I have been on a Lee Morgan bender all week. Recommend "The Cooker" and "Sonic Boom" also, as perhaps lesser known LM options. 

[MarkusBarkus]

Good call. Sounds sweet. Whip it good, @JoeWhip...

[MarkusBarkus]

...man, when "Lovin' You" came out in '74 or '75 it was like listening to an angel. I think only dogs could hear her upper register. Minnie Ripperton. 

[MarkusBarkus]

Album is freaky good...

(Marilyn's "Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes")

...oh, it's all essential. 😉 May I suggest a review of Laura Nyro's versions of many of these songs, wherein you may ask yourself: "My god, how did I get here."

Such a fantastic album. 

...not my usual fare, but that Zanny track is particularly amazing. Amazing. I had to rethink my subs because that track made them walk! Blew my mind...

[MarkusBarkus]

Nice find @kumakuma. I scored one on the double quick-quick!

[MarkusBarkus]

Not every track has Nancy singing, but it's a solid offering, as is the Cannonball Adderley album.

...Alison Moyet has a phenomenal voice, but IMO had an amazingly weak body of songs over the years. My opinion may be based on too narrow a perspective, but I heard of her...maybe in the 90s?...and followed so many dead ends, musically speaking. This is a very nice reminder to revisit that musical thread. Thanks @botrytis...

That type of sound isn’t to everyone’s liking but I just love the pure tone of the instruments and voices.

...I have only heard a couple such recordings, and it is really fascinating to me. They really are so very different from what you typically receive later in the processing chain. If more folks ever heard such recordings, the discussions about recreating at home what was in the studio would be very different. Keep digging out the gems for us, @JoeWhip!

Really fine work. Although I am embarrassed to say how long it took me to figure out the album title is not “All Is On R Us Sell”

...you are not alone, my hifi brother. 😉

...puzzles are good for aging minds. Kee p'em co ming...

[MarkusBarkus]

This is a very nice hall and a solid recording.

10 week old puppy is looking for the piano player. Funny. 

[MarkusBarkus]

...it's Tony Allen. Afrobeat Revolution. 

[MarkusBarkus]

...such an interesting and fun album.

[MarkusBarkus]

...I put his music on at night sometimes, and maybe 1 out of 100 times you can make it until the end. 

[MarkusBarkus]

...for Pee Wee. Take funk to heaven. RIP.
