Subject: Re: (exotica) Good Vibrations, so to speak
Cal Tjader is wonderful. I love his "Sounds out Burt Bacharach" and it's on CD....the first track "Ms Moneypenny Goes for Broke", believe is the track name, is my favorite. That theme drives me nuts! Another version of a "Casino Royale" tune renamed, since that distinction has been brought up and clarified by our Tiki Bob.
And comments on the "Talkin' Verve" comp? That would seem to be a good place to start for a first Tjader CD..
And just got an LP by Cal...but have not listened to it yet. "Last Bolero in Berkeley" Should I rush home and slap it on the turntable?

I was telling my co-worker Dave about Project Pimento. The theremin playing has got to be the sharpest IÆve ever heard. There mp3's are available at www.projectpimento.com. Darrell played them on the Retro Cocktail Hour so maybe you have heard them. IÆm playing the 4 available tracks on my show tomorrow.
Dave is a hip-hop artist in the process of getting his new CD pressed. He wanted to know what a theremin is so I described it, showed him a picture on the net and lend him my Project Pimento CDr.
He digs the sound and would be interested in mixing it into his ôbeatsö.
So if youÆre a theremin player and your around the Boston area and want to break into the hip-hop scene give me a holler. Be glad to hook you up!

Subject: (exotica) Funny Napster Thing
I just listened to a version of 4'33" by John Cage that I downloaded off of
Napster. Then I started thinking about the copyright implications and the
thought of paying royalties for over for minutes of silence.
Thought I'd share that with you all.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Germania
Just a note from someone who lives in the city of the original
Oktoberfest:
What you call Germania should in fact be called Bavaria, as those
fishheads up in the north don't have a sense for the psychedelic aspects
of humpa-induced beer-drinking. As for my virulent reflux oesophagitis I
cannot join the fun this year, but I recieved a mail from my friend
Hias, which goes like this:
(I hope your translation machines speak Bavarian!)
LADIES & GENTLEMAN
FISCHRECORDS proudly presents:
The smoothest Brassband from the OKTOBERFEST!
CD - KRINOLINE BLASKAPELLE - BIERMUSIK!
(Fischrecords 007, Vertrieb Indigo/Hoanzl)
"Wir spielen keine Volksmusik,
wir spielen BIERMUSIK!" (Franz F=FCrst)
(we don't play folk music, we play beer music)
CD hier erh=E4ltlich! Munich:

Gr=FCss Gott!
Endlich gibt's von einer der ber=FChmtesten Blasmusiken Bayerns einen
Tontr=E4ger.
Die KRINOLINE BLASKAPELLE, die smootheste, butterweichste, soulfulste
Kapelle weit und breit, spielt und bl=E4st zur Oktoberfestzeit auf dem
Krinoline-Karussell und jetzt auch auf CD.
Das Quintett wurde f=FCr diese Aufnahmen um die 90-j=E4hrigen Zwillinge u=
nd
Fl=FCgelhornisten Sepp und Franz (der =E4ltere!) Schmid zusammengestellt,
weil
die beiden noch eine ganz eigene Art des langsamen, weichen, bayrischen
Blasmusikspiels verk=F6rpern. Dabei sind au=DFerdem Franz F=FCrst (58),
Tenorhorn,
Sepp Preis (51) an der Tuba und Sigi Kaiser (60), Tenorhorn.
Die "Schmid Buam", die =E4ltesten Zwillinge M=FCnchens sind seit gut 20
Jahren
auf der Krinoline dabei. Vor dieser Zeit haben sie jahrzehntelang als
Bierzeltmusiker auf dem Oktoberfest gespielt: Im "Armbrustsch=FCtzen"-,
"L=F6wenbr=E4u"- und "Augustiner-Zelt", bei der "Fischer Vroni", in der
"Ochsenbraterei", beim "Winzerer F=E4hndl" und in der"Br=E4urosl".
Perfektion stand bei dieser Produktion, die live ohne Publikum
aufgenommen
wurde, nicht im Vordergrund. Entscheidend sind Groove, Innigkeit und
Entspanntheit der Musiker. Deshalb haben wir auch kleine musikalische
"Unsauberkeiten" auf der Aufnahme gelassen.
Das sind die "Bavarian Bluenotes".
Die Krinoline f=E4hrt seit 1924 auf dem Oktoberfest und ist heute auf der
Wiesn eines der =E4ltsten Schaustellergesch=E4fte. Das vielgepriesene
Traditionskarussell wird von Theo Niederl=E4nder betrieben und ist nur au=
f
dem Oktoberfest zu erleben.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Cal Tjader/vibes
>Thanks in part to the heavy rotation of Cal Tjader on Luxuriamusic.com and
my realizing how much I like the vibes sound, I'm looking for some
pointers as to where to start in acquiring some recordings (CD only). Any
suggestions on my first Cal CD or other vibe artists/cd's?

There is a Verve CD compilation of his stuff (I think it has 'The Roots of
Acid Jazz' subtitle (!)) and it's well chosen stuff from loads of great
albums. Looking at the albums individually, I think 'Along Comes Cal' and
'Soul Burst' have the best latin-dancefloor grooves, 'Soul Sauce' has the
classic Guachi Guara and is the essential one really, 'Several Shades of
Jade' has really rich, fiery Lalo Schifrin orchestrations, and 'Breeze from
the East' has some really interesting lighter but funky exotic arrangements
by Claus Ogerman (great guitar work, lovely strings, and a dash of quirky
Dick Hyman). Ones to avoid : 'Warm Wave' and ' Soul Bird'.
