Speaking of xxxpost Rhino Handmade, a bunch of them are still available as mp3 sets (want Fugs, Television, prob more)(only one I have on CD: Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band's I’m Going To Do What I Wanna Do:Live At My Father’s Place, 1978, which I got when it first came out and is very good duhhhh
Cliche listening choice for a rainy winter's day (3 times in a row, which never happens, and getting more into details and the overall each time)jazz-blues-r&b ballads, small group, female singer, that 60s-early 70s vibe extended even though new songs, yet the scene is now/you are there: Lady Blackbird's Black Acid Soul, which title I thought was just hype before listening, but recording set-brings out just enough hyperreal, dry edge to voice and baby grand piano, also occasional vibes, used for inst. on one track as piccolo bass-range drone, sparingly, countering the upright bass on that same and I think every other track. Eventually some variety of instruments and tempo (also the closing title track sees and raises previous sonic designs' increasingly bolder, splashier advance into the 21rst Century).
Stylish singing, writing, playing, recording never affected, always and increasingly affecting---that one you might be hearing on local public radio, that you're thinking (esp. w piano) might be written by Laura Nyro? Actually Tim Fuckin Hardin, and nothing like "If I Were A Carpenter," although I could imagine Blackbird (whose opener, "Blackbird," is not the Beatles') getting away with that too.

Upright bass, I meant to say, is on every track (I think)

recording set-up, I meant.

xxxp aw yeah MILK ROCK!

First lp by Jazz singer recorded in japan in 1974 a year after the Abbey Lincoln lp I was listening to a couple of weeks ago. INterestingm is that like a thing, black American female singer records in japan either as debut or after long gap since last recording session.
She i sbacked here by her husband Cecil playing a load of different instruments and his brother Ron on a similar array a couple of other Americans and a pair of japanese none of whom I know other recordings by. Pretty cool new thing /spiritual jazz and some interesting choices of covers.
This was reissued by Mr Bongo a couple of years ago right at a time i was getting intrigued to hear it. Do love the Afro Blue here.

Disc 1 of the New York noise band's reunion era album. NOt been listening to this enough and getting to hear this yesterday on a higher volume did enhance teh sound. Had been playing it a lot more quietly since last friday.
Verges on the psychedelic in places, has some long trancey sections. I think I need to sit down and listen through the whole reunion era .
& regret not going and seeing the band while it was around again. As i did when i watched the documentary.
I think what I'm hearing here ties in with what I loved specifically about the 1988 live shows .The loudest heaviest folk rock band in history. Glad they kept that as part of the sound.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/36ba7db817bb21d4d48e0697809b7221/1674918
Australian long hair garage/freakbeat band of a Pretty Things bent.
THis was a result of my having to move things around to repair my cd player. It has been sitting on a shel on the far side of my bed that I can't get to easily . I bought it in the mid 00ies direct from teh label Half A Cow. It is that kind of rough r'n;b garagey stuff as espoused by teh early pretty Things and teh Sonics and stuff. Some comparisons to some of teh Dutch bands of teh mid 60s like Q65 etc.
A nice compi anyway , 28 tracks including a few by earlier bands that developed into the main one.

BUt this mops up a lot more of their ouevre as well as that of pre bands

Heavy droney Irish trad based music. Sounds like it was influenced by a few external influences, drone may actually be heavy enough to come from Power Electronics or something but is Uillean pipes, bits of psychedelia and things also appear.
This is my introduction to the band really , though I think I may have heard tracks elsewhere. I did see the singer perform at a traveeler festival called Misleor that the Traveller society in the local University put on. She sang the lead off track here unaccompanioed and said she learnt it from a traveller in London who was realted to another person on the same panel.
I think i will be buying the other recentish lp by this lot. Glad I picked this one up first though maybe would have wanted to grab both anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/964f7377eb2a79b42cce9ba4f8d3073c/7320816
80s pop band from Leeds singles collection. I' don't think this is as comprehensive as it might have been but it is really enjoyable. I know i hada couple of singles and possibly the first lp back around the time they came out but didn't get heavily into them.
Picked this up a couple of weeks back in the same purchase as the Lankum. & now finding myself getting into it quite a biit.
Wish it did give dates of releases etc. Would like to see when development happened & so on. I find that Marc's voice is a lot stronger than I remembered it being from the time. Thought he was struggling a bit at first from memory. I know he became a pretty powerful singer later on.
Also interested to work out to what extent this was 2 people. Were tehy a band after a certain point. Quite enjoying the artificial sound in places and wondering how much of that is the one electronic keyboard Ball is playing. Also need to look up what his background was pre band. Oh yeah suddenly realised that Soft sell is an advertising term, I had been thinking that soft cell was something photographic for a short while.
Think I might look into getting hold of some more of their stuff now. This had just been a somewhat random item in a local shop's racks .

self titled release by jazz pianist's late 70s combo. Pretty avant and stuff while still showing some of its roots in passing.

