Teasing the Korean

Saturday Bossa Breakfast: Lalo Schifrin - Insensatez - Verve (stereo)

Yeah! MG One last thing... Does it have 'vangelder' on dead wax? I am asking it because my wife's Liberty copy doesn't. Vangelder in deadwax. Who says there are no more bargains?

Dominic Frontiere - Love Eyes - Columbia 6 eye (mono) A concept album from the space-age bachelor pad era, portraying the many moods of love. Frontiere is best known for scoring the first season of "The Outer Limits," considered to be one of the most uncompromisingly original TV shows during its first incarnation.

Big Gabor fan here. I'm a real sucker for any 60s jazz or pseudo-jazz that has an eastern/Indian element to it. Some of Chico Hamilton's 60s Impulse albums with Gabor sound like soundtracks for American International films about teenagers on Sunset Strip experimenting with hallucinogens. That said, I don't like everything that Gabor did. All of his Impulse albums are great, but his Skye and CTI albums were hit or miss. 1969 is a very sleepy easy listening album, though it has a couple of good tracks. The CTI album I really like is Mizrab. The other CTI album sounds like Allman Brothers jams - at least it did after one single spin, before I unloaded it. It's sad that the 3 musicians who formed Skye - Gabor, Gary, and Cal - all died young. All three are in heavy rotation on my turntable.

I'll check when I get home. I doubt it, though, being that I paid $3 for it.

McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy - Blue Note (stereo) McCoy's late 60's stuff has such an irresistible TV jazz sound. And that's a supreme compliment, BTW. It makes me wish he would have given up any artistic pretensions and just scored episodes of Columbo.

Julie London - In Person at the Americana - Liberty (mono) Live LPs like this provide a secret window in the collective unconscious of postwar America. And she was a great singer, regardless of what her detractors say...

A Blue Note record is going out of print? I didn't think that was possible.

Sergio Mendes - The Beat of Brasil - Atlantic stereo US issue of early session for Brasilian Philips. The perfect record for today's young couple drinking chianti and baking brie after a long day at the office, as a pacific breeze wafts through an open window.

As another Gary completist, I started a lengthy thread about this in the Releases section a few weeks back. I got the CD and it's a welcome addition to G McF's catalog. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=40463

It's interesting that many Capitol artists back in the day did not like recording at the Tower. Les Baxter said in an interview that he preferred other studios, and the Beach Boys rarely recorded there. Not sure what the issue was. Trivia: The first album recorded at the tower was the Sinatra project "Tone Poems of Color," an instrumental album in which various composers/arrangers contributed pieces that portrayed various colors.

Gary McFarland - Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon - Skye Perfect record for the young couple making dinner after a long day at the office.

I have a room full of toxic plastics. I frequently post about them in the "What Vinyl are you Spinning" thread.

McCoy Tyner - Tender Moments - Blue Note (stereo).

Pete Rugolo - Adventures in Rhythm - Columbia maroon label (mono)

Victor Young - Around the World in 80 Days OST - Decca (stereo)

I've often wanted to.

Cooking vegetable tempura for dinner, so I'm spinning: Tak Shindo - Brass and Bamboo - Capitol (rainbow mono) I can has tempura!

Cooking vegetable tempura for dinner, so I'm spinning: Dave Brubeck - Jazz Impressions of Japan - Columbia 2 eye mono One of my favorites by him. I can has tempura!

Brasil '66 - Stillness - A&M The last album with Lani Hall, before they became Brasil '77

While CDs are not inherently too long, many of us came of age during the LP era. I have become conditioned to the 20-or-so minute LP side as a substantial yet digestible serving of music.

Sergio Mendes - The Great Arrival - Atlantic stereo Edu Lobo - Historia de MPB - Abril Cultural w/ Tamba Trio, Elis Regina, Nara Leao, Maria Bethania, and many more (as they say in the ad biz).

When I buy a new album that I've never heard before, I typically spin Side 2 first. Not sure why. So much for track order.
