| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. Jazz doesn't get more spiritual than "Eyes of the Heart" by Keith Jarrett and his American Quartet with Dewey Redman, Paul Motian and Charlie Haden. Turn out the lights and fire it up. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. If you want a movie that's visually stunning check out "Days of Heaven" directed by Terence Malick and shot by Nestor Almendros, who won the Oscar for cinematography. It stars Richard Gere in one of his earliest film roles, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepa... | |
| A great has died First time I saw Garth was when the Band was still the Hawks and backing Bob Dylan in Hartford 1965. I had no idea who they were. Saw them again in New Haven 1966. Unfortunately, the stars never aligned for me to see the Band itself. | |

My buddy and I went up to the side of the stage as the first set was ending and Bo... | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 Speaking of Mike Bloomfield (one of my first guitar heros in my early teens), below is a link to a fascinating story that he wrote himself (with illustrations by R. Crumb!) about his experiences with Big Joe Williams in Chicago. It's a gr... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray It sound like to me you’re just guessing? And you have no clue? I wondering where you live and what live venues you go to see Jazz? Jazz (and blues) is the one music that is our own. It is played all over the US and the world. I don’t car... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray That's good stuff and I intend to check out more of it, but....it doesn't really disprove what I said about the listening habits of young people in general. If I wanted to take the time, I'm quite sure I could find videos from dozens of j... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato And: Do conglomerates churn out torrents of garbage purely out of the evilness of their cold hearts, or are they merely rational economic actors who produce what the buying public demands?
