Traded in some stuff at Vintage Stock and picked up Jean-Luc Ponty - Canteloupe Island. He is joined by George Duke, Ian Underwood and Frank Zappa.

Also picked up Derek Trucks Band - Soul Serenade.

I looked for some of the things suggested in the other thread, but didn't have much luck.

Regards,

D-Ray

I'm guessing that doesn't suck?

You'd be right! Canteloupe Island, Aurora and King Kong are all really good Jean Luc Ponty albums, all with varying amounts of Zappa influence.

One side is something I have looked for - one of Zappa's avante garde classical/jazz hybrid compositions - "Music for Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra."

It doesn't have a high WAF though. After I played one side, my wife went upstairs. But she was considerate enough not to complain, because she knew I wanted to listen to the new stuff.

Regards,

D-Ray

This track also appears on King Kong.

Blood Sweat and Tears - S/T

This is another recent bargain bin acquisition. I hadn't listened to BS&T in any real depth, so I wasn't aware of the level of jazz influence on their work - at least as reflected on this album. That shows the downfall of "greatest hits" compilations. I had picked up a "BS&T" greatest hits album when I was a kid, and that served my perception of their work. (Of course, at that time, I didn't have the gear to hear the full texture of the music either.) It's a lot of fun to gain a new perspective after all of those years.

Regards,

D-Ray
