Finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Butterfield Blues Band - East<->West (another great Elektra record) and gave it a listen for the first time ever last night. I liked it. I thought it got better (read: mo' psychedelic) as it went on. When did that come out.. '66? They would qualify as another very early inter-racial band.
clifford brown and max roach starbuck's sly & the family stone comp - not the remixes cat power - the greatest donald fagen - morph the cat the kinks - the singles matisyahu - youth belle & sebastian - the life pursuit rock and roll hall of fame show : pistols letter was a highlight, miles davis jam was cool (great to see mike stern), frank infante from blondie's mini-rant, debbie harry's vocals sad. hipped some of my band students to 'orange skies' - my flutes really dug it.
Last summer I was riding around for about a week or two with East-West in my car. I was hooked on the title track, it is around 13 minutes or so, but it was completely hypnotic especially when just cruising around at night (for me anyways).
Earlier today I was listening to The Stones' December's Children album. It hasn't grown on me yet, I prefer 12 x 5 out of the earlier stuff I have heard.
