Whats on your turntable tonight?

Kehut: I was just spinning Oscar Plays Cole this very morning, but on a German CD reissue. It really sounds extremely good -- not at all "digital" -- but I haven't done a direct comparison with the vinyl. (I have quite a few Peterson Verve LPs but don't recall offhand if this is one of them.)

Also today:

The Monochrome Set - Black & White Minstrels '75-'79 [Cherry Red]
Them Featuring Van Morrison [Decca]
William Boyce/The Eight Symphonies - Bournemouth Sinfonietta [CRD]

Paul Chambers' Bass On Top.

In a word, awesome.

Status Quo - Spare Parts
Outkast - Stankonia
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Shonen Knife - Brand New Knife
Go To Blazes - Love, Lust & Trouble
The New Colony Six - At The River's Edge

Roland Alexander - Pleasure Bent: Hard bop saxophonist contemporary of Coltrane with a sweet middle register and a good head for changes.
Antibalas - Who Is This America: Fela-flavored Afro-funk via Brooklyn. Great horn driven booty shakin' music.
John Mayall - Turning Point: Post-Mick, Post-Peter, Post-Eric Mayall, but really good! Mostly acoustic Blues with tasty sax work by John Almond. Surprising.
Lee Morgan - Cornbread: Seminal hard bop masterpiece. Ceora is one of the most beautiful and memorable songs of the era. Blend of Morgan, Jackie McLean, and Hank Mobley is sublime.
