No, but when anyone said the word "egg", I ran around imitating a chicken.

I commend your pluckishness.

Louis Armstrong - The Real Ambassadors (1962)

Dave Brubeck and his wife, Iola, came up with the idea of a jazz musical based on their experiences with State Department world tours. It was performed at the 1962 Newport Jazz Festival and revived 40 years later. The music is pretty forgettable but this album is still a fascinating period piece, name checking everything from the Cold War to the Greek student riots to the birth of Ghana.

Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's (1982)

That one is pretty good, but I like Tales From Topographic Oceans better.

Stunning.

That one is pretty good, but I like Tales From Topographic Oceans better.

Butter is pretty good, but I like shallots better.

One is not like the other, Sam.

How is this release?

I like it. It's better than the RYM rating.

 

[axolotl]

I like it. It's better than the RYM rating.

Nobody can compel you, but you could rate it on RYM.

I will listen to it.

Connie Smith - Miss Smith Goes To Nashville (1966)

Vinyl Spin of the Day.

My copy came from the library of radio station KONI in beautiful Spanish Fork, Utah (pop. 42,602). Back in 1966 it was a daytimer, spinning fine country music like this from dawn to dusk.

Often, when I don't want to listen to an album or even a specific genre but I don't want to go through the trouble of choosing a new song after each one, I do a search on my music player for certain words. The last couple of days I've listened to music this way searching on "Falling" and "Affair". Just finished "find". Included on the Find list were ...

"Find My Way" - Cameo - 1977

Barbara Carroll - Piano Panorama (Atlantic 10" LP 1952)

A great candidate for the Album Cover Art Gallery contains some equally adventurous piano trio material.
