I am not down with Fairport. I'm not really into traditional folk harmonies unfortunately.
This being said, I'm really enjoying the first Steeleye Span album and I regret putting it on ebay. It's the second pressing, so hopefully it won't sell. Grippers remorse.
Gentle is whatever you want it to be. In fact, I'm almost curious to see what other people think is gentle. If new jacks are posting Donald Byrd street lady as gentle then I know a lot more about them than they think.
Bambouche, I agree about Sybil. I got the CD issue and it sounds nice, I'm not so sure about the vinyl. Who found her or produced those tapes? Father? Boyfriend? Son? Brother? I will look for that Eric Dolphy.

Hey,
I'm definitely down with the gentle stuff, although I'm not a newbie. Here goes (not all of which are jazz):
-"Sleeping Gypsy" and "The Art of Tea"-Michael Franks. -"Realization"-Johnny Rivers. -"S/T"-Archie Shepp. -"Travelin' Light" and "I Remember Miles"-Shirley Horne. -"Warm Breezes"-Cal Tjader. -"Soft Samba Strings"-Gary McFarland. -"Perfect Angel"-Minnie Riperton. -"Mudboy Slim"-James Taylor. -"Hissing of Summer Lawns", "Blue", and "Court and Spark"-Joni Mitchell. -"No Secrets"-Carly Simon. -"Vision of a New World"-Lonnie Liston Smith & the Cosmic Echoes (sort of). -"S/T"-John Coltrane and Johnny Hartmann. -"S/T"-Ahmad Jamal. -"Shadow of Your Smile"-Astrud Gilberto.
I'[ve been listening to Fairport lately, but have been more into the solo Sandy Denny stuff, good call A****.
As far as Fairport Convention is concerned, I like the songs that feature her vocals more. I'll check out her solo material.
I was going to mention that s/t Ahmad Jamal, as well, Stacks. That's one of my favorite piano trio albums.

Gordon Lightfoot is the fucking dude.
Whattup Big Stacks.
What's up, Catdaddy? Man, I was just up in your area (well Midtown) last week. I tried to get at you!!! I'm rollin' through Illadelph for a conference at the beginning of August. Please PM some rackord spot suggestions.
What is bolasete? Solo brazillian jazz guitar? Sounds wonderful.
He did a ton of records with mustached snoopy dude on Fantasy, but this one is on Takoma and is solo guitar - but jazzy. It is mellow and introspective in a similar way as that Abdul Wadud... or at least that's how I remember it being. From what I've read, Fahey totally worshiped the guy.

I had no idea this record was on takoma. knowing john fahey was heavy into bola sete makes so much sense.

What's the One to get?
Don Quioxte (sp?)
This is a really good gentle jazz LP.
I found this to be a soft, smooth, and gentle record.
If I still smoked the cheeb, I would kick it at night playing solitare, puffing a j, and playing this record front to back.
Gentle Headz Know The Deal???
whats a good service to provide clips on boards and such?
I find julie london very soothing

It should be really cheap online, I'd think.
I am absolutely positive I passed this record up before.
ummm, fuck yes. this is a come down classic
Yeah, I guess the closest I get is Getz/Gilberto. I'm a very lil' dude on the gentle tip.
But was it the RAER version?
haha the Kapp logo was a nice touch
