Digging the Buena Vista Social Club. I've been enjoying Latin jazz more and more as I get older. There's a local college station - WDCB - that plays mostly jazz around the clock (some blues and other odds and ends too). They play Latin jazz on Friday nights, and I often hear it coming from the shop where I work.

Lang Lang with the Dresden Symphony (help, my German translation skill is nada), Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'.  You will NEVER hear a better performance of this than this performance.  IN-spired.


If you liked that, maybe you'll like this documentary that I watched a few nights ago.  It's a documentary about his preparation for live and studio performances of Bach's Goldberg Variations.  After seeing that, I ordered the 4 CD set which includes both the studio recording and the live St Thomas Church performance in Leipzig, excerpts of which are shown in the documentary.


Oh, and the Rhapsody was fun!

Alison Brown got some of the girls together for a Hartford tune... I'm always in for anything Missy Raines puts bass to.


(on toppa' that, Alison is playing John's Deering "Julia Belle" banjo here...)

Happy Winter Solstice!

A local station played this song this morning whilst I was out and about doing Solstice things… was so amazed I had to look it up and play it for my wife… enjoy!

Thanks for the Steam Powered Aereo Plane.  I like the sound of that banjo, and I think Alison might be my favorite banjo player.

I've never heard this album before. Motown does Zeppelin
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

It was quite a performance. I've seen a few from that show... his was a standout.

Little Feat; a nice rendition of the best truck-drivin' song ever: 
Peter
"Is not Hypnocracy no other than the aspiration to discover the meaning of Hypnocracy?  Have you heard the one about the yellow dog yet?"
St. Dilbert

"If I could explain it in prose, i wouldn't have had to write the song."

This was fun, and a great lineup to make it so.  One of Ringo's All Star bands from 1992.
