  1. I'm also very much against reliced or aged guitars. I hate when they are made old looking from their original state. They will come to look like that over time. But I'm not buying like this new. Something that has been damaged purposely. But this process costs much more than a pristine new guitar. Look at Gibson's Murphy Lab for an example. They all cost from 10.000$ upwards. I've been eyeing one of those too. But maybe mine was the FMT HH. Plus points for me: it's made of mahogany with a nice carved maple top and a set neck, which is also mahogany. And its Duncans, one 59 and one Pearly Gates. I didn't know they carry P90s. Wekanesses: its Indian Laurel fingerboard (no Rosewood), no case (it's Indonesian made and relatively cheap), Urethane finish, no Nitro (like in all Fenders for that matter).
  2. AND film music.
  3. That one I wanted to post a long time ago (I love the cover), after I had stumbled upon it diggin up Cal Tjader's Soul Burst, but I still have them lying around without having played them.
  4. I found it on Spotify, where it's available. Will have to do some explorations there.
  5. Just yesterday added her Fly or die and she was definitely someone to watch for, for me. When I saw this I thought it can't be the same person. She was young. Then I decided let's see. So what Ghost said.
  6. Yes, very overlooked and I am the first to regret that.
  7. That's going to be tonight's listening.
  8. Oh, I discovered them while in Thailand. With the great Magnum cum Louder. You could buy cheap cassettes off the roadside in Bangkok. Ah, that was in 1989.
  9. In the last times I've seen this too. But it's August 2022. But maybe it's been like this all this time.
  10. I have just finished today this And it's as superb as everybody says it is. I'm a big Winslow follower, mind you. And if it's the beginning of a new trilogy. It's the Irish mob against the Italian one in New England. So an end with Mexico and back to the USA.
  11. I've just added it to a songwriters playlist.
  12. He also recorded with Tal Farlow as his backing guitarist. There was no piano as I remember. Parts of it are on the Mosaic.

    Logical, they were the inventors and main supporters of Betamax.
  14. Have that and there's no way I'm getting it again.
  15. I have an mp3 of a Brazilian band called Apolo 11, called Apolo 11. I assume it's from around that time point.
  16. Same here!
  17. That album is ace.I loved it in 89 or 90.
  18. Thanks for the reminder. I ordered them too. Don't know what the second was, but I took Live and Quintet in Chicago. With Trane.
  19. To me the noirest of jazz records is Miles Davis' soundtrack to Ascenseur sur l'echafaud.
  20. Here (Mediterranian Coast) it's blindingly (around 40C) hot lately and specially now. So much that it's impossible to stay at home and people get out or to the beach, where they stay until 21.00 or later.
  21. Saw Elvis yesterday, the Baz Luhrman movie. Can't say I enjoyed it too much as I also deeply dislike Elvis. But the film's not bad capturing the period as all Luhrman movies are (I once saw a very good one about Scott Fitzgerald and the crazy jazz twenties). So the most interesting part is the beginnings when a teenager Elvis discovers the power of black music and steals its secret. But all the rest is schlock, from the build up of Elvis' success right down to the end. What IS interesting and new is how the relationship with his manager, the infamous Colonel Parker, played by Tom Hanks, is brought to life and explained. I never knew this story of exploitation (if it's true). So only for this it's worthwhile. But stay away from it (like I wanted to do) if you're not a devoted Elvis fan. And a special mention to the actor who plays Elvis so very well. Right down to his dance moves.
  22. Yes, it's good.
  23. That's a jewel for me. Notwithstanding her former self.
  24. Wonderful. With Monk, Wes' brother on bass.

    I think because they were first issued as 10" and when they were reissued as 12" in the 1500 series they had already Reid Miles covers. All of them do, I think.
