Been watching this forum for awhile and I'm curious. Why doesn't anyone post links to the music like we do on "Jazz for Aficionados"? It's very handy and helps us explore the music that's out there. Example - this Art Pepper piece I just posted over there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_4jLzxD_Xw |
Larry and Steve also put some of their duets on "Two for the Road" (Arista, 1977). I've been enjoying that one as well as "Twin House" with Catherine for around 40 years. There was also "Tributaries" with Larry, John Scofield and Joe Beck going trio in '79. I will have to find that Steve Khan solo effort on Arista.
As you know guys know, Side 1 of "European Impressions" was recorded live at Montreux; the video production of that performance is on YouTube with some great close-ups of Coryell's fingers darting in and out of complex chord structures in split seconds.
If you can find it (I only have it on CD), "Acoustic Reflections" was released in 1976. A nice collection of solo Coryell that was broadcast on radio in Mass.
@spiritofradio - I never played 12 string as I was not even very good at 6 and stopped playing back in the 90's.

"European Impressions"
Unbelievable you posted this. One of my most cherished albums, but very obscure. Coryell saw music theory in his head and laid it out on the frets, with passion. He may have dinked notes every so often, but it was the essense of the music he sought and revered, and I was on board 100%. I was lucky enough to catch him performing many, many times over a couple decades starting in '79.

slaw, of course it matters!

How many of us out there own Blues Project "Live at Town Hall?" I was also hooked on "Planned Obsolescence" 50 years ago! Thanks for that one.

Wayne Shorter: "Speak no Evil"
I almost never post here, but anyone who has a jazz leaning will love this one. Fantastic quintet, beautiful compositions.

audioguy, sounds familiar. My dusty TT is in the shop getting a new bearing while the tonearm is being overhauled in Canada. Also have a new cartridge on its way.
I'm still limited to optical and streaming - looking forward to returning to vinyl nirvana soon.
|
@lawmnsuu
Which format is it?
|
slaw, you made me pull out "You're Driving Me Crazy" - Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco (2018).
|
@mammothguy54, thanks for suggesting "Carney." I checked out the tracks on YouTube and, while I enjoyed the throwback aspect, it sounds dated and not up to par with "Will 'O the Wisp." Or maybe I'm just old.
|
The only Leon Russell I've ever had is "Will O' the Wisp." Thanks for introducing me to more.

@tomic601
Glad you enjoyed these. Coryell isn't only lots of notes. Check out the complex chord structures in "April Seventh" I posted (now yesterday - LOL). He composed this piece in the mid-70s.
|
Well I'll try again. This is "April Seventh." Larry Coryell live in 1977. This isn't available in any other format I know of other than video. Of course the audio isn't like high quality vinyl, but the performance is captivating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psft8ZRfCRUI beat the clock by 8 minutes, when it will turn April 8. |

I don't care who you are, that's funny.

Discogs is great, but the links to other music that show up on YouTube are nearly invaluable. On top of that there are the historic films and videos of live performances.
Of course YouTube isn't a good hi-fi source. I own a SOTA Star/SME V combo, so I understand. I only use YouTube for sharing and exploring. I've purchased numerous "near mint" LPs as a result of this exploration. Very rewarding.

@bkeske
I'm a vinyl head too, but for the purpose of further exploration and expansion of one's musical universe, it's tough to beat YouTube links.

Interesting that most posters here list rock. That's fine - rock is a genre I grew up with and enjoy.
Is there a similar thread that focuses on jazz and blues?
|
@big_greg "Santana- S/T MFSL"
I appreciate that there's an insider language here on Audiogon, but WTF does this mean? Some of us have no idea.
|
@jamesclarke: "unqualifiedly ghastly"
I appreciate your restraint. I thought it was worse. Of course, it's approaching 2M YouTube views. Sigh.

What's on my turntable? Dust!
Still need to pack up my SOTA and send it back for a new motor/controller, and I'm not digging the box out of the attic until this heat wave passes.
