What are you listening to right now?

BTW, QuHno, what immediately came to mind with your inverted default Avatar is Bullwinkle the Moose. Well, I don't know if you're familiar with who that is, but if not, you can Google it.
-
funny that - now that you say it i recognize it too that it looks indeed a little bit moosy
btw: I am listening now to Nigel Kennedy's 1st CD version of "The Four Seasons" - and now all of the hardcore classic fans may pick up the stones to throw them at me, but I still prefer that interpretation instead of others, especially because he does not follow the score to 100%.

Tommy James & the Shondells
Crystal Blue Persuasion
Crimson & Clover (The long version) -
Tobacco Road
by Eric Burdon and WAR
Though there are many versions of this John D. Loudermilk song. Lou Rawls, Spooky Tooth, the Animals. Burden's version with WAR was the firs time I heard it and has a special place in my collection .
-
Weather Report - Birdland (of course on vinyl - the CD wasn't invented at that time and the modern "remastered" versions don't get the sound right)
… and after all the years I still can't decide which version is better: The original from Weather Report or the one from The Manhattan Transfer.
-
Hmmm??? Birdland, huh?
By Weather Report and by The Manhattan Transfer, Eh?I wonder if it's the same Birdland as the one with which I am very familiar with Maynard Ferguson?
Is the Birdland you're talking about an instrumental? Jazz?
-
I also have a Birdland version by Quincy Jones.
-
The two songs that immediately come to mind with The Manhattan Transfer are - Soul Food to Go, which I have on a cassette and Boy from New York City.
-
The Weather Report version (with Jaco Pastorius!) is the original version, you could call the style jazz-fusion and yes it is instrumental, The Manhattan Transfer is the version with text and singing.
Quincy Jones?
Hm… I just listened to it at YT and it doesn't seem to have have the same drive as the older versions, but may be I've got the wrong version ...The Maynard Ferguson version is a bit too much big-band sound for my taste, but it is a good interpretation, It just happens that I like the original better, it is more "in your face", if you know what I mean
edit: About the other Manhattan Transfer songs: Big fan here, I think I have all of the LPs and CDs they have ever officially released and "Extensions" even signed by them.
