WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

David, that is very cool stuff, and very talented people!

Marcus Miller is someone who, I think, has not failed to deliver in what I've heard of his body of work, regardless of his role or his instrument.  And he can make a Porkpie Hat look cool.  A rare talent.

Eric Dolphy playing "Naima"-

[David Houck]

Thanks for the Eric Dolphy.

Interesting, Rob... that cut of Nardis... I could swear the mix is different from the release of Mar West than the one on the Devlin compilation. (Devlin is a best-of from Still Inside, and Mar West... they must have done some remastering or something)


You might enjoy this album if you like that vein of Tony's music... "Acoustics" was the predecessor to "Mar West", and while it's waaay out of print, remains a fine example of what he was about to do after parting ways with David Grisman. https://youtu.be/333F6N1zxQ0

Hadn't seen that particular video of Power before; that's a good one.

Some soundboard recordings from the Grateful Dead, working through the selection-

More Eric Dolphy on saxophone and bass clarinet with Herbie Hancock-

Springtime-

All sound really clear, warm, clean, and are very pleasant to sit and bask in.  Have a good weekend.

Gregory; I just listened to both version back to back, and the only difference that got my attention was that perhaps the EQ on the overall mix is different, with the Devlin version perhaps having more treble.  So perhaps it was remastered for Devlin.  Just guessing; and it's entirely possible that it's just my imagination, and entirely possible that there's lots of differences and I'm missing them all.

Thanks, Greg, I will check out the “Acoustics” album, “Devlin” too

I heard that two of the young soccer players are out of the cave.... that brings me great joy.  Seriously happy to hear about this and questioned myself why it matters to me on such a deep level - then this song popped into my head and the chorus holds the answer:
Good News - Chris Rea

[Zut8083]

The Stranglers on TV, Top of the Pops maybe?
Nice N Sleazy,

The Stranglers from Rattus Norvegicus-
Peaches,

Burnel's old school honking P-bass tone is unreal, clear, chugging, horn tones playing in the rhythm section with the prominence of a lead instrument.  Cool.

Lastly, Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 1977 on "Sight and Sound" with an excellent line up of his band.  Mistakenly, I thought Norman Watt-Roy picked up a Series 1 later in the show.  I think it must have been on another BBC TV show that was around the time, and I believe was a maple/mahogany/purpleheart stringer doozy.  The selection is a little bawdy, is pretty great if outside earshot of small children, and shows Ian Dury's proclivities and appetites, on stage and before, in their true to form fashion-

RIP Hugh Cornwall and Ian Dury.

On a Tony Rice kick since Rob's post the other day... been listening to "Native American" on this very unproductive afternoon in my shop. Seriously, I couldn't hit the ground with my hat today.    Oh well, at least the music was good. Here's my favorite song from that album, "Summer Wages", written by Ian and Sylvia Tyson.

And here's the whole album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mFY-4BTh5FbYB0Myi8k92c4XVttmA8_e0

*this is great fretless practice, by the way.

That video of Power was sweet! Love the bass interplay with the sax player.

Hadn't listened to Ian Dury since the 70s. Brings back memories.

Not your usual Superstition...
