speaking of creed taylor, tonight i listened again to george benson’s weekend in la -- on it there is one track from his cti days -- ’ode to kudu’ i invite you to listen to that one on ’weekend in la’, then go back to hear the original track of that song (and a beautiful alternate take) on the early cti release of george benson’s ’beyond the blue horizon’ 1971 some of the best benson, and best jazz you will ever hear, imho just brilliant, and utterly beautiful... |
OK, we're off jazz a bit here. But this is what started it all for me. This was released in 1948 and became a big hit. I was very young but into the whole cowboy hero thing. The result was "Ghost Riders" became the first song I remember being really aware of and wanting to hear again and again. My first favorite tune. And Vaughn Monroe's version set the standard for the many, many others that followed. The emphasis here was his voice, no surprise since he was a singing star on records and radio. The later versions, The Outlaws and others, showed what a hot guitar could add.

frogman, he did not understand the "word" that McLaughlin had delivered when he had written it many years ago. And instead of "speaking" it as was intended he went into something of his own making that at times sounded like inappropriate and meaningless wandering. In fact, I generally like Jean-Luc Ponti, and I very much like his performance in Mahavishnu's Visions Of The Emerald Beyond. But here - no. There is a much better version of this composition where McLaughlin plays with his later Shakti group. Easy to find on youtube. This is a complex composition that has many subtleties, you can't just come out on stage and play it. Even Mclaughlin himself couldn't. |
