1964 was a good year ...

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Apparently by The Isley Brothers .. see/listen here. Bear in mind Lulu was a wee tender 15 year old at the time ... her backing band were The Luvers.


But back on the jazz track ... really loved that last Coltrane album .. .in fact I like it so much I bought the album! Dig the cover art too

When I last had a TV about five years ago, Dame Lula was interviewed on the Alan Titchmarsh show...(slow frozen snow day in Wales)...and I was surprised just how attractive and natural she now looked. I said this to my partner who sneered, "you are so bloody naive, she's had shed loads of face work done!" Lulu try to con Alan Titchmarsh?

Never. He was the confession Pope of drunk afternoon TV.

I really dig the backing! I find Lulu's wiggles somewhat mechanical, but she was/is a lovely lassie.
I guess it was a cover of some US Soul artist- Ray Charles and the Raylettes?

Lulu was my dad's final crush, as he entered second childhood.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Coltrane's greatest album? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EWiuhpCZAE

I would tend to also go with "Crescent" against ALS...but my most played Tranes are "Coltrane", the first Qrt album on Impulse and "Transition" where tbe classic Qrt is starting to shake itself apart. All remarkable and on another level.

AND...Booker in Space...

Booker Ervin (ts) Jaki Byard (p)
Richard Davis (b) Alan Dawson (d)
recorded Rudy Van Gelder Studio,
Englewood Cliffs, NJ, October 2, 1964


Music
"An Amazon reviewer of Space
Book (Evil Silver Disk Edition ) chose
good words and put them in exactly
the right order, which I will borrow:
“Booker’s melancholy sound is the
strange marriage of primordial blues-
wail with avant-garde harmonics . But
behind him is something even more
marvelous: Jackie Byard is as
harmonically inventive as Monk in
accompaniment. Richard Davis
provides a contrapuntal melody, not
just a bass line. And Dawson’s
drums are so melodic they are like
another line of counterpoint. He
doesn’t just keep time, he enriches
the ensemble with something like
harmonic percussion “

Thanks for the link. Part of my education. Not being such a jazz freak, I only had two Coltrane albums - Love Supreme and Favorite Things.

The Space Book contains one of the truly great performances of 'I can't get started'. I've loved that album ever since I got a copy in the late sixties.
