Night of the Living Vinyl: Bert Kaempfert - A Swingin' Safari
http://nightofthelivingvinyl.blogspot.com/2013/04/bert-kaempfert-swingin-safari.html
Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Thursday, 18 April 2013. Bert Kaempfert - A Swingin' Safari. There was a time when you could pick this record up in virtually any charity shop in Britain, and for all I know from everywhere else in the world! At one time I had four copies of it - I'm still not really sure why. It's long held a strange fascination for me. Its clearly an example of exotica. I mean just look at the cover! First off we have That Happy Feeling ...

Night of the Living Vinyl: THE WATTS TOWERS AND JAZZ RECORD SLEEVES
http://nightofthelivingvinyl.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-watts-towers-and-jazz-record-sleeves.html
Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Tuesday, 19 February 2013. THE WATTS TOWERS AND JAZZ RECORD SLEEVES. The Watts Towers in Los Angeles are fascinating examples of outsider art, public art, community art, and inventive engineering. They have come to stand as symbols not just of the place in which they were build, the Watts area of Los Angeles, but also of racial politics in California as well as the United States. As Mingus and Collette's descriptions show,...

Night of the Living Vinyl: DON BURROWS PLUS SIX - ON CAMERA

Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Monday, 15 October 2012. DON BURROWS PLUS SIX - ON CAMERA. For reasons that I can't begin to explain, this record hasn't been far from turntable for the last few weeks. In case you don't know him, Don Burrows is one of the key figures in Australian jazz. If you ever come across a record from Australia that contains jazz it will also probably have Burrows playing on it! Anyway, I digress! It was in this atmosphere that musi...

Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Friday, 19 April 2013. Exploito Records Update - is there no end? I must say I'd thought I'd come to the end of the line with the whole 60s exploito thing. I mean could I scrape the barrel any more? The answer, of course, is yes, I could. Over the last few months I've spotted some more records from the same stable as some of the ones I've already mentioned. Read about some other Hendrixploitation records here. But, by far ...

Night of the Living Vinyl: April 2012
http://nightofthelivingvinyl.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Friday, 27 April 2012. Thomas Leer and Robert Rental - The Bridge. The classic theme of the story of electronic music in Britain is told is one of an amazing synchronicity. In different cities, different people, with different influences, were playing with machines that could make music. This wonderful, emotive and captivating record has elements of Brian Eno and Bowie, of the electronic side of Krautrock such as Tangerine...

Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Thursday, 9 August 2012. GUY WARREN - AFRICA SPEAKS, AMERICA ANSWERS! Guy Warren arrived in the US in 1954 and having played in London with Kenny Graham's Afro-Cubists (if anyone has any recordings of Warren with the band let me know! And in Ghana with ET Mensah, he quickly found gigs, albeit not immediately very lucrative. The record opens with Guy and band members chanting - presumably Africa speaking! Monkies and Butter...

Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Thursday, 13 September 2012. GLENN (GHANABABA) WARREN - RHYTHMS OF HAPPY FEELINGS. This, unjustly neglected record, is by Glenn Ghanababa Warren. However, it has his father, Guy Warren's fingerprints all over it! Released on Ghana's Safari Records in 1980 - what a great record label symbol! Does anyone know if they released any more records? The final elements in the mix are Tom McCarthy and Sharon Shapiro who produced a n...

Night of the Living Vinyl: PETER BURMAN'S JAZZ TETE A TETE
http://nightofthelivingvinyl.blogspot.com/2012/11/peter-burmans-jazz-tete-tete.html
Night of the Living Vinyl. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. Wednesday, 28 November 2012. PETER BURMAN'S JAZZ TETE A TETE. This led to Burman organising concerts, which he called Jazz Tete a Tete's, in the Recital Room at the Royal Festival Hall. These concerts were broadcast on the BBC's Jazz Club. There is none of this experimentation in Keane's playing here. Instead he supports the Pat Smythe Trio. Smythe was also a member of the Harriott Quintet. In his way he was as...Keane and...
