I think I figured out how to embed videos but don't believe the site admins would like their storage space taken up with youtube music embed links.  ;D

My music interests are pretty eclectic. I spend a lot of time searching out artists who bring something very special to the table but may not be well known or may have sadly faded into obscurity after their passing.

Jeffrey Foucault
Darrell Scott
Patty Griffin
Esbjorn Svennson Trio
Esperanza Spalding
Tina Dickow (Dico)
The Drive By Truckers
Derek Trucks
Hayes Carll
James McMurtry
Emily Remler
Laura Nyro
Tommy Bolin


Been a Pat Metheny fan for over 30 years. And Anna Maria Jopek is pretty easy on the ears and eyes as well.  ;D

That was good! :)  :-X

Never heard any of the names you mentioned above... hehe, very cool to see how many different tastes we have, and how we can get to know stuff we may not even have heard of otherwise. Thanks, Eeyore  :)

hehehe, cheers :)

Funny, the first link (Tina Dico) shows a TV channel I know, "NDR" (NordDeutscher Rundfunk = Northern German Broadcast)  ;D

The Emily Remler clip is from a German show as well.

I'm very thankful for EU Television programs. They have preserved some wonderful live performances that otherwise might have been lost -- John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, etc.

we have a lot of that stuff on different shows and stations, and I am also glad they do that.

I've just finished listening to Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Behind The Yashmak (live), which I really liked  ;D :-X :-X

wow, usually not my cup of tea, but Darrell Scott at Bristol Rhythm and Roots 2008 really's got the rhythm and what a powerful play on that guitar. NICE  :-X

You really got me going there, Eeyore, with Emily Remler & Barbara Dennerlein - Stormy Weather Blues  ;D What a nice Hammond organ... and also, "Desdemona" - Derek Trucks Guitar Solo was really nice... I couldn't help but deviate a little to check something out. Will resume listening thereafter :) :

The jazz and all the stuff you put me through reminded me of Giants that I need to bring to your attention (all of you):

Check out Art (hehe) Blakey, that guy and that tune is what I grew up with, along with some of the following good stuff.

Moanin'-Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers (if possible, play the HD stereo version, which I have prepared for you, else remove the "&fmt=18" at the end of the URL.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vglFMb9zUo&fmt=18

If that doesn't shake your bones and make you swing ;D

You may all know this, but Dave Brubeck and "Take five" is one of the all time classics... (hope you won't see a pink label stating it was a sony music title and therefore no longer available... if so, just check for Dave Brubeck's take five. No one else's :) )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmDDOFXSgAs

And there is another Giant, Gerry Mulligan, which is the best white sax player I can think of. I found a nice recording with other Giants, from a 1958 record:

Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Harrie Edison & Oscar Peterson Trio - Chocolate Sundae

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVVsxRIm_8o&fmt=18

Hope you like this kind of Jazz, at least after all this  :)

the last two of your links were a brutal contrast to what I had just come up with, and it put me into a totally different mood. Man, that Tommy Bolin died at the age of 25 but the pics in that vid seem to show his life as a teen to I don't know, 40s? Reminded me somewhat of Elvis (not the music, but the looks) and it looked like he was poisoned with drugs in the end. Sad.

Nevertheless, a very interesting choice of music you came up with, thanks a lot :)

Bolin was a really gifted player. Clips of him not playing as a member of Deep Purple or The James Gang are pretty rare. As a solo performer, he had more of a jazz / fusion style.

Both he and Emily Remler fell victim to drugs. Damn shame.

Tommy Bolin was the only performer on your list that I knew. His "Private Eyes" album is one of my faves :-X

Come Taste The Band is my favourite Deep Purple album. I thought Bolin injected some much needed new spirit into the band after Burn and Stormbringer.

Oh yeah...I'm familiar with most of that.  :-X

My parents took me to New Orleans several times when I was a young trumpet player. They  let me hang out at Preservation Hall where I would visit with the old black musicians between sets. I developed a love of jazz pretty early and even though the trumpet playing was a bust for me, I still go through phases when I listen to a lot of Jazz.

