Holy Ghost

Yeah, good luck! Forget the nightlight, this dude will keep you up all night. Easy chair McLean is rare, but if you want to try to take it easy with Jackie, Swing, Swang, Swingin' may be his sleepiest, but I'm still on edge; I still want to know every note he plays! With that, have a good night, my friend. Now: The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Vol. 1. Japanese Mini LP RVG. Both volumes, Japanese Mini RVG's

Nod to Slugs by said author. Side note. If you look in the upper right-hand corner, Noam Chomsky is included in this issue too, one of the most fascinating and bazaar guest lecturers' I ever heard at my college in my undergrad years.

And if I'm reading correctly, a CD issue too? Yeeeeah!!! You should be exceptionally pleased, Mr. Thornton.

That's how I have them. Transition sleeve art work is nice to see though.

The Charlie Byrd Trio (& guests) at the Village Gate. Riverside/OJC

Duke-Piano in the Foreground-Columbia/Legacy

Contagious! Starting the day with Duke: Piano in the Background. Columbia/Legacy.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk-Blacknuss-Atlantic/Rhino One of my fav dudes of all time.

Dig both! Now: Portrait of Cannonball, Julian Adderley Quintet. Riverside/OJC.

Who does this? Wow. 3K+ for Kind of Blue? Never realized Columbias fetched these kind of prices nowadays. Has Kind of Blue ever slipped out of print? Even when I met my wife 25 years ago, she had a copy, that I know she didn't lay no more than a bill or two on. Is a two-eye, v. a six-eye, gonna break the bank? Mono v. Stereo? Wasn't that LP fucked up with a speed issue, once it originally left the pressing plant back in 1959 (or maybe it was the cd)? Atlantic is kind of the same to me. I can't tell the difference between a mid-sixties fan copy versus a mid-seventies fan copy. I paid $10 for a clean mono copy of McLean's Right Now!, a far harder album to find, pre. Liberty; who would drop almost 4K on a Columbia copy of Kind of Blue? Don't get that thinking.

Count me in.

Black Sabbath-Master of Reality-Vortex/WB, 1970.

Thanks for the review, probably pass. Earlier: New Order, Power, Corruption, and Lies, Quest Now: RUSH, 2112, Mercury.

All kidding aside about the Member's Only jacket, I'm moved. It's beautiful, Neneh is amazing . I'm buying it as soon as its available.

Wow. Absolutely love that he is still recording and with Don Cherry's daughter? Cool as fluff. The All Star Game is still one of my favorite Allen efforts outside of the Sun Ra orbit. Wait, is that a Member's Only Jacket he's wearing? My wife hijacked mine.

Me too. Last fall, I bought Three for Shepp, the Gesprachsfetzen/ In Sommerhausen, and Mary Ann/Bremen 1969 sets. As if the ESP/Polydor records weren't good enough...wow, it gets better! Sounds great, so I can't tell you if it's needle drop or not; but it sounds pretty fine to these ears.

Wasn't he Paul Chamber's cousin? Own Soulnik, and have no excuse not owning this one.

More Haydn: Symphonies, Nos. 82, 83, & 84, under the direction of Sigiswald Kuijken, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Virgin Classics, 1989.

Thank you Sir Richard Branson for Virgin Classics (and Virgin Venture). Truly, in my honest opinion, the best classical label there ever was. So, listening to Haydn myself: Cello Concertos under the direction of Iona Brown, featuring Truls Mork, Virgin Classics, 1991. Earlier, Haydn, Sonatas Nos. 33, 38, 58 & 60. Emanuel Ax. CBS Records Masterworks, 1988. One of my favorite classical pianists, alongside Glenn Gould and Jean-Bernard Pommier.

Can't escape it. Every time I see this album sleeve, reminds me of this sleeve:

Love the Breeders and a huge Pixies fan. Does this record have either vibe?

Rahsaan Roland Kirk-Blacknuss-Atlantic/Rhino

Total RUSH fan. Saw them as a teenager in the 80's and was thrilled when they played the first half of 2112, then saw them again as an adult, playing their best from their entire catalogue chronologically. RIP Neil Peart! My favorite rock drummer of all time, who learned to re-drum (like this dude needed to) under the influence of Buddy Rich. Amazing person (watched an interview, dude's very articulate and intellectually deep) amazing band! Now playing The Police-Synchronicity-A&M. Awesome how Herb Alpert saw the importance of this band...another band I was so fortunate to see live too. They opened with "Message in a Bottle"!
