Heat wave still ongoing in Austria? You did have some rain by now, right?

Enough rain in the mountains, not so much in the east and the forecast here in Vienna is more than 34 degrees (aka 94) for most of the coming week ....

I got along with 'The soul of..." for years, but the O V Box is really the one to have.

He's one of the few soul singers every bit of who's work is extremely worthwhile.

You're right about the treasurous box set, nevertheless "The Soul Of ...." is a collector's item in its own right due to the mistakingly exclusion of him singing "Ace Of Spade" but instead featuring a fabulous version by the songwriter Melvin Carter .... so better keeping both 😎 ....

A golden voice and, unfortunately, a screwed up human being.

A summary so true (also for a number of other artists) .... unfortunately love was not the drug here ....

I was playing that yesterday! Not the version with some Morris lane tracks but one I'd put together myself from compilations of Jaws' early recordings. I included all the recordings he'd made for Remington.

Wonderful honking stuff!!!!

Aloha!

I just read that Ramsey Lewis will play the Chicago Jazz Festival in a few weeks one final time before his official retirement.  I am going to go see him.  I have foolishly lost golden opportunities to see legends like Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson and a few others before they either retired or passed on.  I am NOT going to let this Jazz icon slip through my grasp before he retires, so OFF TO CHICAGO I GO IN A FEW WEEKS!  Anyone else going?

I found it on a blog and DL-ed it just to hear Morris Lane (already had all the Jaws stuff). I was neither impressed nor depressed, seemed like a really good player whose relatively unknown status among the general public today is not particularly in need of remediation.

Jaws, otoh...hell yeah.
