Hi and Hey and Thanks for the support. I can hear the old scratches and pop of the ancient vinyl... haven't actually heard this album in a couple of years. GOD, is Fred Smith great or what on Bass, and the power group vocals. WOW, I had forgotten how wonderful this record is. ---- Richard Lloyd

Special Guests
Mark Bosch Guitar

YOU cannot define The Cynz. Their tracks are the alchemy of punk, rock, poetry, song.  Cyndi's style is her own. Henry Seiz brings years of old school, jazz, pop rock, swing and punk to the table. The combination of all these influences are The Cynz. They simply KICK ASS.

Excelsior! Lon, nothing better than new old glowing glass. So my kit it's all been restored and reassembled. I picked up my refurbished JBL speakers yesterday I plugged in the Rega I/O combo phono preamp and amplifier to my JVC QLY-66F DD TT and dusted off a box of mint Vintage Vinyl. Been going at it ever since. https://youtu.be/E4c275_GM3U Lo-Fi 720p

While I was on my rounds Saturday I walked into 30th Street Guitars and walked out with this Harmony Stratatone from 1963, it was my first electric guitar. Found it hanging there waiting for me.

Johnny Griffin "Lady Heavy Bottom's Waltz" Rearward cd





A great small group recording drawn from the personnel of the Clarke Boland Big Band. This sure does have a heavy bottom with both of the maestro drummers and the big rich sound of Jimmy Woode. And Johnny Griffin. . .I think he got lucky and didn't get a speeding ticket on this one.

James Brown - Super Bad (Parts 1 & 2) ft. The Original J.B.s

miles: the complete bitches brew sessions disc 2

the coolest man on the planet

I enjoy Phil Woods, and Herbie Mann never really got the mainstream recognition he deserved... not the greatest album but very listenable.

That's a nice session that Woods and Mann. I heard a track from it on the Spectrum jazz channel and bought the cd. Well recorded, nice late career work from them both.

I really like the 'fifties work by Mann for Bethlehem and Riverside et al. He is known as a flautist, but was very good on the tenor sax and the bass clarinet as well. A good bandleader, discoverer of talent, and composer and arranger.

Can I get a Witness?


The Rolling Stones is the debut studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released by Decca Records in the UK on 16 April 1964. The American edition of the LP, with a slightly different track list, came out on London Records on 30 May 1964, subtitled England's Newest Hit Makers, which later became its official title

"Can I Get a Witness" was notably covered by the Rolling Stones on their first album, The Rolling Stones in 1964. The Stones also recorded a self-composed instrumental sequel called "Now, I've Got a Witness" on that same album. The majority of the tracks reflect the band's love for R&B. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (whose professional name until 1978 omitted the "s" in his surname) were fledgling songwriters during early 1964, contributing only one original composition to the album: "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)". Two songs are credited to "Nanker Phelge" – a pseudonym the band used for group compositions from 1963 to 1965. Phil Spector and Gene Pitney both contributed to the recording sessions, and are referred to as "Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene" in the subtitle of the Phelge instrumental "Now I've Got a Witness".

Joe, that Rolling Stones album is one of my all time favorites. I bought it first as a kid who had to save his money made weeding a farm field to buy his next album.
I have ten or so LPs, even my first, and a modern CD.

I still love it.
Streaming it through my garage mono system with my kludge computer, via MAudio outs while I finish refilling all my neglected (for over a week) bird feeders.
My favorite was "Suzie Q" back in those days. I had heard it several ways, but this was my favorite version. It was more detailed and orchestrated than most versions. TOO DAMN SHORT, though.
I wanted an hour of it!

Very cool morning and I'm enjoying my mono rig while still moving forward with my dodgy F15 baffle mockups.

I agree with JBzen, from another thread, about the manmade products not being to par, but I started out making these, just so anxious to hear the Lii drivers. Then a dash of real life to slow me up.

I am muscling through this make up, mock up and I WILL hear those F15s soon in my own room.
Done with the router work and just need a base to get them standing.

I'm spinning various classical CDs, now.

Strauss, at the moment.  Don Juan, Op 20, via a Deutsche Grammophon collection rip I did ages ago.

Even though Paquito is getting along in age, his sound is still unmistakable.

OK Lon I'll bite what is an LP facsimile version?  

I've got Miles Walkin', Relaxin', and Cookin' on Prestige.  The RVG 20-bit remasters and they sound great - some of the cleanest recordings I've heard.   Is what you describe the next level up?

Lon,

As always, thanks.

Interesting performances!

Erroll Garner "One World Concert" Octave/Mack Avenue cd



Man the personality in this pianism! This is a good disc to show why people loved Erroll so much. "Sweet and Lovely" here is incredible.

And the Plangent Process was used. God Bless the Plangent Process.

Grant Green "Feelin' the Spirit" Blue Note Japan UHQCD



I love Herbie's playing on this one. And Billy is so interesting here, grooving and testifying.

Dave Douglas Quintet "Brazen Heart Live at Jazz Standard - Friday" disc2, "9:30" second set

Lou Donaldson "Sassy Soul Strut" Blue Note Japan cd 2021



I agree with the AllMusic review by Jason Ankeny who stated "Sassy Soul Strut quickly settles comfortably into a light, accessible mode too lively to dismiss as smooth jazz but too mellow to pass as anything else. Butler's arrangements haven't dated particularly well, but the record's too innocuous and good-natured to qualify as an outright failure. It's simply forgettable, nothing more and nothing less."

Flora Purim "Everyday, Everynight" Warner Bros LP.



I bought this when it was a new release and loved it then and still do now. Raulzinho on trombone really delivers!

Greg Osby "Further Ado" Blue Note cd



As my system has improved I've been able to enjoy some discs better than ever before. This is one of them.
