Funny enough this is my favourite Joni Mitchell album, every one else seems to hate it  :-?

The sound on Lp is stunning.

I love it too. Paprika Plains. . .okay I can take that or leave it. The rest, wow.

The one I think is most powerful is The Silky Veils of Ardor. Wow.

I like in the cover she was able to sneak in a naked female torso and a young fellow. Smiley

Right now I'm listening to

This RVG edition is sounding really good today. I know it's not really popular but I like the RVG edition cds. They sound different, they take a few chances, but they're an experience. Dexter is just chewing up the changes with Bud Powell and Kenny Clarke (and Pierre Michelot, won't forget him). Four masters all lubed up and swinging.

Dexter has me thinking of Lester Young a few times here, so I'll spin some Pres.

Ah yes, I tend to skip Paprika Plains, easy on vinyl as its a whole side of one of the two lp's .

Right now another one that might not be everyones cup of tea, cant help but imagine the album without the voices.

Can't argue with the cover though  8-)

I like that one a lot too. Great Duke Pearson arrangements and compositions on that one. Pearson really made a great contribution to the label as arranger, pianist, and A&R straw boss. Followed the footsteps of Ike Quebec quite admirably. His death was way too early and robbed us of a lot of great music that could have been.

Right now, you inspired me to pull out another great Blue Note date with voices.  I had this on scratchy vinyl for a long time, and the cd is a great one that I play now, and is really well expanded.

your mention, Lon, of Ike and the previous posting of Dexter made me put this one on:


I think Ike and Freddie Roach really shine on this one; though, as so often seems the case, the reviews seem to disagree with me.  :-?

I'm with you. That's a great one. I have it in a Japanese lp facsimile RVG version.

Right now
Absolutely incredible sax work, circular breathing beyond belief.

A little "loud" in the mastering but sounding pretty darned good overall. The first disc is a great collection of Prince.

No, but I have that album.

Once you get past the horrible recorded sound of the piano, quite good stuff.

Yes, it's likely your record.  I have cd and SACD versions and they sound fine. Nice fifties Van Gelder recording.

Just listening to this one a couple of times again today. Great comeback album, wonderful job done by Prince for Larry. Man oh man there is some amazing bass playing on this (Larry Graham and I think also some by Prince). A few tracks have two bass lines going and they just move you.

A man, a Guitar and a whole lot of talent.
Why is it that every time I hear someone that I really like, they end up dying young? SRV, Warren Zevon, Chris Whitley. I hope that this trend ends soon.

Really enjoyed this twice over three three days:




Wondering about Love Is the Thing, Nat King Cole Story, or Complete After Midnight Sessions
would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

Of those the one I like the most and listen to most often is the "Complete After Midnight Sessions." Excellent stuff. It's more "modern" and more stripped down production wise compared to the others. I really enjoy the featured soloists: violinist Stuff Smith, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, trombonist Juan Tizol, and alto saxophonist Willie Smith. And the drummer is exceptional, Lee Young, Lester Young's brother. That family (mom and dad and almost all siblings were musicians) had real beautiful music inside them.

The "Nat King Cole Story" is a pretty good collection. It's stereo remakes of his forties and fifties hit material. I actually prefer the original mono versions of these for the most part, but I love Nat and he's always worth hearing.

"Love is the Thing" was one of his first and maybe his biggest lp hits. It's a fully orchestrated "Nat the Singer" date. I confess his singing is always moving, but I reach more often for sessions where he was at the piano. I actually fell for Nat the pianist before I fell for Nat the singer, and I actually like his singing while swinging with his trio the best. Though there are some orchestral performances that are outstanding. For example his "Stardust" always makes me well up with a tear. . . when he sings "But. . that was long ago" . . . wow.

To be honest, my favorite are not on "albums" per se. About twenty years ago I bought a huge Mosaic Records box set, 18 cds, of all Nat's Trio work on Capitol. My favorite things are on there, and not necessarily ever on an album or cd since. I guess of what is out there I like the Complete After Midnight disc the best.
