    The Word of Mouth Big Band - The Word is Out.
    Is that Jaco Pastorius' Word of Mouth Band?
  • GromitGromit
    Dave - should've really said it's the 'Jaco Pastorius Big Band' who, under the leadership of Peter Graves formed a 'tribute' band to the great JP. Guests on the album include trumpeters
    Randy Brecker and Arturo Sandoval, guitarists Hiram Bullock and Mike
    Stern, tenor saxophonists Ed Calle and Bob Mintzer, drummers Peter
    Erskine and Robert Thomas, Jr.

    Not a bad line-up ;)

    Wow! Not too shabby. I'll have to look that one out.

    The Jaco album, Word of Mouth is one of my very favourite albums.

  • uglymusicuglymusic
    You seem to like that one.
  • JimJim
    I thought that as I posted.  It is getting more than it's fair share of air play at the moment.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Well, I'm listening to AP at the VV, just for a change.
  • JimJim

    B-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Sounds verra nace through the new DAC  :)
  • JimJim
    I must get round to yours to hear all this new fangled - watchimacallit it dig-it-al? stuff.  You'll have to explain it all to me though :)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I thought you knew more about digital than I do...

    But, yes. Let's find a slot. I have an operation next month and may be out of action for about two weeks. Before that, I have a number of pre-op things to do, so there are a few times booked out of my diary, on top of work things.
  • JimJim
    We'll work it out I'm sure.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I'm sure we will.

    David Sylvian - Blemish
  • JimJim
    You (New) Romantic, you :)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Yep. It even has that great popster Derek Bailey on some tracks.
  • AlanAlan
    I'm sure we will.

    David Sylvian - Blemish
    Is that the one you played last time I came? I quite liked that - not really heard anything like it before.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Probably. Lots of sometimes non-musical sounds, somehow assembled into a tune.

    Some of the things David Sylvian is doing these days are pretty much unique.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    David S Ware - Onecept
  • AlanAlan
    That seems about right - big sounds, yet sparse somehow.

    Like me.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    :-t
  • JimJim
    Cannball Adderley - Live at the It Club
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The Fully Celebrated - Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones
  • GromitGromit
    I'm sure we will.

    David Sylvian - Blemish
    Talking of David Sylvian (indirectly) I read earlier that Mick Karn (bass player with Japan) died today, as did Gerry Rafferty.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Oh, that is sad.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Tony Malaby - Adobe
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Ralph Towner - Lost and Found
  • JimJim
    Just ran some Sylvian up on Spoticus.  I quite like the newer stuff even if does still sound like David Bowie :)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    What have you found?

    Vijay Ayer - Tragicomic
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    David S Ware Quartet - Corridors and Parallels
  • uglymusicuglymusic

    The further out - and therefore more interesting, IMO - stuff is on Sylvian's own label, Samhadisound (sp?). He dropped (or was dropped by) Virgin (I think) and started releasing CDs initially for sale from his own Web site, although they're on Amazon and other places now.
  • JimJim
    What have you found?

    Vijay Ayer - Tragicomic

    God Man 2003.  I quite like it.  The music sounds a bit like mid nineties Waits - certainly got that feel to it.

    Camphor 2002.  Interesting in a new agey kind of way.  And mostly instrumental from what I've heard so far.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I haven't got either of those. I guess they must be next up for listening ;-)
  • JimJim
    Track 10 on Camphor is Upon This Earth.  Very moody piano piece, liking it a lot.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Makes you feel camphortable, does it? (I'll get me coat)
  • JimJim
    I've just noticed with Spotty that if you turn the volume down during an advert it pauses and waits till you turn it up.  Cheeky buggers.

    Not annoying enough to make me want to pay for it though :)
