Earle's tribute to Townes van Zandt. Rootsy music of all hues.

Very good.

Tiggi Wrote:Easy Star All-Stars - Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band

Latest in this NYC collectives' series of classic albums ina Reggae stylee.

This time the target is Sgt Pepper, and as they usually manage, this is a brilliant adaptation of a very familiar work...

This rotating group now has 5 albums out of revisited material plus one of new stuff. This includes a re-revisiting of Pink Floyd's classic Dark Side of the Moon all brilliantly done.

I wish this consumer-oriented company all the best. The piece mentioned is on the right side of the Home page (no reg. needed to listen)--it's in a continuous loop.: http://lostgoldmusic.com/index.php/artists

Dizzy Gillespie - At Newport

Dizzy Gillespie - Dizzy & Strings

At Newport is a good live album, but the second one is not so strong. Still enjoyable.

Bebop, Swing, Blues, & Latin are all here...
If you want an early "...With Strings" disc, you want Charlie Parker with Strings--he (and Norman Granz) legitimized the concept.:

Superb album all the way through and his breakthrough. A reviewer says his liberal use of silence influenced many others including Miles Davis. This piece and 1 other:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU1hm7KlfT8

Putting this out there in 2 renditions--solo and a quartet with John Coltrane.
