What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Teasing the Korean]

Hugo Montenegro - Neil's Diamonds - RCA Dynaflex

Now sound interpretations of Neil Diamond hits featuring copious amounts of moog!

Hugo Montenegro - Neil's Diamonds - RCA Dynaflex

Now sound interpretations of Neil Diamond hits featuring copious amounts of moog!

Why?

[Teasing the Korean]

I happen to really love moog albums from that era. Almost as much as jazz albums. And sometimes more than jazz albums, if I'm in the right mood.

You know, on this album Hugo does really interesting things with material that is melodically and harmonically simple in its original versions (and that's not necessarily an insult to Neil).

AND, I will ALWAYS love Hugo for his Man from UNCLE Vol. 1 LP on RCA, which is one of the greatest spy LPs ever (he didn't write the music but his arrangements are KILLER).

Charlie Rouse 'Epistrophy' (Landmark)

[Teasing the Korean]

Brazil Super Hits - Atlantic mono

Great one-stop-shopping collection of early bossa stuff on Atlantic, including Mendes, Jobim, Bonfa, Gilberto, Almeida, Herbie Mann, et. al., in various combinations.

[Teasing the Korean]

The Secret Life of Harpers Bizarre - Warner Bros. Stereo

I always dismissed them as a second tier, lightweight 60s group. This is a really cool avant-pop album.

[Teasing the Korean]

Bob Dorough - Just About Everything - Inner City

Definitive reading of "Tis Autumn."

[Teasing the Korean]

Duke Ellington - Such Sweet Thunder - Columbia 6-eye mono

These days, when I put on an Ellington album, I often find myself thinking "This is his greatest ever album," until I put on another one, and think the same exact thought.

Junior Mance - With a Lotta Help from my Friends - Atlantic

Similar vibe to Ramsey Lewis's early 70s albums.

Nice version of "Spinning Wheel." I've never heard a bad version of this tune - aside from BS&T's godawful original.
