  1. I'm a bit late to respond but it was great to finally meet the Bob-father and Steve Iskalis and reconnect with Greg and Jenny, Lee and Deb, and Jim and Lerma. Hoping to meet up with Andrew in the near future. Here are a few more pix for y'all!
  2. Jazz at the Pawnshop is a live multi-session recording by Gert Palmcrantz made at Jazzpuben Stampen (Pawnshop) in Stockholm, Sweden on December 6–7, 1976. Proprius Records founder Jacob Boethius produced the album which is widely regarded by as the best jazz recording of the 20th Century. Arne Domnérus (alto sax, clarinet), Bengt Hallberg (piano), Lars Erstrand (vibes), Georg Riedel (bass), Egil Johansen (drums)
  3. Thanks for the system pix@mydogbart! Your gear doesn't have to be fancy to be effective. ENJOY THE MUSIC!
  4. This is another album that takes me back to my years in Nevada. It's the first of 2 albums (Bang and Miami) to feature future Deep Purple guitarist Tommy Bolin.
  5. I was living in a small cabin made with ties from the Las Vegas and Tonapah Railroad when this was released in 1975. The blue heron that nested on the pond behind the cabin would sit on the porch steps rocking it's head from side to side every time I played it.
  6. Admittedly, Tom Waits is an acquired taste. Of his many albums Small Change is my favorite because it takes me back to some of the shady strip clubs and brothels I visited during my time in Nevada. When asked about the relative success of the album Waits stated "I'd say there's probably more songs off that record that I continued to play on the road, and that endured. Some songs you may write and record but you never sing them again. Others you sing em every night and try and figure out what they mean. "Tom Traubert's Blues" was certainly one of those songs I continued to sing, and in fact, close my show with."
  7. JJ Cale, the musician's musician and one of the originators of the "Tusla Sound", has been covered by a wide range of artists from Dr. Hook to Widespread Panic. He was also a strong influence on Eric Clapton, Mark Knofler and Neil Young.
  8. My local progressive rock station (WXRT Chicago, 93.1 MHz) had a penchant for digging up jems. This 1989 King's X album was one of them.
  9. Original version of Chitlins con Carne from Kenny Burrell's 1963 album Midnight Blue (another LP recorded and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder). Features Burrell on guitar, Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone, Major Holley on bass, Bill English on drums and Ray Barretto on conga.

    Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying. Arthur C. Clarke
  11. Spread The Love by Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters (2010)
  12. I'm not a big fan of country music but this 1976 release by Atlanta Rhythm Section seamlessly blends in elements of rock and jazz.
  13. Moanin' is another classis jazz LP engineered by Rudy Van Gelder and recorded at his New Jersey studio (1958). The lineup is Art Blakey (drums), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Benny Golson (tenor sax), Bobby Timmons (piano) and Jymie Merritt (bass).
