I never knew Dick Hyman did an album with Stockhausen.

The Beatles did indeed destroy rock 'n' roll, and thank God that they did. I'll take their music from the Rubber Soul/Yesterday and Today/Revolver period over any early rock 'n' roll.

That one should blow your speakers apart ! Yep! I had to put Ahmad Jamal's At The Blackhawk on after it, in order to calm my wife down. I spoke too soon. 'Grantstand' just caused my NAP 250 to overheat and cut out. The top of the amp was pretty damn hot ! Re: 'New Fantasy' - It must be a 'woman thing' - total hatred of big band music and fortissimo trumpets. Yet to meet one who likes it. That 'New Fantasy' is a great listen though, especially cranked up. Lalo Schifrin is a total GODDESS. I LOVE THIS ALBUM, I have a mono copy.

See you on the radio Wednesday morning at 9. Or anytime for the following week, until the show is lost forever to the ether.

It's Nancy Wilson who is on the Marshmallow Sofa:

Modern furniture is supposed to look good in your pad. You're not supposed to use it.

You sure did! Did I dream this or is there a Nina Simone album where she's on a marshmallow sofa?

All I can say is JAZZ HEAT, BONGO BEAT!!!!!

You're too cool for me. I am not worthy...

Gene Clark and the Gosdin Brothers - Columbia (2 eye mono)

Has anyone read the Gene Clark bio "Mr. Tambourine Man?" It is such a sad story - intense stage fright, distaste for touring and traveling, endless substance abuse. In some ways, he never really got his career into a consistent groove after the Byrds. On the other hand, he made at least 5 really solid albums after the Byrds, created a substantial body of work, and wrote at least 3 tunes that have left a lasting impression, at least on couple of generations of listeners. I have been listening a lot to the 2-disc "Preflyte Sessions" from 1964, most of which consists of Gene Clark songs - many never recorded for Columbia. While McGuinn's 12-string Rick and Crosby's harmonies in many ways define the Byrds sound, I still contend that Clark's songs were the best material they ever did. That said, "Younger Than Yesterday," recorded after Clark left, is a pop/rock masterpiece. IMHO.

This elusive soundtrack has finally been reissued on LP with a slew of bonus tracks from the film: http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=12471
