And now

And now grooving and beyond to this

This is the only 32 bit reissue I have, I think.

This RVG includes several Silver led piano trios. All excellent. With Art Blakey and, on one track, Sabu Martinez.

The other day I was rereading a thread about Hiroshi. And I think I got that from him. And what a beauty it is. With Nick Stabulas, by the way. And Zoot Sims and Phil Woods.

The comic part! Excellent!!! I remember that one from when it came it out. The title track with guitarist Nile Rodgers is excellent. I too am a big Smiths admirer. For me they encapsulate the 80s (together with Talking Heads). And I also consider them to be (against a very wide consensus) a 50/50 between Morrissey and Marr. I'd rather say a 40/60 in favor of Marr.

Very good article.

I think I've got that in the Grant Green/Sonny Clark box.

I have a favorite by them. It's the track Crystal Blue Persuasion and I got to know it through Breakin Bad.

And now: This is Hard Bop at its best. With a big accent on bop.

I really liked Morcheeba back in the day. That trip-hop vibe. And the next album (Wish you were here), which was one of my coming of age experiences

A very nice label based 5CD boxset. And interspersed with comments of what I assume is Mezzrow.

Yes, I remember. Because I also got them. And they were not emails, but paper magazines.

Hoodoo gurus - Magnum cum louder I was very much into this kind of music at the end of the 80s. What would turn out to be indie in the 90s. But it had long been in the making in the 80s.

Hats off to that!

I like them very much. I discovered them in Thailand in 1989, where in Bangkok you could buy very cheap bootleg cassettes, (they were quite unknown in Europe) where I got their incredible Magnum cum Louder. I had this on vinyl, and now as mp3 but with a different cover both times. This one:

Today I saw a write up of that album (Cabretta) in British magazine Mojo under the moniker Buried Treasure and called Lower East Side Stories and headed thus: "This month's four-leaf clover in rock's salvage yard: NYC street gang romance at the time of punk", although they hadn't much to do with punk, except the energy perhaps, and more with Phil Spector and the Girl groups. (listening to Mixed up shook up Girl right now) It was apparently reissued in 2018 and I remember having it on vinyl when I was 14. I have hurried to search it in Spotify and add it to my 70s music playlist.

And now after Mobley:

This is one of those Patrick Roques covers where he hit the nail. It's outstanding. Mobley playing with the reed while he's thinking of something else... But the picture is of course by Wolff.

Yeah, that one's great.

One I play far too seldom. It's very, very good.