Disc 5 of the box set of the band that nhelped launch the mod revival. Comprised of alternative takes of tracks throughout their career.
Mainly got put on cos the rest of the box set is elsewhere, not sure where. I got this before I left Dublin so contents may be scattered in a load of places. I was prompted to listen to them from That Record Got Me High covering Setting Sons a couple of weeks back.
Hope I can find more fo teh set. Quite enjoying this.
They worked together quite well as a 3 piece anyway.

Dub reggae combo featuring Sly Dunbar among others. Largely instrumental but does havea few vocals.
This was the one disc by the band I found when looking. Want to hear more, particularly the cover of Watermelon man

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/73cfcc9716302b57baff0d460ef70998/7439758
2nd disc of box set by 60s mod group. Mainly soul influenced material and covers. They had a pretty powerful rhythm section which I'm not sure comes across clearly in the production, seems it's not the focus. Also the songs I've heard the originals of have been made a lotmore serene here, tend to be a lot rougher/rawer in the original. they were a pretty good harmony band with a great lead singer and Rickenbacker guitar which I think is more chorded than lead.
I really like the band and have done since the Edsel collection the Ultimate Action came out when i was like 14 years old, linernotes by Paul Weller though I put this on cos the box set has been sitting around my bedroom visibly for too long.
This is the stereo disc of their mod era stuff as opposed to the slightly later psychedelic stuff. It does have a few tracks taht are beginning to edge into psych . It's also material that was pretty much finished by George martin at around the time plus some demo/unfinished material as bonus.
very stylish

I dig your capsule reviews, Stevolende. I've checked out a number of artists based on them.

My standard morning routine is a jazz record, a blues record, and a rock record I've not heard before. Today's "jazz" find was closer to kitschy 50s pop, with accordion featured alongside guitar. Fortunately I love that stuff. Joe Puma's Wild Kitten has been re-released, and I find it hard to believe there are enough people who would want to own it to warrant a reissue.

Followed up with Memphis Slim's No Strain. Really nice piano blues record from 1961, featuring the undersung Lafayette Thomas on guitar on some tracks.

And Cricklewood Green by Ten Years After. I won't bother posting the cover as most have seen this record; I had never heard it before today.

Just heard them through my song of the day playlist. Just my jam, husky female vocals over droning guitars.

Ooh, this is nice for when I finally make it past the middle of last century, thanks!

San Francisco keyboard punk band led by outrageous queer activist and featuring some pretty harsh noise from a pair of electronic keyboards.
The band consisted of severaL members who went onto leading record labels but consciously refused to release anything during their existence. I'm not sure about the legitimacy of this Xeroid double cd but it rocks like a bastard.
It consists of several live sets and several sets of demoes. Sound is not always perfect but it does sound like the gigs must have been great. Keyboards here have the same attack that guitars do elsewhere.
I think there are some legal releases out now and there is definitely video material circulating and commerically released.

Malian early 70s melange of traditional sounds and some Western influences played on electric instruments. I love this stuff, their contemporaries Les Ambassadeurs and Orchestra baobab are both really good too.
I am slowly reading a book on Mande music which talks about the traditional music this is based on.
THis stuff is pretty awesome and has 2 companion volumes all of which compile material from a series of lps released at the time they were recorded.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/e04a6d2b23cdd19b937f0fe6abdc1889/1636035
LP recorded by a short lived version of the prog band. Bill Bruford an dRick Wakeman have both left so there's different drums and keyboards.
I have been trying to find an EQ setting that this sounds right on from a set of presets on my midi system. & it doesn't quite sound right on any of them. Oddly I keep trying though. Think I may have bought this about 10 years ago and tried it out a few times and just thought nah. Can tolerate the lps from the start of the 70s even enjoy bits of them. Though never going to be a fan of Jon Anderson's voice asnd do find the arrangements frequently overly busy, Am finding some of this interesting though, I think I do like bits of Chris Squire and Steve Howe, a bit of Patrick Moraz too.
Did hear people like Thurston Moore thought this was the bees knees but still not something I'm going to be overly championing.
People died in the punk wars after all

Second the appreciation for the King Hannah mention. Great vibe.

