I’ve always liked the fact that the Jacksons’ 1978 hit single “Blame it on the Boogie” was written by Michael Jackson.
But not THAT Michael Jackson.
It was written and first recorded by an English […]

Roll Over Lay Down in the Tube Station at Midnight

The Miles Davis group also had two players with the same name (Bill Evans).

Re: Hearts and Bones

Yes, an outstanding album – and one of the worst-selling records of his career.

Re: 85% cocoa content is the sweep spot.

Listen to Vulpes on this point.

John Darnielle out of the Mountain Goats has written three novels, I think.
Mrs duco01 has read one of them: “Wolf in White Van”.

Yes, that’s what I was going to say.
“Hum Dono”, Harriott’s 1969 collaboration with the Goan guitarist Amancio D’Silva, is very tasty indeed. The album got a well-deserved vinyl re-release in 2015.

Yeah, you gotta say, it was a bad move, killing that albatross.

Favourite Milt Jackson album:
Sunflower (1972).
The one with the ostriches on the cover.
It had the archetypal CTI Records sound.
Nice.

Rick Jones … he was in that band Meal Ticket, wasn’t he? They were the third band I ever saw live. Long time ago now …..

Nice to see the Modern Jazz Quartet’s “Fontessa” holding down the coveted no.25 spot. A fine album, recorded in the mid-fifties, and way before its time. The title track is a particular gem.

Yes, the list definitely needs some Grant Green.
You’re probably wondering “Which are duco01’s favourite Grant Green albums? Can’t he tell us what they are, in a ranking order from 1 to 6?”

No sooner said than […]

Here are 10 songs from the 1990s that I love.
Some of them have been mentioned by other Afterworders, but hey, that’s OK.

Elvis Costello – Couldn’t Call it Unexpected No.4
REM – Find the River
Ayub Ogada […]

Twang – if you’re just getting into the live recordings of Bill Evans, you have a wonderful journey ahead of you.
For what it’s worth, these are my fourteen favourite Bill Evans live albums. Dive in – you can’t […]

Charlie Parker is at no.8 !

I echo what vulpes says.
And remember: after listening to the Big Man from the Kingdom of Fife, “you’ll be sadder but wiser”…

I’m rather disappointed to see that I only own 45 out of those 100 albums.
Oh well.

At this point, one normally says “[insert album name here]” should’ve been higher.

So, here we go.

“The Blanton-Webster […]

And she later guested with Lemmy on “No Sleep till Rupertsberg”.

Nice post, Beezer.
One small thing: the name of that pub on Whitehall is actually the Lord Moon of the Mall.
And Google tells us that, apparently, it’s now permanently closed. Strange.

Indeed – they’re “like a cabbage in this society”.
