Welcome to A&M Corner!
This week's A&M Album Of The Week is from Piper: PIPER (SP-4615). In our A&M/CTi/Horizon Jazz forum, the AOTW is from Cecil Taylor: IN FLORESCENCE (SP-5286). Our Carpenters forum is also featuring "THE OFFICIAL REVIEW", hosted by moderator Chris May, where you can participate in an ongoing discussion about each Carpenters album in detail. This edition: A KIND OF HUSH (SP-4581).
Recent releases of note include the "Rewhipped" version of Whipped Cream and Other Delights, and the new Grammy-nominated Sergio Mendes collaboration with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas: Timeless.
Did You Know? Back in 1986, when all hopes of a Steely Dan reunion were at a low point, little-known model-turned-vocalist/composer Rosie Vela released an album on A&M, Zazu, which featured legendary Steely Dan producer Gary Katz at the helm, and Dan co-founders Walter Becker (guitar) and Donald Fagen (keyboards) playing on the album's tracks. Zazu sank as quickly as its singer, never to be heard from again. Fortunately the two primary musicians went on to greater success, and released one solo album each, as well as the official Steely Dan reunion album, Two Against Nature.
