Three most favorite artists?

Golly, you sure come up with a doozy of a question, yd!

I guess I'd have to say James Blood Ulmer, Solex and Bembeya Jazz National. But that's only valid today, and no snarking from the gallery about, "Well whadyamean? Duke Ellington's your top artist on last!" He asked for my favorite artists, not my most frequently listened to or the ones I respect most.

Yde, you and other interested parties should take Tony's advice¹ and sign up for the mix CD chain here. Then you could get, eventually, a copy of this mix CD, which will totally mess your head up in "perpetual movement."

BTW, I found this group from through James Blood Ulmer connection. :)

ummm. this is difficult.

I'll choose three artists I always go back to after all these years, for various reasons, partially a mystery even to myself. They would be Velvet Underground, Astrud Gilberto and probably Fela Kuti. Even though there are long periods in between I don't listen to them at all.

BTW, speaking of Gilberto, and bossa nova generally, I highly recommend the film Next Stop Wonderland, which is a romantic comedy with a great soundtrack... One of my favorite movies.

My favourite are:

Laghonia
Cementerio Club
Libido

5uu's

Jack Nitzsche

Bruno Maderna

Tshala Muana
John Zorn's covers of Ennio Morricone and
David Murray

John Zorn's covers of Ennio Morricone

Yeah! That was my first John Zorn album--probably read a review in Downbeat or Spin or something when it came out--and everything he's done since has paled in comparison. Dang, I gotta rip that one!

(Well, OK, I did like the first Naked City CD a lot, too.)

Above is the evidence, O talking animal.

but we don't need no stinkin' code, nor badges, n'est-ce pas?

i suppose that's what happens when you are brilliant, yet obscure. (the artistes, not moi)
