Erica Morini & Leon Pommers - An Italian Baroque Violin Recital (1965)

Erica (nee Erika) Morini was remarkable in many respects. She began her performing career as a child prodigy at age 12 and lived to age 95. Born in Austria, she wisely emigrated to the US in 1938 and performed into her mid-70's. Morini was believed to be the last surviving artist to record an acoustic disc for RCA Victor's Red Seal imprint. Shortly before Erica died her Stradivarius disappeared from her apartment, giving rise to a Willy Holtzman play "The Morini Strad".

Memorable quote: "A violinist is a violinist, and I am to be judged as one – not as a female musician." :heart:

Piano and saxophone. Can something be perfectly Zen and attention-grabbing?

 
Professor, what's the difference between electronic music and electronica?
I'm so glad you asked. First off, I'm not the professor.

I'm just a nose-picking student of music, like many.

I turned to quora for the answer.

 
The Trinity - Streetnoise (1969)


Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity - Streetnoise - album cover


Read an interview with keyboardist Brian Auger yesterday in The Guardian so checked this out
Nice melding of organ-based prog with some jazz elements and some psych-folk. Julie Driscoll's vocals are nice (a bit Grace Slick-ish)
Interesting, well done covers of "Light My Fire" and especially "Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In" from Hair
This. I agree with what Zeeba Neighba said about it.

Julie Driscoll's vocals remind me of Grace Slick (as mentioned by Dr. Z), Terry Garthwaite (Joy of Cooking) and Barbara Mauritz (Lamb). YMMV.

Highly recommended.
