Friday at SFJAZZ: Scott Amendola, drums & electronics Wil Blades, Hammond B3 organ & keyboards Skerik, saxophones Jeff Parker, guitar Cyro Baptista, percussion a/k/a - "AMENDOLA VS. BLADES VS. SKERIK VS. BAPTISTA VS. PARKER" Should be a fun show.

This was a very interesting s/t from 1991. Haven't listened to it in a long time. I forgot how good it is.

Looking forward to seeing them next year at SFJAZZ. Saw Allison Miller and Carmen Staaf ‘Science Fair’ w/Dayna Stephens, Jason Palmer, Matt Penman at the NYC Winter JazzFest last January and they were very good, too.

The Dukes of Stratosphear (XTC) Psurroundabout Ride gathers all of the Dukes’ material on a CD/Blu-Ray set, with both of the band’s albums (plus 2 extra tracks) remixed in stereo and 5.1 surround by Steven Wilson (approved by Andy Partridge).

Phil Manzanera - K-Scope

100% - and still a great album. Vintage Joe Farrell, too!

A must-have, for sure!

Seventeen Seconds by Frankie Rose The quality of the interpretations here speak for themselves, but here's Frankie talking about tackling this Cure album: "Since I already think it's a perfect record, I tried not to reinterpret too much and stick to similar sounds as the original, but with a twist. Working on it with Jorge Elbrecht was a dream, because he's the only person who’s as deep of a Cure fan as I am! And he's a damn wizard!" Together Frankie and Jorge have created something quite special, paying loving tribute to this well-loved album while still putting their own very contemporary stamp on the songs.

Agreed!

Ha Ha!! Never saw Cactus, but did see Bogart and Appice with Jeff Beck.

That was a good album. I haven't heard it in a LONG time, though. Came out a little after this one, which is also good.

I liked this Rush album that is literally ... CLASSIC!

I'd like to see more 'official' info on this, of course.

That Cellar Door box was an amazing set that I don't see mentioned very often.

Speaking of the 'Mats, drummer Chris Mars put out a handful of interesting solo albums. This is one of his best.

Unfortunately, there's no explanation for why they're terminating the Series in this note.

Agreed on both.

According to the Miles Ahead website: Miles Davis Bootleg Series RIP (October 2019) It appears that the Sony/Columbia Legacy Miles Davis Bootleg Series has been terminated. Beginning in 2011 and continuing until 2018, Sony USA released six volumes of live and studio recordings. http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/mdNews.aspx

A one-off late 90s Rodney Crowell project. A lot of good tunes here.
