Weekend was good
I have been gobbling up 'soul jazz' records. That's my sound... pre-funk and grooving. Music for riding scooters, swinging, and ascots.
Top to bottom:
Lighthouse '69 -
Chico Hamilton Quintet - we talked about this in the Discogs thread. There is something about this one. It is the first thing i put on this morning. A quiet way to wake up. The cover is deceptive, makes it look like you are in for a swinging good time when in fact this is a mellow, contemplative record with a damn cello. Check out 'The Sage' (its on spotify). If you like that then this record is for you.
Normon Connors - Dark of Light - Herbie Hancock on the keys. Laughter is a funky track. It's on the fusion side but still good.
Viva Tirado - If you see it, get it. The guy ringing me up said "banger" when he saw it and it made me laugh.
Chico Hamilton Greatest Hits - Hard to believe this is the same guy as the yellow record. His cape phase is his best for soul jazz. For Mods Only, Big Noise From Winnetka, El Moors, and A Trip are all solid, so I figured if I saw this in town I would pick it up. 2 whole records of cape era chico is not a bad deal. The ONLY song it doesn't have that I want is El Conquistadores. Oh well.
Soul Sax - It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's got a half assed drum break in there. This is one of those records that when i checked it out on discogs i though "i want this". and then when i saw it in the shop i grabbed it, then got home and couldn't remember what excited me about it.
Soulful Strings - It was a dollar, and Listen Here is an uptempo soul jazz banger if you ask me. Definitely worth a buck.
Mission Impossible. I probably shouldn't have paid 8 dollars for this but it was super clean. Jim On The Move was used for The Wiseguys 'Ooh-la-la', which is a song i have always liked, and so as the song moves forward you heard the sample getting closer and closer and then it hits, which all sounds corny but the song is cool anyways, that just makes it fun to listen to. Shut up.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk - The Case of the 3 sided dream in audio color - Freaks For the Festival is the reason I picked this up as it was on one of my spotify playlists, but I always assumed it was some rare, expensive record. This was only five bucks, so yay. -
