So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

Vanessa Rossetto - The Actress

I have a low tolerance for Erstwhile and its EAI releases (largely because I hate being bored) but this one really is as good as everyone says it is.

Hmm, I wasn't aware.  I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

Love that duet.  The Kikuchi reissue is very good, just listened to it prompted by your post

Now listener to another drummer's album from the 70s that also features guitarist Tommy Bolin:

Billy Cobham - Spectrum (Atlantic, 1973)

I like this album -- but I like Mind Transplant more.

I really like this one as a collection of early material in excellent sound.

And this is a great collection:

https://www.discogs.com/release/12313526-Lee-Wiley-Live-On-Stage-Town-Hall-New-York

From her early period you can 't go wrong with any of the "Lee Wiley Sings...." Cole Porter, Roger & Hart etc with various Condenites.  IIRC they were originally true "albums": collections of 78s in an album.   From her later period I like "West of the Moon" which Mosaic re-released as a Mosaic Single. I see it's now available on a cd along with the "A Touch of the Blues" though I presume the sound won't be as good as on  the release that Jazzbo recommended.
