1973 – REPRISE
Produced By CHRIS THOMAS
1. Child’s Christmas In Wales
2. Hanky Panky Nohow
3. The Endless Plain Of Fortune
4. Andalucia
5. Macbeth
6. Paris 1919
7. Graham Greene
8. Half Past France
9. Antarctica Starts Here
While a member of The Velvet Underground, John Cale was the out there, avant garde element of the group. Kicked out by Lou Reed in 1968 for wanting to take their music completely over the deep end, Cale embarked on a long and winding solo career that has had its rewards and its major missteps. But his third album, Paris 1919, marked the beginning of his most fruitful and excellent period. Procol Harum producer Chris Thomas brings the strings (The UCLA Symphony), and Little Feat’s Lowell George brings some nice melodic guitar to Cale’s most accessible and beautiful album. Named after the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that many believe was where the seeds of Germany’s Third Reich were planted, this album of surprisingly lovely tracks carries a theme of life in early 20th century Europe. Cale does turn it up a notch for “Macbeth”, but the rest is more peaceful and pop than Cale has ever been, before or since.
The most tuneful songs are the best here. “Hanky Panky Nohow”, “Andalucia”, and especially the title track could have been hits for Cale, and they stand up very well so many years later. The period for Cale between this album in 1973 through his next three albums, Fear, Slow Dazzle and Helen Of Troy, are his strongest, but it’s on Paris 1919 where you get to hear him at his best as a writer. The man known as rock’s strange viola player got it mostly right here, and while many of his other works can be somewhet alienating, this album stays strong and coherent. John Cale may have been a secondary player in the Velvet’s to Reed, but after he was gone, his absence was not a minor thing. This is as good as you’ll hear John Cale, and it’s a great place to start (outside of the Velvet’s early albums, of course) with one of rock’s greatest eccentrics and creative forces.

1961 – PRESTIGE
Produced By BOB WEINSTOCK
1. Surrey With The Fringe On Top
2. Salt Peanuts
3. Something I Dreamed Last Night
4. Diane
5. Well, You Needn’t
6. When I Fall In Love
On two dates in 1956, Miles Davis and his band went into the studio and recorded enough material to flesh out four future albums: Relaxin’, Cookin’, Workin’, and Steamin’. Of the four, Steamin’ concentrates more on the improvisational dynamic of the group, and is the least desirable of the four. This does not mean that this is a bad album by any means…it just means that it’s the only one of the four that is not flawless. After all, Davis isn’t maybe the most important recording artist in history for no reason. He’s a giant, and he is because he made more great music than pretty much anyone else could ever even dream about. The Quintet of these 1956 sessions is bolstered not only by the legendary Philly Joe Jones, Red Garland and Paul Chambers, but also by the power of saxophonist John Coltrane. The interplay between Davis and Coltrane during this period is exceptional, laying the groundwork for the future growth of jazz is so many ways.
The weakest moment here is Dizzy Gillespie’s “Salt Peanuts”. A great song is a great song, but overdone is overdone. “When I Fall In Love” is simply beautiful, with Davis and Red Garland taking sweet turns on the solo. But the best of this period, and of this album, is the pure joy of having Davis and Coltrane in the studio together. Coltrane plays on 4 of the album’s six tracks, and his presence makes a huge difference. Steamin’ is notable for being the last album released by Davis on the Prestige label, and despite the fact that it’s often overshadowed by his more famous records (‘Round Midnight, In A Silent Way), it’s definitely a piece of beauty, and deserves to be heard just as much as anything else he was doing during this period. Coltrane eventually went on his own, but died of cancer at age 40 in 1967. Garland, Jones and Chambers all moved on by 1962, and Davis continued his incredible run. Steamin’ is another in a long line of fine Davis moments. [First added to this chart: 03/12/2026]

1988-COLUMBIA
Produced By LEONARD COHEN
1. First We Take Manhattan
2. Ain't No Cure For Love
3. Everybody Knows
4. I'm Your Man
5. Take This Waltz
6. Jazz Police
7. I Can't Forget
8. Tower Of Song
For Leonard Cohen's eighth studio album, he incorporated Euro disco beats, not necessarily the best idea. He also used female backup singers. But, as is usually the case with Cohen, a lot can be forgiven because of the quality of his songs. "Everybody Knows" is a classic (later recorded beautifully by Concrete Blonde), and "First We Take Manhattan" and "Tower Of Song" are first rate. Not as excellent as his earlier work, but still a fine album from Sir Cohen. Definitely worth having.
Cohen has released only 5 albums since this one (although 2 in the last 4 years), making his output all the more desirable. An artist who is always worth repeated listens. [First added to this chart: 02/05/2026]
