What's Spinning

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

It's been an interesting few days.

It started with this indisputable classic:

If you want an honest recommendation, I have a soft spot for the last one, Mot Aykerim (You Can't Cheat Death). It's very dark compared to everything else in this set, very minor-keyed, very mysterious compared to the rump-shakers found on the other four.

I remember the first time I heard Mesfin. I kept thinking his vocal style and delivery was very familiar to me, yet I'd never heard him before.

Finally, it hit me - this is an African John Lydon.

Happy birthday John Lennon.

Happy birthday Sean Lennon.

As Mr. Cub Ernie Banks would say, "Let's play two.'

John Lennon - Walls And Bridges



The Ghost Of A Sabre Tooth Tiger - Midnight Sun

 

[kafunis]

Terumasa Hino- Into Eternity, Hino’s sprawling double from 1974 is as good as any of Miles’ doubles from the 70’s I reckon .

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

On this day in 1958 Eddie Cochran recorded the song 'C'mon Everybody'.

In 1972 Humble Pie took this great song and elevated it to a blues/boogie masterpiece.

Steve Marriott . Goddamn. How did so much soul fit into that little body.

Miss you, brother.





Humble Pie - Smokin'

Fantastic looking set! I was tempted by it myself, maybe one day....

McCoy Tyner Live At Ronnie Scotts, 1984

Another cassette and this one is really special. This era of Tyner (just after his Milestone releases) is fantastic with such a killer group,
McCoy Tyner - Piano, Gary Bartz - Saxophone, Wilby Fletcher - Drums, John Lee - Bass, John Blake - Violin. A particular favourite is a storming performance of 'Señor Carlos', honesty goosebump music. Another crazy moment is at the end when the compere thanks the group and highlights the upcoming gigs, which includes a week-long residency by Nina Simone and 2-nights worth of performances by Don Pullen. If only time-travel existed....

It's worth the discount if you want all five albums. However... the "box" is not an actual box, but the equivalent of an oversized OBI strip that wraps around the front, the spines, and the back. The top and bottom are completely open and if you remove the shrink wrap you have no way of containing the albums together and a very large, loose piece of paper.

Cross post from the challenge thread:

Day 9 - Soul Sister

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Impulse Records, 1965 First Stereo Club Edition)

This is the first that came to mind and one which I have been playing a lot lately as I am re-reading the fantastic book, 'A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album', by Ashley Kahn.

A nostalgic blast back to a group I saw a lot of in 95-97, and fabulous Caribbean music.
