I'll never forget the first time a friend played a Roy Buchanan album for me - what a talent.
Possibly the greatest electric blues guitarist ever.
A good one.

This album was the end of an era for Coltrane and his fabulous quartet. A few live albums of this group were released afterwards that were hit and miss. The live albums previous to the one above are great, however, imo. Then he changed personnel and traded form for freedom. I've read Miles Davis' autobiography but haven't read any books about Coltrane. There propably are several on Amazon or someplace, but I wouldn't venture to buy one without a recommendation. I wonder if Stanley Crouch ever wrote about the man in length. That, I would buy and will check. Anything else? Anybody?

Oh, and I've seen his quartet with Tyner, Garrison, and Jones live several times in SF. Once, I was seated so close I could have reached out and touched the bell of his horn. At The Jazz Workshop. Good times.

Try ambient Eno

I could always play Music For Airports at 45 RPM and see how that goes over.

Arrived today. Very quiet vinyl. Not as good a recording as I was hoping for, but still pretty good.

Pretty long listening session last night.

Mario Millo - Epic III

Beautiful progressive music by this great Australian guitarist. For fans of YES and Camel.

Banco - Di Terra

Possibly the best example of (progressive) rock with orchestra. It was composed from the ground up as an integrated piece, not just an orchestra playing along with a rock band. Musically it is in the 20th century school, not romantic or classical periods.

Alan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue

No one is better than Mr. Holdsworth.

IQ - Nomzamo

Not their best, but the 3 good songs on it are REAL good.

The Fents - First Offense

Great fusion by this LA band. The played all over town in the 80's. Led by keyboardist Adam Holtzman (later to play with Miles Davis) and Guitarist Ted Hall, these guys could play. And they had a great musical sense of humor.

45 RPM 180g pressed at pallas, mastered by Bernie Grundman. This is a terrific pressing. Incredible detail and sound. The background is dead quiet -- no surface noise detectable. I've played the 33.33 hundreds of times and it has never sounded this good. Well worth the $50 IMO.

I went to sleep with Water Song playing on the radio and woke up with Keep On Truckin' in my head so...

Spirit ~ Eventide

Gathering B-sides, outtakes and rarities from Spirit’s prolific archives, Eventide spotlights recordings made from 1968 to 1970. It includes previously unreleased selections from the band’s soundtrack for the film Model Shop, French director Jacques Demy’s eclectic 1968 cinema offering. Elsewhere, the lurching guitar cruncher “Green Gorilla” (also used in Model Shop) and the jangly fuzzbomb “Rougher Road” rock the listener relentlessly, bearing full witness to the band’s mighty prowess. The mood lightens with the wistful “Corral,” only to dive back into wah-wah wildness on “Fuller Brush Man.” Blues rocker “Sweet Stella Baby” shifts the focus to the band’s intricate harmonies. The album closes with two rare Spirit radio spots that serve as aural time capsules, opening minute-long windows into that rich musical decade.
