Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Talking Heads are excellent.  I’ve been listening to the reissue of Talking Heads 77.  Great stuff. 

I am listening to the most marvelous music, I really don’t want it to stop. Ever!

I’ve just discovered it. The artist is Bart van Oort and he plays the fortepiano. It is what pianos were in Chopin’s day and they don’t necessarily sound completely familiar, but van Oort is a magician the way he makes these pianos sing. I am listening to one of his singles called “French Nocturnes.  I’d like to upload a photo here from my iPad Photo Library but apparently that’s not possible. :(

The first track is beyond beautiful. Check it out here:

The other one of van Oort’s recordings that I’ve been playing is also wonderful! It is a multi disc album “Chopin and his Contemporaries” and it is equally beautiful.

 

Joe Sample-Carmel(CD-1979/1996GRP) A Fusion Jazz favorite of mine kicks off an unusual Saturday Night Vinyl session.

I started with Modern Jazz Quartet, and wandered into something very interesting! The name of the album is Ten Steps, by Dan Whitehouse & Max ZT. Please try it and let me know what you think. It's a relaxing ethereal journey that was completely unique. You will hear the hammered dulcimer of Max ZT, which was described as the Jimmi Hendricks of dulcimer players. Next I found Max ZT with Ivy League Hillbillies. Interesting name and even more interesting music!!!
*Try it, you will thank me later!!!*

The Dead in 77 were at the top of their game.  I Have a few 77 concerts including the legendary Cornell 5/8/77 show.  Long live the Dead!  

Into day 2 of a bunch of Grateful Dead concert recordings. They played some really good shows in 1977.

Two Sides to Every Story by Tiger Okoshi. It's an Alan Yoshida master and recorded using the XRCD process meaning it sounds amazing. 

Carly Simon-Film Noir(CD 1997) A 1990's favorite of my wife and myself kicks off Sunday night vinyl.

Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore East Concerts.  In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is my favorite.  Named after a headstone in the cemetery they used to hang out in. 

Steve Tyrell-Back To Bacharach(CD 2008) Another example of a great interpretation of Mr. Bacharach's songs jumpstarts a Thanksgiving vinyl night.
