Mingus: The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady





What a wonderful, different and exciting sound world there is on this album. Some very different sounds emanate from this music making, often riotous and cacophonous but also terrifically exciting.


Love this!

First listen to this, which comes from the period in MD's career I'm least familiar with
CD 1
Santana 13:06
Minor Ninths Part 1 3:12
Minor Ninths Part 2 4:32
Celestial Blues Part 1 8:04
Celestial Blues Part 2 4:00
Celestial Blues Part 3 5:56
Remake of OBX Ballad 4:57
Remake of OBX Ballad [full studio session] 7:15
Freaky Deaky Part 1 9:50
Freaky Deaky Part 2 5:25

Freaky Deaky was recorded as part of the sessions which produced the Decoy album; the others come from the sessions which resulted in Star People.

Unlike the digipaks used for the previous installments of this series, this is a booklet and three CDs in cardboard sleeves inside a cardboard slipcase.

CD 2 consists of material recorded as part of the sessions for You're Under Arrest, while CD 3 is a July 7, 1983 concert in Montreal.

I don't mind Star People, but to my ears it already sounds like a disparate collection of not-essential outtakes.

Disparate? I suppose so.
Outtakes means simply they weren't used for the album.
But I enjoyed listening to them.

Was this "Santana" where or related to the rock group chose its name?...no Googling allowed!  :)

Possibly: the booklet talks about him listening to MTV on a regular basis (in its early days of actually showing music videos),  and otherwise grooving on early 1980s pop, but I didn't catch a specific Santana tune in that track and the only songwriting credit is Miles himself.

CD 2 includes his versions of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It, and Michael Jackson's Human Nature.

Kenny Drew: Recollections





This is very engaging and electrically infused music and music making. The musicians, both individually and collectively, are really excellent and they blend very well together as an ensemble. The music is very exciting with pounding rhythms and it is very well driven. This is an absolute cracker of an album and it really deserves to be heard if you do not know it! Really superb music and music making!

Bob James: Quartette Humaine (With David Sanborn)





I enjoyed this album very much. It was smooth, straightforward and uncomplicated music and music making of a very high standard. One was in the rhythmic flow from the opening bars of the first song. It is vibrant music and I particularly like the recorded tone of the saxophone, not to mention, of course, the playing! A very fine album indeed!
