Interesting that the Obits so far appear to be missing what I always regarded as two milestones: the excellent George Benson single, which led the way to the Michael Jackson successes, and the slightly dubious (but surely obit-appropriate) fact that his 1960s jazz hits include what would become the Theme to Austin Powers.
Julius Hemphill – Raw Materials And Residuals
Actually, the fact that my mother in law is allergic to grandchildren is meaning that I'm getting in lots of listening this weekend whilst childminding.
I asked him whether he enjoyed the record and he said it was brilliant because it was like when he plays guitar himself. Which i guess is fair.
I'm afraid to say it was more about battling lego men than building.
Those are such great records.
Last one of the session:
Sun Ra - Cosmic Tones
End of session sadly. My deaf mother in law is with us for a week so opportunities to play music are pretty slim.
