Dub Modal

caught a break 8 - HBD as others have cited. Least favorite so far. No guesses. 9 - A kiss is still a kiss song which I don't know the official title of. Player ID'd on this very nice song. 10 - This starts out so good and then fizzles a bit. Is/was the sax player young at the time of recording? The drum/bass portions are the best. Sax player always comes in strong at first but just loses ground quickly. 11 - Missing link between some North African style and American bluegrass? I'm largely ignorant on that region and India (other parts of Asia as well) in case that is represented here too. I would enjoy bluegrass festivals a lot more if something like this was present because I definitely hear it in those interludes. Eager for the reveal on this one. That percussion is powerful. 12 - The production of this track holds it back from being better. It has so much potential weight - I'm betting this is great live. 13 - Nice - 2 organ tunes in a row. Production is better here, by miles. Guitarist throws an homage to Grant Green in there with those repeated notes? Hilarious if so. Because I'm 100% sure it ain't Grant. This one comes much later but has an authentic throw back feel that comes from a good place. Damn, another one I'm waiting to be revealed. 14 - Ok, I totally missed this my first time through. I've never heard this shit live and damn it's so good. I never thought of seeking out live tracks of the OPs (and others). Going to have to remedy that!!! Once again, thanks for putting this together!

Returning to this with more time... 1 - I get more Hubbard than Morgan from the trumpet. Is it their date? As I've learned here, drum mic'ing can indicate time frame of recording, and that here is where all parts of the kit seem mic'd. That should indicate a more recent recording but I still don't have any guesses. 2 - The playing is great and I like some of the interactions, especially in the last 3rd. Sounds like they could play this more balls out and muscular but they ended up striving for subtlety which at worst is getting too cute with things, but these players keep it on the better side of cerebral because there's some good convos in here. I like this the more i listen to it actually. 3 - Charles Lloyd-esque, but the playing from the tenor sounds less direct. Overall the song is nice. Near the end it dips into trio level and that was my favorite part. 4 - This is different for sure. I have no guesses. Eager to find out who this is. 5 - Ha, I like the beginning. There's some humor there. Especially as to how they follow that up. I really like this but no guesses. 6 - Looks like this one has been guessed and now I can't believe I missed this song and guitarist the first time around. Nice add. 7 - Excellent. No idea but I dig it. Will need to revisit the rest soon.

Great, thanks!

I have a partial of that set, 2 of the CDs I think. Just that little bit made me regret not buying the box while it was in stock/print. Now prices are a bit prohibitive, so the download sounds like a great option

Bremen streams on Spotify and the sound is fine. I haven't noticed any vinyl rip artifacts or muffled whatever. That Amazon review is bizarre and seems to be way off the mark assuming the CD would be the same as the streaming album.

I haven't heard that one. Looks like it may parallel with O'Neill's book along with Martin Lee & Bruce Shlain's Acid Dreams. (which is also on my to read list).

From Erotica to Exotica...Love this cover art.

Forbidden Planet is a good one

Just finished Tom O'Neill's 2019 book Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties Good book and rec'd if the topic is of interest.

Not sure if this is exact or not but the Kamuca/Holman West Coast Jazz in HiFi album is nice (aka Jazz Erotica), with Holman on bari and arrangements. Two of the songs are his compositions as well. RIP

Ha, yep. The draw of that tune is Withers' singing and the break beat.

Kynard's Afro-disiac Love the band on this one: Purdie, Green, Person & Jimmy Lewis.

I'd love to order this. I don't have Medina, Spiral or Patterns but since I got laid off times are tight. I imagine this one will sell fast bc this is prime Hutch. As for his other albums not on this one, I've never heard Now! so will have to try that one. Not a fan of Head On, but I do like Montara, although it doesn't necessarily come across as a Hutch album. Linger Lane is cool - didn't he record that in a forest?

Nice. On Jupiter is a great album too

Are the codes baked into purchases made thru the app? I never see any opportunities there to enter them before finalizing a purchase.

Thanks for the heads up on Claire Daly. Also picked up some other stuff including the Abdul Wadud solo album and the Mars Williams/Hamid Drake from C vs D.

Not a Pats fan but I thought they'd snag Harrison too. They're in need of a receiver and him or Nabers would have been a nice pick up.

These rookie QBs will be interesting to follow as they develop. I'd lean bust on most (esp Penix and Nix) but Williams is set up with some high grade fire power in Chicago and could be very good.

Yikes

Artists aren't making money otherwise so I get it, but I won't be buying anything at those prices.

I either wait for paperbacks or audio versions. After that it's the library. Unless it's for a good cause or someone i know, I tend to avoid hardbacks.

Apparently he didn't have many good things to say about that marriage but that's from word of mouth as I haven't read that memoir.

Good stuff. Listened to all the tracks and enjoyed them. No guesses but thanks for putting it together.

As a native NC'er that title intrigues me quite a bit

That is absolute horse shit logic of the first degree from major labels. Sucks that Spotify caved.
