THE MUSIC CLASSIC INFO

Let's close out 2007 with something that's well worth a listen to as the clock ticks down to a new year. Stumbled across this last night over at our good neighbors spot: Turbo City. Don't know if it's an offical release, but it does contain some rare versions of tracks that I don't even have. Get it while you can. Happy New Year! Peace!

Spent Christmas morning with the family, then had to head out to my mom's about noon. After we passed out the gifts, I remembered that she had quite the vinyl collection back in the day; I only remembered that because I always had to help lug them around every time we moved. Anyways, I happened to find a lot of things that you wouldn't think to find in a crate full of old records owned by a 61 year old divorcee/widow from the state of Texas. After spending some time delving through the remnants of her collection, I only came to one final conclusion: mama's got soul... Okay, so this is a nice one, and except for a few unrepairable nicks & scratches through-out, it plays pretty damn good. Bernard Purdie drums, Hubert Laws flute, Luis Gasca trumpet, and Mongo on percussions; need I say more!?! Enjoy this. I know I did. Back soon. Peace!

I fell in love with this album cover the 1st time I laid eyes on it, and have been looking for it ever since. Found it on Vinyl, although it is a repress, but still beats the hell outta spending mad cash for the import CD. Anyways, if you love Bluesy, smooth, Jazz-funk by Grant Green, then this is your album. If you love emotion evoking soundtrack music in Quincy Jones vain, then this is your album. Grab it up. Back soon. Peace!

A very nice record, and very infamous to all you beatheads out there. And wouldn't you know, I found it, over at what seems to me like the holy grail for all you "Jazz Fusion" lovers out there: My Jazz World. He's got some great stuff out there; think I spent at least four hours canibalizing his collection. Pay him a visit... And a donation. Back soon. Peace!

I have to admit, I have always ignored this gentleman... Ron Carter, Bennie Maupin, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw; need I say more? I guess when this was originally released, folks had a hard time wrapping their heads around the mixture of music & vocals; I can't understand why. This shit's hot! Thanks to "Sunny Side of the Street" for bringing this one to light for all of us. Laters.

It's definately Christmas, and the man over at Hip Hop Is Read is definately playing Santa, let me tell you. Love me some "Wu-Tang" samples, and you should too! Enjoy this, everyone. Peace!

Hip Hop Is Read; you gotta love this guy. If you know me, then you know that I can't seem to get enough of those damn "Wu-Tang" sample albums... Contains some really outstanding joints on it... I'd love to get me hands on RZA's iPod. Anyways. Enough this... I know I am. Peace!

Because the original link is long gone... Hope everyone is having a good holiday; doing my best to enjoy mine. Be back soon with some all new stuff for all y'all. Take care as the new year rolls around. Later.
