Holy shit Charlie Palmieri, holy shit.

Outside your time frame just a little, but there's two early 70s Eddie Palmieri albums that frequently are "big band" through the use of overdubbing of horn parts - The Sun Of Latin Music & Unfinished Masterpiece. IMO, these are "essentials" for anybody interested in "Latin Music" over any stripe, but especially a more arrangement-focused approach to the horns A the opening cuts from each from each: Anotehr thing for consideration - when it comes to Latin big bands of the American-based type, if you see the name Rene Hernandez in the credits as arranger, proceed without hesitation.

HA! Probably not the original, that guy probably existed before recorded time, but definitely a worthy successor! This guy, though...how big of a void is it before there's no void to be devoid of?

MG, you might have some fun hanging out and browsing this site: http://www.descarga.com/cgi-bin/db Prices aren't always the "best", but selection and general annotation is pretty much unbeatable (at least in my experience).

Good one! Yeah, my then-girlfriend/now-wife experienced the same thing when we saw Sinatra at Caesar's in 1982. Like, WHOA, this shit is real, isn't it!!!!! Probably not gonna have the chance to see McCartney, but I probably would if I could, just for that reason. The music (which in Sinatra's case waaaay more than met admittedly lower expectations going into it) is only part of it. There's the whole sociological thing too, and probably, for right now, any way, that's the real importance of being there if/when you can. Someday it will all be "history", and then it's a bunch of people trying to tell you what you know you saw for yourself.

Ok, I need/want to know/learn this - I've gleamished the most basic origins of "High Society" the composition, but what documentation of it is there in its original form, which I guess was a march or a rag? And who was Porter Steele?

Only saw this once before, on local TV ca. 1978, at about 6:17 AM, as filler for when the late shows ran short. It would never happen today. The circumstances were too surreal to go into now, but as surreal as this? About that, I dare/care not to speculate. But Duke Ellington? The literalist approach does not apply except in the world of a severly stunted madman. This cat...good luck on ever figuring all of that out. Ever.

World gone wrong if you are... World gone wrong anyway, but not THAT wrong, not yet.

Carlos Barberia. I only have the one Panart record, but the other stuff on You Tube like this is dandy too. I have never seen that record. But I do have this one, and if you see it, carpe disco.

So, did Bob Hammer even have kids?

Two words, dude - Tito Rodriguez. That is one bad motherfucker right there.

Well, not too short apparently! Set up the Raiders station lat night and played it this morning, with remarkably consistent results (mostly high energy mid-late 60s commercial garage-y-ish pop). Didn't "like" anything, and only "rejected" a rare handful (Herman's Hermits (yuck), The Vogues (dubble yuck), The Hollies "Long Cool Woman" (nope, too late in their game for me), and "Get Together" by the Youngbloods (not on THIS station)) and only skipped one - a 70s Guess Who cut that was ok, but too "modern" in recording/production. Biggest surprises - as much Eric Burdon/Animals as Paul Revere, and plenty of "raw" DC5. Biggest worry - just hits so far. Afraid to "like" for fear of that damned "musical genome" thing getting all mutational with unpleasant results, but maybe that's how the Pandora math works? Looking for some deeper cuts, some "Nuggets" type gems. Will they be there? In the meantime, The Turtles are starting to pop in. A good 60s singles band will alwys not get rejected/skipped in this experiment. Alos getting the inevitable Beatles/Beach Boys tandem, but not really in quantity. Yet. Fingers crossed. Anyways - sound quality? This is transistor radio/jukebox 45 music. What kind of sound quality is there to worry about? And for the more serious/focused/intentioned listening, hey, that's not what I;m looking at my phone to provide.

http://blogs.wfmt.com/relevanttones/2014/07/19/finding-the-bridge/ All of this is new to me, nothing sounded cheap or "easy", so....always fun to have those doors opened, or at least to know that they're there. Also, there is a discrepance in the posted playlist and they braodcast content. No Jennifer Higdon (who I do know!), Peter Lieberson instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8bsPAPsn9w This is not the one reissued by Dusty Groove, but a follow-up that to the best of my knowledge has not been reissued. http://www.discogs.com/Bill-Cosby-Presents-Badfoot-Brown-And-Bunions-Bradford-Funeral-Marching-Band-Bill-Cosby-Presents-Bad/release/915213 Joe's solo sounds kinda splicedy, but hey, this ain't the kind of thing to worry about that on, imo. But Bobby Jones?!?! 1972, Cosby MC-ed the Mingus Carnegie Hall gig, but this is an L.A. date all the way, so...god, musicbusinessisweird.#com/

I caught the tail end of underground/free-form radio (and grew up in the heyday of good/true Top 40), so radio itself has always been something I enjoyed when it was good, and kinda felt "betrayed" by when it wasn't. The notion of having somebody play all these hip records on the radio for you while you worked/studied/read/whatever is something that can still give me the beginnings of an experiential chubby just as quickly as the notion of people skullfucking you with corporate brainwashing/ed vomitradio can make it go away. Not sure if this streaming services thing (or anything, really) is ever going to be that again, but one can hope in one hand, piss in the other, and see which one fills up first, I suppose.

You mean we're not already?

Did you by any chance have any of the Parlophone 78s that were issued in India? I would miss a day's pay to hear one of those in good condition on a proper player.

Tardo, are you related to Bob Hammer? Sorry if this is something I'm supposed to know already...

Yeah, Mitch was cool. And yes, Hendrix was transcendent. Going from him to Ayler & Trane (when the opportunity arose) was, like, ok, this is a set-up, right, TOO easy. (and yes, I know, not that simple once the wade goes into a full swim and finally an immersion, but still...no resistance or hesitancy at the beginning...wish I had heard Sonny Sharrock right away then too, but it took Herbie Mann to get that to me!).

Ok, I'm new to Pandora, really liking the breadth of variety available (although perhaps not the depth, we'll see how that plays out over time...I'm starting to see different selections from the same few albums over and over again...), but my question to those of you have used it for a while is this - is there ever a point where all my finely-(a)tuned stations merge into one, like will I ever get to one station where Monday Michiru is followed by Morton Feldman is followed by Duke Ellington is followed by Bird is followed by Cathy Berberian is followed by AEC, on and on, or is my best bet to keep (a)tuning those individual stations and then at some point go into shuffle/random/whatever it is mode? Because that's what I really want out of a streaming music service, all that is good, and in no particular order. Or does Spotify do that better? Or, perhaps, whose dream am I having, and what time does the alarm go off? And really, this "Musical Genome" thing has me nervously laughing, looking at the "qualities" one piece shares and then seeing where it leads. This is particularity unsettling on the Monday Michiru station, where I guess they only have one album to offer (Soulception), and apparently they think that because I like a female singer doing original material with interesting arrangements and harmonic choices that I will then like a whole slew of female droney-ass "jazz singers" doing catatonic versions of tired old standards. Wrong! I quickly added some artists to the station, and have started getting somewhat better results (however, the depth of the catalog they have available really shows in some of these more niche-ier musics, at least early on it does). But equation-based taste is not any kind of math for which I feel any particular sympathy or enthusiasm. The only stations that have to this point behaved as I would have hoped/expected are the AEC and the Morton Feldman. Seriously thinking about creating a Paul Revere & The Raiders station just to see which way that goes. But life is short, even when it's free.
