papsrus Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Kid Thomas Valentine and His Algiers Stompers -- "Same Old Soupbone!" Caught my eye for a couple of reasons: The band substitutes tenor sax for clarinet, giving the music what All Music describes as "a fuller sound," and they perform a few tunes here that are a bit off the beaten path for a New Orleans trad jazz band, such as "Oh Lady Be Good." On order as of a half hour ago, stolen from an amazon seller for ten bucks. Looking forward to it. Cool! Kid Thomas, when left to his own devices, always had a saxophone in his band instead of a clarinet. Presence of clarinet instead of saxophone on a Kid Thomas album is due to the producer's ideas, not Mr. Valentine's. From the late 1950's on, the saxophonist was usually Emanuel Paul, with his old-fashioned style, big sound, and wide vibrato. Thanks Jeff. As always, great insights. Quote

jazzbo Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Didn't buy anything today but did order five Marc Anthony cds and one Ricky Martin from amazon on Sunday, all for less than twenty dollars total including shipping. This is music I never listened to until the last three years with my gal, who loves this music. I must say I had a totally inaccurate perception of this music that has been corrected. They are both agile singers and much of the music is very enjoyable. Especially in romantic circumstances. Quote

I was already getting laid, and the music just crept in. I honestly really like their Spanish language recordings. I recommend checking some out. It surprised me how much I have been getting into the music. I know sharing it with her is a draw, but I like it outside of that. Quote
marcoliv Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Lon, i agree with you about Marc Anthony! MCO Quote
king ubu Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Lon, you might enjoy this one: http://www.amazon.com/Chica-Chocolate-Olivia-Ruiz/dp/B001LV5OHG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305201492&sr=1-1 (samples here) As for being weird... I ordered the three Barry Sisters Collectables twofers last night, after having (for the fifth or sixth time in the past year) played their "Our Way (Tahka-Tahka)" three times in a row again. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks. I'll look into it. Not really looking to explore with my wallet too far in the genre as my gal has a lot to explore on hand. Quote
king ubu Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Nice one! Got it a few months ago, have to dig it up again! Quote
