    Still in the Blood groove today:


    Fantastic solo stuff. I remember seeing a video on YouTube of Blood playing solo at a festival somewhere.

    Blood's explicit melding of Harmolodics and the blues illuminates further the blues that's at the heart of Ornette's work.

    I have declared this Blood Thursday and Friday.

    James Blood Ulmer - In and Out
  • AlanAlan
    I envy you chaps - I'm stuck in an autocad class today!

    :(

    I might try & get some cheapo second hand little feat CDs though at the next quiet spot.

    Shhh...teacher's coming!

    OK. It's now been reclassified as Guitar-led Bands Day 

    Mary Halvorson Quintet - Saturn Sings

    This one turned up on quite a few 'best of' lists last year, and it deserves it. At times it sounds like 60s Blue Note updated to 21st Century - that's Blue Note Hard Bop as well as Blue Note Free.

    Apropos of not much, I've been to Nantucket. There were no sleighs in late October.

    Felix Papaldri (sp) was a wild guitar player though
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Felix was a guitar shredding cat! (time to collect my outer garments again, I think)
  • JimJim
    What is it with you and cats today?

    Just getting ready for a purrfect weekend with the entirely bug-free V2 Young DAC, of course  :-D

    Ah, of course.  Good luck with that then ;)

    I must check out some more Cannonball Adderley, what do people suggest to add to 'Somethin' Else'?

    Live at The IT Club
    Live Paris 1960
    Know What I Mean
    The Black Messiah

    are my favourites from Cannonball
    Jim, I have searched for 'Live at the IT club', and all I seem to find is 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. Live at The Club'. Is that the same recording, or can you point me towards where I can find it.

    I didn't see that recording listed on his Wikipedia discography, but quite possibly an omission.
    The same seems to be true for the Live Paris 1960.

    Hi Jamie

    Yup, same one mate.  Mercy, Mercy, Mercy is the third track.  The Paris live one could be called any number of things; it's been reissued more than once.  Was recorded June 1960, that should narrow it down.

    Garrard motors! Is that allowed?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Is that their 'difficult' second album?
  • DominicDominic
    Yes it is. What was their first album again?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Wasn't it a Link Wray cover, Rumble?  :)

    Lovely!  Haven't heard that in ages.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I'm really enjoying it with the levels pushed up nicely.

    It really is the Scott LaFaro show, I feel. Although his solos are a little samey, they are still astonishing 50 years on.

    An artistic one. 

    It's a jazz group improvising with an Italian brass band playing Opera music. I think it's really good.
