James Carter is a bedrock in smooth jazz/quiet storm music. From the women themselves, I hear--a hot bath with the kids elsewhere, some candles and aromatics, and somebody like JC in the background--all the pain of life may not go away but it sure is held at bay for awhile.
L.A. Workshokp is one of those ad-hoc, put -together-for the-occasion groups. AMG has a nice write-up on them...and look at the players!
Rebecca Parris is a singer that just makes my heart melt and tears to follow. Whoever left them for me to find had serious good taste.
Hagfish--Took a real flyer on this one--worked out well for me both musically and at The Usual Suspect: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hagfish-mn0000661226/biography
Nuyorican Soul--Not a Fania Records Latin pop record comp (as great as they are)==no, this is Latin jazz, some kind of advanced. An unexpected pleasure-- I bought it because the cover art was the same as cigar box cover art.

Wow, nice buys Jazzy!


What Did You Buy? - Ruby - 17-08-2015

What happens when waves of ZZ Top’s Fandango! played with extra loud abandon, and absolutely no distortion, on a cracking vintage system, arrest you as you’re walking past a shop you had no intention of entering? Blithely ignoring the budget, I now own these two records (and never the twain shall meet), LOL! Very pleased to add some more of John Renbourn & Co.

THE PIXIES "Doolittle"

Yeah – it is an eye-catching cover. There are some amusing sketches on the back too – of creatures thought to be the relatives of the Horn-Swooped Bungo Pony, and other such curiosities, courtesy of the ‘New York Museum of Diz-Bustology’, and ‘The Underbelly Institute’!

Oddly enough, Transformer was directly behind today’s purchase in the record rack. I might buy it if only for "Perfect Day", but naturally, something completely different caught my eye!!

This was apparently inspired by a visit to the Nambung National Park, Western Oz.
