seen this 2) imagine seeing this live? I believe clarinetist Evan Ziporyn also did the arrangement
  10. in case anyone doesn't "get" your allusive illustration, that's a good question that i'll research at next opportunity. both George Duke and Ralph Humphrey (at least) played in both bands Zappa alumni jazz sidenote: Carmen McRae "Only Women Bleed" w/ Ian Underwood synt (Larry Carlton arrangement, Larry & Dennis Budimir guitars)-- also "Can't Hide Live" (w/o Ian) arranged by by Gerald Wilson--
  11. respectfully as I consider Jeffcrom a great New Orleans listener and explicator, "Everybody Does It In Hawaii" KILLS but sweetly, sweetly-- I used to be a 20s / 30s 'hot jazz' diehard but folk / pop jazz and even just "jazzy" dance bands are also great, if you immerse yourself in the period, it's easier to discern the aesthetic virtues of these overlapping forms. before well looky here! Frankie Marvin from Oliver's "St James Infirmary" with Roy Smeck 1929
  12. a GREAT "St. James Infirmary"-- if only Frankie Marvin broke into the yodel he hints at! illuminating accordian?
  13. pre-glacial Afanassiev, greater (emotionally & technically) than fucking Brendel & Uchida's careers, combined. all Heinz Holliger as a composer worth hearing as is are his recordings of 20th c. composers not as much findable Holliger / ECM youtube as expected / not all Kancheli is the best Kancheli A La Duduki (I believe Duduki is a type of Georgian dumpling, often served in an invigorating lamb broth) good for winter ice storms and summer droughts on the prairie or steppes alike
  14. road tapes Ponty Duke Underwood x 2 Fowler x 2 Humphrey
  15. that's great (really) you got to see this live I've found Berman a bit po' faced elsewhere especially in his Prokofiev cycle but Cage-- and these pieces especially-- are better suited to his chops / temperament (intellectually his Prokofiev is fine but...) On disc Antonis Anissegos is recently hep
  16. Don Ellis archive online http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/ucla-archive-shares-jazz-pioneer-don-ellis-music-wotj If you're a lover of jazz and are curious about the west coast jazz scene that once dominated some of L.A.’s most famous nightclubs in the 1960s and 70s, then get ready to be transported back to that era. Thanks to the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive, more than 60 recordings of performances by trumpeter, composer and bandleader Don Ellis (1934-1978) were recently made available for your online listening pleasure through the California Light and Sound Collection on theInternet Archive. California Light and Sound is part of the California Audiovisual Preservation Project, which aims to preserve the state’s rich audiovisual heritage by partnering with 127 libraries, archives and museums...
  17. Weinberg solo cello preludes / Feigelson on Naxos is actually the same Feigelson in the old / estimbale Vainberg series on Olympia, a very welcome reissue then of quite underknown works. this is Claes Gunnarson in the cello fantasia from the ongoing (?) Chandos series
  18. Atlanta 1947. Not getting warmer precisely but getting somewhere.
  19. kenton wagner wagner kenton grill that knockwurst with cuban fire!
  20. later Suicide is pretty horrid, Rev a fount of bad ideas / poor sounds & Vega barely sounds he like he's trying; he does't sound that much better here but he fills the role with Pan Sonic who never 'phoned it in' vega obscured his age a LONG time, his art gallery shows where noted in early '70s along w/ early Suicide, the 1960s are his mystery decade, presumably worked straight jobs but ???
