There are two versions of Vampyros Lesbos - one with 14 tracks and one with 17. I have the CD with 14 tracks, but then bought the other three as lossless downloads from Qobuz. Try to get the longer version if you can find it. The tracks feature unusual juxtapositions of funk beats, brass, sitars, and wordless vocals. I never get tired of it, but at the same time, I generally only listen in October. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 4 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: I've only discovered Michael Franks recently. I'm not a huge fan, but I really can't believe how much his stuff was ripped off by so many of those British Columbia indie bands that Pitchfork Media so desperately wanted to marry in the 00s, without anyone ever mentioning his name. That Kaputt album by Dan Bejar was a particular example. 3 hours ago, Teasing the Korean said: Ha ha! Brilliantly described!

Sorry, but Michael Franks' voice and his annoying lyrics drove me crazy when my station played him to death in the early 1990s. Especially "Popsicle Toes" and "When the Cookie Jar is Empty," or whatever that song was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 For Mahalia, With Love” James Brandon Lewis/Red Lily Quintet I got this a month ago and started listening to it. I definitely was not feeling it. It seemed like someone fabricating a work like someone else’s. Re-visiting it tonight I am past that and enjoying it!

Gheorghe Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 15 hours ago, Peter Friedman said: Ray Brown was one of the leaders of post war bass, maybe the greatest. I´m mostly interested in his work before he jumped on the "Granz-Wagon" , with Diz, Bird and so on. In his later years I had the impression that he turned up his amp on a very loud volume. I like a good bass sound, but I think that was a bit too much of volume for the bass. I had seen Benny Green when he was with Art Blakey. That was a helluva band, but most of us listeners here in Viena was quite surprised that a little guy who looked much more like a college boy plays so much piano, and fast and hip and quick. He was the surprise of the evening. I don´t really know about drummer Jeff Hamilton, maybe he worked in other contexts than what I usually listen to.

jazzbo Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 The New John Handy Quintet “New View” Columbia / Koch cd Talk online of Handy made me seek this one out from the shelves. What a band! Albert Stinson was taken from us too soon.

In my case it was in the late 80´s and it was Javon Jackson if I remember right, and it was Peter Washington I think, but no Roney and no Julian Priester which I would have liked to hear. I don´t remember who was the trumpet player , the trombone player I think was a very young guy, but they all was great and yeah, Benny Green. The only white guy I had seen until then in a Blakey band was the Russian trumpet player Valeriu Ponomarev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
