The Ed Palermo Big Band's latest album - 'Eddy Loves Frank'. Great tribute album of Frank Zappa's work. He came to Baltimore a few years ago for a release party for his last album, 'Take Your Clothes Off...' (another Zappa tribute) and squeezed his +10 pc. band onto a very small stage at the Sonar yet still managed to put on a great show. The band plays almost exclusively in NYC and I highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance.

I also picked up a very nice promo copy of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Anything Goes' yesterday but I haven't had a chance to give it a spin yet.

Ok I learned a new lesson. If you see a record you really want and it is rare BUY IT. I went back to an antique mall to pick up a 78 set that I decided I should buy but didn't. It was a great bound soundtrack of the Hitchcock movie Spellbound. The soundtrack has lots of Theremin which I really like. You guessed it the 78s were gone [:'(] . Lesson learned.

You're right about that!

Ten Years After Live at the Filmore East (1970). Released in 2001.

One has to like long jam session rock n roll to enjoy this one. Stunning how great some bands were back then.

Alvin Lee is so fast on the guitar......

Hey Schu! I saw Robert Fripp and the League of Gentlemen twice here in NYC. Quite the contrast in styles, Fripp sitting stock still on a barstool playing these incredible runs on his Les Paul, while Sara Lee jumping around playing bass with her orange spiked hair. LOL Johnny Too Bad on Drums and the keyboard player from XTC completed the group. An interesting show needless to say. Thanks for the flashback. [:)]

German Music for Trombones, Triton Trombone Quartet, BIS-CD-644, German Music for Trombones:

TRITON TROMBONE QUARTET: German Trombone Music

Includes Heinrich Isaac's A la Bataglia --

. Note the smaller, higher-pitched alto trombone.

It also contains Schutz's fabulous Fili mi, Absalon. However, the following Youtube segment is not from the album, not played by Tritone, and has no video --

. Oh my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of thee.

Epica - The Classical Conspiracy (Seen these guys several times. This is an interesting melding of classical and heavy metal, though. This is a live performance, with a full symphony orchestra):

That's a drag about Demons and Wizards! IMHO, that was a great Uriah Heep album! I still have the original, bought when I was a teenager..remember cranking it over and over while rebuilding the transmission on my Yamaha 360 Enduro! Those were the days!
