Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio.     Tonight for your delectation, here’s an old favourite of ours from our LP collection in the studio: Jazz Blues Fusion, an album that features John Mayall, Freddy Robinson, Larry Taylor, Ron Selico, Blue Mitchell, and Clifford Solomon, and which was recorded during two live concerts in Boston & New York, in 1971.

  2. Hot, hot, hot, a breathtaking music. One is reminded one of the tavern at the old King Eddy in the 90’s of the 20th century.
    Perhaps Vitruvius is familiar with that.

  3. LP’s? You sure they’re not 78’s?… You know, all those old scratchy disks that made such good ‘target practice’ back then that we’d now give our eye teeth for to have them in our retro collections? ;( (sigh)

  4. Aye, the King Eddy, Lev! I’m glad you like tonight’s selections.

    By the time of the recording of Jazz Blues Fusion, Snagglepuss, 78 RPM pressings were (to the best of my knowledge) long since no longer being pressed. We do have a small selection of vinyl and cellulose 10″ 78s, a small collection of 7″ vinyl 45s, and a medium collection of 12″ vinyl 33 and 1/3 RPM long- playing pressings here in the studio, and a 16″ 33 and 1/3 RPM vinyl of ten tunes by Connie Page and the Page Cavanaugh Trio, in NAB standard format YTH-2193 (though I don’t know if there is any equipment left in the world capable of playing it); JBF however we have only in the 12″ vinyl and compact disc formats.

  5. For you who forgot where Kate posted those eye-popping 35 photo series of the Volcano photos….

  7. I was wondering how long it would take for someone in the Rahim Jaffer crew to start screaming “Racism,Racism”!
    I’m actually suprised it took so long.
    Can you believe those White Devils in the evil Canadian government wouldn’t cut your company a cheque for $100 million for your Green Energy proposals,eh Mister Patrick Glemaud.
    What’s next?

  8. Vit- I’m sure you’re right on that. Would surprise me not if late 50’s or perhaps very early 60’s saw the last of the 78s.
    Pity there was no sense of nostalgia(?) or preservation of the past yet kindled as so much good stuff got trashed. All that polka, swing, big-band, ethnic- Ukrainian, German, Italian….gonzo.
    The old Motorola or RCA [cabinet style w/crank, changeable needles, (no megaphone though)] in the shed or the hayloft provided hours of entertainment for curious, not-so-preservation-minded young lads.
    When the 45’s and LP’s came about, time to embrace the new technology; get rid of the old. Criminal, it really was!
    Guess that’s happening again with the vinyl craze. Well this time, I’m ready. My retirement plan-four decades of LP’s comes through! Who needs mutuals?

  9. Hey Vito … much more to my taste than Mr. Ostenak.
    I was just looking over my collection and re-found the 70th birthday concert.
    Now … I thought Mayall was an old fart back in 1971. And yet … he still is getting records released (and is touring)

  10. If you were ever a regular at the King Eddy during its heyday as a blues bar, we have probably crossed paths.
    I sure miss it.

  12. Liberal leader Ignatieff defends his integrity over lies that promote his book.Yeah right,I had no idea,—=http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/04/23/ignatieff-book-blurbs.html

  13. Excellent music … Today’s music, [most of], seems to lack so much. I hear it and never want to replay it.. can’t remember it..
    Tip… of the new iceberg.
    This is why massive power projects may be massive mistakes. Business wants to sell you your own power plant.

    An ambitious project was unveiled in Germany on Wednesday to install mini gas-fired power plants in people’s basements and produce as much electricity as two nuclear reactors in the coming years.
    The Hamburg-based renewable energy group Lichtblick and its automaker partner Volkswagen say the plants would produce not only heating and hot water but also electricity, with any excess power fed into the local grid.

    I just hate their business model…they want to lease..not sell. However, when the tech gets good and small, and it will, you can say goodbye to site C dam or wind farms, power stations, towers, transformers and monthly bills.
    Your heating is included in the unit, so no oil bills either.
    This is just one example. There are others. I chose this one because ya gotta think reality when Volkwagon talks.
    BC’s Gordon Campbell sudden urge to build the massive site C dam may be EGO. Makes no sense.
    The aluminium plant left Kitimat. They didn’t take the power dam with them. Cooking bauxite for aluminium takes massive amounts of power. That power now goes to the grid. No power shortage in BC!
    California is a Billion-plu$ behind in paying for past energy. If we build Site C for them, will we ever collect?
    Will home power plants become common in California? The first place where new technology is most likely to become popular. Site C ain’t clean if it ain’t needed.
    How long before you can by your all-in-one power / heating plant at Canadian Tire?

