The papers were full of the Sputnik launch, which dates it at October 1957, with me one month short of my 18th birthday. Cool story, Bill !!! Quote

My one and only return to the 100 Club was in the summer of 1981 by which time the dancers had disappeared and the music on offer was a tad more sophisticated, but equally exciting: Sonny Stitt with Red Holloway!

Rabshakeh Posted October 16, 2021 Report Posted October 16, 2021 Wayne Shorter - Atlantis (Columbia, 1985) A better album than I remember. First time around I was shocked because it's barely jazz. This time round I was pleased to find that it wasn't the limp quiet storm / smooth fest I'd recalled it being. There's more of a link between this sort of thing, Miles Davis and people like Steve Coleman than is commonly discussed. A new sort of fusion in an era of quiet storm, new wave, electro and smooth jazz. Quote
JSngry Posted October 16, 2021 Author Report Posted October 16, 2021 Jam-Lewis...like all great pop productions, very specific, So, you can mindlessly groove out in/on the whereever OR you can pay really close attention to all those details...and either way, they will be there for you. As they say, if it was that easy.... Quote

mhatta Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Somehow I'm in the middle of Honkers & Screamers craze again, and listening to several old compilation CDs. This one contains the music of Red Prysock, Charlie Singleton, Morris Lane, Red Holloway, Big Jay McNeely, Julian Dash, Noble Watts and King Curtis. And cool jacket! This one contains the music of Chuck Higgins, Joe Houston, Lorenzo Holden, Roy Milton, Jack McVea, Floyd Turnham, Jonesy Combo(?), Brother Woodman(?) and Jake Porter. Most of them are west coast-based I guess. Quote

duaneiac Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Keeping things in a vibes vein, but going from Mr. Tjader to Mr. Richards -- Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Just finished Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey - Ose (Thank you) - Obey 1983 Now The roughest, but VERY exhilarating, band I've ever heard Los Barbaros del Ritmo - Palo de Mayo - Andino 1971 The band's from Bluefields, Venezuela, the centre of Palo de Mayo music. You can't not get up and dance. 'Scuse, I've gotta get up and dance. MG PS Oh well, I suppose Erkey Grant and the Eerwigs, a London pub band of the early sixties, might have been rougher, but it's sixty year since I saw them. Quote
