kenny garrett-- pursuance: the music of john coltrane- warner bros cd. excellent quartet, with pat metheny, rodney whitaker and brian blade. gord
"Everybody digs Bill Evans" 2CDs
"The Essence of Charlie Parker" 2CDs
I never really got away with either of these musicians but for £10 the pair I thought I'd give them another go
I just got " Tarkus " and " Brain Salad Surgery" by ELP; " Honky Chateau" by Elton John
Hi Colin. I know at first glance this inclusion of Elton John with my two ELP purchases does seem a little odd.:nut: What happened was that Amazon shipped all 3 cds together in one order, even though I had purchased them at different times[obviously the two ELP works}. I will say this, however, I have always liked Elton John, especially during his earlier more serious period when he seemed to be more concerned with politics and societal issues. On this album, the standout song for me is--and always has been--"Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters". I've also enjoyed his first album and Tumbleweed Connection, both of which feature some beautiful ballad writing from Bernie Taupin.:angel: Well, I've tried to defend myself, but can well understand your chagrin. I do hope that your wife is feeling better and has been able to return home. Peace--SteveJeeeeez Steve! Elton John, I don't believe it :banghead:
Yeah Teddy, I guess I'm in Colin's dog-house too, as I like a lot of EJ's stuff, especially his output from earlier and more serious phase of his career { "Burn Down the Mission" and "The King is Dead" readily come to mind}. Given the vast differences in tastes and of opinions is what keeps these discussions so interesting.:up:Steve, I too have some Elton John. I partcularly like Yellow Brick Road. Colin will probably no longer speak to me after that declaration.
