Carl, my man. Isn't that a picture of John Cipollina, rest his soul. One of my all time favorite guitar players. Funny I should come upon this post while listening to Quickersilver's Happy Trails live album. Hard to believe its almost 40 years old. Thanks for the memory jog.

Carl

Stanley Cowell "Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume Five" Concord CJ-431-C
Now that is some piano playing. :thmbsp:

Dizzy Gillespie - Sittin' In

Dizzy is the headliner here, hence the title, but this is really just another Norman Granz jam session. Norman Granz was famous for doing this sort of thing. Collecting a bunch a jazz greats for a bit of friendly competition. This is best exemplified on Norman Granz's Jam Sessions albums released on Clef Records (9 total). All of which are now available in a box set titled The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions. Highly recommended.

Sittin' In here are:

Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet; Stan Getz, Paul Gonsalves, Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax; Wynton Kelly, piano; Wendell Marshall, bass; J.C. Heard, drums.

Recorded June 26, 1957

Loudness - Thunder In The East

Paul Desmond/Gerry Mulligan - Two Of A Mind

These guys compliment each other very well. Nice laid back and cool sound.

Recorded in June, July and August, 1962.

Used CD shop purchase for "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone". Just threw it in expecting full disk of pleasant, background fluff in the same vein...
But no-o-o-o-o-o...

In the opening of the first track, "Tiger", she reached out, grabbed me by the balls and said, "Sit down and listen." I still am...

Bit over produced in spots, but the lady has some serious pipes, and more than a little writing talent. AMG says jazz training, and it shows in spots.

Nice to be pleasantly surprised every once in a while...

EDIT:... and again by the same disk... Last track is "I Don't Want to Wait"... Did not even know this was her. Just a cherry on top...

Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore - Blowing In From Chicago

Clifford Jordan, tenor sax; John Gilmore, tenor sax; Horace Silver, piano; Curly Russell, bass; Art Blakey, drums.

Recorded March 3, 1957.

I happened upon this disk one day while in the store. Noticed it was an RVG Blue Note. Flipped it over and took notice of the sidemen - Silver, Blakey, Russell - and then the recording date. Decided right away this has to be good. And it is. Highly recommended to those who like killer jazz.

Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet

Treated myself to a stop by the two-buck used vinyl store this AM, so I'm cleaning and spinning. First up:

Joan Armatrading~ The Shouting Stage- one of my favorite (if not the favorite) Joan albums, from 1988. I bought the cd when it came out, but I'd never seen it on vinyl before today. Great songs, great drumming from Dave Mattacks, some tasty guitar work by Mark Knopfler, and a fine sounding recording.

Next up:

Bobby Bare~ Sings Lullabyes, Legends, and Lies: The Songs of Shel Silverstein- For me, this is a real treasure, from 1973- double album recorded live "at RCA's Nashville Sound Studio" with a rowdy bunch of friends and admirers. Even features a duet with a VERY young Bobby Bare Jr, which he introduces by saying that some day, Jr. will be a star and will be embarrassed as hell at his old man for making him do it. A really fine record.

On to the next one:

Hoyt Axton~ Saturday's Child- appears to be an early original pressing on Vee-Jay of Axton's 1963 debut album. Roger McGuinn is credited (as Jim, of course) on 12 string. This is a pretty mediocre album- mostly folky covers of old blooz tunes. And to top it off, he snuck in a cover of St. James Infirmary- and, no, Ray, it's nowhere near the Armstrong version.

On to another Hoyt Axton~ Where Did The Money Go? From 1980, definitely an improvement over the debut.

Not my favorite, but definitely a good one! Have to get out some Joan soon ...

NP: Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles

Just got home. Put on Joe Satriani's This World.

Started out with Live Country Music Concert - Willie Nelson

Then Big Daddy Del - Del Reeves

Wife's not home yet so the twang is on.

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood~ Nancy & Lee- Man, I wish this lp was in better shape. Been on the lookout for it for quite a while, so I'll live with this copy till a better one shows up. Excellent music.

NP: Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys

First up this evening: Ron Sexsmith - Self-titled....

Music from the motion picture Garden State. No, I've not even heard of the movie. Been getting some of these sound track ceedees from the library. So far I've really enjoyed them--they have a mix of artists I wouldn't normally hear. I even like the heavy-bass rap tune on one of them!

Joan Armatrading - Hearts and Flowers

Starting off today with a German reissue pressing of I Talk With The Spirits from Roland Kirk (pre Rashaan). Recorded in 1964.

