Teasing the Korean

By the way, feel free to make fun of my posts. We are all just disembodied fields of energy here, anyway!

I could care less what "they" say, or what you say, for that matter. Next. The original post was made in jest, as were all the other posts to this thread. Try not to let it get to you so much.

Well, that's kind of nasty, and both post more about jazz than I do... Seriously? I've never seen either post on a music thread. Maybe they haunt different threads than I do. Weizen pops into hardbop and TOJC/mini-LP threads, while Berigan likes to drop in on swing/early-jazz threads (not a whole lot of those here, generally speaking). They're both pretty passionate jazz fans--I can attest to that. I agree - and it seems almost mean spirited to attack them like that, especially when there are certainly posters on the other side of the political spectrum who post almost exclusively in the political forum. No doubt. I don't read or post on any of the threads that were mentioned. I have encountered those two ONLY on the political forums.

Threads with posts by Weizen and Berigan that have anything to do with music or jazz.

An overlooked gem. Yes, back in the day when everyone was making a bossa nova record, jazzers like me often sneered, but some of them were very good indeed. This one and the Getz/McFarland Big Band Bossa Nova come to mind. Curiously, the Ellington isn't really a bossa album at all. I think that was a marketing ploy. Back then, anything "ethnic" could be passed off as bossa.

What glue are you currently sniffing?

You missed 1984 to 1989, when they were REALLY awful!

An overlooked gem.

Aloc's contributions to "What vinyl are you spinning" are endlessly entertaining. I admire and relate to his broad taste in music.

JS Bach - 4 Concertos for Harpsichords and Orchestra - Nonesuch (stereo) Karl Ristenpart, Chamber Orchestra of the Sarre. You really get your money's worth out of Nonesuch records, but with 30 minutes to a side you also have to CRANK UP THE VOLUME.

Murray Wilson - The Many Moods of Murray Wilson

Percy Faith - Black Magic Woman

Enoch Light - Permissive Polyphonics

Ethel Smith - Cha Chas and Mambos

The Three Suns - Fever and Smoke

The only reason to have the Murray album is for the record cover, and on a CD you won't get that. Keep digging the used crates for a copy. The cover is stunning, deserving of a much better record inside. The Transformed Man is actually an excellent album. The songs are thoughtfully paired together, and the arrangements by Don Ralke are really interesting. I really love that album, and I don't mean on a camp level. The record store that time forgot, Cheapo Records in Central Square in Cambridge, used to have amazing amounts of old stock that was sealed. The had a sealed copy of the Murray Wilson in the early 90s for like $6.99, and like an idiot I didn't buy it. I eventually found a copy a thrift store.

Randy Weston/Melba Liston - Uhuru Afrika - Roulette (stereo)

I'm pretty sure that next season will be the final one. Oh, wait, you guys are talking about the other Monk.

Ginastera: Panambi (suite) - Everest (purple and gold label, mono) Goossens & the LSO I am OBESSED with this piece. Imagine if Debussy had composed "The Rite of Spring." I also have the full-length 40 minute version on a Naxos CD. Essential 20th Century moderne primitivism.
