I guess it's old news that was new to me. I found the list to be a little daunting...not sure what my point was either.

Right now: I can never get enough "Gibraltar." :rsmile:

Bossa Nova Brasil is the compilation "Consolicao" is on, and a fine compilation it is. I've been in a hard bop phase, but when I swing back to things Brasilian I'm thinking Baden Powell will be a first choice. :rsmile:

Thanks Lon.

I have this track by Baden Powell called "Consolicao" on a compilation that is some really tasty acoustic guitar playing. Is that song a good representation of his other material?

Of the three I have, the Kynard is my favorite. Some good, greasey funk on "Sweetheart"--and "Winter's Child" has this real nice laid-back groove.

Playing this again this morning... :rsmile: :rsmile:

Tonight: Les McCann Invitation To Openness Just picked this up tonight, along with Larry Coryell's Barefoot Boy. I am listening to the Les McCann for the first time and it has yet to make a noise I didn't instantly love. :rsmile:

I'm considering doing a night session at this dump an hour from LA called Mountain High(should be Hill Low). It's super small, but can be fun. Then again it can be a windy, slushy, icy-hard, and/or crowded as hell. At least it's only 20 clams. Wish I was in that Colorado powder!

"Destination Paradise" is on this disc: :rsmile:

That's funny shit. There's a Yusef Lateef song called "Destination Paradise" that has this really slow bass line intro and upon hearing it a friend of mine asked, "What is this heroin music we're listening to?" I love slow mellow stuff just as much as I love fast stuff, but I could see what he was saying.

Donald Byrd Electric Byrd "Xibaba" :rsmile:

Right now: The Blue Yusef Lateef, the song "Like It Is", a personal favorite.

Speaking of BMG, I just joined and pillaged them for the following: Art Blakey--Live At Birdland 1&2 Wayne Shorter--Juju & Speak No Evil Horace Silver--Jody Grind & Blowin' The Blues Away Herbie Hancock--Empyrean Isles Miles Davis--Walkin' Stanley Turrentine & The 3 Sounds--2cd Stan Getz & The Cool Sounds Dizzy Gillespie with Stitt & Rollins Shirley Scott--Talkin' Verve Compilation I posted this in another thread, but methinks it is better placed here. I can't wait for these to arrive! :rsmile:

Right now: Jimmy McGriff "The Worm"

I dunno if these new perv boy drinks could replace the delicious Sapporos I just guzzled.

Clifford Brown is next on my list, that's why I was scoping this thread out. :rsly:

This thread rocks. Hip hop and Bulgarian wedding music being simultaneously discussed!

God help me, I've turned into a middle aged white man... my first reaction to this list is "why can't these morons spell?" Even more bizarre, I remember how they misspelled the words. Can one diagnose one's self with obsessive compulsive disorder?

How 'bout a nice, cool drink, varmint? Menace to the golfing industry--you're one of the lowest members of the food chain and you'll probably be replaced by the rat...

De La's new stuff is pretty good. Check out the tracks "View" or "Declaration" if you're downloading. Also, check out the track they recently did with Cee-Lo, whose album "Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections" is a hot one to look for. He is the stand-out member of Goodie Mob, whose debut "Soul Food" is also worth a listen.

Here's a few classics off the top of my head: The Great Adventures of Slick Rick The Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" Ice Cube "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" EPMD "Strictly Business" De La Soul "3 Feet High & Rising" "...Is Dead" A Tribe Called Quest "People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm" "The Low End Theory" Digable Planets debut/"Blowout Comb" Del Tha Funkee Homosapien "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" Common Sense "Can I Borrow A Dollar?" "Resurrection" KRS-One "Return Of The Boom-Bap" Redman "Whut?!! The Album" Gang Starr "Step In The Arena" Bahamadia "Kollage" Jeru Tha Damaja "Wrath Of The Math" The Roots "Organix" "Do You Want More" Wu-Tang Clan "Enter The Wu" Genius/GZA "Liquid Swordz" Black Sheep "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" The Pharcyde "Bizarre Ride" "Labcabincalifornia" Outkast "Southernplayalisticcadillacfunkymusic" "ATliens" Aceyalone "A Book Of Human Language" "Accepted Eclectic" The Grouch "Making Perfect Sense" Blood Of Abraham Typical Cats Dan The Automator "A Much Better Tomorrow" DJ Krush "KRUSH" "Meiso" DJ Honda Lyricist Lounge Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star Mos Def "Black On Both Sides" Talib Kweli debut/ "Quality" JLive's debut Quasimoto "The Unseen"

Jazz, funk, r&b, blues, reggae, hip-hop, rock, punk, alternative...in that order. Depends on my mood, actually.
