Very long

i think it's pure genius to transform stuff into 'Hotel Lounge' type music. Great Jazz musicality, and these guys are very polished at it!

Plus, it always makes me laugh listening to the delivery of such lyrics!!

[Herman 9,716]

A double bit of Nick Cave. The first from a vinyl only release and the second from a Marc Bolan tribute album (to keep with the covers theme.)

 

[sonyc 5,492]

Roy Ayers featured earlier on R6 today as he is 80 this week. Couple here.

One song I know and like from Nick Cave is this...assume it's well known (in Cave circles!)

He did a really good duet with Kylie that’s worth a listen

[Herman 9,716]

He's definitely worth checking out. If you have best of/greatest hits on Spotify you shouldn't be disappointed.

[Yellow Fever 3,747]

I was listening to Supertramp 'Crime of the Century'. 

Then twigged it was the anthem of No. 10 and certain Tories.

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see
But that's no right oh no, what's the story?
But there's you and there's me
That can't be right

[Herman 9,716]

I can't say owt about the lyrics but that has one of the best piano breaks in rock music. Very simple but rather moving.👍

 

And the Roy Ayers track,Running Away, has been sampled recently (the doo-be-doo) but I can't remember by whom.

I have Running Away on a 12'' US Import - It's a cracker.

If you like that have a listen to another ace Jazz drummer...Idris Muhammad

I've got 3 LPs by this guy, some out and out disco, and some cracking jazz on all albums

 

 

[FenwayFrank 2,456]

Found it

Happy birthday to the king of soul 

 

[Herman 9,716]

I finally got around to a good online record shopping excursion. They sadly informed me that the Yusef Lateef album I wanted wasn't available but they had others in stock. This included the album I wanted but as part of a 4 CD boxset. For the same price. Nice.👍😀

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Blue Nile. Epic.

 

[SHRIMPER 328]

Thought I would cheer myself up today and listened to  Leonard Cohen. He really was a fantastic song writer. One or two songs of his I would like to play to a few on here on an endless loop.

A good tune for the best day of the week.

Never fan of punk but did like Sonic Youth and this cover of the great Human League reminds of them

Try Hive.co.uk. Good online store with the bonus of helping local independent shops.

 He doesnt understand but but my 7 year old nephew knows good music when he hears it. Hes jumping around like a loon. Possibly the best thing they ever did. That drum sund is lush

After all these years I finally find out that they were Finnish. Did some good stuff back in the day.
