| How selective are you? Dig what Mapman has going on. The built in assumptions or expectations that usually come in to play when choosing what to put on can reduce the odds of getting into some great music that might already be right in front of you. Also on board w/Onhw... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... -Hendrix Are You Experienced = Global change in electric guitar playing, (not just in rock).-1st Velvet Underground laid down a foundation that hundreds built on, (Bowie, Roxy Music, Sonic Youth...).-1st Black Sabbath, grudgingly must admit had a ... | |
| Any Tom Waits Fans? Yup, Ribot is a unique and excellent musician. His recent Asmodeus disc is a good ripping electric trio date, but not as well recorded as some others. The Eclecticism CD w/ Kazutoki Umezu, (especially track 1) is incredible. I know it's kind of ap... | |
| Paul Motian RIP Had a good long run ...around 35 records as a leader and maybe more as a big contributor. Unlike most it seemed like he never wussed out artistically. Definitely could provide a buzz on par w/ Max Roach, Ed Blackwell and Dannie Richmond. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Not too surprising, given his level of critical thinking skills. Wouldn't be surprised if he regularly poops his pants too since ol' terrible turd is at least 98% arsehole. | |
| Who is your favorite jazz pianist There are lots of different kinds of great... can't pick one favorite right now ... been liking Monk and Mal Waldron a lot lately tho'. Here's a few who have real big talent and brilliance, (but maybe not real big notoriety):Paul PlimleySimon Naba... | |
| Best Rock Drummers Heyyyyy... got to give some to Chad Wackerman, Vinnie, Chester and Arthur Tripp!!...not laying claim to any "best" designations, but those guys banged skin on some high quality FZ stuff. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Stranglers,(if memory serves) early 80's small club called Galactica 2000 in Sacramento. Enterprising group of hoods sent a couple of guys into a crawl space above the stage... they stomped through the ceiling and fell through while the band was p... | |
| Favorite poorly-recorded albums Inner Mounting Flame is huge watershed, but yeah... usually yer' better off having it play back in your head instead of on your system. Same w/ Soft Machine 3, Tony Williams Lifetime/ Emergency, Captain Beefheart/Mirror Man, Lou Reed/Rock and Roll... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Was a little surprised to see that you liked Sextant, (i also like it a lot) ...any possibility that a record Hancock was on the year before (On The Corner) might hit you differently than it did a few decades ago? It's sort of a drag that Hancock ... | |
| Anyone else really likes Shawn Lane? Hearing a lot of great guitarists does not predispose one to be dismissive of Shawn Lane... it's possible to enjoy recordings of Segovia, Fisk and Lane. Does anyone really think the perceived merits of Fisk and Segovia can provide a ready made yar... | |
| A "Unique" Voice... -Peter Hamill, (Van der Graaf Generator)-Robert Wyatt, (Soft Machine, Matching Mole)-Don Van Vliet,(At times sounded like Howlin' Wolf, but you'd never mistake one for the other).-Richard Butler, (Psychedelic Furs) | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? For now it's Little Green Bag, (George Baker Selection) | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Nice one Orphy... especially the stop sign, (talk to the hand girlfriend) zinger, (sorry that you weren't comfortable w/ the possibility that the "all music is subjective" mantra is B.S.). Noting that there are other favorite guitarist threads isn... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Not sure real sure the "all music is subjective" statement works, (both musical notation and sound physically exist). It may be more reasonable to assert that opinions, (which often can be chock full of prejudices and misconceptions) are subjectiv... |
