WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Based on recent events, shouldn’t they be the artists formerly known as Morris Day and the Time?

Bill, tgo

Higher Ground - Playing for Change

features, among others, Sheila E., Shemekia Copeland, Bela Fleck, Rhiannon Giddens, and Robert Randolph

This one - the ending made me smile.
I always enjoy the ‘spin’ that Playing For Change puts on songs.

Taking my first live rip at this one tomorrow night with the band... key of F#, lotsa' blue.

I've been listening to the setlist for my next gig with my NotStrictlyJazz Qt & Guests.
This one is currently playing.

Heard this on the way home from work.  It had me grinning ear to ear.

A great tune: the great Dione Farris from Arrested Development; written by William DuVall most recently from Alice In Chains!

About 2 weeks ago, I went on the Achilles Wheel website & ordered their 3-CD set Live On Wesley's Road.  It got here about 1 week ago, and nothing else has touched the car player or my main computer since; I mean, these guys are good! 

I kid you not:  If I was booking a 4-day festival, and had Rare Earth, the original lineup of the Allman Brothers Band and the Grateful dead lineup from - oh, say, anytime before Aug. 1990 - booked to headline 3 nights, I would not hesitate to sign Achilles Wheel for the 4th!

And while i was listening to AW, my youngest was ending me this link.  He's currently not indulging, so as to pee in a cup for a job app; says this is the first time he's really missed it:

Peter (who thankfully no longer has to worry about "random" testing, and thus could enjoy it fully)

Couple tunes I had to let soak-in this past week and be ready to play Friday night...


AKUS-

Kenny Smith-

I knew them both already, but it had been years...

Achilles Wheel really are talented and every recording of them has a sublime mix.  Having ‘that Alembic tone’ holding the bottom gets me in the feels every time. 😎

If I may expand on that, "....that Alembic tone through a 1X18, 2X12 stack...."; Shelby's sound is every bit as wonderful as his playing (and he's a total monster  of a player!)


Peter (who, as a soundman, constantly finds himself floored by the perfection of their mixes)
