Bob Dylan "Trouble No More" Bootleg Series Vol. 13, disc 5



I like this "Christian" era of Bob's more as time goes by. . . but I'm going to skip "Man Gave Names to all the Animals"--I always do. What a dumb song.

Chants of India is an album by Indian musician Ravi Shankar released in 1997 on Angel Records. Produced by his friend and sometime collaborator George Harrison, the album consists of Vedic and other Hindu sacred prayers set to music, marking a departure from Shankar's more familiar work in the field of Hindustani classical music. The lyrical themes of the recorded chants are peace and harmony among nature and all creatures. . Anoushka Shankar, John Barham, Bikram Ghosh, Tarun Bhatacharaya and Ronu Majumdar are among the many world class musicians who contributed to the recording.

All songs are traditional, adapted by Ravi Shankar, except where noted.

Lon for me it's at the top of my early morning meditation or just serenity albums, surprisingly for something in Hindu/Vedic it has a lot of ear-worms that like Steve said have become part of my brain grey matter muscle memory. This is ancient music.

PS I listened to the organ your GGGGreat Grandfather made yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Could you share more of his story?

Abdul Wadud, Cellist Who Crossed Musical Boundaries, Dies at 75
He performed with classical ensembles, but he was best known for his work with cutting-edge composers and improvisers like Anthony Davis and Julius Hemphill. “What Pablo Casals did for the Bach suites,” a fellow cellist said, “I feel like Abdul Wadud did for the new generation of cello in jazz.

Started this yesterday and finishing off listening to it this morning--had to shut the system down a bit early as my wife asked for one of her. favorite dinners and I had to run to the store to get some ingredients.

I love this one! "Santana (III)" -- I'm listening to the 2 channel SACD layer of the most recent Japanese SACD that included the Quad mix layer. Superb packaging. I think I may prefer the slightly warmer Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD but it's close. . . both sound fantastic.

Pharoah Sanders - Karma 1969 full album
Featuring The Creator Has A Master Plan

Karma is Sanders' third recording as a leader, and is among a number of spiritually themed albums the Impulse! record label released in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Although it is followed by the brief "Colors", the album's main piece is the 32-minute-long "The Creator Has a Master Plan", co-composed by Sanders with vocalist Leon Thomas.

Some see this piece as a kind of sequel to Sanders' mentor John Coltrane's legendary 1964 recording A Love Supreme (whose opening it echoes in a muscular yet lyrical opening "prelude", with Sanders playing over a suspended, non-rhythmic backdrop, before the entrance of a bass figure which underpins much of the piece). It features Sanders on tenor sax, along with two of his most important collaborators, the aforementioned Leon Thomas and pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, as well as a supporting cast of musicians who were major musicians in their own right: flautist James Spaulding; French-horn player Julius Watkins; bassist Reggie Workman, who had played with Coltrane earlier in the 1960s; second bassist Richard Davis; drummer Billy Hart, and percussionist Nathaniel Bettis.This original recording contains extended free instrumental sections, particularly the third section, where the saxophonist demonstrates some of the techniques which build his distinctive sound, including a split-reed technique, overblowing, and multiphonics, which give a screeching sound.

Miles Davis "In A Silent Way" Mobile Fidelity SACD



This is one of the albums that first really turned me on to music itself, and that I have been listening to for about 50 years. I use it when I want to hear how my system is doing as I know its nuances so well. I did some speaker re-positioning to good effect yesterday.

When I first started getting into Jazz it took me a while to get around to Miles. Not until I saw him at the Fillmore East when he was getting into his rock jazz did I check him out and I didn't go back to his cool jazz until much much later. I came in to Jazz by going to live shows at the Village Gate or Village Vanguard and other nightclubs. When I was working in a record store I was befriended by a lieutenant in the black panthers and he took me under his wing and started taking me to shows all over the place.
Big Al took me up to the Lenox Lounge where all the greats sat in after hours and jammed that is when I first started getting my taste for jazz.

