Dub Modal

I had no idea he recorded that much for the Peanuts gang.

That is a good piece. Thanks for the link.

Great article. Thanks - edit to add that their discussion on distribution was really interesting as it was true insider info.

Nice tune. And interesting that it was released in Europe via ECM but it wasn't recorded or mixed by Eicher, nor were his studios used.

PM coming

I don't think I've ever heard of Wingy Manone before but this Storyville set is a great listen.

Raoul Bjorkenheim - Doors of Perception Finnish jazz ftw

Engrossing book. One of my favorites.

Ha, just started this.

Betty Roche's Singin' & Swingin'

Craving some jazz vocals. Etta Jones' From the Heart. Lots of highlights here. Good Morning, Heartache is beautiful. There's not one that I don't enjoy

Interplay for Two Trumpets and Two Tenors

Listened to 2017's 12 Comp (ZIM) the other day and remain awed.

Interesting and full life. His half-sister was a famous writer and his father was a mine speculator with claimed lineage to Scottish royalty.

Watched last night. Never gets old for me.

Yeah, it's older than that. Thanks for the advice

'get a new one' sounds about right then. damn

I'm a fan of the Roaratorio Sun Ra albums. That Sun Embassy is a good one. If I remember correctly it's a collection of recordings from Ra's compound after he would wake them up early in the morning to practice. Lots of percussion.

While on this subject, anyone have tips for cleaning CD players? Mine is having issues reading discs consistently, skipping frequently. At first I thought it was the discs themselves but figured out it was the player.

The Bears moving out of Chicago but still keeping the Chicago name is ridiculous. Soldier Field is iconic and right in the heart of the city. At least change the name like the Cardinals did once they moved out to Glendale.

John Patton's Soul Connection

I remember that report from a couple of years ago that cited half of LP buyers didn't have a turntable to play them on. Maybe that trend has changed a little since, but I'd be surprised if CDs ever catch back on domestically enough for a spike in demand for players. I'd be all for it, but seems like a long shot.
