The "What Are You Listening To Right Now?" Thread

[Steven J. Gross]

Rosie Vela: "Zazu". Arrived at A&M in 1986, and sank without a trace. Even the all-star cast (Gary Katz producing; Donald Fagen, Walter Becker, Rick Derringer, Jimmy Haslip, Larry Fast, Jim Keltner, and others) didn't rescue it from obscurity. Closest thing to a Steely Dan reunion we had in 1986...

I was pretty excited about that album- what happened to her???

 

[TonyCurrie]

Barry McGuire - "Eve of Destruction"...........

The Alan Parsons Project...THE DUTCH COLLECTION (disk 3)

Univisible took a long time for me to get into. Some of the songs have really good grooves.

 

[Steven J. Gross]

Baja Marimba Band- the "Fresh Air" CD- LOVE IT, did not really LOVE it till the CD- It is really cool. Now it's a fave BMB album..

 

[Rudy]

Just finished: Bill Withers, "Menagerie" on CD. Think I'll do Pat Metheny's "Secret Story" next.

 

[Rudy]

"Now, ROCHESTER!"

Now playing--Donald Fagen, "The Nightfly", German LP pressing.

 

[Rudy]

Peter Gabriel's fourth album (which the diehard PG fan in me refuses to call "Security"), on SACD. The smoke has just cleared from playing "Rhythm Of The Heat", first time I've ever heard it with the subwoofer. WHOA!

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Today's vehicle CD: Boz Scaggs - SILK DEGREES (remastered version)

 

[Rudy]

Donald Fagen: Morph The Cat DVD-A.

 

[Rudy]

Bill Withers: Watching You Watching Me (finally found the CD, cheap!)

 

[DAN BOLTON]

Herb Alpert, ZAZUEIRA...Shorty Rogers was a musical genius!!!

This album is pretty good. I'm guessing the applause was overdubbed onto the record...?

Indeed it was. Same way that there are overdubs on the Pete Jolly "Give A Damn" album: the horns on that album are overdubbed, as is the wild applause on the title track. (I mean, c'mon, that kind of applause at a jazz club? Sheesh. ) The other applause is real, and more what you'd hear in Jolly's typical "trio" gigs.

 

[Rudy]

Burt Bacharach: Futures, from the Hip-O Select box.

 

[Mr Bill]

Avalanches "Since You've Gone"

--Mr Bill
"and he also made false teeth..."

Rosie Vela: "Zazu". Arrived at A&M in 1986, and sank without a trace...

[I was pretty excited about that album- what happened to her???

I guess she didn't have a rosie career as an A&M artist!

Missed your earlier post...

Here's a site someone pointed me to that had a lot of information about her (including a story of how Steely Dan got reunited):
