Has it been another month already? Yes, it must be, because that goofball Bob has
another covers CD ready to unleash on the world!
So, without further ado, hubbub, or political rhetoric, here is Volume 20 in the
burgeoning, wild, wacky world of Joni covers...it's subtitled "All That Jazz", but it
could have been called "For the Lactose Intolerant", because there's nary a bit o'
cheese to be found. This volume is dedicated to great jazz covers of Joni's stuff, and
frankly I think the whole damn thing is sensational!
Here's what's on it:
1. Mingus Dynasty - Sweet Sucker Dance
2. Mingus Dynasty - The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines
3. Mingus Dynasty - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
4. Mingus Dynasty - A Chair In The Sky
5. Fareed Haque - Woodstock
6. Marc Copland & Tim Hagans - Rainy Night House
7. Benny Goodman - Both Sides Now
8. The Joe Locke Quintet - Blue
9. Ian Shaw & Cedar Walton - Furry Sings The Blues
10. Jon Jang - All I Want
11. Dave Douglas - Same Situation
12. Dave Douglas - My Old Man
I know what you're thinking..."Bob, you crazy bitch, you usually give us 18 or 19
tracks on a CD, now you're just putting out 12!! You're ripping me off, man!"
Rest assured that's not the case...you know these jazzers, once they get wound up it's
sometimes hard to get 'em to clam up 'til they've played for 8 or 9 minutes, but this
one is also 74 minutes long and then some...some outstanding guitars, trumpets, saxes,
keyboards, and others!
And ALL of these tracks are excellent...I find that this disc just flows really well.
There's lots more great Joni jazz on future volumes, but I thought I'd put together
one special one, just for the hell of it!
If you're interested in a copy of this or any other covers volume, lemme know and I'll
hook you up. Euro's, Mr. van Tiel informs me that he is loaded and ready to burn, so
contact him at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and keep him busy so he doesn't spend all his time mooning and swooning! ;~)
And yes, I'll be giving a copy away, so stay tuned for that...
Bob
