Vinyl Night Playlist from December

To quote the Dells, who we unfortunately didn't get a chance to play at our electrifying Vinyl Night session of Dec. 27th, "Oh What a Night" it was! We played classic blues and R&B, remembering Hubert Sumlin and Howard Tate; British rock at its most eccentric (Roy Wood's Wizzard); rootsy post-psychedelic American album-rock (Goose Creek Symphony); two of jazz's finest sonic explorers ever, Anthony Braxton with Max Roach; and so much more. Conversation at times was heated -- as to whether the Shaggs qualified as outsider-art rock or mere novelty act, for example. And some cuts were surprises, such as the superbly arranged "She's Everything" by Ral Donner, one of the many moody Elvis-influenced crooners of the early 1960s; and Ed Sanders' prescient "Yodeling Robot."


Our next Vinyl Night is Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. sharp at H.D. Beans & Bottles Cafe on the Kennedy Heights/Silverton border. Any questions, contact me or Technical Director Neil Sharrow at lastsafari@fuse.net. And thanks to JP Pfister for designing our playlist -- we hope he will be returning to Vinyl Night soon.

Sincerely,

Steven Rosen
