LCD-2, LCD-3, Owners and the Music They Love... - Page 62

Here's a classic album from the Queen of Soul. I was teaching one of the tracks recently (see video below) and am currently digging the great tunes/playing on this record. Aretha, Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey, Al Jackson, Dr. John. Cornell Dupree, etc. 'nuff said. :-)

...and hot off the press...

I tried to keep my playing like the original drum track without doing too much extra stuff over the top of it. Bernard Purdie, the drummer on the original recording, has got some deep, deep pockets:

Saul Williams - No One Ever Does

Don't think it's exactly what you're looking for but it's slow and sad...and just an excellent song.

OK, just off the top of my head (this'll be all over the place in terms of genres)...

Try Antony and the Johnson's EP, The Lake, for the title cut.

Emily Barker, Despite the Snow

Anything by Mazzy Star

Woven Hand, Blush Music (challenging, but wrist-slitting sad)

Anything by Lori Carson, or her work with Golden Palominos

Madredeus - Ainda (world music)

Jordi Savall - Mr. de Sainte Colombe le Fils: Pièces de Viole (instrumental, early music)

The Tea Party, Edges of Twilight

Tomasz Stanko - most of his stuff is pretty dark an brooding jazz

Elliot Smith...pretty much anything there

Nick Drake...part of the suicide club

I'll come up with more, but that ought to get you started..

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around

Really enjoying Destroyer's Kaputt. Love this film clip -

I just got the 2002 deluxe version of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" (WA most probably has this edition, too :-). I find that in relation to the other version of "A Love Supreme" I have, which is also a Rudy Van Gelder remaster, there's a big difference in the clarity of instruments on this deluxe edition. There's also a very noticeable increase in the stereo spread (in the deluxe edition Coltrane's sax is panned further to the left and Elvins' drums are further to the right; the before-and-after of positioning is like going from 10:30 to 9 o'clock and from 1:30 to 3 o'clock, respectively).

The wide panning of Coltrane and Elvin on this deluxe edition reminds me of how John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham are panned on Miles Davis' "Tribute to Jack Johnson,' which is another awesome album.

Or it is the John Coltrane - (1964) A Love Supreme  (2008.Impulse) 24-96 

 

I have them both.

That's that one I'm referring to. I find the live set adventurous but not as refined as performance on the original studio release.

How's the 2008 Impulse version?

Lush-sounding offering by Becker, Fagen, and co.

I'm going to have to fire up the library card again.  Larger hard drive now as well.  The only name I recognize in the group is Sly and the Family Stone.  I read Sly was homeless and living in a van in LA.
