Dub Modal

The last few I've been able to listen to: And now currently playing: This was all after listening to Crispell's Circles, which got better after the first tune. Although both Lake and Buettner are super-buzzy on that recording which for listening's sake knocks it down a peg for me.

Not the first time I've listened to this but just finishing up the first track Rituel and wondering WTF I'm listening to and why

Well, the title makes sense

Van Eps is a new artist for me. Searching around his discography and I can't find this track but am blown away by looking him up on YT. Finger picking a 7 string acoustic huh?

Thanks for the link. Watching now. Cool watching the re-enactment of Bix woodshedding next to the record player

Then:

From one orchestra to another

Disc 1

Yeah, the way I worded that was wrong. It's possible that the hit team assembled for Seagrave was the same for Liu. They may have switched targets when they couldn't locate Seagrave.

Thanks for linking this. Makes this a must buy for me.

Nice. Thanks!

Listening again. The drummer's shuffle style on #6 really makes that track work for me. When they break down with the bass and guitar it's a nice little jam. Others are put off by the snyth piano and yeah, it's the worst part of this song. @Milestones ID'd this one already but outside of the synths I think it's a good track. That drummer would be Kenwood Dennard who is a totally new name for me.

The only late Mulligan I have is Little Big Horn on CD which is from '83 and I don't find it to be that good - spotty at best. Maybe not Mulligan's fault but whatever the reason I'm rarely inclined to play it. Other than the Live at MCG set what other dates are recommended?

Never heard either of these. I bet they're good.

Omnivore has the CD listed at $27.98 and the digital download for $12.99: http://omnivorerecordings.com/shop/retrospect-in-retirement-of-delay/

Just finished up what I would consider essential reading if you have any curiosity about the subject: And now cracking open a book that put this particular author's life in danger, and unfortunately resulted in the assassination of journalist Henry Liu:

Then:

I picked this one up in the past couple of weeks and just gave it a spin. Great stuff:

Coming a little late on this one. Thanks for the space on the link - got to avoid the earlier comments...Great selection on these tracks. Lots of good melodies. Definitely enjoyed the listen. 1- Big rhythm on this one. Love the switch when the horns come in. Awesome sax solo. Is this from the 40s? 2- Great funky blues. This smokes. Is it live? there's some banter in places Fantastic bass solo too. 3- Holy sax player. Did he quote Woody Woodpecker there at the end? Great tune. 4 - Elevated mood on this one. Sounds like a proto-contemporary revival kind of song. 5 - Sounds related to #4 a bit, at least in terms of mood. Flirts with muzak-esque territory a little bit. 6 - Is this an 80s recording? Great funk for that decade if so. Love the comment at the end lol. Overall sound is like something from Herbie Hancock. 7 - The speed reminds me of Pat Martino or Joe Pass but not sure if it's their sound. 8 - Sweet guitar playing here. Song is familiar but I can't name it. 9 - Not for me 10 - Someone can play a guitar very well. The percussion works too. 11 - Is that Coryell on guitar? Maybe Corea on keys? Fast stuff. 12 - Woody Herman? 13 - Dramatic arrangement. 14 - Love the tempo of this track. Very laid back but still super funky. 15 - Wild shredding from the guitarist. 16 - Sounds a bit like Rypdal on guitar. Really interesting track. On a hunch I searched discogs for Rypdal/Darling and found this one. Fifth song from here. Probably named elsewhere in the thread by now. I've never listened to this album but now I have to hear it. 17 - Wish I liked this, but can't. Unique for sure. 18 - Dug the sax solo.

From this weekend into this morning:

I use DDG periodically, but really your IP address can be traced, tracked, stored, etc. Outside of a good VPN there's really no online privacy.

Then:

Definitely! Same here lol. Looks like a Mercedes but I can't tell

I love this comp Need to track down these albums that the songs were pulled from.