Miles Davis–The Complete On The Corner Session 1972 disc's 1 &2

On the Corner is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer Miles Davis. It was recorded in June and July 1972 and released on October 11 of the same year by Columbia Records. The album continued Davis's exploration of jazz fusion, and explicitly drew on the influence of funk musicians Sly Stone and James Brown, the experimental music of Karlheinz Stockhausen, ideas by composer Paul Buckmaster, and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman.

Recording sessions for the album featured a changing lineup of musicians including bassist Michael Henderson, guitarist John McLaughlin, and keyboardist Herbie Hancock, with Davis playing the electric organ more prominently than his trumpet. Various takes from the sessions were then spliced together using the tape editing techniques of producer Teo Macero. The album's packaging did not credit any musicians, an attempt to make the instruments less discernible to critics. Its artwork features Corky McCoy's cartoon designs of urban African-American characters.

Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released on 28 March 1973.

The album benefited from two band members installing studios at home, which allowed them to develop more sophisticated songs and arrangements and expand their musical style. Several songs subsequently became fixtures in the group's live set, including "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song" and "No Quarter". Other material recorded at the sessions, including the title track, was shelved and released on the later albums Physical Graffiti and Coda. All instruments and vocals were provided by the band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The album was produced by Page and mixed by Eddie Kramer.

George Martin's Often Overlooked Masterpiece
Yellow Submarine Side Two

Side two consists of recordings of the symphonic film score composed by the Beatles' producer, George Martin, specifically for the album. The recording took place with a 41-piece orchestra over two three-hour sessions on 22 and 23 October 1968 in Abbey Road, and was edited down to the length on the LP on 22 November 1968

In some of his arrangements, Martin referenced his past work with the Beatles; for example, "Sea of Time" includes what MacDonald terms "an affectionate quotation" from the Indian-styled "Within You Without You", from Sgt. Pepper, and "Yellow Submarine in Pepperland" reprises the film's title track. In "Sea of Monsters", Martin included the beginning of Bach's Air on the G String, while in other selections he parodies works by Stravinsky. MacDonald also detects the influence of Mozart and Webern among the "classical allusions" in Martin's score.

1.      "Pepperland"      2:18
2.      "Sea of Time"      3:00
3.      "Sea of Holes"      2:16
4.      "Sea of Monsters"      3:35
5.      "March of the Meanies"      2:16
6.      "Pepperland Laid Waste"      2:09
7.      "Yellow Submarine in Pepperland"      2:10
                                     Total length:      17:44

Nile Rodgers was born in the Lower East Side, New York City to Beverly Goodman. She gave birth to Rodgers when she was 14. His biological father, Nile Rodgers Sr. – a traveling percussionist who specialized in Afro-Cuban beats – was rarely present as Rodgers grew up; although influential in his life, Rodgers saw his father only a "handful" of times prior to his death in 1970. In 1959, Goodman married Bobby Glanzrock, whom Rodgers described in his 2011 autobiography as a "beatnik PhD, whose observations had angles that would make Miles Davis contemplate his cool." Richard Pryor, Thelonious Monk, and Lenny Bruce often visited their home in Greenwich Village. Glanzrock and Goodman were addicted to heroin, and Rodgers began using drugs at 13.

Before learning to play the guitar at 16, Rodgers played the flute and the clarinet. As a teenager, he played guitar with African, Persian, Latin, jazz and Boogaloo bands.] He became a subsection leader of the Lower Manhattan branch of the New York Black Panther Party as a teenager. His cousin, trumpeter Robert "Spike" Mickens was a member of hitmakers Kool and the Gang from 1964 to 1986.

Nile was involved with the youth breakfast program where they had meals for kids the Panthers promoted  community outreach like day care and early education in the 60s.We was all about music. He got me into places I couldn't go cause I was just a kid and I'm a little pale. This was way before Chic Le Freak.
