Profile

I cannot rip vinyl or tape to computer files! Sorry!

Just another music fanatic with too many records and CDs. Mostly jazz, but not exclusively jazz. I maintain a list here called ‘Cheap Heat’ that you may find interesting or helpful. I discuss the LPs from the list on YouTube...

The music on this excellent jazz-rock album has very little in common with the music of Weather Report, mostly because it is harder-edged, lacks keyboards, and the very Mahavishnu-influenced guitar sound is front & center. To my ears, the music here... See full review

Smooth jazz / mellow fusion much like Bob James, Fourplay, David Sanborn, etc. Definitely not avant-garde, progressive or ‘out’ in any way. Lots of nice Rhodes piano, though.

posted a review of Sam Kulik - Escape From Society. about 1 year ago
The basic premise of Sam Kulik's Escape From Society was to make a modern-day song poem recording using Craigslist to attract would-be lyricists, instead of a cheesy printed advertisement. Those not immediately familiar with the whole song-poem... See full review

Yet another LP I picked up locally here in Santa Fe NM for a couple bucks circa 1998 -2002. Side 1 is orchestral music… lots of call-and-response between a soloist (oud, clarinet, accordion, electric guitar, saxophone, Harmon muted trumpet - it varies... See full review

Pretty bizarre release on a tax scam label. Musically this consists of saxophone & keyboard duets with strange male vocals. The keys are either acoustic or vintage analog Rhodes, Clavinet, etc., which fits in with the Lp’s late ‘70s recording date.... See full review

Really solid all-original jazz jammer featuring excellent guitar, flute / tenor saxophone, and Rhodes piano solos. There are some spacy electronic effects, but no synth. Also… no bass - this imparts a distinctive ‘floaty’ feeling to the music. The... See full review

Outstanding modern jazz LP from the late 1980s that’s completely free of cheesy keyboard sounds (all acoustic piano!). Jazz Haus Musik is a label that reliably produces top-notch recordings, and this LP is no exception. Easily as good as anything on... See full review

Hughie Flint (or some other uncredited drummer) plays on nearly every track on this LP. The liners say differently, but there are only one or 2 tracks without drums.
