Clark Terry:The Happy Horns of Clark Terry
Impulse! US 1964
The undisputed happiest flugelhorn in jazz and a stalwart of the Duke Ellington Orchestra in the 50s
This album with Ben Webster is every bit as enjoyable as the cover advertises

A legend.
Effortless & joyous authentic live jazz with Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. Surprisingly-hard-to-find-in-original-collectible-condition, it brings me so much joy every time...

Hole:Live through this
Geffen/City Slang, GE 1994
Whatever you think of Courtney Love, this powerful, defiant & sometimes angry rock album still holds its own among many strong releases that year.
(Love the timeless anthem "Rock Star" 👊)

Sinéad O’Connor: Universal Mother
Ensign, UK 1994
The most consequential musician for the last 40 years. The force and beauty of her music and voice are unparalleled.
We did not deserve her, but The Bastards never really got her down..😥

The Beach Boys:Summer Days
Capitol, US 1965
Part of the transition from surf to enshrinement in the Music Pantheon with Pet Sounds. Not totally satisfactory, but very enjoyable with hints of greatness.
My favourite Beach Boys album cover.

Big Star:# 1 Record
Ardent, US 1972
The birth of power-pop and an enduring legacy from a bygone era. With The Clash, my favourite band from the 70s.
Marvel at "Thirteen" perfectly and poignantly capturing your youth

@throwingmuses.bsky.social :The Real Ramona
(4AD, UK 1991)
THE quintessential indie-rock band at their absolute peak.
🥇 Pop-tunes tweaked by "that" alt-rock-sound.
(Kristin Hersh: strong & ongoing catalogue + a book on Vic Chesnutt, IKYN)

Douh Dillard & Gene Clark: The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark
(A&M, US 1968)
A great songwriters album and in my opinion Gene Clarks finest hour. An early example of alt-country/americana. Gotta love that cover 😃...

Paul Bley: Footloose
(Savoy, US 1963)
A very original - and sometimes quite aggressive - pianist Paul Bley was integral to the free jazz movement from the get go.
This is among his most accessible records...

US 80s retro rock/psych/garage bands! Yay😎!
This glorious unpolished debut helped the garage retro revival. Nice hair guys!

The Posies were sort of a 1990s cousin to Big Star. This superb album superimposes grunge guitars upon psych powerpop. What's not to like 😎?

Impulse, US 1965
Trane is well into the realm of free jazz here. The loud screeching organized chaos of side A is not for casual listening but highly rewarding. I defy you to "meditate" to this though..😬
