I'm just wondering what genre to put that in?

Music to eat fried chicken by?

-OR-

Cook KFC in your own kitchen while the colonel reads the recipe out loud?

$150 and you can find out for yourself!

Shit, I haven't had KFC in a loooong time. The one on flatbush next to Juniors kept me alive for 6 months. So gross.

Looks like the Colonel may have been thinking of something different.... :shock:  :rofl:

There seems to have been a run on Tiajuana Brass LPs at the Crack House in the past two months. Multiple copies of many titles so it have been pretty easy yo cull through them and find clean copies. And for half a buck a piece, who can resist?  =P~

Four and More

With its sister recording 'My Funny Valentine,' 'Four and More' is the first recording of the "New Quintet" with Herbie, Ron and Tony. George Coleman is soon to be replaced with Wayne Shorter, but plays great on this record, although a bit outclassed, but only compared to later Shorter recordings with Miles which didn't exist yet.

Tony Williams is only 17yo on this recording. Just released from a short stint with Jackie McLean's band, he had only recently moved from Boston where he studied with the great drummer, teacher and my own mentor, Alan Dawson. All the big name bop drummers would come to see him play and dig the new sound of jazz drumming. Other drummers were playing like this too, like Joe Chambers, but Tony was the first to get it on record.

This is the last recording date on which Miles played anything but his own compositions. It is also arguably his finest playing, artistically and technically. Although his earliest west coast bebop trumpet recordings are technically better, this concert has him already established and comfortable being "The Miles Davis."

A reviewer on Amazon says this concert was a fund raising benefit for NAACP, CORE and SNCC months after MLK assassination and was unexpectedly pro bono.

I first heard this at the home of jazz pianist and Jazz Messenger James Williams. He couldn't believe that I had never heard it before and made a tape of it for me. He really dug it and thought miles was the shit. I just thought he was Bird's trumpeter and didn't have much use for him. as a trumpeter I still don't have much use for him, but this record and a couple others that it introduced to me by association opened my eyes to Miles the brand, and Miles the bandleader and music maker. So many younger trumpeters bought into the brand and didn't know the trumpet was BS. Eventually they figured it out, but hard to undo a jazz style once learned. A mixture of Woody Shaw licks with Miles attitude and inflection is the norm for young trumpeters today. They have all spent many many hours listening to this record. To many of them it is the genesis of modern jazz trumpet.

This is the best actual jazz blowing of "The Second Quintet" on record. They are pissed to play for free, they are all new in the band and want to impress Miles, they are recording live for Columbia Records for the 1st time, and they are young and at the peak of their technical power. There is a measure of humility, even in William's playing that adds to the magic. There's really nothing else like it.

Yo-Yo Ma/Bobby McFerrin: Hush



The idea here was to put two masters together--one classical cellist, one improvisational singer/sound-effects performer--and voilà! instant amazing, unique, hip--and, hopefully, hit--record. The intriguing setup was to see what would happen when each led the other through the unfamiliar territory of his own specialty. The success of this recording lies not so much in the music or even in the overall performances, but in the fascinating and fun opportunity to sit in on the musicians' good-natured, respectful give-and-take, to witness an uncommon form of artistic chemistry that allows each performer to expand his vision and even his technique. On one hand we get Bobby McFerrin's impressionistic, improvisatory jazz/pop; on the other we enjoy Yo-Yo Ma's highly refined, formalized musicianship. Originally planned as a disc for children, Hush goes far beyond its initial premise, with each of the 13 tracks demonstrating these musicians' unique gifts and showing that, whether it's Vivaldi or jazz, it's all music and it's all a lot of fun. --David Vernier

Arthey Fiedler & The Boston Pops: Capriccio Italien/Capriccio Espagnol


CD pressing of the Crystal Clear Direct to Disc LP (The CD was actually mastered from the original D2D lacquer.) Some of my favorties performances of both pieces. And while the sonics are not quite up to those of the D2D LP version, they are still very credible.

Definitely a keeper.

Can be found on Amazon to as little as 10 cents!

John Williams & the Boston Pops: Unforgettable



Typical of the John Williams/Boston Pops recordings. Nice program, decent sonics, but played in a very mechanical way. Played technically well from a musical perspective, but with no emotion. Sounds like a bunch of session players who were just paid scale to show up, play somehing off a score and go home (can you say movie soundtrack.) The Pops under Fiedler always sounded like they were all having fun and putting there all into each piece. These guys aregood musicians, I just always get the feeling that they are bored.Did anyone else get the same impression of the Pops during the Williams years? (Luckily they started to perk up again under the direction of Keith Lockhart. :D)
