Recommendation question: this is currently my only Tinariwen album. They are playing at the college where I teach soon, and I plan to go. Which Tinariwen album should I consider purchasing next?
Actually, "Duquesne Women" via All Songs Considered. Enjoyable, fits into the last three Dylan albums well. Can't wait for the full release in two weeks.
How is that elwood? I've bee thinking of joining domino for the upcoming Animal Collective album; seeing Dan Deacon there is definitely a additional nudge.
Bang! Terrific slice of deep-dish Chicago jazz history.
In 1960, Paul Serrano was a young trumpet player from Chicago, with a considerable and varied experience as a sideman, mainly in his hometown jazz scene. Cannonball Adderley heard him there with this group of promising jazz musicians, and decided to record him.
The result was the album, "Blues Holiday," on which Serrano's quintet displays a driving, penetrating attack that was carried partly by the leader's flaring, brassy trumpet, and partly by Bunky Green's hard, lean, multitoned alto saxophone, that reflected the band's strength and potential. The rhythm section is tight and ideal, with fine solos by Jodie Christian and further bolstered by Pete LaRoca, who filled in when the quintet's regular drummer was unavailable for the date.
The other album included here finds a younger Serrano when he was member of another outstanding Chicago quintet, MJT + 3; the name stands for Modern Jazz Two, and refers to bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Walter Perkins, the co-leaders, while the three are Serrano, tenor Nicky Hill, and pianist Richard Abrams. It was a strong, empathetic group and makes a fitting addition to this homage to Paul Serrano, an unsung hardbop trumpeter.
I'm now back home after summer trips/holidays etc. We spent 12 hours yesterday travelling from Munich by train. Great for listening to music - I appreciated having decent headphones for my ipod. Lots to follow up here, and I've only looked at this thread so far!

$1 at BC. Slow, deliberate, cinematic, Latin-influenced. The mix is a little bassy for my liking, but good stuff nonetheless.
Songs Of Love & Spirit, 2009 album by Wilderness of Manitoba, on Spotify. Sounds mainly like Fleet Foxes, a little of Bon Iver or Sufjan. review
The original reason for me to sign up on drip.fm finally gets here.
