Notes_Norton Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) When I was a child, I walked into a record store and asked the owner if he could recommend a saxophone record. I was in beginning band at school and didn't know any famous sax players yet. The clerk sent me home with this one. The music was a bit over my head at the time, but I grew to love it. I wore out two vinyl LPs and finally got it in CD. The orchestra was written and arranged, the sax and drum parts are completely improvised. It's not jazz, it's not classical, it's not pop, it's not like anything Stan Getz did before or after, it's in a class by itself, and the sax improvisations are superb.

Notes_Norton Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) The Ernie Kovacs Record Collection - Various Artists Ernie was a gifted sight-gag comedian in the early, early days of Television. These cuts were originally foreground music for comedy skits, and most them hold up on their own, even if very dated. Saxophobia is one of my favorites for obvious reasons. I can't imaging playing like that, and I rarely listen to it, but when I do, it always makes me smile.

Notes_Norton Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Analog and lots of patch cables. I couldn't listen to it every day. Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra - Space Is The Place I couldn't listen to this one every day either. In fact, I probably won't make it to the end. Sun Ra is a fantastic musician who IMHO went over the deep end. But I love the outfit he wore on the album cover Edited December 11, 2019 by Notes_Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I don't listen to Christmas Music except on the gig where we play quite a few. There's nothing wrong with Christmas Music and I enjoy playing it on the gig, but when I'm off gig, I listen to music we aren't playing just for the variety of it. Up From the Sea It Arose and Ate Rio in One Swift Bite - George Duke One of my favorite George Duke cuts.

Notes_Norton Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Jorge Caballero plays Capriccio Espagnol (by Rimsky Korsakov) I wish I could play like that. I think I started guitar too late to get that good. Edited December 14, 2019 by Notes_Norton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Capriccio Italien - Tchaikovsky (Igor Manasherov, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra) A nice Sunday morning listen after 5 straight one-night gigs playing pop music. I dearly love the pop music we play, we had a great time, but variety is indeed the spice of life.
