What Are You Listening To?

Funny.  I listen to this album all the time, precisely for the nearly 12 minute version of Got to Give it Up.

I consider that a great deep cut…its just not been overplayed to death… and the long ass version just kicks ass…love it..its a shame Marvin couldn't cut an entire album like that…I guess he was already in hell by then…

I have a David Ritz biography of Marvin I got to get to…. Ritz of course got a co-write credit on Sexual Healing after Marvin died and after suing…

post-elektra blue thumb stuff on vinyl w/nice gatefold

most overrated band ever…

I'll give you that, but "Forever Changes" is unimpeachable.

I dunno about that….I guess it is….enough people say it is..

anyways,

I just finished listening to

Jorge Ben
Africa Brasil (Japanese LP)

before that

Ween Quebec
Ween The Mollusk


I love listening to Ween with my kids……and they love Ween too.

I just cried at that moment, with weEn,  you just shared, there hutch.

War "The Cisco Kid"


On a huge Funk binge last couple of days. I want a bass guitar.

miles - big fun sides 1 & 2 tonight, 3 & 4 tomorrow.
it took me a looong time to get into this era, but now it's all I listen to, other than the gil evans stuff.

some of that Gil Evans stuff is so horrible.. like Sketches of Spain..good lord..probably my least favorite stuff…hard to consider it jazz..

my favorite Miles is probably about 1958… the great sextet with both Cannonball and Coltrane…before, during and immediately after Kind of Blue…..also that record that was credited to Cannonball but is really more a Miles effort imho "Somethin' Else"…

of course there is a ton of great Miles.. I also like the 1964 My Funny Valentine concert (with George Coleman who is underrated [he's also on Herbie's Maiden Voyage which is fabulous and very modal Miles sounding])

I was spinning some early rock and roll 45 earlier and we're now listening to Willie Nelson's American Classic which has a connection to Miles as Miles loved Willie ….they're both masters of behind the beat voicing (playing/singing)…

exactly.. and what is notable is that he wrote that tune way before Willie Nelson became popular…

He liked Willie Nelson back when Willie was recording for RCA when he was known primarily as a songwriter…way before the Red Headed Stranger album broke him… by that point he'd passed from RCA, been dropped by Atlantic, and moved to Columbia…

I miss you, jaguar.
