| Favorite Pianists There may be a couple of other favorite pianist lists in another thread or two... Obviously Monk changed things a lot and was great. There's probably not anyone as earth shaking currently active, (maybe because now there's less new ground availabl... | |
| Remember the Electric Light Orchestra Second the Move recommendation. Their Looking On album was a great one too, it marks a period, but will always be good. Recording quality might not work for some, but once the stuff has printed in your head that won't matter much. Not the most pro... | |
| What am I missing? Americana? I dunno... maybe a Ventures greatest hits disc, Danny Gatton Cruising Deuces, Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East, Smithereens Especially For You. The Crime Jazz compilations provide a good cross section of memorable soundtrack pieces from Ameri... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Hey Frogman,Hope the weekend is good.- Like most people I like tons of stuff that is the musical equivalent of junk food, and I never said Pdn's musical taste was crap.-The previous post did not suggest that one needs to be an innovator to be a gr... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Since everything from the Mahavishnu Orchestra to the Rippingtons gets called "fusion" the term really has no descriptive value. At least w/ "smooth jazz" you can generally expect some really derivative melted velveeta and miracle whip sax tones a... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Nobody likes to have their feelings hurt... it's not pleasant. Hearing weak, phony, auto pilot musical cliches that mimic jazz can also be pretty unpleasant. It's not hard to see how people who dig great under recognized musicians perceive a foul ... | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? Unfortunately I only got to catch one show near the end. Great! but not as mind altering as Agharta, On The Corner or Jack Johnson. Remove these three and we have a big holy grail level crater in the land of outside psychedelic jazzrock goodness. | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Still haven't snagged Band of Gypsys on cd an' lost my turntable during an acid trip about 20 years ago... need to get Band of Gypsys again. Also really dig the Little Wing solo from the Jimi Hendrix Concerts disc (1968 live in Winterland)... this... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? If Rainbow Bridge gets played, don't skip Pali Gap | |
| Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio Belief that there is one best FZ release requires defective playback equipment or more likely egregious user/listener error. A lot of his ideas mutate and resurface throughout the catalog. Uncle Meat, Lumpy Gravy and Weasels Ripped My Flesh lay do... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? This is a Lays Potato chip question. Right now maybe Reeves Gabrels, (still can't eat just one) Heaven's in Here/Baby Universe/If there is Something (Tin Machine was %$###!!!!! GREAT in MHO). Sonny Sharrock/Dick Dogs is fantastic and maybe throw i... | |
| Stealth solos? Dunno How stealthy this is but the Thin Lizzy/Don't Believe a Word solo is a fine little pop rock raygun beam. | |
| Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today? The question seems to ask who is rehashing the old young lions. Hope I'm wrong about this since it's a lot more interesting to hear artists who are stretching themselves and finding something that works. There's a difference between a player w/rot... | |
| Wynton - The Only Person in Jazz Who Matters? "He is certainly the best out there right now"... I'm not a Wynton hater but that is about the raunchiest hunk of cheese that's been cut around here for awhile... everyone knows that music is just like hmmm... maybe the long jump, where only one p... | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Also dig Friday on my mind. There are so many good poppy flavors available. Can't help thinking how much better radio could have been:See Emily Play/ Pink Floyd (the Bowie one is good too)Yellow Pills/ 20/20I Can see For Miles/ The WhoGo All The W... |
