James P. Johnson - "Victory Stride"

 

[Djupis]

George Harrison's All Things Must Pass

Its such a fantastic album!

An excellent album! It became an instant favourite.

Too much caffeine

interferes with normal operation of the Meatbox.

Right now it's stuck on tempo=manic (E.J. Mellinger's Rag played by a demented orchestrion from the movie Reds) and genre=grotesque (For Me and My Gal sung by Judy Garland with enough tranqs in her system to kill Janis Joplin).

Both are flashbacks to a childhood in a house full of show tunes.

Once I get home tonight I will be putting on some Stray Cats.

Love the stray cats, really like the rumble in brixton cd.

now the radio is playing beat it, by buena vista social club
very nice for a micheal jackson tune, (I don't really like his music)

I want to hear that cover version! (I will pretend I didn't read that last part )

I want to hear that cover version! (I will pretend I didn't read that last part )

it was a nice tune, but can't find on the internet, it was a poll on the radio , make it or break it.
it had the same rythem as clocks from coldplay where the BVSC also played on

the last part you didn't hear I was whispering

Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra - "Are You Making Any Money?" (Rec. 1933)

 

[Antje]

Minor Swing, the Rosenberg trio

 

[Darhling]

Melody Gardot 'baby I'm a fool' .. I'm mad for the strings in this song!

Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra - "Are You Making Any Money?" (Rec. 1933)

One of my favorite Depression tunes. The jazz snobs may sneer at Ramona, but I've never heard a vocal of hers I didn't like.

 

[John in Covina]

Public Enemies sound track- I like the Otis Taylor stuff from the film so a sought out the cd. Pretty interesting.

 

[JerseyMutt]

iTunes set on random. Right now I've got Abaddon's Bolero by Emerson, Lake & Palmer playing.

Thanks, Lizzie! I shouldn't consider myself a 'jazz-snob', I just like oldies.

Listening to:

Anton Karas - "The Harry Lime Theme".

I'm loving this young group from the UK

It's hard to believe they are opening up for COLDPLAY this Summer!

 

[Fletch]

Every operatic star
Throws away his whole darn repertoire
When Erastus Plays His Old Kazoo - The Savoy Orpheans, 1927

 

[Darhling]

not vintage at all, but still cool. The sountrack from 'From dusk 'till dawn' but only the music (not the spoken stuff) .. I find it is much more pleasant when it's turned up really loud and I'm vacuuming.. LOL

 

[JennyLou]

Feist- such a beautiful voice

 

[Djupis]

Feist- such a beautiful voice

So true!

 

[Shangas]

The Original Dixieland Jazz Band - "Margie" (Rec. 1920).

My little Margie! I'm always thinking of you, Maaargie,
I'll tell the world I love you,
Don't for-get your promise to me,
I have bought the home-and-ring-and-every-thing,
For little Margie! You are my inspiration,
Days are never blue!

After all is said and done,
There is really only one, Oh!
Margie, Margie, it's you!
