SGParticipantMingus`s Oh Yeah is a great album,Hog Callin Blues is totally killer! <img> (Roland Kirk and Booker Ervin made a great sax team).My fav Mingus album is Right Now At The Jazz Workshop,check out the song New Fables on Audiogalaxy,it`s 23 minutes of the wildest jazz possible.
Slim Harpo is cool,used to have his Best Of comp on Rhino,Gatemouth Brown`s Pressure Cooker is a good album,borrowed that from the library before;Lemonheads and Replacements is always good summer music.May 18, 2002 at 6:00 pm #69676
wirelandParticipantsalami….. "eat that chicken" is my fave track from oh yeah. i have the town hall concerts and live at the carnegie, but don’t have the jazz workshop Lp you mentioned……..maybe we should set up some trades. after you brought up the jazz this morning i listened to roland kirk "kirk’s work" and elvin jones "poly currents"
