  1. That's true. I thought about it myself after posting. I had the image of Whitaker's rounded face in my mind and thought is the main character RZA or somebody else?
  2. Gimme Danger, a 2016 documentary about Iggy Pop and the Stooges, I haven't seen, but which should be good given his fixation with that genre from Neil Young to the Talking Heads and to Ghost Dog, a movie about a black Samurai played by RZA, which I didn't even know was his. I have the soundtrack and haven't seen it. Broken Flowers, a very good movie from 2005 with Bill Murray, sprinkled with Ethio influences, from music to coffee. Coffee and Cigarettes, again with Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni, Iggy Pop, Cate Blanchet, Bill Murray and others. But it's from 2003, while I thought it was from much earlier. And music's always fantastic on his movies. Night on Earth, from 1991 with Winona Ryder and others. Mystery Train, which is about a Japanese young couple in Memphis and with Screamin Jay Hawkins. Stranger than Paradise, which I haven't seen but it was his second movie. Should be very interesting. It's on my watchlist.
  3. I recently resaw that one. Very good .With Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni and John Lurie. Jarmusch is one of my personal heroes.
  4. Picked this up recently, when I went to fetch the Henderson Mosaic. I was aware of Cox before as there had been I think a Conn reissue of his first album on BN from 1968. But I didn't know he had founded Strata East and even had an album there.
  5. Like this from 2000-2001, in which Madlib plays versions of Wonder tracks. Here is a review.
  6. That is, has been and will forever be my favorite Prince album. Ever since it came out.
  7. That's what I'm going to do tonight. And thanks for reminding me. That was my intention, but I'd already lost the point. I.e. didn't remember what I wanted to play.
  8. Yes, I visit one in my hometown regularly. Jazzmessengers, which is the only jazz-specialized store left. And they're very well sorted. They always store the latest jazz releases.
  9. This is, as you say, the double CD:
  10. Yes, but that was a lot of years ago. Now it resembles more the first.
  11. I'm playing this again and enjoying it mightily. There was a mention of Panart's role in the liners of the comp on Cuban music from the 70s and 80s, I mentioned here. Which described the development of Cuban music from the 30s onward.
  12. It's still in existence in many parts of the world.
  13. That's the one I have and want very much (prior to this) to reread soon. I wanted to point out that I also consider this a very good book on bossa nova.
  14. I don't know that. But now looking at the other cover I'm starting to feel as if I had that too. Transamazonica definitely sounds familiar, but I thought it was by somebody else. I've just checked: I don't have the first example right now. But I'm almost sure I had it before.
  15. Aaaah, I see.
  16. Yes, that's also my point of view.
  17. That is the second great achievement of the site. But were all these discographies not available somewhere before?
  18. I have the second of your examples, and must add that it's a very good album. By the way, there was another artist, also Brazilian, who also used the name Brazuca, albeit much later. In the mid 2000s. I think his name was Wagner Pa. The transamazonica was that trans-Amazon highway built somewhere in the 70s.
  19. Another gem from londoners Soul Jazz. Cuban music from the 70s and 80s. Most of it unknown until now outside the island. Due to the US trade embargo.
  20. That is, I think, the strongest point of the new website. And one they're building their future upon, I think. They sit above a real treasure trove. All the Wolff pics.
