Jim Duckworth Posted April 30, 2021 Report Posted April 30, 2021 Â Hadn't pulled this one out in a while-found my appreciation had grown. Quote
mikeweil Posted May 20, 2021 Report Posted May 20, 2021 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Swing-Street/release/9521232 This 1962 4 LP set on Epic is a nice overview of the bands that played on "The Street". I cannot recall where or when I got this set, but the box and inner sleeves bear the stamp of " Peter Russell - The Music Centre" in Plymouth, UK. It is an original US pressing, in perfect condition, with abosolutely no surface noise when played back with a mono cartridge. The remastering is meticulous. They must have used primary sources throughout. Quote
mikeweil Posted May 20, 2021 Report Posted May 20, 2021 After finishing the Swing Street box I will proceed to this one: https://www.discogs.com/Mildred-Bailey-Her-Greatest-Performances-1929-1946/release/3641455 Quote
Bluesnik Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Saw this mentioned here... and played it. It's very nice. I like his pre-world music Eastern and African influences. Because I'm also very fond of Indian and Arab, specifically Moroccan or from the Rif, music. And also very much his flute playing. And in his tenor I can detect a very guitarlike bluesyness, I don't how he gets. And there's lots of Curtis Fuller too. At least on the first part, which is where I'm now. This is a 4 CD compilation of everything he recorded (mostly for Savoy) in 1957. The year of his debut as a leader. Edited June 3, 2021 by Bluesnik Fuller mention added Quote
Bluesnik Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 I'm playing this again and enjoying it mightily. There was a mention of Panart's role in the liners of the comp on Cuban music from the 70s and 80s, I mentioned here. Which described the development of Cuban music from the 30s onward. Quote
JSngry Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 Ready to spend a few days here: Right now, Josh White talking about I'm broke and hongry, ragged and dirty too, and then wanting all them women to take him home with them...OMG talk about setting yourself up for failure in today's world!

That was my intention, but I'd already lost the point. I.e. didn't remember what I wanted to play. Quote
