What's Spinning

Jim Croce - Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits (1974) - I've been wanting some Jim Croce for awhile so I picked this up at Rasputin Music in Berkeley last night for a couple of bucks. This is a posthumous greatest hits compilation released a year after his death in 1973.

I have this one as well and love it. The thing that blows my mind is that he died at 31, I think. I assumed from the picture that he was 40 something when the cover was shot. Hard life I guess...
 
Happy birthday Eddie Harsch,

If folks know Eddie it's most likely from his work as a member of The Black Crowes. He also played with Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Albert Collins.

The man was a stud.

My favorite pic of Eddie beaming up...

Some of his most beautiful work on this coda. I love the way the rest of the band applauds him at the end.

One of my favourite jazz records of the past few years. Glass Museum - Deux. Thanks to @Skalap for this and more recent Belgian jazz suggestions, just a shame they seem to have the world's most expensive postal system!

Saw them on Saturday night. Show was amazing and music were powerful. They said they had a new album ready, should be out by the end of the year. Can't wait to listen for more.
 
Despite all the issues, I really love one of the central concepts of Anthology, letting a box set breath... having time to really explore the records.

I spent most of last week obsessing over the Horace Silver Trio. This was the plan, but I didn’t exactly expect a Bebop record to be as challenging as it was. I’ve gotten to know it and come to terms with it.

Now it’s time to get to know this record:

I'm not understanding the excitement for this series. Premium price without a premium product- especially when there's the Tone Poet series from Blue Note themselves.
