O - I think what you hear from The Antisocial Club makes sense given Pasqua's time with Tony Williams and TW's time with Miles before that.  Continuity, sort of.  I'll make a prelim guess and then try to confirm in the next couple of days but it w...

O - Did you get all the way through Invisible Cinema?  I'm thinking there's plenty of drama all through it starting with Track 3.  Check out Track 6 "Karma", for example.  More elsewhere too if by "drama" you mean a sort of tension that builds thr...

If you do the slow and tedious copy and paste of the you tube link into a new browser window does that work? or not even then??  I use a Mac Air and didn’t open Frogman’s Abbey Lincoln stuff. The Alan Pasqua link Rok re-sent works fine for me righ...

I expect everyone already knows about the recent death of Rudy Van Gelder at 91 years of age. Here is a link to the NY Times piece on him.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/26/arts/music/rudy-van-gelder-audio-engineer-who-helped-define-sound-of-jazz-...

A PS for O...For something that’s a bracing counter to Invisible Cinema, check out Alan Pasqua’s "The Antisocial Club". I only learned recently that AP had played in the 2nd version of Tony Williams' Lifetime. The Antisocial Club is a more challen...

Hello Orpheus - Pleased you are giving Invisible Cinema a listen. Yes, I’ve heard Shadowfax but it’s been a while. Will have to go refresh my memory on them. I thought I heard shades of 80s Pat Metheny Group.  Your "pleasant sounds" and "needs a l...

Greetings aficionados. Hope everyone is surviving this warm summer. Appears to be a little break in the thread action here so I wanted to use it to call some attention to what is for me a wonderful recording. Thanks to my friend (and fellow A’gon ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Hey Nutty - Not sure what hits collection you were playing.  The 2 compilations that I like (they focus on pre-Fly Like an Eagle) are Steve Miller Band - Anthology and Steve Miller Band - The Best of 1968 - 1973.  Good reminder on Wishbone Ash.  I... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Huh..."universally praised tour"  Shows you what I know.  Still don't care for 'em (much).   :-)http://ultimateclassicrock.com/axl-rose-guns-n-roses-model-citizen/  
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
jafant - as much as I appreciate your succinct contributions to this thread, I'd argue that 5:49 PM US-DST does not qualify as "night"!...as in "What's in your CDP TONIGHT?!"BTW - Seriously, is that GnR tour to be honored or lamented?  Never was a... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Steve MillerHeard way too much of Fly Like an Eagle back when it first hit. The lab where I worked played a local AM station all day long. The several hits from that album and Book of Dreams got pounded to death. Never bought either as a result.  ... 
Exotic vocal
Hmmm.  Czarivey - didn't mention Bjork 'cause I associated her with throat singing but that's an interesting connection.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_throat_singing
