Cannonball Adderley Quintet
"Money in the Pocket"
Cannonball in Japan

To the sweet and lovely cousin of Roy McCurdy, Cannonball's drummer, who called from Rochester, NY: Yes, he was in Japan with the band. The website link above not only gives the whole lineup, but has photos of a rare red vinyl copy of the album. ...Not that I'm lusting after it or anything.

"Daphne Everybody's Calling"
Reworking Daphne Oram
If you don't know who Daphne Oram is, you're not alone...but that don't make it right. Most people think electronic music belongs to the kids, but they couldn't be more mistaken. Daphne Oram pioneered this stuff (and was often labeled some kinda nutjob for it) back in the mid 1940s. Her eventual style was called Oramics. And it is amazingly beautiful, these 60 years later.