3 sessions from the band from 83 and 84. Some of it is minimal as f and I assume is consciously emulating Suicide.
THe limits of performance dictated by the use of a drum machine is pretty conspicuous. Means a lack of flexibility etc but I still enjoy most of this. Comes with a Dolly Parton cover I don't think I've heard elsewhere and a Hot Chocolate one I think had a couple of versions. One from the Stooges too which is one of teh more minimal tracks.
I'm semi surprised one fo these sessions was for Kid Jensen not sure if I should be, other 2 are Peel.
So Leeds based Goth pioneers with changing lineup reinvestigate early 70s and other influences in a reasonably interesting way.
I do enjoy these early on anyway.
THis reappeared in a local record shop after i missed a copy a few months ago so I thunk I would grab it.

Intere4sting take on jazz meets rock since I think this is mainly horns but shaped into something that apes rock or r'n'b but seems to have parping tuba doing basslines etc.
I should know more of Shabaka Hutchings etc's work but so far this is the one thing I have.
Some raps about the London experience for someone of African descent etc. Think I need to investigate.

This should really be in everybody's collection in some form. Here it's the original lp but bookended with bonus tracks. Starting with a shorter single version of All Tomorrow's Parties which threw me cos I was having trouble getting one copy to play. THink that may have disc rot or something anyway, now swapped to a different version from a different copy of the box set I picked up at some point. NOt sure how many I have.
Anyway interesting customisation of a formula that is still based in some form of r'n'b though reduced to a distillation and melded with some more avant influences. As I guess you will already know. Interesting points where the group quotes soul tracks or things like teh Byrds' take on Chimes of Freedom in guitar lines. Though there i think it is a specific part repeated endlessly.
The cd ends with 3 avantish tracks including a 10 minute stretch of a live version of Melody Laughter which you can now get in full if you get the 45th Anniversary Box set.

Manchester band's 3rd lp getting pretty abstract but deeply funky at least in places.
I wanted to put this on a while back or the lp before it but only just found it last week .I think I should be more familiar with these.

LP recorded as an arts project by the head of a local label last year. Took me way too lonjg to get my hands on a copy but put that right last week.
Nice melodic low fi stuff with echoes of a few bands like Mercury Rev, though not quite as fluid.
I enjoy this and want to support the label cos they are putting out some good folky somewaht psychy stuff.
Main artist here has a girlfriend who is also putting out some interesting folky stuff on the same label as a Lilac Decline, she is on backing vocals in a few places here.

European compilation of movie star's vocal work from various films and thing. Has Happy Birthday Mr President, a song called Some Like It Hot which i don't immediately recognise.
Picked this up in a charity shop a couple of weeks back. A habit I've got a bit more into after seeing FB posts from Keef who is the main guy from Loner Deluxe, he seems to have a lot of luck with the habit. I had forgotten to while scouring for books for ages.
Anyway this is quite good, maybe a bit white and did have me wondering if I should feel a dichotomy over liking this a great deal while rejecting Xmas music from this and other times for being overly white among other things. Though it probably has more to do with this being good and that being pap for the most part. I dunno, do prefer what she stood for but may overlap with teh white privileged society that the Xmas music of the time stood for from the same time. & she was a working class girl made good who got married to a leftist writer which might stand for something.
Toetapping tuneage anyway with her voice oozing breathily over it.

much expanded cd version of the Reggae classic lp.
Deejay vocalising in pre rap manner over dubby background.
Think this is at least twice as long with bonus tracks and its all pretty great.

1st disc of cheap 3cd of country chanteuse with great voice. THis has a lot of the pre Decca stuff and a smattering of later stuff. Her career was cut way too short thanks to a plane crash.
Loving the steel guitar here which adds a pretty dreamy texture in places. Early stuff is pretty stripped down. Decca stuff seems less schmaltzy than I feared but have only heard first disc so far. & there is a process of selection I think. Anyway quality stuff, sound is good
& I'm discovering a singer I've managed to overlook for way too long. & looking for some more intentionally psychedelic pedal steel guitar since I'm getting hints of that here but it's way too early for it to be that. Just making me think of possibilities in the sound here. & wondering what did consciously pick up on that from here .

