What are you listening to right now? Vol. 66

Cahoots - The Band (1971)

samples

 

Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis (1960)

samples

 

Paul Desmond -- Take Ten (1963)

 

Early Music (Lachrymæ Antiquæ) - Kronos Quartet (1997)

samples

 

From the box set of Mahler symphonies conducted by Klaus Tennstedt, Symphony #6

I read not long ago that Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh listened to this while on acid shortly before forming the Dead. I can see a bad trip as a result, or at the very least, a relatively short, strange one.

 

Live - Chris & Meredith Thompson (2004)

samples

 

Aimee Mann -- Charmer (2012)

 

35. TNGHT - Tnght (2012)

So happy this was only an EP. This is becoming a chore at times to get through. I like a lot of what's dubbed "instrumental hip-hop," but this felt like a bunch of the same old tired tricks.

 

Blue Scholars -- Cinemetropolis (2011)

 

34. CHAIRLIFT - Something (2012)

Not sure if I'm going to revisit this one or not. A few tracks really grabbed me and I liked the woman's voice, but a huge chunk of it just sounded like generic synth-pop....and I love some synth-pop.

 

Ray Brown - Some of My Best Friends Are...The Trumpet Players (2000)

 

Johnny Horton: 16 Biggest Hits

 

Stephen Stills (1970)

 

The Rough Guide to Delta Blues

 

ACTRESS - R.I.P. (2012)

Here's another I knew nothing about going in, but found myself REALLY enjoying. Definitely going to pick this one up at some point.

Samples

 

Buck Owens -- Before You Go (1965)

 

Buck Owens -- You're For Me (1962)

 

Dale Watson -- People I've Known, Places I've Been (1999)​

 

I'm listening to Vitamin String Quartet on Pandora. Pretty funny and endearing at the same time.

 

I don't know this one. But it makes me think I might give these two a listen when I get home...



A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane, by the Turtle Island String Quartet.

And



Quartet San Francisco Plays (Dave) Brubeck. Both are pretty clever and interesting translations of jazz in to string quartet.

 

Thelonious Monk -- Solo Monk (1965)

 

Ellis Marsalis - Duke In Blue (1999)

 

Just finished:



Dwight Yoakam -- Population Me (2003)

Now:



Dwight Yoakam -- If There Was A Way (1990)
