RIP, indeed. Axelrod was a goddamned genius.

JtotheK:

Hi Duane. Thanks for spinning Axelrod tunes today. I have been digging out various LPs he worked on to play around the house. Also his interview in Wax Poetics (spanning 2 issues!) was pretty great, will be re-reading.

Hi Duane and all. Axelrod is the greatest, his two "Songs of" LPs are desert island discs for me

I could think of no one else to do proper justice to the legacy of Mr. Aexlrod than Duane. Bring it on, sir.

erm , "Axelrod". Sorry about that.

Hi Danny! Both "Songs Of" are fantastic. I also really like 'Earth Rot'. I've never found a copy of 'Seriously Deep', so that one I'm not familiar with.

The breadth of David Axelrod's career is amazing. I hope you'll visit some of his work with Beach Blanket Bingo singer Donna Loren, just for fun!

*Note to self: give a listen to The Four King Cousins 'Introducing' ... been a while since I've listened to that LP.*

Thank you for taking us on a trip to the AXE! RIP David Axelrod. Not too familiar with his output but I know some of his classics.

@ChrisB -- regarding Donna Loren - her Axelrod-produced 45 '90 Day Guarantee' is a good one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:18pm
Little Danny:

Even as a huge Axelrod devotee it's crazy how many productions of his I still keep hearing. Duane played something by Pride recently and it kinda floored me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:21pm
ChrisB.:

@Jto: Oh yes! That's on her Complete Capitol Recordings comp.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:25pm
Little Danny:

Goes without saying but epic set so far Duane!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:26pm
Passaic River Blues:

His boundless vision is what always stunned me: beautiful but never gratuitous string arrangements, jazz approach to highlight individual parts to cohere into a whole, respect for expressive & full percussion, similar respect to the bassist as more than the plodding tertiary aspect of the rhythm section, I guess his respect for each musician (studio guys/hip rock dudes/vocalists), avoiding kitsch & melding rock-jazz-soul-cinematic soundscapes into something organic & unique, ability to shift from studio to live situations, and a readiness and enthusiasm for unusual subject matter, styles, players.

KRYPT:

Hi Duane, Thanx for all the Axelrod he is so all over my entire music collection, he was a one of a kind.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm
Gaylord Fields:

@JtotheK: The Four King Cousins LP, as excellent as it is, is not an Axelrod production. That was done by Lex de Azevedo, who some took as a pseudonym of Axelrod but is his own man (and a member of the King Family himself).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:50pm
Little Danny:

One o' my fave Axelrod obscurities is a '64 Capitol 45 by the Vulcanes; "Moon Probe" is a surf-y guitar instro but with a majestic arrangement and sense of physical space like only Axe could do
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm

And we haven't even visited Mister Lou Rawls yet!

@GaylordFields -- re: Four King Cousins - wow, thanks for correcting! As you mentioned - I had read/heard it was produced by him under a pseudonym.

Good one bob! That track was actually produced by Hugh Masekela..no small slouch either!

Either that or Paint Your Wagon
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm
Gaylord Fields:

@JtotheK: An understandable misconception, considering the name and production similarities of the two Capitol producers. I'm sure de Azevedo was paying close attention to what his cohort Axe was doing.
