Milt Jackson - Jazz ‘n’ Samba

Starting this LP and asking…”what’s all this about Samba, then, Milt?” is forgivable…because all of side 1 is the “Jazz”. The “Samba” kicks in with side 2 and you can’t blame Bags for wanting to cash in a little.

The liner notes are amusing: “…spoke of (samba) as ephemeral and predicted that overproduction would run it into the ground.”

RvG definitely turned the dials up to 11 when recording this one…maybe 12.

That full liner note graf:

“It is a curious and gratifying fact that although almost three years have elapased since Stan Getz decided to bring the jazz samba to North American audiences, the consequent commercial uproar did not turn out to be a nine-day wonder.” (Cont…)

There’s something bizarrely amusing about the iPad keyboard weighing much more than the iPad itself.

Yes - 90125 (Atlantic 75 Series)

Yes imploded/exploded quite a few times over the years, and when it broke into XYZ/Asia and this Trevor Horn-led version, 90125 came out with a new, very 80s-commercial sound.

You've definitely heard "Owner of a Lonely Heart”, which was mostly a Horn composition for a solo album. Kind of last-minute add-on Jon Anderson gave it (and the album) a more "Yes" feel.

New Atlantic 75 version sounds great.

@dpp I'm sure, years ago, but I don't remember it at all.

@dpp (I tred to find it on YouTube, and while there were a bunch of parodies in a collection, I couldn’t find that one…)

Here's a great interview with Steve Albini from 1993:

Charly Bliss - Guppy

Solidly in the power-pop with grungy guitars zone.

Lead singer Eva Hendricks has a very distinctive, did-I-accidentally-play-this-at-45RPM voice that suits the songs, but can take a bit of getting used to.

But once you do, lots of fun to be had.

When I think "Bernard Hill”, I immediately think of his great performance as Madgett in Peter Greenaway's rather delightful Drowning by Numbers.

RIP.

Haku pupdate.

Haku’s lymphoma was intially diagnosed in November of 2022. His initial remission ended this past January, and his restarted CHOP protocol failed shortly thereafter. His third, different treatment was ineffective, and, as of yesterday, we’re trying a fourth: Tanovea. It has a 40-50% chance of helping in stage IIIa, and we hope it’ll give him more happy days.

It’s clear, though, as we approach the end of this journey, that every additional good day is a gift, for him and us.

Khruangbin - A la Sala

Yes, yes, Khruangbin vibes, etc. Interesting interstitials that gives this an all-in-one-night throughline.

Continued groove and Malian-influenced guitar (along with many others) make this, well, what you'd expect. But also what'd you'd want.

(Still don't get why some call them psychedelic, though.)

Love the (hard to protect well) day-to-night package. Pressing pretty bit a bit noisy...

@scottearle I'm sure they've explained in an interview at some point. Sometimes people just like the sound of something… :-)
