Tad - Infrared ridinghood (1995)
I know it's basically "Inhaler" part.2, but most of the album rips.

1653Been a few days now, I imagine another week or so. Although not digging Do the Collapse. Really enjoying everything previous though.

1655That’s more or less what I think of the GBV records up to that point.enframed wrote: Sun Jan 15, 2023 4:05 pmBeen a few days now, I imagine another week or so. Although not digging Do the Collapse. Really enjoying everything previous though.

Bug Music
Don Byron
https://www.allmusic.com/album/bug-music-mw0000078877
" Bug Music is a tribute to the music of the Raymond Scott Quintette, the John Kirby Sextet and Duke Ellington, headed by the remarkably versatile clarinetist Don Byron. Raymond Scott's legendary compositions feature eccentric song titles (including, on this set, "Siberian Sleighride," "Tobacco Auctioneer" and "War Dance for Wooden Indians"), complex and thoroughly composed arrangements (all of which were originally memorized rather than being written out) and unique melodies. Kirby's brand of swing, which is quite complementary to Scott's novelties, often utilized themes from classical music and had solos, but were also tightly arranged (even "St. Louis Blues" and "Royal Garden Blues"). The CD begins and ends with four Ellington/Strayhorn pieces that fit well into the idiom (particularly "The Dicty Glide" and "Cotton Club Stomp"). In addition to Byron, the key players on the project include altoist Steve Wilson (one of the best of the younger swing stylists), trombonist Craig Harris and pianist Uri Caine, in addition to four other horns and several rhythm sections. Other than a silly rendition of Ellington's "Blue Bubbles" and an adventurous interpretation of "Snibor," the selections are played with respect and great understanding of the somewhat forgotten style. None of the modern musicians sound as if swing were only their second language, making the continually surprising set a major success. "

1658Up to Isolation Drills now. I think I prefer the more lo-fi records to the slick production on these post 1997 records. Not that these don't have some good tracks. I was disappointed to hear strings on this one.jfv wrote: Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:54 pmThat’s more or less what I think of the GBV records up to that point.
