WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[edwardofhuncote]

Eastern N.C. this time Dave... most of our folks are in the Raleigh-Durham area. I'll be checking in with my Cousin Graham (down your way) in Spring. We should do an Alembic mini-gathering.

@hammer, would very much like to watch that, but can't seem to find it.

@pauldo, NICE! Christmas Carols are sometimes hard to do well in that format, but the "pickin' on" guys delivered, as usual.

Ahmad Jamal & Yusef Lateef

Dave, that was great!

[David Houck]

Yes; very.  I had just watched the Cannonball video, and decided to search for something more recent from Lateef.  Found that one, and yes.  Words can't express.

Watching this year's Kennedy Center Honors within a week of watching the bio-documentary Mavis has me jonesing for the Staple Singers.
Is it physically possible to hear Mavis sing without getting goosebumps?  Not in my experience......

Ray Brown Masterclass...I can tell those basses aren't plywood (like mine).

[edwardofhuncote]

You're definitely soaking in the right stuff Elwood!

Between you and I, carved basses sing in a beautiful voice, but tend to be very high-maintenance ladies. My main bass for 25 years running is a pre-WW2 German import, that even though laminated, will hang with the best of them. The carved bass is (perhaps) 80-100 years older, and never leaves the house.

I haven't listened, or even tried to play any music for a solid week now. Yesterday and today, I've spent reading, and just trying be still. Keeping warm as possible so I can (hopefully) be ready to go back to work tomorrow morning. (it's near single digits here and there's about 6" of snow leftover from Friday night)

[elwoodblue]

Ah...I should call her 'laminated', not 'plywood'...she'll like that.


I'm going to have to start looking for an old gem I can fix up.
I'm sure I'll have many questions for you as I see what's out there.

[David Houck]

Yes; it's been noticed.  We're wondering if it's confined to Apple devices.  What device were you using when you made the post?

A 2008 Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop running Vista Home Premium..

Thanks for the data point.  We have found that the tags can be edited out, but we haven't determined what's causing them.

[edwardofhuncote]

Out of nowhere... (or possibly the residual effects of NyQuil Nuclear Maxi formula still coursing through my veins) here comes Robert Cray, and a song I hadn't heard or even thought of in almost 30 years.

I had "Strong Persuader" on a cassette tape, and must have worn that thing out during my Senior year of High School. Good times.

[edwardofhuncote]

Ran across this Fleetwood-Mac jam/outtake... apparently from the sessions while recording the"White" album about 1975. I assume the engineers just had tape rolling while getting levels or something. Anyway, I live and breathe to find licks like McVie is playing here, especially around 3:30, and again about 5:20 in.

Could this be #73-27 ?

This definitely is...

Digging that jam Gregory - thanks for the reveal!
