What's Spinning

I love Lake Street Dive. You Go Down Smooth off of Bad Self Potraits is one of my all time favorite songs. They are an absolute blast live. If you dig Blossom Dearie, you should check out this album that features their lead singer:


I love LSD and Blossom, definitely going to check that out!

Pretty sure this is the bonus mix CD that is included with the LP set, but I haven't listened to it to verify...

 
The Original Dixieland Jazz Band - The London Recordings (World Records, 1974 UK pressing)

Recordings from the bands trip to London (via Liverpool) in 1919. Can't get more old school than this! The first in 'The New York Times Essential Library: Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings' chronological list.

The Beach Boys - Beach Boys' Party! (Capitol, 1965 first pressing)

I have a running joke with my girlfriend that I can always go to a carboot sale and walk away with a Beach Boys record I haven't already got. Even funnier is the fact that they managed to make one album stretch into countless others just by changing the track order and new jacket design. Those cheeky Beach Boys.

Clifford Brown And Max Roach - Study In Brown (Emarcy, 1955 First Canadian Mono Pressing)

Damn, Clifford Brown was just on another level of playing. This is a fantastic album to dip into if you are unfamiliar with Brown. He was one of the few 'straight' musicians of that era (no drug issues at all and, supposedly he didn't drink either) but unfortunately, that didn't prevent his early death at just 25 years old. He died in a car crash along with Richie Powell (pianist Bud Powell's brother) and Richies wife. I just read Hampton Hawes' book and he was actually supposed to be in the car as well but decided against it last minute.

Rosie Turton - Rosie's 5ive (Jazz Refreshed, 2019 first pressing)

Saw Rosie Turton live as the warm-up for Makaya McCraven earlier in the week and realized I haven't listened to this one for a while. I really enjoy the 5ive series, hope there's more in the pipeline.
