Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

Hi @MéloManiac

 

 

Here's what you can afford before you go home (get well soon man)  👍

 

If you want to discover Jazz, with a wonderful book "Jazz from John Fordham", that will make you discover chronologically the history, the instruments, the musicians and the records. You can choose essential Jazz records according to a musician, an era, a style, which is great for a beginner and the others! 


Once you have chosen the disc(s) you want to buy, you can search with discogs if there are modern reissues and/or if you want to buy a used version!

 

I don't know if you are French-speaking : there is a French version, but I don't know if there are Dutch or German versions

Theae albums that were put together starting in the early '70s by the NGDB helped spawn an awakening for for real country/bluegrass music. I was fortunate to have already been turned on to Doc Watson after I got my first Martin guitar during high school in the mid 1960s. (I did fail to appreciate a lot of rock music, though).

 

Always nice to revisit some great tunes and musicianship.

Good evening/morning friends!  I could not leave you all out.  No vinyl at the moment, but listening with friends over in RTM to the Saturday night LIVE concert stream of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from the Symphony Hall over WCRB Boston.  This is the usual activity on Saturday evenings.

 

Here is the 'vibe' photo from the Music Hall with my Yukon Jack in the Waterford crystal tumbler :). Tubes and Horns tonight. 

 

I will try to post more vinyl soon.  But back in the studio tomorrow for a quick keyboard track.  Have a good vinyl listening session everyone, see you in a bit.IMG-2688.jpg

Hello, I was lucky enough to get that one a couple years ago! A lot of the other NGDB records were not in great shape but that one was. With all the other performers on it, and my exposure to country and bluegrass at an early age I'm glad that I've got it too!

I'm listening to Charles Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.

It is extremely impressive! Mingus is first and foremost a composer, and man, there is just one name that comes to mind that is close to what he does, and it is Leonard Bernstein (with West Side Story), but Mingus is much more personal and extravagant (avantgarde /  non-commercial). Most of you will know Ah Um, which is a collection of great, separate songs. The black saint and the Sinner Lady is a jazz opera, nothing less...

This page reads like a fairy tale!

 

Long, long have I bewailed the sev'rance of our loves,
With tears that from my lids streamed down like burning rain
And vowed that, if the days deign reunite us two,
My lips should never speak of severance again:
Joy hath o'erwhelmed me so that,
for the very stress Of that which gladdens me to weeping I am fain.
Tears are become to you a habit, O my eyes,
So that ye weep as well for gladness as for pain.

 

 

 

 

A 'bluesy' 14th century poem from One Thousand and One Nights
