What 🎶music are you listening to at this moment?

I was discussing Tolkien on another forum, remembered that he based some of his descriptions on Eddas and ended up on this:

I hope you don't mind if I steal that for the Music for Middle Earth thread!

Great stuff, CL, but. . .does this mean the Music for Middle Earth thread is officially dead? 🙁

I posted it there, too Mate.

Oh, cool -- thanks!
I feel a little proprietary about that thread, you know -- I'd like to see it grow.

Which reminds me: hey, Aldarion -- I bet you could come up with some good additions. Why not give it a browse, hmm?

Listening to Traffic today

Listening to Traffic today

"John Barleycorn" is one of my absolute earworms. The two Traffic vinyl albums I own are the post-"Blind Faith": "John Barleycorn Must Die" from 1970 and the 1971 "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" (both bought several years after initial release). I was a bit puzzled not to find the name of one drummer in the "Traffic" article on Wikipedia. But going direct to his name cleared things up: Pete York and Steve Winwood played together pre Winwood's Traffic years, in the Spencer Davis Group! And I once saw and heard Pete York live in the north of Nürnberg in a music club, with his then group "Pete York's New York". Don't know precisely when that was, but I bought a vinyl thingy then and there, the group's "Into the Furnace" from 1980 (And I just noticed - I knew I had garnered Pete's signature on the inner sleeve - that I seem to have gotten the signatures of (all) four members of the group there! And that I noted when - 27 January 1981 - and where (no idea if this cellar club still exists) I managed to get a hold of it!). A song from that LP (and that they played that night) is an even more serious earworm for me: "Blue Mountain Roll"! Send shivers down my back even now! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Good stuff. But if you want to get a hold of some really good Brazilian / Jazz fusion stuff, try to get your mitts on a copy of Stan Getz's 1972 "Captain Marvel". He got together a group of serious luminaries for this: Chick Corea, who composed most of the material, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Tony Williams 🤩🤩🤩 . And if you liked the flute bit, just check out Herbie Mann. 🤩🤩🤩 I have 19 albums by this guy, including the amazing 1962 "At The Village Gate", which has about the earliest music riffs that I can still remember.
On the other hand, the "newest" album of his that I have is from 1974 ...
And on an entirely other hand, on Mann's 1971 album "Push Push", some guy named Duane Allman lends the session some (slide) guitar fireworks.

Will do. In the meantime:

I posted that last one on the Music for Middle Earth thread. Woodmen, was my thought.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Crumhorns!

I really like -- these (?) guys (?)

OK, if Miguel is going to post more elevator music, I'm going to post more MAMAMOO. This one popped up on youtube today:

"That's nice" thought I, "The girls are getting better at lipsynching".

Then I read some of the comments. Wait -- WHAT?

Went back and watched again. Yep!
