I agree...DIRT is amazing..now I have to find my disc!

Dirt is playing here too!  

Nutty,
Great choice. I consider Dirt to be one of the very best albums by any American rock band ever. Totally authentic, always fascinating and frequently sad. Virtuosity from the entire band. I can't imagine ever growing tired of anything on that disc. 

Ah yeah, Alice in Chains...
the newer line up is not bad, having very large shoes to fill, if you will.

I was fortunate to see the original 90's line up a few times prior to LS death.
Really rocked it- Live!

Alice in chains, Dirt. "Rain when I die" - best guitar on the CD.

George Lynch, Sacred groove.....one of my guitar hero's. George is fantastic on this one. Also included are vocals from Mathew and Gunner Nelson and one track featuring the great Glenn Hughes. I like the last track best."Tierra Del Fuego".

Nad Sylvan (Steve Hackett's Vocalist)
"Courting the Widow" Great modern Prog Rock

Yellowjackets.....great contemporary jazz.

Haitink SACD of Beethoven's 7th symphony. Sweet.

Paul Simon.

Jerry Garcia.

Tookis 2

a mix cd by a student of mine

crazy eclectic  mix

folk, reggae, roots, blues, rock

fig dish, that's what love songs often do--replacement-ish chicago band that had a brief major label fling in the wake of smashing pumpkins. massive, crunchy guitar hooks, great dynamics and a lot of fun.
arab strap, red thread--dour, poetic lyrics chanted over thick, lush guitar textures; somewhere in the neighborhood of nick cave or tindersticks, but somehow more engaging than either. very highly recommended.

Boulez conducts Ligeti!

Danzig.

ghost, thanks for following up. the carles benavent is excellent btw--very 80s fusion throwback. which is a good thing.

A great album tonight, musically and sonically, by Spanish bass player, Carles Benavent: "Quartet".  Definitely worth a listen.  

Also, for a change of pace:  Arbouretum, "Song of the Pearl".

jafant - you are welcome, of course.

The music is pretty conventional though not without some interesting solos (often from NC). Great lineup, for sure.

Try this Spotify URL link.  
The "composer(s)" is: Broadbent/A.Cline/N.Cline/Erskine/Pasqua

spotify:album:4qWljHqQQaCpxLywXAab56

Please let me know if you have any further difficulties locating it.

ghost--can't find the eric von essen on spotify--is it worth tracking down on cd?

Last night was The Music of Eric Von Essen Vol. I & II.  An interesting Nels Cline connection here, for anyone interested ( @jafant , @loomisjohnson ).  Pretty much "standard" jazz with a little twist.  There is a 3rd volume as well, didn't get to it.  

For a change of pace, switched off to All Tiny Creatures, "Harbors".  

Ahmad Jamal.

Generation X.

Thanks for the further comments comparing Beck vs Holdsworth, Steve.  

I tried AH's "Wardenclyffe Tower" last night.  Maybe it just gets off to a slow start...really didn't do much for me though I didn't get through more than the first three tracks.  I will try Metal Fatigue.  I have collected several Jeff Beck LPs including Blow by Blow & Wired.   I like BbyB very much - prefer it to Wired by a large margin.

   

Metal Fatigue is my favorite Holdsworth recording;
Blow By Blow is my favorite Beck recording

ghost house: I just realized that one thing they might have in common musically is that they both often play with an inflection and a tonality suggestive of horn players.

Porcupine Tree, Fear of a blank planet.
N 

Neil Finn - Dizzy Heights

Allan Holdsworth - Wardenclyffe Tower 

All the above, as is often the case listening at night, courtesy Spotify. 

a PS - gosh...I'd completely forgotten Holdsworth was part of the band UK's original lineup.   

The Michael Shenker group. S/T
Triumph, Just a game.

stevecham - Thanks for the insights.  Maybe I should have had a 4th option..."Or am I simply delusional".   I'm not a guitarist and all I know of Holdsworth is what I heard on this Tony William Lifetime compilation (as lamentable as that might be).  I had picked up on the difference of "long runs vs short phrases" but I did think I heard a similar tone or sound.  Haven't looked into the kinds of guitars they use but maybe it's just a case of Wired & Blow By Blow being from the same fusion genre as the music on the Tony Williams albums included in the compilation: "Believe It" & "Million Dollar Legs". Thanks again.
