Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I got my Xmas present from my jazzbo bro -- he sent me the Thelonious Monk Quartet w/Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. It is so, so, SO good.

I got this for my brother. With every intention of putting it on our iPod before we leave his vicinity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Has anybody been playing with the Music Search feature on Google?
If you put in "Tom Waits" you get his albums ordered by title or release date and reviews off them, plus songs about him, etc.
Interesting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
erinaceous, did you know there's a song titled "(I Feel Like a) Dictionary"?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am Lego and I need to be loved...
The Thermos mic is a nice touch. Set starts to flag a bit, open it up, little blast of coffee, & you're ready to go.
You'll get many hours of enjoyment from that Monk CD, Steph. Listen to Monk's comping behind Trane on... it's either "Nutty" or "Epistrophy" from the first set -- just fabulous. Coltrane's gifts were prodigious no doubt, but he rarely (ever?) displays a sense of humor in his playing. Monk, on the other hand, makes me giggle all the time. How is he funny?, my wife asked the other day. I don't have the musical knowhow or vocab to describe it, but I think anyone with open ears can hear it in Monk. He's fundamentally serious, but he's very playful (notewise and especially timewise) and he sounds like he had a blast that night at Carnegie Hall. So treat yourself and ignore the virtuoso in the foreground to listen to the weird guy behind him.
Also, Tep, I've been meaning to recommend this to you and your Mingus-loving brother. It's not the notorious Mingus-didn't-have-the-music-ready-and-the-showcase-flopped Town Hall show from 1962. It was a small group (sextet, I think) recorded a few weeks before Dolphy's too, too early demise. The second track, here called "Praying With Eric," is my favorite recording of "Meditations on Integration." Dolphy's killer on alto, flute, & bass clarinet. The duet section with Mingus and Dolphy on bass clarinet, both playing really high in their instruments' registers, is very beautiful. Pianist Jaki Byard was on top of his game, too. Anyway, it's one track on emusic. Half an hour of great music for one download. Can't beat that. (Although you do need a fast connection cuz it's a bigass file.
