JSngry Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 A very bittersweet listen 45 years later. The optimism that virtually poured out of every second has proven to be, if not misplaced, definitely lost in today's reality. Also, geez, Stevie was a sappy SOB when he wanted to be, and at the time it didn't really matter (at least to me), because there was so much other stuff coming out of him. But that kinda stopped too after Secret Life. Seemed like the rejection of that one (unwarranted, imo) stung him and he pulled back a bit going forth. Still, the punches that he does land are all knockouts, and today I find myself oddly (enough) drawn to the EP cut "Easy Going Evening". Didn't see that one coming! Humanity is all but doomed, but for those of us who were alive when it's wasn't a foregone conclusion, it's nice to be reminded of what - maybe - could have been if we had made different collective decisions. But we didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we didn't. Yeah, objectively the rot had already set in but we generally didn't know it yet or at least not fully and Stevie was a ray of sunshine.

JSngry Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 He kept being interesting enough for a while, though. "Just The Two Of Us" was/is "our song" for my wife and myself, but after we got married, "That Girl" became "my song" for her. But that was on a greatest hits type album, and the next thing I knew it was all Ebony & Ivory and I just called to say I love you, and I finally said, hell, if he don't care, I ain't gonna care either. But damn, you know that feeling that good things are going to keep happening because so far they have been, that's a GOOD feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's available now from the label. That's how I acquired it. It's excellent BTW. https://cellarlive.com/collections/all Now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Jeremy Danneman and Sophia Nzayisenga - Honey Wine (Ropeadope, 2016) I've really been enjoying Danneman's records recently. I wish jazz and non-American musics could always fit together as well as they do on this record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Yes, Hermeto is great. A 2 cd set of the first live recordings of the Grupo was just released. Now playing Aline Muniz "Outra" cd Brazilian pop with an edge--great bass player and horn section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
