I accidentally stumbled onto the chalet way up on Red Mountain in Aspen CO where Dave Brubeck and his group occasionally practiced and hung out. They were not there at the time, only the caretaker who let us listen to the stereo system. Six or seven racing Ducati’s in the garage. The stereo system was all tube Macintosh electronics, a tall rack of it, not the usual stuff, either. Ablaze with blue. At least 4 huge Macintosh speakers the size of refrigerators and some kind of monster mid range horn, maybe JBL. Brubeck’s concert grand piano was hooked up to a digital time delay system that my brother, demonstrated. There was a bunch of Joshua Light show stuff too that we activated with some Hendrix and Get Yer Ya Yas Out, almost too long ago to remember, back in 1970.
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.
Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.
Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.
