[The Minsky Moment]

Elvin Jones - The Ultimate Elvin Jones (1968)

This is the old John Coltrane rhythm section -- Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Jones on drums, but with no piano, and multi-instrumentalist Joe Farrell (tenor sax, soprano sax, flute).  The piano-less trio recalls Sonny Rollins' similar set up from a decade early in his highly regarded Village Vanguard recordings, where Elvin Jones also played drums.  Farrell doesn't have Sonny's tone or inexhaustible ideas, but he has some inspired playing on this.  Truth be told Farrell's name didn't ring a bell with me, some googling revealed he died young and did a lot of work with Chick Corea's fusion bands, not a body of work I'm that familiar with.  Nice work here, and with Garrison and Jones pushing things along the bar is high.

Oh and this one is pretty cool even if you aren't the biggest 21 Pilots fan (I'm not, but it pops up a lot in related videos on youtube so I've seen it a couple times):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OnO3UXFZdE

It shows how far they've come.  From wearing Halloween costumes in front of 10 people to stadiums full of thousands.  Despite my general dislike of the band, I dig that video a lot.

And so on.  I Am the Highway is next, then Fade Into You.

Youtube autoplay took me to Sixx AM.  The heroin diaries are some depressing shit.  I mean, yeah, he/they got away from it, but damn that's dark.

Tom Waits - Heart of a Saturday Night

Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope

[Duque de Bragança]

Alan Silvestri - Delta Force Theme

:worship:

The first Delta Force movie was formative in young Tamas' life.

I mean, rocket launchers on motorbikes. Come on.

Then watch Megaforce (1982) since they came up with the rocket launchers on motorbikes thing.  Not even Chuck Norris invented this one.

Noel Gallagher - Holy Mountain

I think I like the new Liam more, but this ain't bad.

Cigarettes After Sex - Sunsetz

So apparently it's a guy who's singing. He sounds a lot like Hope Sandevel.

Been listening to Portishead tonight.

I made the mistake of listening to a song by Insane Clown Posse.

George Cables - Cables Vision (1979)

The first track has a very 70s vibe, with a farty Jaco Pastorious style electric bass, and a sound that veers dangerously into smooth jazz.  It picks up nicely from there, however, with help from a great front line - Freddie Hubbard on flugelhorn doing his sizzle, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, and Cables himself on piano.  It's much like Hutcherson's excellent 70s era sessions on Blue Note and Columbia, with the same 3 guys recording with BH as leader.  The 70s were a very tough time for this kind of music but there are a lot of fine if mostly forgotten sessions from the period.