NP Modest Mouse, The Moon & Antarctica. Rock, but I don't know what particular genre of modern rock.

NP On A Threshold Of A Dream from The Moody Blues. This is a UK pressing I found in the record store's dollar bin the other day. A little scratch at the beginning but very sweet otherwise.

Basil Poledouris - The Hunt for Red October OST

First up today is the second disk of Kraftwerk's Minimum Maximum. Great stuff

Melissa Manchester........Midnight Blue

Ry Cooder~ Bop Till You Drop

Listening to a copy of the original Journey, a live preformance from The Record Plant in 1975. That was such a great group before they sold out
and went commercial hiring that pukeass singer.

Carl

Carl, I totally agree with you about Journey - maybe as sad a downhill slide as any band I remember

NP: John Coltrane - Newport '63

The Bill Evans Trio - Sunday At The Village Vanguard....

Ry Cooder~ Chicken Skin Music

4 Way Street, CSN&Y

First listen to both of these - "Elements" Parts 1 & 2

Taj Mahal~ Like Never Before

Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue....

Just finished - Dianne Reeves, A Little Moonlight

Al Kooper~ Rare & Well Done- the Well Done disk. Fekking amazing what Al did to the masters of this ancient, amazingly good music to make it sound sparklingly new.

Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane At Carnegie Hall....

John Hartford~ Morning Bugle- sublime and timeless

Sad news about Wilson Pickett today, grooving to Mustang Sally.

I started out the day on the treadmill listening to Pat Green - Wave on Wave. I haven't listened to this in many months, and I forgot what a great album this is. Pat is coming here in concert in Feb. I'm thinking of taking my boys, if I could just get over the sticker shock of buying 3 tickets.

JD

Donald Byrd

Recorded live at Karlsruhe Jazzkeller, Karlsruhe, Germany October 1959.

Dave Brubeck Quartet

Recorded live on June 14, 2004 at the Tralfamadore Cafe, Buffalo, NY. Contains both the early and late shows.

Good chit.

Good idea. :)
After a few weeks of SS in here it is back to single ended tube, pentode this
time. A very cute little used prototype of a Chinese integrated I picked up a few weeks ago over in the city. So it is some acoustic music to play, Dave
Brubeck's London Flat London Sharp. Sweet, very sweet.

Carl

8" x 8.75" :)

Question........Moody Blues

Nice tube integrated Carl. A good performer? Never tried tubes myself. Some day maybe.

Elvin Jones Jazz Machine

NP John F. Mellow My Guitars~Their Music. A Luthier/customer where I used to work put together this 21 song compilation made from 9 artists who are using guitars he made for them.

Carl

Queen - A Night At The Opera (Elektra - 1975)

Epica - The Phantom Agony
This little amp sure has an awful lot of gain for being single ended.

Carl

My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves

This little amp sure has an awful lot of gain for being single ended. Carl
I've built a couple of EL-84 SE amps (3 watts) and one EL-34 Class-A PP amp (10 watts). It's amazing by how much we hear with efficient and moderately efficient speakers, lie in the first watt or two!

I am using my JBL cornerhorns in this room, 102db efficent. I was using
about 1/4 watt before this cd. This Epica goes full acoustic orchestra to full metal and it is handling transients/need for headroom perfectly. The EL84 I
had before would not do this on these speakers. My 12 watt 300B DRD blocks
I usually use here will play for the whole block. :)

Carl

Going through several hundred cassettes a friend left me in his estate, and I've found a lot I already have on CD, a couple dozen I recorded for him over the years, a few that make me wonder what the hell he was thinking, and then I pulled out one in a generic case. Read the label, "Asylum Choir II." Holy crap! I've been looking for this for two decades and all the time it was right under my nose.

Thanks buddy. I'll drink one for you tonight while listening to Leon and Marc.

Asylum Choir II is a great, great album! Enjoy.

NP: Genya Ravan - Urban Desire

Count Basie - Chairman Of The Board

First up this evening:Janis Joplin - Pearl

Now playing, and I'm liking it, is Matchbox 20's Yourself or someone like you.

Toots & the Maytals - True Love....

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Hey Xappa, welcome to AK. Not too many people here ever mention Chris Duarte. I absolutely love Texas Sugar Strat Magik, and the song Big-Legged Woman is one of my all-time favorites. I also have his album Tailspin Headwack.

This is rockin' blues at its best.

I just finished one of my favorite commercial compilations. Granted, it doesn't hold a candle to any of toze's comps, but it this one is good. And it arrived free in the mail a couple years back with an order I placed. Cash's version of "Witchita Lineman" is outstanding.

