Shakti with John McLaughlin. Columbia 1976
Recorded live at South Hampton College
Vikki Carr-For Once In My Life Side 2 Foghat-Live Side 2 Johnnie Taylor-Eargasm Side 1 Jody Miller-He’s So Fine Side 1 Jean-Luc Ponty-A Taste For Passion Side 2 George Shearing-The Fool On The Hill Side 2 Marian McPartland-From This Moment On(CJ-86) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Chicago-At Carnegie Hall Side 7 Nothing sounded below average tonight despite only McPartland having Audiophile SQ tonight. If I was forced to say which recording was 2nd best I would give the nod to Jody Miller. An interesting bit of trivia Johnny Taylor-Disco Lady was the 1st single to be certified platinum(2 million copies) an unlikely feat considering the heavy hitters in the 70’s. Chicago at Carnegie Hall was a M- garage sale find for me so very little risk. The SQ is not as poor as some have mentioned. The live recording in Japan is touted as better performance/SQ but I have only heard on Youtube. |
