Suppe' Overtures

That'll liven things up!

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
Paul Kantner/ Jefferson Starship - Blows Against the Empire

Love those albums. The first Starship album is always in rotation here.:)

Blows is definitely one of my favorites. Protest music at its finest. I was going to wonder out loud whether anyone did concept albums any more, but I realized that artists barely put out albums any more. It seems like most music is geared toward downloads of one song at a time. Dang. I'm getting old and crochety when it comes to music. :eek:

Speaking of protest music, I had to spin Steve Miller Band Number 5.

Industrial Military Complex Hex

Lord, I'm so tired of payin' all of these dues
From Sunday to Sunday all I hear is bad news
Tired of the war and those industrial fools
I've got to make it better cause I've got nothin' lose
Won't somebody help me cause I've gotten in my shoes
Those industrial military complex blues

It also includes "Never Kill Another Man" and "Jackson Kent Blues."

Regards,

D-Ray

Think I'll go dig out Volunteers by Jefferson Airplane.:D

Wings-Band on the Run 180 gram vinyl.

Bought this one still sealed from BigErik off of Bartertown.

Wonderful album.

John Mayall - Turning Point

You hear a lot about Kent State but I can't remember the last time I heard anyone mention Jackson State.

Listening to "Cahoots" by The Band.

John

It was considerably more egregious - if one can speak in degrees of opening fire on innocent students. A year or so ago, NPR did a good series commemorating both events.

Regards,

D-Ray

Yes, it was.

I'm sorry I missed that. I think I'll check their archive.

John

I found this about Jackson State from 2010.

The Cars Move Like This

A bit, I suppose. This album is a little too homogenized and over-produced.

I have another Nonesuch album of Bulgarian choral "folkish" music that I like better. It's "Music of Bulgaria" by the Soloists, Chorus and Orchestra of the Ensemble of the Bulgarian Republic. (Man, these Bulgarians love long fancy names for their performing groups.) Same conductor, Philippe Koutev, but the music is much rawer and has a more "authentic" feel.

Bulgarian music is really pretty unique. The people are nearly all ethnic Slavs but the country was overrun and controlled by the Tatars from Central Asia for a long time. Unlike Russia, which "threw off the Tatar Yoke", the Bulgarians just absorbed them so they end up being Slavs with many nuances of Tatar culture. Their music is an example of that melange.

Tchaikovsky---1812 Overture Deutsche Grammophon CD

I think of him, everytime this piece is played at the 4th of July fireworks. And, I can't help but wonder how many people in the crowd realize this music was written by a Russian homosexual and how so many of them would react if they knew.

Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue 1963
Hiliary Hahn J.S. Bach Patitas 1 & 2, Sonata 3
Gideon Kremer Mozart: The Complete Concertos 2009

Hot Tuna - Live at the New Orleans House. All acoustic. Good Stuff.

Common Ground-Walter Trout and no it ain't the soundtrack from "On Golden Pond." grumble-mumble;)

Wynton Marsalis - "Live at the House of Tribes"

Skull & Roses-The Greatful Bead:)

You know what the "Bead" called that one, doncha, Bob? ;)

John

Nice one from the most criticised man in jazz.

Well, I think he's sort of a jerk but he sure has some chops. Plus, his Lincoln Center gig earns him an immense salary so there's probably a lot of jealousy motivating that criticism.

Actually, I like Branford better, always have. Delfeayo plays a very good 'bone and Jason ain't bad on the drums. Hell of a family!

John

No but in my defense I'm stoned.:rolleyes:

"Skull F#@k"

Don't blame me! It was Garcia!
