soundfan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks to @scuzzii (John) I was able to upgrade my vinyl version of this superb Mingus album. The Speakers Corner release is dynamite. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroen Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 JUGGLING KUKLA - NoBusiness LP86 Double bass and cello, beautifully captured. It really is like they're playing right in front of me, in my own private recital. Stirring stuff, and easily digested. Can't wait for more! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-k-k-kenny Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 These guys are all great players, and John Medeski can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. But when let loose to jazzify some 60s rock standards (Lay Lady Lay, Up On Cripple Creek, Woodstock...) and some less than riveting originals the result is, frankly, dull. Who'd a thought that a bunch of primitive rockers would wring a lot more excitement and meaning out of this stuff than these real smart guys, eh? You won't clear any rooms with it, but you won't wake anybody up with it, either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love all those guys, but it's all about the material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now realise that what you get on the record ain't necessarily what or who you'd get at the venue in St Peters St. I'd passed on buying it when in NOLA a couple of months ago, thinking it was just ye trad stuff. It isn't. Good New Orleans funk and latin grooves on this and very accessible. Nice to see Kyle Roussel on keyboards playing to his potential; his solo album of a couple of years ago was a bit of a showcase that lacked proper focus for mine. @k-k-k-kennyHere's a bit of frippery for ya. Which reminds me, have you youtubed Jools Holland's Walking to New Orleans yet? cheers mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey d Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Can't remember the last time I played this. Recorded in Japan, 1978. Empathetic, elegant, mostly ballady duets. Archie on soprano, alto & tenor. Very nice Japanese vinyl. Edited October 13, 2017 by mikey d 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered twice by mistake - I am getting old. How it is? More of the same. Grande scale, epic, dense, in particular the B side. Can we say glam jazz? Certainly very entertaining, I like it. Great pressing quality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-k-k-kenny Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 @mickj1Nice that... Yes indeedy I have and am. Although the show was made over 30 years ago there's a lot that still looks familiar. Flat wet hot countryside, sleepy, dying country towns... and though quite a few of the performers have moved on, Fred's Lounge is still going and Fats D still with us, though not very visible in public these days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbuzzardstubble Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Tenorio Jr - Embalo. A rather tragic ending to this artist's life. This is his only recording as band leader. He went missing in mysterious circumstances in Argentina during the first year of that country's last civil-military dictatorship: in March 1976, while on tour at Buenos Aires with Toquinho and Vinícius de Moraes, Tenório Júnior mentioned he was going out to buy cigarettes, and he was never seen again; it was quickly surmised that he might have been rounded up by the dictatorship's security forces, mistaken for an Argentine "guerrilla" and kidnapped, to be subsequently thrown in jail, tortured and murdered. In 1979, singer Elis Regina mentioned in an interview with the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo that he had been seen in jail in La Plata City; subsequent investigations by several journalists and Argentina's CONADEP confirmed his tragic fate, and he is now widely considered to be a desaparecido (missing person), therefore a victim of Argentina's State-sponsored terrorism during the 70s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a brilliant double CD. The opening 44 minutes track is as good as jazz gets (well, in my opinion anyway). Anderson and Drake have a long joint recording history. Another excellent Eremite release from the same trio plus Edward "Kidd" Jordan is "2 Days in April", also a double CD. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
