Looking to relax tonight, I'm easin' it with some piano players. First, some Art Tatum solo & trio (with Tiny Grimes & Slam Stewart, yeah!) recordings, then, in a similar vein, Clarence Profit's 1939 solo recordings and his 1939/1940 trio recordings most noted for Jimmy Shirley's guitar. Also included is Profit's 1930-1935 work with he Washboard Serenaders. Perfectly mellow.

Rude Once Too Often
Chet Baker "V" the Other Mamma from "Mamma & the Pappas"

Since one bought ones Turntable /ipod/ thingemy /mp3 burner , one has been busy converting all of ones old vynil into MP3s

The last Album one converted was Michele Phillips ( the other Mama from Mama and the Papas) the thin one

Her 1977 album "Victim of Romance)

With titles like "Trashy Rumours" and a torch song delivery of the old Bee Gees song "Baby as you turn away"... heaven.... she sounds like a Heart broken Linda Rondstedt

Oh if the face is familiar she played Anne on "Knots Landing" in the late 1980's (its a TV soap apparently)

Drivin' around today: Gene Krupa "Drummin' Man" & The Johnny Otis Radio Broadcasts. I cycle back to that Otis cd pretty often.

One Too Many
Tonight I find myself sitting, here in front of my loyal computer in an extraordinarily dark room and working up ideas on how best to attack the development of a personal statement, listening to the latest release by Qntal, [Translucida], currently on the third track, Slahte Wille.

Bonus: M-Audio has finally released Delta-series drivers for the Vista platform. Thus, I can finally pipe music through my computer-based audio chain as original envisaged: Audiophile 24/96 to a Headamp GS-1 and out through Beyerdynamic DT770/Pro cans.

Colour me happy =)

Perennial Favorites, The Squirrel Nut Zippers

I have heard of them before, but hadn't had a chance to listen to them.

Great stuff.

The Meatbox plays:

The Girl I Left Behind Me (Is Constantly Before Me) - Orville Knapp & Orch., 1935
One of the earliest (and most musicianly) "Mickey Mouse Bands" - electric organ and pedal steel, soprano sax lead, two-beat tuba, shuffle brushes, plenty of vibrato and dynamics. They called it the "Music of Tomorrow" then. It wasn't.

Illinois Jacquet's All Stars 1945-1947 recordings, featuring Bill Doggett & Leo Parker. The great Freddie Green chuggin' along behind most of it. Blow blow blow!
