Album of the Evening

[AudioDoctor]

I think I have been subconsciously motivated by the Computer Audiophile himself to play this album...

Such a great album from actress Maya Rudolph’s mom, Minnie Riperton.

Little story:

 

My best friend in law school was a tall blonde blue-eyed woman who liked to go to concerts and stand in the front row with a camera and a flower in her hair. She got noticed by band members a lot, including Boz Burrell of Bad Company. They became acquainted. So when one of Boz's friends had a matter in America he needed to take care of, Boz arranged for him to stay part of the time as a guest in my friend's apartment.

 

Boz's friend was Mitch Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix's drummer. I spent a lovely afternoon at my friend's apartment chatting with him. Quietest, nicest guy you would ever want to meet.

Wow, fun coincidence. I saw a chamber music performance tonight. Gilbert Kalish gave the pre-concert talk :)

 

I'll give it a listen!

Audacious. Inevitable. And actually quite enjoyable. West End Blues, however, is notable by its absence. Even Wynton won't go there, I guess.

I had the same thought then I read the track list lol

 

Strangely enough the announcement for the 2006 live event from which these recordings originate mentions West End Blues:

Ah yes! Back in 72 indeed. A vintage year for great rock music releases. Here are my 10 personal favorites sorted by their impact as I perceive them to be. If you disagree, that's fine. Be gentle. I'm only trying to promote further discussion about music rather than technology.

1. Neil Young\Harvest
2. Steely Dan\Can't Buy A Thrill
3. Stevie Wonder\Talking Book
4. David Bowie\The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders Of Mars
5. Wishbone Ash\Argus
6. Jethro Tull\Thick As a Brick
7. The Rolling Stones\Exile on Main Street
8. Jerry Garcia\Garcia
9. The Band\Rock of Ages
10. Jackson Browne\Saturate Before Using

Agreed on excellent choices. And I completely agree with Harvest at number one. I would also have to add Cat Stevens "Catch Bull At 4" to a best of 72 list.

Damn, that’s quite a list.

 

I was just at my nephew’s wedding, and thinking in 50 years maybe he and his friends will make a “best of” list of all the hip-hop they played and danced to.

 

But he went to the classics for the wedding itself: A string trio played “Thunder Road” for the processional and “Born to Run” for the recessional. 🙂
