“Connie Converse was a folk-music genius. Then she vanished”

Anjunabeats Archive Volume 1

This is a new series Anjuna are putting out, 4 of their early releases on each records, scalpers are all over these and they sold out within an hour and they didn’t really advertise it before the sales went live, so grabbing them all is going to be tough. Don’t know why they can’t release them in higher quantities!

Dave Brubeck Quartet “Time Further Out” Columbia cd

Teo Macero produced fine albums, and Fred Plaut engineered many fine ones. This has been a favorite of mine for ages, my parents used to have a copy of this one and “Bossa Nova USA.”

From this amazing box set:

Got an email from The Absolute Sound and their website has news of

“The newly remastered Sex Machine marks the first time Mobile Fidelity reissued a James Brown LP on vinyl (it’s also coming out on SACD).”

“James Brown and whatever band he happened to be working with during this period generated more heat in the studio than most bands do in concert, and live they were even hotter.”

" Sex Machine does a fine job of merging new funk grooves with live performances of such earlier classics as “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” “Please Please Please,” and “I Can’t Stand Myself When You Touch Me,” "

I recalled James Brown owned a radio station in Knoxville.

from Google search:

“Brown owned the Knoxville, TN, based WJBE-AM (1430 AM) from 1968 through 1979”

He may have owned other stations as well?

sacd is in stock/available and now ordered

Time for some Wayne Shorter, and one that I haven’t listened to in a while, “Schizophrenia.” I think the title keeps me away from pulling this out at times, in my past I had an intimate knowledge of that disease. . . .

This is a great one with Spaulding, Fuller, Hancock, Carter and Chambers.
