Nothing Like the Sun Mix

Nothing Like the Sun - Live at Coco66 - Friday February 4, 2011 - Part II by h34dup

I'm on vacation this week so I will leave the music selections up to those who are on duty.  I came across this deep disco mix from Headup/Alex Koplin that has some real head nodding potential.  Great for the east coast heat right now.  The Tornado Wallace Remix around 35 minutes makes me want to wear a white visor around town.  Hope your summers are going well.

Days of Wine & Roses

Feeling quite Parisian lately.  Here's a little mix for a leisurely sunny afternoon.

Inspired by white wine, gruyere and Portland's many public parks. 

1. Django Reinhardt - I'll See You in My Dreams (The Best of Django Reinhardt, 1996) 
2. Monarch Jazz Allstars feat. ‘The King’ – Lover Come Back to Me (Monarch 10”)
   "Just infuse it with love." 
   
3. Lydia Mendoza – Mal Hombre (Crazy Heart, 2010) 
   
4. Billie Holiday - Did I Remember (The Quintessential Billie Holiday Vol. II, 1936)
5. Devendra Banhart – Quedate Luna (Cripple Crow, 2005) 
6. Wes Montgomery – Days of Wine and Roses (Boss Guitar, 1991)
7. Irma Thomas – Take a Look (Take a Look, 1968)

   Excellent guitar solo here.

10. Emilio de Benito - Granada (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, 2004)
11. Dire Straits – Romeo and Juliet (Making Moves, 2000)
    On a big Dire Straits kick recently. 
    Although I wish they had looped the lick at 4:53 and went into a sprawling jam.
