    Have you ever compared the mono and stereo versions of early Capitol stereo sessions? Capitol used different mic setups for the mono and stereo recordings. The sound is drastically different.

    I have that album. I tend to like Nelson more with vocalists than on his own, but I love three tracks from that album: "Carvan," "Sweet Leilani," and "Bali Hai."

    Do you think Sea of Dreams and Jewels of the Sea are from the same photo shoot?

    I have that same Pioneer amp that you have, or that you had last year, an SX-650. I had to have it serviced several years ago to address issues similar to those you describe. It has worked great ever since.

    All I can say is, if it becomes the ancient capital of Italy in the fall, Miles' performance is not bad.

    Update: I just purchased Universal. Let me know what you'd like to see reissued.

    I have some UK Capitol Sinatra LPs that I believe date from the 1950s or 60s. I also have a Webley Edwards dating from the late 1950s. The covers are of the thin laminated variety that I typically associate with UK album sleeves. They also have the fold-over flaps along the top, bottom, and closed side on the rear cover. Based on what you are saying, are these later pressings? Would the originals have had thick covers?

    I LOVE this album. It has a very futuristic Jetsons sound with a smallish, maybe seven-piece group!

    Understood, and I am generally with you on scat singing. However, there is also the use of voices simply doing Oohs or Ahs. Or, even a repeated lyrical phrase if it becomes more about the sound of the words than the meaning itself. Completely agree about the engagement of a different part of the brain with lyrics.

    Thanks, I will add it to my list. I am currently reading three books at once: Ennio Morricone In His Own Words, All Aboard with E.M. Frimbo by Rogers E.M. Whitaker, and John Cheever short stories.

    Never heard of Donna Tartt. Any good?

    When I first heard the original album, this was my impression: A bunch of revelers were wandering through the Brasilian jungle and found an abandoned 17th-century Portuguese monastery that the jungle had reclaimed. The revelers make their way inside and proceed to have a drunken orgy. The album perfectly captures both worldly and spiritual dimensions.

    Did you ever listen to Baden Powell's re-recorded version of this album from the late 80s or early 90s? I have been mildly intrigued, but then again, I don't want to ruin the original. Kind of like how I avoided seeing the remake of Suspiria. How can you improve on Dario Argento's masterpiece? Powell apparently went crazy late in life and disowned his entire catalog, saying that it was "devil music."
  18. Teasing the Korean
    Well, my issue has to do with lyrics, and not the human voice.

    This is one of my all-time favorite albums. How liberally or conservatively are you defining "jazz" and does any Brasilian music count as "jazz?" Would the Tamba 4's cover of "Iemanja" count? The opening track "Canto de Ossanha" had a brief life as a sub-standard in the US under the name "Let Go." While pop singers recorded this tune, I wonder if any jazz musicians outside of Brasil played it. And then there is "Berimbau," which while not on the original album, apparently dates from the same three-week bender that produced the rest of the songs.

    Well, I'm a major Bob Dorough fan, so I wouldn't want to be without that tune. I realize that the inclusion of track was a very deliberate mood-busting artistic choice, and I wish that it had been included in the Miles 60s quintet box set for the sake of completion, even though it wasn't by that group. So in this case, I lean toward keeping the track intact. When I've played the album, I have skipped it about as often as I've played it, depending on my mood.

    Les Baxter's Space Escapade has the greatest album cover ever.

    Thanks all for the replies. I feel like lyrics engage a different part of my brain than instrumental music, and I find that I prefer to keep the two experiences separate. I remember when I first got David Bowie's Berlin trilogy on CD, I re-organized them into two vocal albums and an instrumental album. Similarly, when I first got the instrumental versions of the Dark Shadows tracks that had Barnabas/Quentin narrations on the original Philips LP, I re-created the LP as an all instrumental program. (I do love those recitations, though, on their own terms.)

    Are you ever bothered by the inclusion of a vocal track - specifically one with lyrics - on an otherwise instrumental album? I often find this to be jarring. I feel like I am being suddenly snapped from a dreamworld into something much more literal. I may like the vocal tracks on their own terms, but I don't necessarily want to hear them in the context of instrumentals. Just curious.

    I just learned that part of the second movement of this was used in the soundtrack of the film "Sideways." I wonder which passages.
