This week, after returning from working at Glastonbury, I have mostly been listening to errr, Kate Bush. :shock:

I'm rapidly concluding that "Running up that hill" is one of my favourite tunes ever.

Also playing:
Can - Tago Mago
Propaganda - A Secret Wish

JaS, Cloudbursting is good, but reminds me too much of the Utah Saints who sampled it... :roll:

Anyway, today I have been mostly listening to Neil Young - Harvest, having found a tidy copy in my local s/h record emporium.

The triple LP box of "Young, Gifted & Black", on Trojan.

50 of the best, and perfect for this sunny weather.

Last night, Keith Herron dropped by with some experimental circuits to evaluate. Among the LPs played was a 45 rpm test pressing given to Keith by Stan Ricker. I have no idea who was playing, or what label it was for, but it was jazz of electrifying quality--both sonically and artistically.

Another goosebump producer was Jacintha's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" in the 45 rpm version (a bonus with the "Lush Life" album on Groove Note).

I think Time Out was Brubeck's best album. All the cuts have unusual time signatures. My favorite cuts are Take 5 (5/4) and Blue Rondo A La Turk (9/8). My copy is mono (Columbia CL1397). It has a few more ticks than I like. My sister and I bought it back in the early sixties when we we kids and did not have a decent turntable. I have still not upgraded to stereo.

I just started it on my old Empire 208 / SME 3009 / Stanton 680EE. Next on my list is a SQ pressing of Body Heat by Quincy Jones. QJ was a major producer from the 1960s when he did Jazz until at least then 80's when he was a huge influence in Funk.

Recently I have been digitizing some 78s that I am borrowing from a neighbor. Most are from the 30s and 40s. They have been a hit at the Wendsday old jazz listing sessions at work. A couple of the people who attend were DJs and Radio announcers in the 50's and 60's. They can still guess the title, artists, and label during the first 30 seconds of the tune!

Phil and Quill RCA LPM-1284 (1957)

Phil Woods and Gene Quill excellent pair of Tenor Saxophonists. I am fortunate that the vinyl on this one is near mint. A feast to listen to.

A friend burned me a copy of CD #2 of Brubeck at Carnegie Hall, and last night it supplanted vinyl for awhile. Omigawd, that must be the most virtuosic drum solo on record! The whole set is fabulous, arguably the group's finest performance, and a must-have for any jazz fan.

I've got that one a recent vinyl reissue. Castilian drums is an amazing performance.

Joe Morelo must have needed oxygen afterwards. :mrgreen:

Edit: The correct name for that cut is Castilian Drums NOT Sicillian Drums. :oops:
