jeffcrom Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 This is why I'm reluctant to sell any records or CDs which don't immediately strike me.... In honor of Bloomsday, I decided to spin an album which I think I had only listened to once since I got it: Andre Hodeir - Anna Livia Plurabelle (Philips). This is a jazz cantata by Hodeir, based on part of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. I like much of Hodeir's music, but this piece was so strange that I put it on the shelf after one listening. Well, tonight I loved it. The orchestra includes Jean-Luc Ponty, Michel Portal, Hubert Rostaing, and Pierre Michelot. Joyce's surrealistic words are even odder filtered through the French accents of singers Monique Aldebert and Nicole Croisille. But for whatever reason, I really enjoyed this tonight, and I'm glad I kept the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Joe Alexander plays fine on that early 60s date. Wish he would have taken some more risks which would surely have been OK with the rhythm section that was assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Percy Faith - Black Magic Woman - Columbia TTK is trying to keep up with the sounds, vibrations and feelings of today. It's important to know what the kids are listening to, to foster mutual understanding between the generations. There's a really cool tune on here called "Sun King" credited to Lennon and McCartney. I'm assuming this a Beatles tune. Edited June 18, 2011 by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
