Marco you are correct. It's Painting With Words and Music that I have. I always get the titles mixed up. It's an intimate performance in the round thing. Great version of Amelia and Hejira which are 2 personal favorites. Thanks for keeping me straight!
Favorite music
I've been a long time fan of Daniel Lanois and only in the last months discovered the group, Black Dub.
The lead singer is Trixie Whitley, daughter of the late, great Texas blues man, Chris Whitley.
Brian Blade on drums, a phenominal artist who's work I greatly admire. This from Amazon:

Among his credits, Lanois produced Bob Dylan s Grammy winning 1997, Time Out of Mind, and U2 s anthemic 1987 breakthrough, The Joshua Tree.
Daniel has produced music for an array of genre busting artists, including Brian Eno, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris and the Neville Brothers.

Others have mentioned following Daniel Lanois work and discovering other artists. When I heard the album "Real Book Stories," I was immediately attracted and then discovered Brian Blade was part of this too. Searching for LP of this work lead me to AAA in Germany who sells legal issues of half track, 15 IPS master dubs of this album. After hearing it I gave AAA product of the year award at Positive Feedback. That same year Myles Astor gave The Tape Project the same honor. Real Book Stories is Jazz, a natural for Brian Blade who has recorded with Joshua Redman, Wayne Shorter and Joni MItchell as already mentioned. This work was released on LP in Europe on Quinton label. Here's a link to Quinton Austria that offer a few sound samples. The master tape dub of "Real Book Stories" is one of my quality standards for listening. Real music and superb quality. http://www.quintonrecords.com/index.php?id=16&tx_quintonrecordlist[release]=1 |
Thanks for keeping me straight! Gotch'er back, bro'. Love, Amelia, as well. I'm also partial to her more, er, saccharine early work...one, your namesake; The Last Time I Saw Richard, last cut on, Blue (classic/flawless album - probably ties with Court and Spark as my favorite). All her early stuff gets to me, right through the mid-career jazz stuff. I think once she got to, Dog Eat Dog, she lost me. Nothing at all after that has quite the same power for me. I've never seen the vid you are talking about though. Send it on along with some of those stuffed peppers your wife makes! Word to Elvis and Omar. Albert, every time I read your posts I find myself pining for a good turntable rig again. Kind of like a Pavlovian response, or a jones'n junkie. Digital is my methadone, but you know it ain't the same. Keeps me out of trouble though... |
