9 Moby Grape
'69 (Sundazed)
Legendary for its psychedelic pow and long legal battles, this San
Francisco band has been screwed again by threatened litigation that
forced Sundazed to pull three of its deluxe Grape reissues: the
classic '67 debut, Moby Grape, and '68's Wow and Grape Jam. Do not
buy substandard editions. Spend the bread on the expanded '69,
still in print. The first of the band's many comeback records, it
is a country-soul and acid-guitar corker that showed, even then,
that no one could keep this great band down.
10 Jazz Icons, Series 2
(Reelin' In The Years/Naxos)
These DVDs of Fifties and Sixties European TV concerts come
individually and boxed (with a bonus disc). Duke Ellington, Sarah
Vaughan, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery and Dave Brubeck are all in
their live prime. John Coltrane pursues the love supreme in "My
Favorite Things" and "Impressions." And in April '64, Charles
Mingus makes some of his last fire music with saxophonist Eric
Dolphy, who died that June.