Teenage years were a bit strange -- I had Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Robin Trower, Dave Brubeck, Weather Report, and Stanley Clarke 8 tracks [!] in the truck.  I had to listen to the Jazz stuff when I was alone, though.  ;D

Here's one more for you.

And growing up in the Ozarks, I also was exposed to and developed a fondness for bluegrass and folk music.   

My interests run all over the place. I play a little guitar but have no skill nor talent -- just a gift for appreciating virtually all genres of music, I suppose.

Fragger, Tommy Bolin is one of my favorite rock guitarists. You can tell he plays right to the edge of chaos but somehow pulls it back just when you think the rifts are about to collapse under their own weight.

So sad he couldn't do that with his own life.

Thanks for this version of Giorgia's "e poi" -- funny how there are a gazillion versions on youtube of that very artist and that very song, yet the link above is probably the only one a certain music label decided to block in certain countries...

Nice voice  :-X

Are you listening to the wind now? Tell the wind to bring me some beer. F*ck the beer, we need women!

Art Blade

Sorry, no, mate. But I reckon some of the guys here will :)

Arrgh, Ric, now we're crashing with our posts. Let's move along together, sorry for interfering right now. But I just found something I wanted to "show" to those who are interested in watching a guitar player, and especially thinking of

one of the artists that I could sit and watch

made me want to post what I just found (a tutorial, actually) and I found it interesting to understand what's going on.

"&fmt=18" in the link leads to HD,  else use the second one for regular quality.

Check out more from Marty Schwarz, he's doing loads of different styles (blues etc) tutorials and I think he's fun to watch :)

I'd like mandru to comment on that (of course, anyone's comment is welcome) :)

A very cool find Art!  :-X

My focus over the last few years has been bass but I'm seeing elements there in his method that I should be able to adapt over directly (same string tunings just an octave lower) and add to my bag of tricks. I'll definitely need to go check out his other tutorials.

It also made me, for the first time in quite a while, want to break out my Charvel model 1A and foot pedals to rattle the rafters for a bit.

However, I'm unfortunately in a duplex with a neighbor that screeches through the wall and calls the police any time she even suspects there's music being played in the neighborhood.

I have a nice 600 watt full range combo amp that will handle anything from bass to guitar and keyboards but I've not even pulled the dust cover off of it after moving in here to keep her shut up.

Our duplex is set sideways to the road so that in order to get in and out of our place we have to walk past her door on the shared sidewalk and invariably she will shout "Get out of here!" at us as we go past.

After a year and a half of her dreck, in just this last week, she screamed at me through the apartment wall because I was out shoveling the public walk out in front of our place after an overnight snow storm at 6:30 am. I went out early because we live a block from an elementary school and after the morning pedestrian traffic starts at 7:00 am it is 20 times harder to chip off pack ice that's formed as people walk over it.

So I in my biggest booming voice yelled back at her to stop screaming at me and that I don't like being yelled at.

Haven't heard a peep out of her since.   ;)

So maybe it is time to up the ante and break out the gear and rock the house. If she calls the police I think I could make a good case to file a counter complaint against her for harassment because I know the police have a huge backlog of her making complaint calls during times of day that people have the right to pump up the tunes.

I know the landlord wouldn't mind one bit if she were to move somewhere else. I suspect he's already been trying to encourage her to do so while thinking it is her idea.

Thanks for the great lead Art and I'll have to see what shakes out of it.  ;D

glad you liked it :)

Actually, I have a guitar here, too (classical acoustic guitar) and that guy made me dig it up again  ;D

And yeah, hammer that neighbour!!!  ;D

@ Ricamundo - I've heard of Porcupine Tree, only bits and pieces over past few years. Thought you may like to know they are doing a Tour in the USA in April this year (even though your in Canada - no gigs listed there).

Tommy plays two instruments and then he blended those two recordings. Excellent.
