#NowPlaying finally home to spin the haul of records I saved for Xmas. Leading off, one of my all-time favorite albums first released on vinyl in 2023: MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD - SHACK-MAN (Real Gone Music; originally on CD, Gramavision, 1996). The volume is awfully quiet due to 54 min of music being crammed onto 2 sides, but it sounds ok with the stereo cranked up. I'm just glad to have it on #vinyl. Thanks Santa! #MMW#jazz#groove@vinylrecords
@vinylrecords#NowPlaying expansive spiritual world jazz by DON CHERRY & DOLLAR BRAND recorded live at Musikforum Schloss, Viktring, Austria - July 20, 1972 (WHP, 2023). Also featuring Johnny Dyani's pulsing bass and Nana Vasconcelos sliding in and out on percussion. #DonCherry#DollarBrand#JohnnyDyani#jazz#vinyl
@vinylrecords#NowPlaying one more tonight, SHARON JONES & The DAP-KINGS - JUST DROPPED IN (TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY RENDITION WAS IN) (Daptone, 2020). A posthumous collection of covers commissioned for movies, commercials, samples, or tribute albums (e.g., Prince's "Take Me with U"), or that the band recorded on their own (e.g., Bob Marley's "It Hurts to be Alone"). #SharonJones#Daptone#soul#funk#r&b #vinyl
