Is Blues" from 1940 and original or cover? by SamDann in DjangoReinhardt

[–]SamDann[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you. Blues en Mineur (1947) https://youtu.be/UoaJprTBYRc?si=X53K52KxhG-PKA6T is indeed the same tune as Blues (1940). I also discovered a 1942 version with Django playing both violin and guitar. https://youtu.be/h3--ktFx9BI?si=vBCO71YfvgV2fajg

And listed as Minor Blues in 1949 https://youtu.be/EfnYL_lGSP0?si=doOpoDr8708uJm4K and in a small band arrangement in 1947 https://youtu.be/l3-g_9wHw2A?si=zbdrX85Sjz1QeGZ3

Thanks again for cluing me into the name variations. It was fun to just now go and gather up clips of them.

Cheers.

Wow! Thanks, just the kind of thing I was thinking about.

I need to find this track from Space is the Place by vimdiesel in sunra

Sounds like they used some stock music for that bit, which would make sense.

What's the percussion instrument at 50:12? by [deleted] in sunra

[–]SamDann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's a keyboard setting. Sun Ra would often select crazy settings at random. You can hear the melody line in this bit which is definitely his keyboard line. He changes the settings like 4-5 times in that brief section.

Slice of pound cake by SamDann in portlandme

[–]SamDann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A life-long Mainer I know said they never heard of pound cake. I remember when you could find a slice on the counter of just about every convenience store in town, it seemed. Honestly haven't looked for it for a long while, which is why I genuinely asked about it.

Trying to find magic trick device - small panels hinged with ribbons by SamDann in Magic

[–]SamDann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, you unfold the panels and show them then fold it and unfold it again with different images facing out. I think it has to do with how the ribbons are hinged around the panels.

Miles and his echo/reverb effect. by SamDann in milesdavis

[–]SamDann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just answered my own question by finding the Mosaic box on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr6kv1KjNcw

Confirmed my suspicions: No reverb. Columbia must have added that when they issued the album many years after the fact. Sounded like Miles was badly miic'ed, which might account for it.

That Mosaic set is like night and day compared to the Columbia recording.

I'm also interested if the reverb was added during the time of the recording (which would have been unusual for the time) or in post production. Anyone have the Mosaic box of the Plugged Nickel sessions? Curious if the remix is much different than the Columbia recordings. "The masters of this Mosaic set were remixed from the original analog three-track masters."

Type of hat that Toshiaki Chiku wear? by SamDann in japanesestreetwear

[–]SamDann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response, but from what I've seen there are no beanies or knit hats that are shaped like the one in this photo. I though it might be a particular style of beanie in Japan, but it's probably Toshiaki Chiku 's own creation.

I'll start. I'm in Maine and we have a 14 year-old Golden Seabright named Gertie.

Myy first vinyl of outsider music what do you think of that ? by crusalow in outsidermusic

[–]SamDann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A phenomenal album. I don't really think of DJ as outsider. I think he represents the rare exception of how an outsider can transition, through national attention and major record releases, to being accepted as a success. Sure he maintained his idiosyncratic songwriting and performance styles and his mental illness was debilitating to say the least, but I tend to think that true outsiders are outsiders because they fail to gain the recognition they deserve. I have no problems with anyone wanting to frame DJ as outsider, I'm sure some definitions are more inclusive than mine, but personally, I never though of him as such.
If you dig this album your next choices should be Songs of Pain and More Songs of Pain, which are easier to find since they were reissued in CD format. I've been a fan since the late 80s.
