Roumanian Not, But Cool Too.

Not bad. But try also this Italian/Romanian jazz. For instance, "Old Plum Drink". Should put you in the mood for some tsuica from an old coke bottle. After a while, you'll be able to see photons as they travel through the bottle.

Charlie Rouse always out of this world.

Chuck, Monk was fair to good too, eh?
Tecs, the link won't open for me.

Click on things, man! OK, here is the blurb, in case you have trouble:

Italian pianist Guido Manusardi lived seven years (from 1967 to 1974) in Romania, during which time he performed and recorded regularly. Each of the ten pieces on this album sprout from Romanian melodies, which Manusardi arranges in his inimitable style. Working with a varied and talented Italian octet, consisting of trombone, trumpet, clarinet, saxophones, and rhythm, the pianist, in his own understated way, travels through curves and valleys, with not so unconventional harmonies, to produce music of lasting value.

Here is some info on doina.

Mr roT said...

Manusardi/doina. Download something and put it up somewhere for us to download, cheapo.

Tecumseh said...

Me? Spend money? Pffttt. That will be the day!

OK, here is a doina for free. With Johnny Răducanu and Teodora Enache.

Doina blurb sounds like Portuguese fado. Ask AA.

Tecumseh said...

Perhaps, a bit. Try this, also.

Mr roT said...

Gorgeous Fado. Of course, AA doesn't like it because the poetry mentions España bin Laden.

Nurse Ratched on your case?

Nurse Ratched, Dr. Mengele, Judge Jeffreys. Those are the happy campers who make Herr Rott's Progress such a Brave New World.

My goddam toe hurts.

That's what you get when you don't toe the Party Line.
