What Jazz or Blues are you spinning?

Prompted by Adrian, I played:

Shakti (with John McLaughlin) - 'Natural Elements'


Vinyl

As I found before, it's pleasant enough, but again I found I wasn't really listening to it with much intent. I think the problem is I don't really like jazz guitar (apart from Charlie Bird and Charlie Christian).

And since they are filed close together:

Lalo Schifrin - '– The Dissection And Reconstruction Of Music From The Past As Performed By The Inmates Of Lalo Schifrin's Demented Ensemble As A Tribute To The Memory Of The Marquis De Sade'


Vinyl

Arguably it could be accused of being 'easy listening', but is more akin to Jazz and better composed as you would expect from a writer of film scores.

Ah, maybe wrongly I presume you are not a guitar player. JM has not just done fusion, have a listen to the John McLaughlin Trio live at the Albert Hall.

I think you mean 'Live at the Festival Hall'. Yes I have heard it.

I agree that it is not all 'fusion' (thank goodness), as witnessed by his 'Thieves and Poets', but again that left me cold.

Sorry yes ‘Festival Hall’ is what I meant. Well we all like different things and that includes music, which is just as well for musicians or it could be all be a the same. As long as we each enjoy what we listen to that’s all that matters really. Cheers

Well I had noticed that this was regularly on Grants air-waves and it piqued my interest knowing he is a bit of Blues aficionado. Without any sneak listens online I took the plunge and ordered a copy all the way from Australia, and it was reasonably priced including post. Unfortunately the 1st copy arrived looking like a banana, I suspect sat in the sun waiting for a plane, so I sent pics and they apologised and immediately sent another, I think it actually may have come from the artist office looking at the receipt.

So how is it? It is quite a treat! Recorded live in 2 days using just using 2 mics and a two track Ampex 351 tape machine, no overdubbing, with the band positioned around them to get the right mix and levels. It really is not what I expected from an Australian blues singer and guitarist, the way he plays, sings and presents the songs invoke the feeling of a much older blues singer, it really feels your being transported back to an classic 30's/40's blues experience, or earlier on some of the songs even though on this album he is using his Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar. Some songs have a rock n' roll feel but are still very bluesy. A brilliant album IMO.

Has anyone ever successfully cured a warped record? I'm thinking that if the disc was laid flat under a sheet of glass and left in the sun for a couple of minutes it may just work. I have a pretty warped copy of "Axis Bold as Love" which I may try to 'fix'.

[struth]

if its badly warped its unlikely to be fixed.. gentle warps can be tho. yoi have to be careful with temp and time tho. there are companies that do it, but its not perfect and not cheap

[Pigmy Pony]

The warp is not severe, so I'll risk it for a biscuit and report back. Just need the sun to return, but probably an early morning thing.
