Bless Its Pointed Little Head
|
RCA | Vinyl | The Airplane were not a "good vibes" band like the Dead. They were also capable of rocking as hard as any Sixties band from Detroit, as one quickly learns by the completion of "3/5's Of A Mile In 10 Seconds" & "Somebody To Love," but can still make the hookah bubble on Donovan's "Fat Angel." | |||

| Schulhoff, Erwin | Jazz Etudes (1926)Charleston, Blues, Chanson, Tango, Toccata sur le Shimmy "Kitten on the Keys." (Listen: Real) | Gideon Kremer Edition Lockenhaus Vo. 4/5 | ECM | CD |
James Tocco, Piano. Schulhoff, a Czech-German, Communist with Soviet citizenship died in a Nazi camp. Generally, hip European composers between the World Wars had a much better inside understanding of jazz than American composers of that era. Zev Confrey, the American composer of "Kitten on the Keys," dug it deeper than Gershwin. |

| Scenic | Ionia (Listen: Real) | Acquatica | CD | Sloppy engineering on my part miscued into a another Scenic cut, wrecking the set's groove. Oh well. | ||||
| Umeki, Miyoshi | Teach Me Tonight (Listen: Real) | Miyoshi Sings for Arthur Godfrey, American songs in Japanese |
 |
Vinyl | 1950's nipponotica, the porcelain doll courtesan, the repackaging of Japan as a quaint, harmless culture only a decade after they were kamikazing our carriers. Still, this is one one of my most treasured Lps. For a Japanese collector's take, Click Here | |||
| Joe Simon | In My Baby's Arms (Listen: Real) | Get Down | Spring | Vinyl |
A coupla years ago a young DJ at the station said my taste in funk & soul was "stuck in the Seventies." I think it was supposed to be a put-down. On the other hand, DJs Monica & $mall Change dig the stuff I select. So who should I believe? |
