mikeweil Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Posted March 7, 2005 Just read this is scheduled for DVD release later this year. Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks for the tip. Keep us updated on the DVD. I like this band's first CD. Matter of fact, everyone I know that has heard it likes it. The second one doesn't come close. Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Speaking of which, you can get it online from J&R for $7 these days. Quote
chris olivarez Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 Thanks for the heads up Mike. I like this band. Quote

The second one doesn't come close. Second that. Love the first, never picked up the second. Missed the concert... Quote
mikeweil Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Posted March 14, 2005 ... and I forgot to push a cassette into my recorder ... A nice gig, although I don't quite like Ribot's slightly kaputt stage personality. The drums/timbales player, Roberto Juan Rogriguez, is way cool - playing the hottest stuff in a totally relaxed fashion. The vocals by E.J. Rodriguez and his conga playing are a little extrovert, to my taste, and the band vocals border on parody, which, judging from the studio CDs, is intended. Ubu, get the second CD - I think it is even better - more drum solos Quote

I gave it a listen three or four times in stores, when it was new, but never took a liking... Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 The difference between them discos IMO is Medeski vs Anthony Coleman. Medeski seems to have more a grasp of the groove created by Ribot and the rhythm team that is rooted a bit more in the afro than Coleman who seems to tinker about and let those Sun Ra echos in his head come to play. Both good and even better as a whole all smattered about on a single disc. Any ever heard his Haitian music explorations? but please yall go here: afraid?, no... Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I think the main difference for me is the overpresence of vocals on the second, as if Ribot thought he was becoming a singing cubano sensation! Hold off on the singing Ribot, and let your fingers do the walking! You guys like the Tzadik album under Roberto Juan Rodriquez' name, El Danzon de Moises? Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 and p.s. Vint! Thank you for turning me onto Orlando! Quote
mikeweil Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Posted March 14, 2005 You guys like the Tzadik album under Roberto Juan Rodriquez' name, El Danzon de Moises? Got them both, and dig them to death! Like em better than Ribot's! Second, Baila, Gitano, Baila was my avatar for a while. Quote

They're insanely expensive in shops here... Quote
mikeweil Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Posted March 14, 2005 I got them from Caiman through Amazon. Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Yeah man. That RJ recording is one wild band! Is there a second? I'd definitely be interested! Hell, Mike, I'd take any recommendations you've got directly to the store! Quote
king ubu Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 I got them from Caiman through Amazon. Thanks! I might try that. The one you had as your avatar certainly looks tasty! Quote
mikeweil Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Posted March 28, 2005 Yeah man. That RJ recording is one wild band! Is there a second? I'd definitely be interested! Hell, Mike, I'd take any recommendations you've got directly to the store! Yes there is a second Roberto Juan Rodriguez CD on Tzadik, Bail Gitano Baila - you will like it! (Sorry, noticed your request just now!) Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks! I think I saw that album cover at my brother's once. Beautiful! I will look for it. Quote
