[Poly-Rythmo]

#1461-1474

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou x 8
Lulus Band x 3
The Small Faces - Lazy Sunday / Itchycoo Park

Some of the absolute best songs ever made by Poly-Rythmo here, 3 crackers from Kenya, and two of my favourite singles from the 60s including surely the finest ever lyric containing the word "lumbago". A great evening of music. (Meant to post this last night but fell asleep...)

Charlie Parker - The Charlie Parker Collection (Deja Vu, 1984 First Compilation Pressing)

Went with a blind selection and ended up with this cheapo Charlie Parker compilation I picked up many moons ago. Not a bad collection of tracks really.

Michael Garrick Sextet - Promises (Argo, 1965 First Mono Pressing)

I have been on a deep dive of classic British jazz lately. It was a sub-genre that I completely missed for years but there is a wealth of incredible albums. Despite living in the UK, its still incredibly tricky to find original pressings and they often go for crazy money when they do pop up. Thank god for streaming!!

Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams

Last week I grabbed tickets to see Arlo Parks - first ticket purchase in a year and a half? Felt awesome, looking forward to this show.

Kendrick Lamar "DAMN"

This one's kind of wild. Snagged this one off of Reddit after I gave a quick listen to the Spotify stream and had to have it for the novelty. Just a bizarre and fun album of mostly-definitely-not-approved covers, an Elvis impersonation or 100, and a Beatles medley all packaged together. The Dean Reed story has occupied my mind for the past few days, it's a fascinating throw back. Red Elvis is a particularly appropriate nickname for him.

Dean Reed - Rock'n'Roll Country Romantic

Dizzy Reece & Tubby Hayes - Changing the Jazz at Buckingham Palace (Savoy, 1957 First Mono Pressing)

This was on my wantlist for ages until an affordable copy popped up last year. Super glad to have it, its a fantastic session!

Finally picked up one of my all-time favorites today

Son Volt - Trace

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers- Moanin’ (Blue Note Classics reissue)

Lots of complaints about the latest two releases in the Classics series and while my copy of Soul Station looks like a truck ran over it, Moanin’ looked pristine right out of the package and so far, sounds fantastic.

Today was my 40th birthday!



So I played one of my favorite records ever.



I mean, it's not like I am obsessed with it.

It's not like it was extremely important to me over time.

It's not like I am...ummm...

Nevermind.

On to one of the best live albums ever:

Jerry Lee Lewis - Live at the Star Club Hamburg

"Words cannot describe — cannot contain — the performance captured on Live at the Star Club, Hamburg, an album that contains the very essence of rock & roll...Live at the Star Club is extraordinary - the purest, hardest rock & roll ever committed to record...He sounds possessed, hitting the keys so hard it sounds like they'll break, and rocking harder than anybody had before or since. Compared to this, thrash metal sounds tame, the Stooges sound constrained, hardcore punk seems neutered, and the Sex Pistols sound like wimps." - Allmusic.com
