Wow! Interesting they seem to be emptying the classic BN catalog now. I might go for this one.

Nice grunge/pop from this female duo

Great surf piece by NY alt-rock legends Yo La Tengo

Agreed. That Marianne Faithfull album is special.

Don't forget Woody Herman. He put out some high energy albums in the early 70s on OJC. Giant Steps might the be best of them. MF Horn 4&5, Live at Jimmy's was a really good live album. You can feel the energy in this set. Gerald Wilson has been mentioned a couple of times. The Pacific Jazz stuff (especially the Mosaic box) was great, and there is a live set included.

I'll have to check out Lunafied!

Wow!

Well ... he DOES play it a lot!

Always good!

They're playing here in SF this week

I remember Dweezil was sort of ostracized for a while and he couldn't even use the "Zappa" name when touring and playing his father's songs. Apparently they worked things out somehow.

Gordon's son Bruce is a long-time sports reporter for the SF Chronicle. He recently retired from full time work, but still writes a weekly column. Very smart and funny.

Never seen those 2 packaged together, but worth "coming back to" for SURE!

I'm not sure what a "successor band" is. They're not related, though. It's an all star band of hard bop veterans. BTW, I believe David Weiss occasionally drops by Organissimo.

Their best album in a LONG time. As usual with them, it takes a few listenings to really get into it.

I like their albums. Maybe not as adventurous as you would think, but there's nothing wrong with them.

Hadn't heard this in a long time. Great tune!

Allah-Las - "LAHS"

Soccer Mommy

Porcupine Tree "CLOSURE/CONTINUATION"

Great album - NO question!
