Teasing the Korean

They are small labels, can't confirm if they're LA or not. Both are impossible to find. They are available as downloads if you look in the right places. I would recommend downloading both before you seek out vinyl. You will have a long wait, and they'll cost you. In the mean time, how about spinning "Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat," one of my favorite LPs from the Crown label, featuring Buddy Collette and the Latin Jazz All Stars?

The former has Buddy Collette only on side 2. The latter is a great exotica LP including narration and vocals by the great Marni Nixon. If you want exotica, you really need both. However, if you want Buddy Collette LPs, you can probably live without both. I would not part with either.

I am not defending the article, but I agree with the sentiment expressed that beginning around the 1980s, when jazz started becoming a heritage industry and losing its relevance, that jazz has not been perceived as being particularly connected to any sort of social or political movements.

Ghost, which Ellingtom album has that monster track?

Thanks to Rotasi for pointing this out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15414606

As a huge Morricone fan - I must have 50 of his albums - and a moderate Zorn fan, I would not consider this album a masterpiece by any stretch.

About 6 years ago, my wife got Pete's phone number and was going to call him in connection with some liner notes she was writing. It turned out that she had enough material and we never called. I kind of regret it now.

Last night: LH&R - The Swingers - Pacific Jazz (80s reissue).

Peter Thomas - Chariots of the Gods OST - Polydor

Peter Thomas - 100% Cotton OSTs - Crippled Dick Hot Wax

That's good news! I had a nightmare the other night that I was permanently banned from shopping at Stereo Jack's! I thought that it may have been an omen. Glad I was wrong. I can still shop there, right? Right?

My Dad had: The Double Six of Paris's US Capitol LP TV Action Jazz by Mundell Lowe Voice of the Xtabay by Yma Sumac Music Out of the Moon by Les Baxter (45 box set). I still have all of these

So what's the latest?

Bumping up this thread. I just found the 2-disc version for a great price. Listened to about half of disc one and it sounds great. Looking forward to all the bonus stuff.

You are Number 6.

OMG! Here is recording they made just for fun in 2000! http://www.frequency.com/video/the-third-wave-/3881787 I always wondered what happened to them!

Communication '72 - Verve Excellent Michel Legrand album with a saxophone player.

I love the Alolfo Brazuca stuff from the early 70s. Especially love the funky spacey numbers with rhodes. No idea what he's done for the past four decades or so. That's what I get for being fixated on the vinyl era.

I think there were at least two releases of the the Quintette sides with the same cover art. The second supposedly has better sound, but I have only the first issue, so I can't compare.

"Beatlesque" "___________ is like _________ on acid."

LO f*cking L!
