Saweeet!

It’s #hornyhumpday so I’m spinning some great jazz from Eddie Condon and His All-Stars. How can you not love a clarinetist named Peanuts Hucko. #vinylsky #Jazzsky

The Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 album Gentleman

#NowSpinning: Getting those #HornyHumpDay vibes (hosted by @stylus66.bsky.social) going with some Afrobeat. This Fela knew his way around the brass, be it horn or sax, just don't accuse him of being a gentleman.

The album Belafonte Sings the Blues

#NowSpinning: It might seem counterintuitive to get into weekend mode with smooth piano blues, but where tf can one go from steel drum music? It is #FonteFriday and all, but playing calypso after a steel band feels like gilding the lily.

The Al Hirt album Struttin' Down Royal Street

#NowSpinning: How easy is it to get to heaven? Big easy! I'm celebrating @stylus66.bsky.social 's #HornyHumpDay with Al Hirt Struttin' (Standin') Down (Up on) Royal Street (Condemned Balcony).

I just picked this up, and it's quick becoming my fave of Al's...

“But Davey……”

Psst, the code word is Snowbird

You know you’re welcome here. Bring Grape Nuts…..

Doc Severinsen's album The Great Arrival

#NowSpinning: It's #HornyHumpDay (hosted by Toronto Gold @stylus66.bsky.social and I picked this up last year because I really liked Doc on The Tonight Show. (Yep, I'm THAT old.) Little did I know he had these kinda chops...

#JazzSky #VinylSky #Vinyl #Brass

There’s some great ones peeking through there!

Harry Connick Jr and his big band orchestra are wishing you a festive #hornyhumpday

Jackie Gleason's album A Taste of Brass for Lovers Only

#NowSpinning: Early Christmas present from @creative-bycolleen.bsky.social , just in time for @stylus66.bsky.social 's #HornyHumpDay. (Plus a couple of lighters, because stoners FUCKING LOVE LIGHTERS! Except those unlucky white lighters--smoke safe my potheads!)

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

The album Echoes of an Era

#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

#vinylsky #musicsky #recordcollector #recordcollection

I don’t partake but I’m a massive Tony Levin fan so I enjoyed this as well!

I didn’t think about it but this might be my oldest recording. I’m going to do some digging….

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

Hugh Masekela's self-titled album

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.

#VinylSky #JazzSky

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

The album Solid Brass by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

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.

#VinylSky #JazzSky #BrassSky #HerbAlpert

Sadly, I currently have no Torme on vinyl

Mad props for the Velvet Fog!

The Al Hirt album Cotton Candy

#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.

#VinylSky #JazzSky

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

#jazzsky #vinylsky #nowplaying #recordcollection #recordcollector

Louis always makes me smile

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

The album The Greatest of Louis Armstrong

#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...

#VinylSky #SwingSky #Vinyl

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.

Harry Belafonte's 20 Greatest Hits

#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.
