THE MUSIC CLASSIC INFO

Figured since we're on that tip already, might as well keep it going. These LP's are great... The series features tons of great Composers like Bruno Nicolai, to Ennio Morricone himself. Great, dark, soundtracky vibes, and pure mood music. Gathered these few from tons of different sources wink-wink so enjoy them. Back soon. Peace!

I been laggin', I know! These are some tracks that a very close friend of mine put together for me a while ago, and I thought everyone out there deserved to get there hands on them. It's geared more towards that dark, soundtracky-vibe, but still very sick in terms of musical composition. Enjoy, and I'll be back soon... I promise...

Here another one for you guys... Sorry, hella busy week. Great album, though. Recorded in Paris, sometime in '76. My man "Ra" gets raw all over the Rocksichord... This cat is from another planet, for sure.

Don't hate on me, but this one is a repress.
Came out in '65, but it's one helluva record. It's Free Jazz-a-plenty, with some of that outer space aspect that Sun Ra was definately into in the preceding years. Don't know where this falls as far as his discography is concerned, but is really an all around great album. Don't turn it off just 'cause it's a little wierd... Peace!

One of the best Jazz albums ever made...

"One of the greatest solo albums ever issued by Latin jazz trumpeter Luis Gasca -- a set that really expands on his debut for Atlantic Records, and which brings in a whole host of early 70s west coast Latin influences! The style here is very laidback and open, but a fair bit more jazz oriented overall, with long solos from both Gasca on trumpet and Joe Henderson on tenor sax, set up in a half-electric set of rhythms laid out on guitar, organ, keyboards, bass, and plenty of percussion! Other players here are all top-shelf too -- and include Carlos Santana, George Cables, Stanley Clarke, Coke Escovedo, and Lenny White." - Dusty Groove America.
Don't know where I found this link but thanx. Enjoy!

"This album can be understood as Byrd\'s
formidable response to the musical challenges set down by trumpet-rival Miles Davis with his epic Bitches Brew. An album often lumped in with Donald Byrd's more artistically barren work of the 1970s, Electric Byrd is a misunderstood masterpiece that should be investigated." - By John Ballon, AllAboutJazz.com

Investigated, it should be. Given a fair listen to, it should be as well. But masterpiece, I'd have to disagree. A step in the right direction, but as you can plainly hear, almost a copy-cat album, more an experimentation. Just my opinion, but I'll be listing a few of his heavy outings in the next few days. Stay tuned, and decide for yourself. Peace!

"A landmark album by Donald Byrd, a soaring futuristic jazz funk bringing Byrd's career to a whole new level, blending together tight funky rhythms, spacey keyboards, and soulful vocals. Donald's best solo work of the 70's, despite what popular opinion has to say... And yes! Those are real hookers on the cover."
