So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Another early morning up with the old dog. Cool, after a warm night.

Starting off with a wondeful recording.

Bill Charlap “Play George Gershwin–The American Soul” Blue Note cd

 

[jazzbo]

It’s fascinating listening to a genius working it out in the studio with some difficulty but good humor.

 

 

Bob Dylan “The Cutting Edge–Collector’s Edition” disc 5

[Referentzhunter]

David Morley - Stardancer

Overwhelming gem of an EP. It's absolutely ridiculous. A must-hear if you like early Ambient-electronic like Biosphere.

Perfectly done.  The sound is amazing, and the disc of the Creole Jazz Band's contemporaries provides context as few historical reissues have.

The coda of "Roll on the Left Side" is a riot.

The strange thing is, that I had heard at least one title from this album "live" (Three or Four Shades of the Blues), but when the album came out in the same year I think I first was a bit reluctant to buy it. I was afread that the use of two basses might marr the music of Mingus, and all those hippie guitarists on the cover photo also didn´t encourage me, same like that "Grandpa" with the cigarette in the mouth (that´s how I saw it then).

Mingus made a lotta money with that album, but the band as a quinted sounded much more exiting. 

But it has a special place in my small collection since this and "Cumbia" was what I had heard live and the grossly overproduced studio albums at least let hear some glimpses of the REAL MINGUS.
