    I'm not familiar with that one. ... Just looked it up on discogs. Features some unusual instrumentation: alto sax, bass, drums -- and bassoon. Hmm. Don't think I've heard a bassoon in a jazz context before.

    Cal Tjader - Puttin' It Together (Fantasy, 1974)

    Rab, I'm partial to A Path Through Haze, a collaboration with Attila Zoller from 1972:

    Up next: Shirley Scott - Lean On Me (Cadet, 1972, RE) with George Coleman (ts), Danny Turner (as, fl), Roland Prince (g); and Idris Muhammad (d)

    Now spinning: Anthony Davis & Jay Hoggard - Under the Double Moon (MPS, 1982) My LP is the PAUSA version, licensed from MPS. Fascinating music.

    Charlie Haden / Paul Motian featuring Geri Allen - Etudes (Soul Note, 1988) Very true on both counts.

    Steve Turre - Fire and Ice (Stash, 1988)

    bresna, Sounds like a great set-up. Please keep us posted on how it goes! Like you, I have all of my (digital) music backed up on a couple external hard drives. My solution for playing the files has been to transfer them to the 400 GB micro-SD card on my mobile phone. (Not all of the files fit on the SD card, but I can load up more than 3,000 albums.) Then I can play the files via Bluetooth in my car or on my portable Bose speaker (often out on the back porch). I even got a little device that allows me to stream music through my "regular stereo system" via Bluetooth. This approach keeps things relatively simple -- but, of course, I'm losing a little bit of AQ by going wireless. It's always interesting to hear how folks are adapting to the new, myriad ways that we can listen to music.

    Now spinning: Flora Purim & Airto - Humble People (Concord, 1985)
  12. HutchFan
    Interesting. I'm gonna check out that record.

    I hear you. Of course, the sub-genre had some of that ugly awful-ness. "Sweet Home Alabama" immediately comes to mind. As far as that goes, "Yuck" is right. And I think I'll leave it at that.

    Back in the Brazilian/samba-jazz bag: Trio da Paz - Brasil from the Inside (Concord Picante, 1992)
  15. HutchFan
    Just arrived in the mail. First listen: Steve Turre - Viewpoints and Vibrations (Stash, 1987) Hearing new music -- even if it's old music -- is so much fun.
  16. HutchFan
    Oh yeah. Back in the day, that stuff was it. And those bands are still staples of "classic rock" radio around these parts. Will give that stuff another listen!

    Probably a good idea. My Southern Rock hierarchy goes something like this: The Allman Brothers Band - Yes, definitely. Lynyrd Skynyrd - On certain days, O.K. maybe. Molly Hatchet - No thanks.
  18. HutchFan
    A band sorta like Lynyrd Skynyrd -- but not as good. Clearly, you need to brush up on your derivative Southern Rock, circa the late-70s and early-80s.

    Jim -- Not be too nit-picky, but both of those are from the 1970s. Rab's original post said that he wanted suggestions from post-1979 to the present. ... I'm just sayin'. All that said, La Sonora Ponceña has never really grabbed me. Maybe I should give them another listen. I'm probably prejudiced against the band because so many of their covers could easily be confused for something by Molly Hatchet. Not as far from Salsa to Southern Rock as you thought!

    Eddie Palmieri - Sentido (Mango/Coco, 1973) Oh man, so good. Palmieri's early-70s run -- Superimposition, Vamonos Pa'l Monte, and Sentido -- are my all-time favorite EP records. All three feature Ismael Quintana as lead vocalist. Unfortunately, Quintana left EP's band after Sentido. Lalo Rodriguez, who replaced him, was no slouch. In fact, the subsequent records that feature Rodriguez are probably more famous: The Sun of Latin Music and Unfinished Masterpiece. But I prefer Quintana; I like his rougher, more traditional-sounding voice.

    Jochum's Brahms is consistently excellent, IMO. And his Bruckner. And his Beethoven.
  22. HutchFan
    ¡Absolutamente!
  23. HutchFan
    NP: Hilton Ruiz - Manhattan Mambo (Telarc, 1992)
  24. HutchFan
    Azymuth - Telecommunication (Milestone, 1981)
  25. HutchFan
    NP: Charlie Palmieri - A Giant Step (Tropical Budda, 1984) Eddie Palmieri has always said that his older brother Charlie was a better pianist than him. I don't know about that -- but Charlie could definitely play.