  14. Very revealing comment by Doug Finley over at Stephen Taylor’s, with praise for all the work the Blogging Tories are doing:
    http://www.stephentaylor.ca/2010/04/questions-about-frank-graves/#disqus_thread
    Stephen
    I don’t have a blog (perhaps I should) – and sometimes find it technically difficult (I spend most of my time on my Blackberry) to respond to the wonderful stuff that the Conservative bloggers do. So I am addressing some comments to you.
    The time, energy, research and passion that Blogging Tories add to the political debate in this country amazes me. I follow as much as I can, and as often as I’m able.
    Off the top, like Kory Teynecke, I will openly admit to being a Conservative.
    If I may, I’d like to offer some personal comments on the major blogging stories over the last few days.
    I note that in the CBC response to you extolling the neutral virtues of their journalists that they seem to have forgotten about Krista Erickson. Perhaps it’s selective amnesia. I’d certainly recommend all bloggers to take a look at Lorne Gunter’s recent article on CBC. I have done some research on CBC – research that I will share with Canadians soon – on the CBC. CBC, like Aricle 13 of the Human Rights Act was a well-intentioned, now stretched and dated, imperative. The original intent of both has been so widened, and uncontrolled, that they have become parodies of themselves.
    The Grits have become so scared on these and other endeavours that we are exposing that they are becoming almost apopelectic. Witness the Senator Grant Mitchell reply to my request for a reasoned, non-partisan debate on “The Erosion of Freedom of Speech in Canada”. It was offensive, trivialising and overtly political.
    This blends with the Graves advice to Liberals to create a “cultural” war in Canada.
    Let’s get nasty, divisive, and ugly. That’s the message.
    The leader of the Liberal Party (whoever that is) has determined to whip his caucus on the subject of the Long Gun Registry, knowing that a significant number of his members are rightly opposed to it.
    I see this as the opening salvo in the Liberal campaign plan to create a a divisive war between all parts and segments of Canadian life.
    Anything to get back to power.
    I’d also note the passing of Bill 232 – the requirement to make Bilingualism (to an extreme technical degree) mandatory for Supreme Court Justices. I have been told by Liberal MPs that this was allowed to pass to create mischief for the Conservative Party. This is the ugliest form of divisive politics – and certainly plays to the advice proffered to the Liberal Party by Mr. Graves. There are a number of Liberal Senators who have expressed dismay to me that this now been placed in the hands of the Senate.
    I guess what I am trying to say in short form, is that the Liberal strategy of a “cultural war” with all of its concommitant ugliness doesn’t surprise me – we’ve seen this building for a while. Frank Graves’ comments merely underline it.
    I guess that this is the political reality that the Grits want to take power on. I find it extremely disappointing.
    I can assure you that, as always, the Conservative Party will fight the next election openly on what is best for all Canadians. As always.
    I look forward to the the efforts of all Blogging Tories in helping us do that.

    a Book Review and Cover Story.

    “Raves for Ignatieff book bogus
    By Joan Bryden, THE CANADIAN PRESS
    Politicians frequently claim their remarks are distorted and taken out of context by the media.
    But in a sharp reversal of roles, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff now finds himself accused of taking the media out of context to promote paperback sales of his latest book, “True Patriot Love.”
    The jacket of the book trumpets a number of excerpts from newspaper critiques that leave the impression the tome won rave reviews when first published last spring.
    Take this snippet from the National Post: “Plenty of scope for a rich story … Some wonderful anecdotes, particularly about George P. Grant … Well written.”
    In fact, the Post review in its entirety was far from laudatory.
    “True Patriot Love offers little that is new on the Grants save some wonderful anecdotes, particularly about George P. Grant. As an exploration of patriotism, it offers up cliches about modern Canada but little more,” wrote Post reviewer Robert L. Fraser.
    “True Patriot Love is a well-written disappointment.”
    Conservatives pounced Friday on the discrepancy as further evidence of Ignatieff’s alleged unfitness for political office.
    “This is the type of dishonesty that not even a first-year university student could get away with,” Alberta Tory MP Chris Warkentin told the House of Commons.
    “I am wondering if the leader of the Opposition really believes that this is honesty or if this is maybe a case of deceitfulness.””

  18. Great record, haven’t played it in decades, but I can still remember a guy shouting:
    “Room To Move!!! Room To Move!!!”
    “No, there’s no more Room To Move…that’s all way in the past. What, did you come to hear an old record or something?”
    He brought a lot of white boys like me to the blues.

    “Canada wins on world stage as bank tax shunned
    WASHINGTON — After weeks of voicing its disdain for a global bank tax, Canada scored a victory on the international stage Friday after the Group of 20 countries opted against the kind of levy championed by Europe and the International Monetary Fund.
    Finance and central bank officials from the G20 met in Washington, where they suggested policy makers from the world’s major economies refocus their efforts on ensuring core elements of the financial reform agenda are dealt with. That means cooling any talk of a tax.
    This is the case Jim Flaherty, the Finance Minister, made in the lead-up to this key gathering, and echoed this week by Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney who called the debate a “distraction.”
    The official G20 communiqué indicated the majority of the major economies sided with Canada.”

  21. That report is on the CBC News web site main page as a “Top Headline”, so unless either the CBC is not part of the MSM, or the main page of the CBC News web site is about “business”, then your “MSM files this under ‘Business’” assertion is, in this case, incorrect, Maz2.

  23. Gument pensions funds, in Canada, were stolen by the Liberanos a few years ago – to pay down debt (wink, wink) – ; if I recall correctly. Happened at about the same time a the Liberanos stole the Unemployment Insurance ‘surplus’ – I have watched the HOC debates for years, so I remember the general drift of events, just no links to facts. I can find them if anyone wants them.
    A strange thing about CPAC – in the Northwestel Chanel television guide, here in the Yukon, this Chanel’s itinerary is always explained in French. The schedule is never described in English…things that make me go hummm? Maybe some people do not want English Canadians watching CPAC. Mr Bagnel, Senator Lang….time to contact your favorite monopoly (NWT)!

  24. Liberal PET Cemetery’s multiculturalism is devouring its own Liberals.
    Dr. PET Frankenstein’s monster has turned on its Liberal creator and its left-Liberal disciples.
    Stand back. Enjoy.

    “Threats against Dosanjh ‘cowardly:’ de Jong
    B.C.’s attorney general calls online threats against Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh “despicable” and “cowardly,” and warns the perpetrators they are not out of the reach of law enforcement.
    Police are investigating postings made on Facebook that said Dosanjh should be shot and labelled him a “Sikh traitor.”
    http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/04/23/bc-de-jong-dosanjh-threats.html
    Mike de Jong, who is also the acting solicitor general in B.C., said in Vancouver on Friday that the perceived anonymity of the internet is flawed.”
