I too am wearing a t-shirt, but that's because the central heating is on and making it comfortable. Outside is cold and damp, working up to rain later. I thought Germany had colder winters than we did in the far west. MG

... floy-hoy... floy-hoy ... ...i can't wait for it with regards Mr. Bassman Actually, I should have said that that was the first time I've heard the original. I have only seen them do it on film. So thank you Mr B. MG

Mosaic's Website
The Magnificent Goldberg replied to Peter Johnson's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
The Commodores and the Maynard LP box will each take a pair of hob-nail boots, with space to spare.. Oh, I only go for the slimline Mosaics! Stitt is the thickest (so far). I don't think I could even get a pair of her slippers in there. MG -
Yeah, and it reminds me to the old days of fortran-programming or "Spaghetti-Basic" Never did Fortran, but spaghetti basic was a speciality of the house! MG

It wasn't annoying at all Mr B. One or two points, and I'll see if quotes can be made to work properly My remark was related to #2 and #3. All 3 tunes could have been much more likeable for me if they'd played them a bit different. I meant the whole track was too long, not the bass solo. Sorry I wasn't clear. Hard for me to do this because I'm not a musician. There were a few notes he played that didn't sound like they were in the tune I know, but I don't think he was improvising at that stage. I'll have another listen later and try to note the timing for you. MG

groove holmes
The Magnificent Goldberg replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Artists & Recordings
The Groove Holmes on Muse that I really like best is "Shippin' out", with Dave Schnitter on tenor. The feeling to that LP is wonderful. MG -
BFT 42 DISC 2 1 S & S – Guitarist & bass player. Classic black pop! Wonderful! 2 A bass player! He’s obviously hearing something in his head, but I can’t hear it. I keep expecting the rest of the band to come in and groove, but they never do. It could be a great groover, if the others joined in. 3 Modern band led by soprano sax. Playing with the rhythm very articulately but, somehow, they never fly – which they could do – because they’re stuck in this clever set of slightly different versions of the riff as each solo builds. Oh and the ending is SOOOO twee! 4 A lovely sounding tenor player grabs you by the balls immediately! The tune keeps reminding me of the George Benson hit, “The greatest love of all”, but I don’t think it really is. There are just a lot of phrases taken from the tune. I like the pianist, too, but he isn’t as attention-grabbing as the tenorman, especially when he comes back in after the pianist has had his say. But no matter, this is a good band of people who are all working together beautifully and creating a gorgeous feeling together. If the rest of the album is this delightful, I think I’ll be looking to buy it. 5 Jumping big band! Then a spiky little theme that’s just held together for me by the Latin percussion. Portentous bits of ensemble arranging tend to break up the groove. Chano Pozo or Mongo wouldn’t have put up with it. Another I think could have been very enjoyable. 6 Middle Eastern stuff. Good groove in the percussion section. This is the sort of thing “World music” DJs tend to put on dancefloor compilations for the benefit of would-be Ali Gs in Staines. It’s also, looking at it from the point of view of the musicians, the sort of thing that Arts Councils give grants for. The pianist doesn’t seem to be very at home here, but the flute & violin solos fit quite well with the voices and rhythm. 7 Is that a harmonium in the background, or some kind of synthesiser? Oh, I think it’s some Indian instrument in a box that I’ve seen on telly. I like this. It’s as miserable as sin, but calmly content. I don’t think I’d like a LOT of it, however. 8 This, particularly the intro, makes me think of some of those Pharoah Sanders tunes he did in the late ‘70s, after he’d left Impulse and before he started recording for Theresa. Only, it isn’t 20 minutes long! I like this a lot, too. 9 More film music that isn’t! Another dark night, but the hero is strolling along, looking into shop windows. He sees the reflection of someone following him, so he ducks into an amusement arcade and loses the follower in the crowd. 10 More funny instruments and something Middle Eastern about this one, too. Kind of Egyptian, I think, though the bass solo doesn’t sound like that. What an effin’ groove, too! Non-Scottish bagpipes, as well? Another one for the dancefloors of Staines! Bass player is a real killer! 11 “The skaters’ waltz” or “The blue Danube” I always get those two confused. “Radezky march” now. A Strauss medley? Ah, they don’t make ‘em like that any more! How charming! 12 Overlong theme over a Reggae beat. Leading to rock guitar solo. Then a bass solo. Much too long. 13 Trombonist still tuning up while the others are getting started on the next number. (I doubt if this is the same band as the previous track.) I’m going off to make a cup of tea. Audience very enthusiastic, but beats me if I can see why. 14 Attractive bass clarinet intro, leading to pleasant music milling about kind of aimlessly. 15 Very cheerful! I’d certainly drop 10p in the hat if they were playing in the street! 16 Oh, NOW we’ve got the Christmas Carols! Slightly inaccurately played, it seems to me. How can anyone play “Silent night” inaccurately? (I mean, and not do another take.) Happy Christmas!

The "I do not get this" remark referred to the fact that my second post worked OK with the quotes, but the first didn't. I split the post to see if having fewer quotes worked OK, but it didn't. Then it did. So I still don't get it. (Where's the smiley of someone tearing out their hair at the machinery?) MG Ahhhh, that was a remark about the quoting-thing. Yesterday Rockefeller Center explained me a possoble mistake-source. There has to be kept a certain semantic-rule and order-structure. And on solving that problem, we discovered that upper limit-thing. The semantic and order-structure was perfect... and still there was no quoting. But we didn't check the max-Volume yet, maybe more than 10 ??? The funny thing is, there is no error-message implanted, as in case of too much smilies, where you will get one. So i can follow John MacEnroe in this case you can see in this post the false order-structure ! There is one [ /quote] - Order too much (to be that correct... two orders) There has to be a logical sequence and an equal counting of [ quote] [/ quote] - Orders. Otherwise.... this happens. Yes - and it's so hard to spot when quotes are nested. It's the same as trying to spot when you have the wrong number of brackets in a formula. MG

What Holiday Music Are You Spinninng Now
The Magnificent Goldberg replied to Soulstation1's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I play Christmas records all year round. If I don't like somethng enough to play it any time, then I don't like it enough for Christmas play. But over the Christmas period, I play ALL my Chrstmas albums. And I'm still waiting for Concord to reissue as a twofer the two LPs called "Holiday soul" by Bobby Timmons and Don Patterson. (DOn's was a hit!) I could also do with Universal reissuing the second Ramsey Lewis Christmas album. MG
