John L Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 "Johnny G.G." from the Johnny Griffin Sextet on Riverside. Kenny Drew sets down the blue mood exquisitely with Wilbur Ware and Philly Joe. Then Griff comes in for the kill, gradually picking up the intensity in his extended solo and then bends some blue grit high notes over the horn riffs. Mmmmmm, good!

ghost of miles Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 The Purple Chick mix of the Beach Boys' "Wind Chimes" from the original SMILE sessions: Wind Chimes Beats hell out of the SMILEY SMILE version IMO. Haven't heard Brian Wilson's 2004 version yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I keep hearing people preferring this version to the one on Smiley Smile, but...not me. For my money, the SS version is one of the most...envelope-pushing works of an era where envelop-pushing was more than a little common. A lot of Smiley Smile has an air of "giving up" to it, but this one is actually more elaborate/considered/fleshed-out/whatever than its predecessor in terms of both performance and production. And if you've not yet heard the fully-realized Smile...GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR. BUDDY!!! Seriously - everybody and their Dutch Uncle has their own "mix" of the original Smile (Google around for Beach Boys blogs and you'll see what I mean...), but the bottom line for me is this - these "mixes" are all from the same source materials, and those source materials are unfinished as far as fitting together go. That's why on this version of "Wind Chimes" it suddenly breaks off into that variant of the "Heroes & Villains" motif and never comes back (and that happens on a LOT of the Smile raw material..., which is why I prefer the SS version of the tune - they make an entire piece out of it instead of leaving it as a beautiful piece of a puzzle that never gets put together..). All of which is to say - the 2004 Smile is nothing but a triumph. It works, it works, it WORKS! The original....doesn't. Not ultimately. Give fullest props to Van Dyke, the Wondermints, and everybody else involved as well as to Brian, but this is essential music for anybody American Art-Pop aficionado. It's a glorious piece of work!

ghost of miles Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I definitely plan on checking out the 2004 SMILE. Re: the late-1960s "Wind Chimes" tracks, to me the SMILEY SMILE version sounds like Brian's gone on a bad ludes trip. And while yeah, there's definitely artistic merit and even a weird kind of honesty perhaps at work there, I still dig the luminous spell of the earlier version much more. It's genuinely beautiful--and that's so rare that I find myself going back to it, brief as it is. Track grabbing me right now: Artie Shaw, "Fred's Delight" (Tadd Dameron tune).

jeffcrom Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 The two new-to-me tracks that got all over me this week were: "When the Levee Breaks" by Bonerama, from the Hard Times EP. It's nine minutes long and goes through lots of changes of direction and mood. The slow "lining hymn" (I don't know the name, and it's not listed as a separate track) that follows Dr. Bob Wilson's 1969 sermon "The Crisis of Identity" on an ACR LP. It's strange, eerie, and goosebump-inducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