Mojo covermount cd from current issue, some influences and things on Floyd. Bookended by thge 2 tracks that are supposed to be teh sources of Interstellar overdrive, somebody humming or vocalising the tune of Love's take on Little Red Book to Syd Barrett and the Steptoe and Son theme tune i thought for years was something I was the only person hearing in it. Looks like Andrew Hickey was noticing it too and the presence of the track here would suggest it was more widespread still.
Got a great 11+ minute version of East West by Paul Butterfield group on too which may be the well known version, I should listen to the source lp more and recognise better. I think this was one of the big influences on psychedelic bands stretching tracks out in the mid 60s, this, the Yardbirds, John Coltrane and a few other things including recreational drugs, like. Thinking of which just read Robby Krieger saying that once he was using heroin regularly Butterfield got some off him and never payed and stuff. Which was a major let down from a one time idol of his. Not sure if he's on this anyway since i don't hear vocals or harmonica here. It's more about instrumental interplay.
Also got Chico Hamilton track that Nick Mason picked up use of mallets in drumming from.
Fills out an hour plus of great music and shows that whoever they have compiling the cds for the magazine is still on form or delegation as to who that is is still good.

1965 set from jazz saxophonist and no augmented group for the most part, I think there are 2 basses on Nature Boy though.
I was knocked out by the version of My Favourite Things from Belgium in the same year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehYM_cg2DHI
and intrigued as to what hge did with other show tunes at around the same time. I had bought this a few years ago and was looking through my racks and this turned up so thunkj I'd bung it on.
It seems like he references the main theme of Chim Chim Cheree very limitedly on like 2 occasions during the version here. What he winds up with is pretty great but is this even a swirl running through the performance, seems to be more My Favourite Things in the various versions.
& I think Nature Boy too has more statement of the theme. Though maybe that's not really teh point.
It's not being sold to somebody who isn't already converted in my case. THough I think I have struggled with teh Quartet at this time before.
Do love what they're laying down in 62 and wish there was more of the later Quintet recorded.
Interesting to hear about crowds in 66 only listening to the band state the theme to My Favourite Things together and leaving when they went onto solos. I had the full version of My Favourite Things from Japan on my walkman turning up at random or that is to say I edited off the introductory bass solo which went on for 15 minutes or whatever. I like that stuff , would love more of that stuff. Apparently its not to everybody's tastes though. I have been listening to that for like 25 years when it would have only been available to audiences for a couple of years when it was around. Interesting , do you need to be weaned onto it and not have it dropped on you or something.
This is a good record, seems to be pretty melodic to me and interesting choice of songs to cover. I need to check out a list of the show tunes he took outside for a duff up or re/de constructed or whatever.
What constitutes pop music if these are standards, & is a standard seen to be anything more than a launchpad post his released version of My Favourite Things though presumably similar things could be said of the work of earlier artists like Charlie Parker among others. I think he may have played for longer and more intensely but still that reinvention was a large part of what made jazz or the new thing or whatever one wanted to call it. The idea that people no longer wanted to call it jazz because that was a form that had been usurped by whites and then applying the techniques of whatever one wanted to call it to very white songs is interesting innit? Now wondering if teh same thing applies to Nina Simone's covering of very white singer songwriter tunes from the mid 60s onwards.

Recently reissued , long not easily available live set by Canadian artist. Think it is pretty necessary ojn finally getting it.
I had a thing a few years ago of trying to work out what the archedtypal groups on the birth of rock were, thinking about things like the Drifting Cowboys and I think at least one of the groups that backed Al Green on his turn of the 70s Hi material, though maybe that is more one case had me thinking who was actually shaping what would become the sound for rock and what I wished was. Anyway the band here is another one for the latter. Takes a sloppy sound part based in honky tonk country and electrifies it more and adds in a few more influences. Not sure if this is a basis a lot of later bands did use as an archetype or not but I think it is pretty ideal. Also had the idea of what is the default band sound in one's head when they think of rock and does it map directly to a single band, think that's probably pretty personal and helps define what one is into in terms of bands. Could see that applying here. In short I do like this band a lot.
Stumbled on this when i was looking through racks in local record shops a few weeks ago. Hadn't heard it had been released individually, think it has been available for a while in a small box set that has been pretty pricey.
Young thinking that the correct response to his releases becoming mainstream is to head for the ditch winding up with material like this is pretty great. I have heard this maverick streak was pretty influential on a number of people who you might not immediately associate with teh sound here. But the sound is so great anyway.

