Teasing the Korean

I think so. I mean soe.

I see that she also recorded an album in the 1970s under the name Bettye Miller.

Anyone have this album? It was reissued by Fresh Sound. My Dad had this LP. For decades, I remembered the album cover, but not the artist. Just curious. I can't find it on the InterTubes.

I must about 25 of his albums - none of which I paid more than couple of bucks for - and Impressions of the Middle East is by far my favorite.

I have it in the Latin section, but the Brazilian section may be more appropriate. I dunno, Brazilian tunes with Latin percussion. Kind of a toss-up.

His Verve album Flautista includes a long (8+ minutes) track called "Amazon River." I curated a series called Buried Treasures, which included exotica tracks from otherwise non-exotica albums, and this appeared on one volume. If you like lengthy hypnotic and impressionistic tracks, you may like this one. And his album Today features a nice version of the Edu Lobo/Vinicius tune "Arrastao" which I included on my Bossa Nunca compilation.

Bumping in memory of Croz.

Always loved "Vision" kicking off McCoy Tyner's Expansions.

Great story! Welcome to the forum!

I just learned that Angelo Badalamenti, under the name A. Badale, cowrote several of the tracks on Jean Jacques Perrey's Moog Indigo album!

I amassed quite a Duke Ellington LP collection over the 1990s, when they would practically pay you to haul away records. I have original LPs, box sets, double album comps. Many CDs too. I regret not buying more of the French LP series back when Stereo Jack's sold them for $2.99 a throw.

They are just awful. The fact that their greatest hits album is the greatest selling LP of all time really says something, though I'm not quite sure what.

Thanks for your concern. I'll get by.

Most of the musicians I listen to have already been dead for years if not decades. I'm surprised when I find out someone is still alive. There is a Gene Lees quote about growing up surrounded by all these towering figures, all of whom die one by one. He said it's like they are clear-cutting the forest of the your life.

I liked the Byrds. I checked out after that. RIP.

Nor has it ben with me. As I said multiple times in the thread, I was raised with zero, zilch religion and am completely agnostic. This kind of thing appeals to me as an outsider looking in, and also because the mood nicely pairs with the bleakness of January and February. But it is really an aesthetic I am seeking. Messages of rebirth, the ecology, etc. The best examples will have a choir, along with a jazz-rock backing, e.g, updating religious messages with the sounds of today. If they throw in a Moog, even better. Any religious elements will be coming from a 70s progressive perspective and not an 80s fundamentalist angle. David Axelrod's Earth Rot album is probably the purest distillation of what I'm seeking, and he sustains it for the entire LP. If In a Silent Way had a choir and lyrics about rebirth or the ecology, it would make the cut. Take 3:43 out of your life and turn on and tune in to this.

If it's that long, they hopefully grabbed the better tracks, so it may be redundant. The problem with the Quartet release is that the space between tracks could have been tightened up for my taste. There is dead air embedded in the tracks, and it loses it's momentum. I loaded it into ProTools and improved it by tightening the transitions.

I assume the Quartet CD has more of the film music, as it takes up an entire disc. How long is the suite?

For the last several years in January and February, Ms. TTK and I have enjoyed watching snow westerns. I have kept a running list. Here is what we've seen so far, in alphabetical order. The greatest of these IMO is McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The others vary. If you have others to add to the list, please let me know. Breakheart Pass The Claim Cry of the Black Wolves Cutthroats 9 Day of the Outlaw Death Hunt The Far Country Il Grande Silenzio Hateful 8 Jeremiah Johnson The Last Hunt Little Big Man McCabe & Mrs. Miller Ravenous The Revenant Ride the High Country Secret of Convict Late Track of the Cat White Buffalo The Wild North

I agree with you, and I've actually had people argue with me that music in entirely subjective, which I think is BS. I you are auditioning drummers, you can objectively say who has better time and a lighter touch.

A few years back, Quartet Records released the film score to Last Tango in Paris, which is a completely different experience from the LP with the same name. It is combined on CD with the LP version. https://quartetrecords.com/product/last-tango-in-paris/

But when others provide those assessments, we don't always know what they are based on, and we really can't know what they are hearing. We may assume that a musician can provide more in-depth or nuanced evaluations, but even musicians hear things differently from each other.

That is the larger question. I've known people who love music, but who can't carry a tune to save their lives. They must be hearing something that they like.

That is interesting! It happened most recently with "You Go to My Head." She walked in the room in the middle of the solos. I told her when a new chorus was starting. I think she guessed correctly during the first 8 bars. As you say, there are a number of jazz tunes in which they Frankensteined together changes from different tunes, but if a listener can identify which tune the progression is lifted from, that would still demonstrate this ability.

So, in other words, we can't even read an article about the vinyl resurgence that is free of this nonsense?
