What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Dickey Myers - Dickey's Mood (Quadrangle). A 1979 album by an obscure, but talented tenor saxophonist, produced by one Allen Lowe, who wrote four of the tunes. The great Joe Albany is on piano.

[AllenLowe]

oi, weird memories; brilliant but hopelessly self destructive saxophonist; great guy, but hooked up with a truly evil woman who burned a lot of bridges (both are now dead). I also have a very interesting tape of him playing duos with Joe Albany; but that LP got him an offer from George Wein, yes, George Wein, and Dickey was too afraid to respond,

Rega RS3 loudspeakers. I'm pretty happy so far (goes well with Rega P3 turntable).

Fantastic! Glad to hear that you're enjoying them.

(I have a Rega P3 'table too, btw.)

Archibald: The Complete New Orleans Sessions 1950-1952 (Krazy Kat)

There have been a lot of versions of Stagger Lee over the years, but I believe that Archibald's "Stack-A-Lee" was the first big hit, and Lloyd Price copped Archibald's lyrics for his even bigger hit. Though Lloyd Price did add that beautiful haiku-like:

The night was clear

and the moon was yellow

and the leaves came tumbling down

Very poetical, that bit that Lloyd added, and I can't read it without hearing the horns kick in after!

That's a funny little disc, but I like it. They also appear on one of the Area records ( "Maledetti" IIRC).

There's a much older 7" EP on a Spanish label, but that one's not in my collection.

Could never get into Area although I'm morbidly curious about the Demetrio Stratos solo LP. Never heard/saw the 7" but yeah, the LP is cool. That nova musicha series has some nice records - Schiaffini, Lacy, Bailey, Grillo, Schiano...

I think I understand about Area. I never cared much for the progressive jazz-rock Area, but I do like the free improv freakout Area. A lot. Try "Event '76", a live album with Steve Lacy and Paul Lytton.

As for the Demetrio Stratos solo albums, well it's simple, you need to hear them. They're unique, in the real sense of being incomparable to almost anything else.

[Homefromtheforest]

I love Area and have all their albums with Stratos. One of the few Italian prog bands I really enjoy.

I've heard one of the Stratos solo Lps on cramps around 20 years ago and recall it being utterly unique but not something I would listen to more then once.

I like the Paolo Tofani solo record on cramps as well.
