I expect BFT 60 will be full of vinyl drops of Kenny G, Gerald Albright & Najee :)

Damn - my 'theme' has been blown.

The Boney James was a pig to transfer though..

Actually - I did a load of transfers but when I played them back they sounded like sh*t compared with the CD offerings on the BFT. Turned out my soundcard had been set to 9.4 kbps so now I have to redo the lot. :rmad:

It should be noted that I rarely play more than one side of something before listening to something else.

Joe Gordon - Lookin' Good! (Contemporary - 1970s Pre-OJC pressing)

Rocky Boyd Quintet - Ease It (Jazztime - Japanese pressing)

Stan Getz - Stan Getz In Stockholm (Verve - Japanese pressing)

Paul Desmond - s/t (Artists House)

Cecil McBee Sextet - Compassion (Inner City)

Dollar Brand - The Journey (Chiaroscuro)

Mandigo - The Primeval Rhythm of Life - EMI/Columbia (UK)

BADASS contortionist funk exotica!

I'd LOVE to see little category cards in a record shop

"CONTORTIONIST FUNK EXOTICA A-F"

"CONTORTIONIST FUNK EXOTICA G-M"

"CONTORTIONIST FUNK EXOTICA N-R"

"CONTORTIONIST FUNK EXOTICA S-Z"

But only the G-M section would have anything in it :)

You're right, and I think Mandingo made only two albums! You should be able to find them over there in the dollar bin someplace. You might dig them!

Gil Evans; European Tour 1978

I had a ticked booked for the Bristol Colston Hall concert on that tour. What wasn't expected was the mother of all snowstorms and half of the West Country being cut off and emergency food airlifts. Never did make the concert !

I did make it! Unusually for me, I have kept - Christiern-like - (stuck to the inner sleeve of the LP Svengali) part of a programme page on which I have written "Manchester Free Trade Hall, Feb 1978" and which continues:

Gil Evans - leader

Ernie Royal - trumpet

Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson - trumpet

Lew Soloff - trumpet, flugelhorn

Pete Levin - mini-moog, clavinet, french horn

John Clark - french horn, guitar

Dave Sandborn - alto, soprano, sopranino, lyricon

Arthur Blythe - alto, soprano

George Adams - tenor, soprano, flute, bass clarinet

Bob Stewart - tuba, flugelhorn

Masabumi Kikuchi keyboards

Herb Bushler - electric bass

Sue Evans - drums

But whatever happened to Lacy?

But whatever happened to Lacy?

My guess - in for the Paris concert only as he was resident in France.

Damn - I'm jealous, BillF ! You can't believe how disappointed I was not to get to the 1978 concert (I was reliant on a car ride at the time and of course that was canned with the weather). I did get to see Evans at Ronnie Scotts a few years later though with his Brit Orchestra. Indeed, I got to sit pretty close to the Fender Rhodes piano that night. :)