Marching forward into the past now...cueing up:
The Electric Flag - A Long Time Comin' (Columbia - 1968)
A great album featuring Michael Bloomfield, Barry Goldberg, Buddy Miles and guests Richie Havens on sitar! :D

My brother is visiting from out of state. It's a cold day here, so we've been wading through a stack of vinyl. We first listened to a couple of sides of Lucinda Williams - Live at the Fillmore. Then it was M.U. - The Best of Jethro Tull. After that, Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run. After a break for lunch, he's now scrounging through my stack of Steely Dan LPs, so I'm sure that's up next.

Music - the elixir of life. Good music, good gear to play it on, good friends, and as a bonus add good food, - that's why we all enjoy this crazy audio hobby.

JD

Jazz comp disc 7.

This has been an interesting set of discs. I believe it runs chronologically starting in the late 40's or early 50's and finishing in the mid to late 60's but that's only a guess and an educated one at that. This last disc contains free-form jazz that focuses on improvisation from the likes of John Coltrane, Andrew Hill, Eric Dolphy and Ornette Coleman. And you have Charles Mingus and the incomparable Wayne Shorter as well. The only one I didn't know was pianist Jaki Byard.

Anyway, been a great ride. I learned some things along the way and added a few more cd's to my ever increasing CD Universe wish list. Thanks again David.

Lake of Tears (http://www.lakeoftears.net/) - The Neonai.

So they toured with Katatonia, eh. I happen to like Katatonia quite a bit. I didn't see any music snippets to listen to but I have to believe they would be very similiar to Katatonia.

Speaking of Katatonia, they have a new album releasing in April entitled "The Great Cold Distance".

Mira - Apart

Just one clip (http://www.elitistrecords.co.uk/audio/foreststream.mp3) on the site, the songs are not all like this one but if you do like this you would like the rest. I found this group from the links on The Aerium site.

Porcupine Tree? I check their website often and hadn't heard about anything new or available for preorder, well, except for the Moonloop ep on colored vinyl which I did pre-order from spendy England. And SW is re-releasing his Cover Version I and II singles again but I already have those.

I may order Stupid Dream when it comes out, that is, the 2cd edition which includes the DVD-A. Oh who am I kidding. I'll most likely order it even though you'll only be able to get it from The Burning Shed. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the original Snapper K-Scope version.

I'm also very excited about Tempest's new release The Double Cross. And Donald Fagan's new solo album Morph The Cat. And David Gilmour's new solo album On An Island. 2006 looks to be a very promising year in music.

Cheers

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black

Right now, after having some cough syrup and OTC cold & flu meds, it is almost as much about hearing the stereo as it is the music. Not that the music isn't important.
Now playing the Cranberries, No need to argue. I really like those Irish bands, including U2!! Cranberries have the advantage of lovely ladies. Slurp.
I'm getting the best out of the 250 wpc of the big Soundcraftsmen, and it is as clean as it gets. I can't choose between the Yammie M-80 or this PA5001 (or the MA5002A, identical except for some meters and gain controls on the MA5002A).
This may be the swansong for the Kenwood Basic C2 as I have purchased the Yamaha C-2x monster control amp and intend to put it with the PA5001.
Damnitall. I have really fallen in love with the C2 all over again. It was my first preamp along with the Onkyo M-5160/M-5140 amps. Sold the other C2 a couple of weeks ago to a contact over at AA, and, along with the purchase of a C2 by Bold Eagle (due in part to my glowing testimonials), I got this one out and gave the switches a shot of DeoxIT and have been enjoying it since. The M-80/C-1 system has only been played a bit since putting the C2 back into a system--been listening for any scratchiness that might still be lurking.

I'll second that k.d. lang album. Picked it up used about a month ago. Great songs. Great voice. Need more of her music.

Took an hour off of work to come home and listen to music and the 'new' Yamaha C-2x. Playing Robin Trower's In City Dreams. Trower's soaring guitar shines, and the detail is excellent.

Listening to a preview copy of DBT's A Blessing & A Curse. Thanks kindly 'Toze.

What I've heard so far is pretty damn good. It's unmistakably DBT. "Blessing" picks up right where "The Dirty South" left off. This will most definitely be a future purchase.

Edit: Okay, it just ended and was that ever good. Yeah, I really liked that.

Currently my fresh copy of Paul Kantners "Blows Against the Empire".

Featuring Grace Slick, David Freiberg, Jerry Garcia, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Jack Cassady, Bill Kreutzmann, etc. AKA, the Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra.