Jazz singer compilation ranging from mid 50s to mid 60s. What a voice.
I seem to be picking up some great chanteusey stuff recently. THis has more strings than I would really like but they do seem to have been done rather well. Think I might look at what smaller band stuff she has but do like a decent violin.
The word mellifluous comes to mind on hearing her. Really what a voice.
Think I've been aware of the name for years though think I've been skipping the a in the surname.
went into a local book shop to get the recent Bob Stanley (pre) history of pop music book cos I knew they had it in cheap and while looking around the shop I found this and very glad i did . I should have been aware of her much earlier now wonder who else along these lines I've known the name but not the music of . Need to further explore Ella Fitzgerald for one.

Manchester institution's late 80s single bsides, possibly more creative though As are also pretty good. Due to bad curation on my part I only have one disc of this that I think is playable, bought this like 25 years ago when I was still living in Dublin. Looks like other disc has some heavy gouges. I think I might try to get a new copy o9f this though I think the full singles set may be taking the place of this. I think I bought it for tracks on the first disc mainly which is why this is in better shape possibly.
Anyway quit ea decent band in places. This covers an era when Mark's girlfriend Brix has come in on more conventional guitar so the band is still a bit more poppy than it had been at one point. Still very interesting. Mark's lyricism was always worth a perusal I think, had a really idiosyncratic worldview like.
I think I was still going and seeing them quite regularly throughout this period. Probably started around the beginning of the set and may have tailed off towards teh end though I do remember heading to Belfast from Dublin to see them so not sure exactly when taht was.
I think my peak period for them may be around 82 and the late 70s though. Hex and Dragnet and stuff.

Another word for Sarah Vaughan 's singing style is melismatic. Pretty great breaking up of lines into note array like.

Actually swapped these out so I had something new to listen to on New Year's Day. Then undid everything by having the first thing I listened to on the 3 player for teh New Year be the cd cleaner. Ho hum.

which is an anachronistic photo for a trio performance. Prophecy has saxophone with rhythm section bass and drums which seems full enough sound. Bells has Saxophone plus added trumpet playing brother, alto saxophone different bassist and same drummer- Sonny Murray.
Got prompted to put this on by reading the Richard Koloda biography Holy Ghost. I need to sort through my cds and see what I have by Albert Ayler I know I had a few titles on vinyl decades ago not sure if I have replaced them all on cd still. So not sure what I dod have on cd at the moment.
Enjoyed this greatly so again should be listening to this more not letting it sit on a pile of cds for ages .This may be him at his most free not sure, does seem that Michael Samson did tie in with freedom well and was playing off other players, the addition of harpsichord seems to be a constraint elksewhere possibly more so than using piano which is itself a firmly tuned instrument.
I do like that thing he is doing when Samson and Cobb are onboard weird interplay based on folk and other simple themes. Seems like Donald brought in the idea of using marches more than Albert did. Anyway very interesting artist, would love to hear where he would have gone to if he hadn't died in 1970 still exploring areas that Marie Maria may have suggested . he appears to have been trying to get away from her influence and didn't manage to.
I think I do need to listen to those 3 lps from taht era and Fondation maeght. I think i have New Grass at least.

the bonus disc of the Blixa Sounds version of the 2nd lp of LA band's 2nd lp. This has pretty full sounding versions of demoes of the tracks fromm the lp plus the next 2 which I'd like to know more about who was playing on.
Miami is a favourite lp, a claustrophobic New York studio winds up with teh band sounding pretty expansive. Not 100% sure where the demoes were recorded but these do seem to be decent alternative versions or at least mixes of the material therein.
Garagey psychy melange of various roots forms and post-punk rock which I've loved for close to 4 decades. I think I need to get the other 2 pre retirement lps in the Blixa Sounds versions . Have now seen that they have gone onto at least Mother Juno, not sure where they will continue to.

2nd lp by current band. My first by them. It appeared in a local mainstream music shop so must be having some impact.
I enjoy the musical interplay, guitarist has a style that reminds me of some things I'm trying to place.
Female vocalist's lyric style is pretty unique. Repeating bits of small talk in a nearly cut up way. Haven't seen them live so not sure how she handles singing/vocalising there. If she repeats the same things exactly or what.
I think I will be picking up more of their output. THis is pretty good. Cover challenging views of tastelessness.
