hamilton Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I'm going to bed now... I consider my services to this board for today to be finished... (Really... the album is that good... I was actually dancing around the apartment - granted, I was drunk, but nevertheless...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 And after you're real drunk, maybe go down to the public park and stagger around and ask people for money, and then lay down and go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Went to Rotate this, and they only had Les Stances, which was like $28, not the double release. I'll have to look elsewhere... On the plus side, I did get: Sun Ra - Space is the place The Hummers - Save the Jets The Poets of Rhythm - Discern/Define I gots me some listening to do!

Must have been an import... I paid about $14 for mine - although it sounds like it was re-mastered from vinyl (a little hissy at times) it still sounds fucking great. "Space Is The Place" is a fun album... enjoy! (Awake again, and sober now. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 There. I imagine that the subject line got those who are interested... Okay, so here's the deal... I've been listening to a lot of jazz over the last two or three years, particularly beyond the Miles Davis/John Coletrane stuff that gets everyone started. I've found a lot of good stuff, but I'm always looking for it - y'know, the feeling you felt the first time you "got" Kind of Blue, or Bitches' Brew, or A Love Supreme, or My Favourite Things, or whatever it was that made you feel that way (insert your own favourite Davis/Coletrane/Monk/Mingus/Dolphy/Shorter/Parker/Hancock/Gillespie/whatever thing here). I think I found it. Go check out the new EMI France series "Americans Swinging In Paris" - lots of ol' time jazz like Lionel Hampton, but also the Art Ensemble of Chicago. That's it. Buy this. Two albums on one CD, 1970's "Les Stances A Sophie" and 1969's "People In Sorrow". Jesus Fuck. Spacey, like the Grateful Dead during drums/space... funky... jazzy... trippy... sometimes Sun Ra-ish.... I dunno what else to say. MarcO, secondtube, Esau13, Cyberhippie - I'm lookin at YOU. Go. Now. To the store. As far as I know, this is the only CD edition of these albums. HURRY UP, for fuck's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
