Eddie Palmieri - The Sun of Latin Music

My 3 year old has been eying up the cover for a day or two and wanted to put it on.

Youth movement is on 😇😁 ....

[Rabshakeh]

Keeping up the flow, my son's current favourite: the Yazoo comp of early Blind Willie McTell. 

He particularly digs 'Georgia Rag', which he believes is about an actual rag. I may invest in some Blind Blake this year 

Now on to Daddy's choice:

Albert Ayler in Greenwich Village.

Excellent ....

Les McCann

• Layers (Atlantic)
• Invitation to Openness (Atlantic)
• Stormy Monday, with Lou Rawls (Capitol, iMONO!)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Gene Ammons - Blue Gene (Prestige/OJC). I do love the way Gene does the blues. Always swinging. I believe that this 1985 OJC LP was the first time this session was issued in stereo.

Palace Brothers - There Is No one

It's been a non-jazz morning.

Used to have that Palace LP -- wonderful. Would like to re-buy it someday. I still have a few of his/their 45s.

It is a good record. I never quite clicked with Bonnie Prince Charlie Anything Else, but this one captured me.

yeah, I stopped after Arise Therefore.

Having spent a wonderful few hours this afternoon at this location (without being flooded out too !) there's only one record to spin..

It's never been the same though since the days (circa 1970) of playing cricket with tennis ball against the stones. 😮

Always wondered what the mystical three vertical chalked lines represented 

That's one I would really like to find. Online prices are currently £125 and upwards so it will take a decent month or a very weak moment as it stands

circa 1980, camping there at the Solstice with a few hundred others for the free festival. More drugs on sale than the entire chain of Boots had on sale, an innocent student didn't know what to do...

Yeah, Never went for those festivals. Not my thing at all..

As a youngster when driving past on the A303 with the family we used to pull in and have a break at the stones. At the time there was no visitor centre, nor were there any barriers preventing access - a free-for-all really. So it seemed pretty natural as a kid to pick out one of the sacred blue stones from the Prescili Mountains and use it as a wicket. Just the right height !!

Discogs seems to have a nice NM copy from a UK dealer of 'Stonehenge'. Probably worth the £175..(gulp).

Back to the album, the Stonehenge side is online and is terrific. How's the other side compare?

[sidewinder]

Side 2 has 5 tracks in a sort of 'third stream' style. 

Interesting to see that now 98 year old Tony Kinsey is on this LP, on percussion.

Edited January 5, 2024 by sidewinder

[mjazzg]

Thanks

[sidewinder]

No probs. I can confirm that side 2 is pretty nice. Not as 'stately' as the suite in side 1 but classy stuff.

[mjazzg]

Classy third stream works for me. Now to find a copy. I can't imagine it was a huge seller at the time which may account for it being so few and far between

Outstanding voyeurism movie ....

such a great 3LP compilation from MCA Japan. Great discographical information. For 10 euros truly a steal. And it might be just my imagination or what I want to hear: but the sound quality is the best I’ve heard up till now with these Columbia/Decca records. Better than my They don’t sound like they were recorded in the 40’s.
