Comment:
77:18An All-Vinyl 'elements' edition that starts off slowly with a few solo piano numbers, then branches out into trios, quartets, big bands and a few Dixieland ditties to close out the mix. The 3 live numbers (Goodman, Hamp, & Satchmo) are spliced together to sound as if the same crowd. This was two-thirds ripped using albums from my father's old collection (kept in protective V.R.P. sleeves all these years), as well as a few off my own shelf. But it's all LP (wink: stereophonic!) from the first tink of the piano to the abrupt ending of `South'. The Hampton track alone is worth the download, and the Louis Armstrong number will make you smile...never mind the nostalgic snap, crackle & pop. Ah, vinyl!
(a tip o' the hat to Retro Joe, who made me remember my Harry James LP...sweet).
Feedback:
This looks very well put together. Benny Goodman/Lionel Hampton especially, but really every single track is a quite worthy selection.
Love this stuff!
Yeah, the classic stuff.
Great to see you back in the groove again, Gene. And happy to lap up the downloads. This looks great. Did a similar mix myself recently but I'm too tired/tipsy to include an html link!
Glad you're taking advantage of the bandwidth, Sam. Thought I`d bounce back with a quick array of genres (Ambient/Pop/Jazz). Most of these mixes came to fruition @ the end of the summer...then I just had to schedule some time in front of the burner. Next up is some faster paced `electronic music/techno' - great for burning off calories (stray beers, random decadent desserts, bags of Cheetos, pizza-fests, etc).
That is a lot of work ripping all this material from vinyl. Must have been late nights in the l@bs. And well worth it.
Fantastic, Gene.
Great choices! The Harry James version of Sweet Georgia Brown is particularly sweet (it is kind of short too by Jazz standards). Thanks for the work involved to share this with us all!
The gift of g.a.b. has gone all retro on us! Fab cover too. Now explain to me one more time what an LP is?
"Laser Precision"? "Lathe Production"? "' Loves' Perdido"?."l@bs Proprietor"?
Let's pause, looking precisely at likable play-lists, longingly, please.
Uhm... lupins, perchance?
