  1. I have this on an LP but I can't remember the artist, album, or song. I think it's the last track on a side. It is an early-1900s-era male vocal quartet singing a cappella, taken from a 78 or Edison cylinder, and the sax player is simultaneously blowing over the changes. Any ideas?
  2. McCoy Tyner - Sama Layuca (Milestone) Found this filed under T in my Exotica section. At first I thought it was misfiled, as I probably have 15 Tyner LPs in the Jazz section. After playing it, I think filing it under Exotica was a deliberate choice.
  3. Claude Denjean - Moog (London/Decca Phase 4)
  4. I love it. It is a low-key, chill, stoner album, and I'm happy to take the CD off your hands!
  5. Wendy Carlos - A Clockwork Orange (WB) After this, we may play her Columbia LP of the same title, which has some repetition, but also full-length versions of some of the excerpts on the WB.
  6. I was going to call the thread, Album Covers with Naked Brazilians in Wagons with Broken Wheels (SFW Version), but I thought that would be too restrictive. So I relaxed the criteria a bit, being that I'm all about inclusivity.
  7. We should do a "Six Degrees of Push Push" thread and see how many album covers are within six degrees of that one!
  8. Was there a flask of poison and a radioactive source in the wagon?
  9. Somebody better jump on that Sun Ra book before I buy myself a second copy!
  10. Oh, Dear. If The City is messing up your mind, wait until you hear Larry Elgart's Impressions of Outer Space, from 1953! It fits nicely into my beloved Twilight Zone Jazz micro-genre!
  11. Bobby Scott was an interesting guy. He composed and arranged an album titled The City, credited to Larry Elgart, on MGM. It is a tone poem portraying the many moods of the concrete jungle. It is very densely arranged throughout; it feels like the full ensemble - brass, reeds, and rhythm - is playing most of the time, with few changes in texture and density. I like nearly all of the tracks on their own - they sound great in playlists sandwiched between other tracks - but I tend to feel fatigued when I listen to the whole album at one sitting. https://www.amazon.com/The-Village/dp/B0B79WKCDX This is one of the better tracks on the album, but there are things to like throughout.
  12. I know McNulty when I see him!
  13. McNulty, from The Wire!
  14. That's a good guess. I should have mentioned for others that Shazam doesn't seem to work. Also, the piece changes character along the way. It starts out more "classical" leaning, but becomes jazzier later on. Ogerman is a good guess.
  15. This was posted on a FB group. The OP is trying to determine the artist/album. Some have suggested that it sounds like something on ECM. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/j8KDaYWg78DGpwjY/?mibextid=FQVVTg
  16. Profiles was also issued as half of a 70s twofer LP with Gil Evans' Out of the Cool, as part of the impulse! Dedication Series. This is a potentially cheaper option if originals are scarce.
  17. The Gary McFarland Orchestra with Bill Evans (Verve, mono) This one is really good!!!
  18. Yes, that's on my mono copy. But isn't there at least one track that uses different takes between the mono and stereo? I want to say "Solitude," but I may be wrong.
  19. That's right, thank you. This one is overdue for a spin. I have mono copy, which I think has different takes of a couple of tunes compared to the stereo.
