What Are You Listening to? 2020

felt let the snakes crinkle etc, comforting like a baggy sweater. The CD I’m listening to has a plain white cover. I’m wondering if Lawrence was embarrassed by the headband he sported on the original sleeve photo. That full photo only appears on the very first pressing, iirc

Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou Ethiopiques 21, very nice solo piano disc

secretly the very best of the ethiopiques, and that's stiff competition.

On Facebook, Ethan Miller from Comets on Fire has been getting some of his musician pals to recommend albs that are on Spotify. Bill Orcutt repped for Solo Concert by Ralph Towner (1979 solo guitar show) and I listened to it yesterday on my balcony - it was the perfect accompaniment to blue skies, birds flying by, lockdown silence. A beautiful rec.

Noice. Fuzzed out electric saz stuff. Sounds enough like guitar that i coulds see it becoming an influence for some.
Noodlesome brilliance. yum.
I think Uzelli was a german based label catering to the immigrant population back when the Turks were the big immigrant workforce there.
This just came out a month or so ago. There's a companion volume of psych related stuff from the same label that I think I might look into getting. Also want to increase my other Anadolu Psych stuff. Shouldn't have put that off.

Has been the first disc of this so far . Sat unplayed on my shelf for way too long. I think I got this in Dublin in the late 90s.
I knew his material largely from other people covering him for years before buying this. His own versions are quite classic as tehy are, he was a great singer and a great songwriter.
I worked next to somebody who had direct contact with him in the late 60s when I was selling historic posters in Dublin.
Shame about his personal life.

got this in a box set thing of 5 lps which I think I mainly picked up because i was grabbing things from a sale. & I think mainly put it in my 3 changer cos it was lying around in the vicinity & i needed a 3rd disc.
Really enjoying it. Think his solo stuff from the 50s and 60s seems to be pretty consistent.

^ "Succotash" on that Herbie album is esp great IMO--nice propulsive uptempo danceable vamp-out in the vein of Ahmad Jamal's "Poinciana"
