A Little Help from my Friends .....

Still at it Mister X just much lass than I was!! I tend to post the resto's on Facebook as the audience is huge & there are are no issues posting tons of images & video's unlike the 2 forums which have daft limitations on size & posting multiple images can be a right pain the ass!! Have done a few over the last few months but haven't been buying much at all - I need to move more boomers on as I simply have too many despite selling quite a few lately!!

 

Hold tight there Nick!

 

Some really nice people on here! Always humbled by the kind comments

 

I'm kind of blue about Miles Davis and boom box photo-op. I recollect reading in a late 1980s audio magazine (Stereophile or maybe Absolute Sound) that Davis was had abundant quantities of audiophile gear in his NYC super high rise condo crib. Stuff like Phase Linear amp & preamp, Klipsch Speakers, R2Rs, Thorens turntable, thousands of albums, et cetera.. Maybe a cassette deck or two. Another thread and story telling, I expect .....

Back to MDQ tunes ..... My assessment of the 'Rubber Band' album is above average, eclectic and mind expanding stuff. Better yet, I've recently been listening to a Miles Davis breakthrough album from 1969, titled 'In a Silent Way'. Get a load of the up and coming musicians he recruited during the late 1960s :

• Miles Davis – trumpet
• Wayne Shorter – soprano saxophone
• John McLaughlin – guitar
• Chick Corea – electric piano
• Herbie Hancock – electric piano
• Joe Zawinul – electric piano, organ
• Dave Holland – bass
• Tony Williams – drums

Recently, during continued "stay at home" closures here in MadCity, I recorded the MDQ album on Maxell UDXL II C-60 cassette.
J-Card posted, this album is predecessor to 'Bitches Brew' album, moving towards the new jazz fusion frontier.



Anyone have further thoughts regarding MDQ and essential albums?

Cheers,

Bleusy
