Ashley Kahn Kind Of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece Book
lab price: $15.00 available: yes item #: bk-1162	2007 edition, featuring a new afterword by author Ashley Kahn. Kind Of Blue is the most popular straight-jazz album of all time, the one that even those people who don't really listen to jazz but want to seem smart, hip and cultured... expand review can connect with. Even 45 years after its initial release in August 1959, it remains the standard-bearer for an entire culture, and continues to sell in the neighborhood of 100,000 copies a year. This book is part of a recent tendency in music-related publishing, the "making of" study of classic albums. No matter how many times you've heard this record, Ashley Kahn's thorough and impassioned excavation of the facts and details regarding its creation, and the context in which it was made, will fascinate and enlighten. Not a mean feat considering that everybody on the record except the drummer is now dead, as well as most of the CBS staffers and engineers who were present at those two historic sessions in March and April of 1959. The book studies each of the five tracks on Kind Of Blue in hair-splitting detail, and also provides an excellent perspective on the jazz and popular-music industries of the day. Rare, never-before-seen pictures that must be seen to be believed seal the deal. 230 pages. -greg caz

De La Soul Shoomp (J.Dilla) 12"
Blacksmith format: 12" lab price: $6.00 available: yes item #: hh-859	quick audio picks: 1 2 If you're like me, you'll always have a soft spot for Plugs 1, 2 & 3, but the times of running out to cop their new shit the day it comes out is recent history. They must be aware of this decline,... expand review cause they took no chances on this 12". First off they got Jay Dee producing both sides. The B-side "Much More(1)" flips an unidentified soul sample with Trugoy getting down and dirty (sorry Pos), an intro from Premier, and some girl named Yummy singing the chorus. The A-side "Shoomp(2)" flips the Tom Tom Club's "Genius Of Love" again, and I think Dilla is the only one talented enough to get away with that at this point (ed.note: jms loves dilla). It also enlists cameo whore of the moment Sean Paul, and has been getting a lot of luv in the club the last couple months. Instrumentals are included for both songs along with the acapella, clean and dirty versions. If nothing else, buy it for the fact that it's on De La's label and they deserve your patronage. -JMS
