Some cool finds from the last couple weeks. Don't know how this is my first ever recent finds post
That Bonnie Dobson is really good. I remember that someone here (?) made an off comment back in the day saying, "BD is ill!". Then someone who I guess knew her on a personal basis said, "NO! She isn't!!! I saw her yesterday and she looked very healthy!". That was hilarious.
Anyhow, here are my weekend finds...
From a local shop..
Top Left - The Marketts. I swore I wouldn't buy a record just for a drum break. California Sun starts with an uptempo break... i hesitate... middle of song, another break.... ok but I'm not gonna do it.... song ends with a drum break again. I say no and put the record back. About a minute later I say fuck it, it's 6.99, and put it in the stack.
Paul Horn. Worth it for the cover alone. I googled the lady that came up with the design. I'd like to know the back story on this. Like why this is the art they would come up with for music that doesn't appear to have anything to do with our lord Satan. In the liner notes Paul says he heard some music from a brazilian guy and said "I must have him", and so they went out and got him, and this was the result. A lot of Paul Horn records are super boring flute music, but this one is wild. In a good way. And it was cheap, so i'm not mat.
Throb. What is that thing in the middle though? Buttcheecks?
Hotel Hello - Album Art that's just a picture of a sunset is a real thing. It's almost as if they want the album to be ignored so they make the cover as boring as possible. They could take notes from the Paul Horn cover lady. Anyways, I've been trying to hunt down music that is like 'ambient jazz'. spaced out, pretty... I'm not sure how to describe it or if is even a genre. But there are a few cuts on here that are EXACTLY what I'm looking for. 'Vashkar' is amazing. So is 'Impromptu' and 'Sweeping Up'. The album is on spotify too.
Labelle - Solid funky soul with multiple denim outfits on the cover. And yeah, it's actually Patty Labelle.
Billy Hart - Enchance. Most of this album is headache inducing free jazz. Not my thing. But I bought for one song - "Rahsaan is Beautiful", presumably named for Rahsaan Roland Kirt. This is another 'ambient jazz' piece that is absolutely gorgeous. I will pay 4.99 for an album with only 1 good song. I'm looking for more like this so if anybody has any recommendations please let me know.
Gary Burton - Throb notable descriptions I've seen
"jazz-cum-rock"
"jizz jazz"
"pre cum post jazz"

I picked up that Paul Horn a few months back out of a dollar bin. Was also initially attracted to the cover art, but then the back says it's with the one brazilian dude Egberto Gismonti, who's a jazz guitarist with a somewhat mixed track record of mostly fusion releases. I thought this one was on the good side of things, there are a few compositions he had put out in previous albums I think. Either way, his records turn up in the US sometimes and they're usually cheap too, always worth a cop. Worse case you'll be stuck with some wonky fusion LP that maybe has one good track on it. He also had an independent label in Brazil called Carmo, and some of their releases are really nice, but a bit spendy these days because they're on the radar of those experimental/ambient collectros.
