Yes!

Yes that one. This is the .oney cut, but the whole album is worth your while!

Would that all long times were good ones...

Needed to check ..yeah, this one is imo much more on point than this new one.

Mostly as a section player, right?

Are those the same guys that do Nintendo mariachi?

Well...the tempos are just too fast. Not radically so, but...,"The Barbara Song", no master how gorgeous, needs to hang in the air, not feel like the gentlest of gentle breezes. And don't ask either of these tenor players to assume the phantasmical spectre of Wayne Shorter. Otoh, times keep changing and Gil certainly did as well. So maybe this is as it should be, or close to it. But I still like the big hairy slo-mo codeine spiders of the original. Slow that shit down!

I was advised at one point to look for interpretations of these works with a "Hungarian" flavor, and I'm glad I did. These 1950 readings do not have that, and it's boldly apparent. But what they do have is a brash mid-century boldness of "modernity" and the works more than hold up to it. Either way, miraculous music.

Turns out I have both! Neither made an indelible impression, but neither bored me or pissed me off! Besides homeboys(sorta)!

Just wondering what, if any, connection there was to the album.

Carnation despairs.

From where do you know Doug Harris? That's a new name on me!

No content?

I see that the Jordan is from one of his Muse records of the 70s. Those never really landed with me, but this cut has me wondering if I should reconsider then.

Correthea Smallgood - Did I Say You Could Take That!

17 compositions by 15 composers. 3 CDs packed in an LP-size jacket in cardboard that's as heavy as a 65 Cadillac. Pleasant listening so far, about as expected.

Milton Babbitt's use of the term "tonic sonority" in these liner notes is generating a parade of lightbulbs about all kinds of music, beginning but not ending with Sonny Rollins.

And if it's a faulty disc itself, why can it be read for burning but not for playing? But yet, there it is.

Have you read The Book(s) of Enoch? You can more than safely add M.F. Horn 4&5: Live at Jimmy's After that, hey...all bets are off

Is that Penelope?

Found a US seller (reasonably priced) and carpe diemed. No mention of CD-Rs. Seller was rated 100%, so fingers crossed...

Carpe Diem!!!!!

Summer's here and the time is right! Technically, a Milhaud record, but included here for the JSQ's appearance on side one backing Madeleine Milhaud's recitations, which are mostly lost on me. not speaking French. Lotte Lenya in German, I can get. This, not so much. Someday, perhaps. But quite the treat indeed is "Side Two", Milhaud at the piano alone. It's gorgeous.
