Spinning records and trying to not let the bullies win

On #hornyhumpday we’re giving some credit to the LA Express for providing uncredited horns on this 70s gem from Sanford and Townsend, Smoke From A Distant Fire. I bet our host @stylus66.bsky.social knows the L.A. Express were probably best known as the backing band for Tom Scott #nowspinning

#NowSpinning: What happens when you assemble a supergroup of some of the biggest names in jazz to perform a 2-take musical love letter to the era of big band & swing? Pure #HornyHumpDay magic, that's what, and @stylus66.bsky.social is sure to agree.

America’s favourite budtender @elgringofeo.bsky.social always reminds us that #fontefriday is our Gateway to the Weekend.

I’m doing my part by spinning this absolute gem of album. The production is really sweet on this one

Today’s #hornyhumpday spin is some 1923 recordings of King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band featuring one Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong front and centre.

It's #HornyHumpDay hosted by @stylus66.bsky.social and here Hugh is taking center stage. Masekela and Miriam Mabeka did a great thing, bringing South African folk classics to we ignorant masses. I can't imagine life without "Pata Pata" bouncing around the hallways of my head.

Charlie Parker + Max Roach + Verve is a no brainer. Recorded in ‘52 & ‘53 and released three years later after Bird’s passing, it’s a welcome addition to #hornyhumpday and my collection

I've known @stylus66.bsky.social for years, so I wouldn't bring some half-assed semi-tangible brass to his #HornyHumpDay celebration, some trumpet that spends part of its time in an alternate dimension.

We are talking SOLID BRASS, groovers.

#NowSpinning: It's #HornyHumpDay --hosted by Torontonian @stylus66.bsky.social --and Al's having a snack (probably high). Our top brass just got back from listening to two lunatics rave. Right now generals are wrestling with their conscious. Pray for them, if that's your thang.

It’s #hornyhumpday again, your midweek celebration of brass & woodwinds.

Today’s selection is Charles Mingus’ Mingus Ah Um which features some killer sax and trombone

Today’s #hornyhumpday comes with a warning due to extremely vulgar language and references to sex and drugs. In other words, it’s awesome!
Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker recorded a Version X of Think Twice that deserves a listen

#NowSpinning: It's #HornyHumpDay, and according to its founder @stylus66.bsky.social, Louis is the reason why.

Mr. Armstrong and I share an affinity for jazz cigarettes. In fact, that reminds me I gotta roll some dog-walking joints for the coming days...

I’m taking creative liberties with #hornyhumpday today, I hope @stylus66.bsky.social won’t mind the latitude. This Flute Music of The Andes album is uncredited to any specific artist but the pictures and descriptions of the flutes are much more horn-like even if the sound is clearly woodwind.

#NowSpinning: Happy #FonteFriday, groovers! This afternoon I'm headed to my old stomping grounds, the arts district of Nordeast Minneapolis, for a smoke sesh with my friend and former neighbor J-Dog. She's 80 now, not sure how many of these we'll have left.

#NowSpinning: In honor of #HornyHumpDay host @stylus66.bsky.social I'm spinning some Canadian horns today, eh. From Nova Scotia's donairs to Vancouver's BC bud, let the clarion brass cry out with maple-leaf majesty.

Also: pls adopt Minnesota.

#NowSpinning: It's #HornyHumpDay once again, hosted by Toronto's mayor @stylus66.bsky.social , and I'm dragging out the whole hornucopia. Al Hirt So Good seems to be the Marshall of this parade, hide the bricks!

#NowSpinning: Time for another #HornyHumpDay (hosted by @stylus66.bsky.social ), and I'm spinning my favorite hornster, the A of A&M Records, Herb Alpert.

I guess I'm also doxxing the album's original owners, Vic & La Vonne Carlson of Aberdeen, SD. Their loss/my gain.

Welcome one and all to a short week #hornyhumpday

Sure, Sonny Clark is a great piano player but for me the standouts are the trumpet (Tommy Turrentine) and saxes (Charlie Rouse & Ike

I’ve been on a bit of a Big Band swing kick lately with the usual suspects like Ellington, Basie, Prima and Armstrong so it makes sense that I’m spinning the great Cab Calloway for #hornyhumpday

#NowSpinning - Keeping the #HornyHumpDay vibes flowing with some Herb & herb. The Herb is Alpert (& The Tijuana Brass), the herb is Cali Burger.

@rrwscott.bsky.social forever ruined "Mexican Shuffle" for me (he knows what he did), although he'd argue he "enhanced" it.
