Dave , Quite certainly ,Phil and that collection of players with Nicki Bluhm did a great job of Free Man in Paris and Nicki sang it wonderfully and they made it their own with Jam Band Grateful Dead style from my perspective. I really liked what they did with it .  
 
 As far as Phil introducing young players to us I think is an awesome tradition among great artists such as Mr. Charlie Parker introducing  and inviting a young Miles Davis to play with him. Later Mr. Miles Davis introduced us to John McLaughlin  and Darryl Jones and several other players .  It is such a nice thing for a seasoned accomplished musician to do.

Joni Mitchell - Shadows And Light  Concert  
 

Shadows and Light is an old time favourite of mine  I specially enjoy the joke they do on In France they kiss at main street, where, after Pat?s solo, they play an insinuation of Metheny?s Phase Dance... delightful! And an awesome performance, all of it!

Good stuff...a LOT of ACOUSTIC amps up there in that gig...I love my 370; seriously, I've played a number of gigs using more modern solid state amps (Gallien Krueger, etc.) and they don't have the balls of my 370; I'd like some amp geek to explain why to me...
 
What I am listening to now is rehearsal recordings; some amazingly angry versions of songs; clearly the tensions of each member needed a release...someone recently described our sound as Killdozer mixed with Goddo; a mind-bending mix but perhaps the closest peg yet...Tony

 
This should brighten your day!

Bloody amazing!..thanks Dave

Got beck yesterday from MOSES in La Crosse;
This song seems appropriate and ties into Dave's recent contribution:

Alison Balsom - Hummel Trumpet Concerto in E flat, Rondo  
 
This Lady Is Amazingly Awesome!  
 

More Alison !  

Wolf, I enjoyed that.
 
Watching someone expose their inner joy through any genre of 'the arts' makes life robustly beautiful.

I am glad you enjoyed it Paul . She makes some really challenging repertoire so joyful and free . Like a beautiful bird in flight.

I had the pleasure of meeting and playing music with this gentleman when he was a prodigious teenager, not so many years ago... a once-in-a-generation musical mind, and a class act.  
 

 
This Bach piece seems to fit well with the recent direction of the listening thread.
