ray barretto - acid

Cheers
This is good. I got one up on a know-all jazz musician friend who had never heard of him. :D

....glad to be of service :D ....and btw the Eddie Palmieri piece further up-thread could also contribute to the fun ( and for a dyed in the wool jazz guy is probably a much more challenging/interesting piece )....

Cheers

@Blutto: Linton Kwesi Johnson... I had never heard of him before. Muchos gracias for that. Proper dead good awesome innit.

In the spirit of something a bit different, may I offer Salif Keita (another all time favourite):

....most excellent, thank you...

...you have to have LKJ's Forces of Victory in your collection....the music is awesome and the icing on the cake is the production values which are awesomely awesome....on a great stereo with, uhhh, adequate power, it will blow you away ( where for the purposes of this study adequate is defined as anything north of 300w/ch )....

I am trying to think who I saw when they supported the final headline act. think something at The Corner Hotel in melbourne Richmond Australia, one of the finest band venues ever, capacity about 800, Pavement, Elliot Smith, Luna, Mercury Rev, Tindersticks, Tindersticks! The Necks, Dirty Three, Catpower, Smog, Will Oldham, some great foreign acts I have seen that, ever since the smoking ban in Victoria, the atmosphere has not been the same since the 90s and noughties.
 
I saw them probably at the Ritz in the 90s; or some equivalent stage. Some places in NY and SF held out after the smoking ban for awhile. There's a Russian bar in Paris and lots in Berlin that still capture aspects of that different sensibility.

I hadn't really heard them since back when, but there was something about that sound and band composition that brought back a forgotten layer of that time.

(Don't miss brutal smoke hangovers and sequestering my clothes)

i had long hair, and did not smoke. but my fondest memories were the tobacco in my hair and my pillow the next morning. and an Australian draught beer, Carlton draught, assume a lot like Bud, something cheap, but when watching a great band, it becomes a sweet poison
 
I had a big long cousin It mop, but I don't miss that as a smoke resevoir. Carlton is probably better than Bud as I recall. Bud's scale of homogeneity makes it about the worst.

Edit: I'll post a suitably riotous and elegeic song when the proper one occurs.
