New music, or a fresh interpretation of an old classic, is what keeps a music lover's life interesting. What three releases have been in heavy rotation for you recently?
COMMENTS
MCCOY TYNER: Jazz Roots (saw him and his trio give a wonderful performance in Cambridge, MA recently); STAN GETZ/JOAO GILBERTO: Getz/Gilberto (such a wonderful sounding recording: The combination of the Gilbertos, Jobim, and Getz creates such a relaxing and intriguing environment); DON BYRON: Bug Music (I love this thing -- I've had it for over a year and cannot get enough).
The new album, "Relationship of Command," by the rock band, AT THE DRIVE-IN, is completely amazing. Along with a band called the multi-purpose solution, they are the only new rock band I like. Then there's MERLE HAGGARD's "If I Could Only Fly," and NEIL YOUNG's "After The Goldrush" -- both wonderful albums.
CAROLE CERASI: C.P.E. Bach: Six Keyboard Sonatas for Harpsichord and Fortepiano (Metronome MET CD 1032): R.L. BURNSIDE: Too Bad Jim (Fat Possum Records 80307-1); JOE BYRD AND THE FIELD HIPPIES: The American Metaphysical Circus (Columbia MS 7317).
Hey, you guys should watch High Fidelity and then ask us for our Top Five list! MILES DAVIS: Kind of Blue -- it's been on my top five rotation list for years; BOB DYLAN & THE HAWKS: Live in Manchester, 17 May 1966; THE SOFT BOYS: Can of Bees.
1.Little Feat,"Waiting for Columbus" 2.Miles Davis,"Kind of Blue" 3.MJQ,"Last Concert" Not necessarilly in that order,but they work for me.If I can save a few bucks to upgrade,these would be the first three to go through the system to evaluate the new component.
I'm always switching out, but here are three that I repeatedly put back in... 1.Sting-Brand New Day 2.Speakeasy-Frumunda 3.Miles Davis-Miles Smiles The second is a local band from my college town. The quality is poor, but it is still good music!
If, in fact, there was to be a rotation of the disks, then all disks must be heard in acordence with the statutes laid out in the Listening Guidelines portion of the Greater Rules of Musical Enjoyment. Oversight of these statutes is the sole responsibility of the of the commissioner of the sweet spot, in acordence with the Greater Rules of Listening Enjoyment section, 120v article 60, subsection hz. All works brought to the attention of the court shall be judged in a timely manner by the duly-appointed Audio Magistrate, whose decision will be final. No other governing body has the authority to reverse the decision. Any disc deemed "unfit" or "unworthy" by the magistrate shall be expelled from the court, to return only with the express permission of the magistrate for retrial. Any works deemed "exceptional" or "good" shall be granted permission to remain in the court's posession for periodic retrial. Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla.
