And We're Back (Finally!)
Sorry for the delay folks, sometimes life gets in the way... anyways, I have an interesting show this week - some jazz grooves, some Brazillian stuff, and some rock stuff. I also have another great and random Quebec 45, this time a cover of Lee Dorsey's Ya Ya on the Dinamic label. I think there must just be an endless supply of cool Quebec 45s... I even heard a story about people finding 45s from the great Lee Gagnon 'Jeremie' album - how cool is that!?
Anyways, I'm a real big fan of the Rotary Connection, and Charles Stepney's lush orchestrations, which fit so well with Minnie Riperton's voice, so I had to play a track from their great LP 'Songs' on the Cadet Concept label. There are lots of great songs on that LP, and I chose 'Tales of Brave Ulysses', which was a song originally written by Eric Clapton for Cream. Also on this show is a pair of songs by the Brazillian percussionist Airto Moreira, who, along with Flora Purim, was a Brazillian artists who played on a lot of music in the US. He's got a very interesting style that I like quite a lot. All that plus Gal Costa, Earth Wind & Fire, Nostalgia 77, and a great long moving track by the Czech band Jazz Q Prague. It's nice to be back!
