So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Laurence Hobgood "Union" Naim cd.

A marriage of excellent playing with excellent sound.

EDIT to add: listened through again. I kept thinking what an asset this trio of show-offs would be to any number of current singers. (It's no surprise that Hobgood has been at the helm of arguably the best albums of Kurt Elling).

This is one of those albums where the engineering is telling the story as well. What I would place in the "stoner jazz" category, "Rainy Day Dream Away" sub-category.

Coulda' been better, coulda' been worse

McGee's tune "Island Fantasy" certainly sounds familiar, though...does it resemble something else, that opening phrase in particular?

Of these two, El Chico is my preferred album.

Another entry in the "Rainy Day Dream Away" sub-category is this bargain bin pickup. One that has paid off.

This "Zam Rock" album is a genuine trip. I'm listening to--the "Reverbed" version of the album, which is the second disc in this set. I keep thinking of The Jimi Hendrix Experience and how could I not, but there's a twist to the grooves here and the album definitely create a strong mood.

Whoa. Wow. A party disc.

Aretha Franklin "Lady Soul" Atlantic cd from the box set.

An alternate cover (from an alternate universe?) that I had never encountered before:

Too much rockin' steady had me reach for a mellower groove.

Lou Donaldson "Pretty Things" from 1970 on Universal Japan cd from 2015.

Dapper Lou

Been too long since I heard the work of Ted Dunbar, a cool guitarist.

I'll be checking out every Chico album this streaming platform has to offer. This one with Coryell is excellent.
