fretplay Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I've just discovered Taylor Goldsmith and his band Dawes. Sort of Dire Straights meets The Eagles with the songwriting of Paul McCartney. Can't ask for better than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Paul Desmond with Jim Hall - "Easy Living". CD culled from 8 of their RCA sessions. Jazz standards immaculately played. Hall was the most modern chordal jazz guitarist I've ever heard. John Scofield - "Groove Elation". European jazz musicians can't play this slow, and probably young American ones can't either; Idris Muhammed on drums. Does what it says in the title. Steve Khan - "Crossings". Michael Brecker on 3 tracks. Superb playing on this CD. Miles Davis Live in London July 1984 - a broadcast I've mentioned before, I keep coming back to this.

jdgm Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Deep Purple - "Made In Japan" (on CD). Recorded 50 years ago in 1972 and still a great live album! Edited February 26, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 "Tributaries" - Larry Coryell, Joe Beck and John Scofield. All acoustic. "There And Back" - Jeff Beck. I haven't played this for ages. The 2nd track "Too Much To Lose" has a 30-second solo which is still one of the most brilliant solos I have ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Yet another Metallica song out, and it's once again god-awful. It's time I stop clicking play on their new releases. Edited March 2, 2023 by Pinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I was reorganizing things in my music room yesterday, and dropped the needle on an old Three Dog Night album. Fun time, good memories from the early 1970's.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Since learning of his death on last night's news I've been listening to a lot of WAYNE SHORTER. Both his Weather Report years and some solo and Miles work. RIP Wayne. You had a great run. Thank you for the beauty. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Yes Wayne has gone at age 89 after a long illness; but he had a fantastic life and as you say, a great run. I still think he exemplifies the "sound of surprise" which was one critics definition of jazz. You can hear it, these days you can find a chart of it and learn to play it, but what is not (and never will be) understood is - how did he think of that? How did he know? Where did that come from? These are things I wonder about with all the really great music. Plaza Real is in Barcelona; one summer night Wayne had dinner at a restaurant there and sat watching the flamenco. And then wrote this: My God he was brilliant. Edited March 4, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Jeff Beck - Live + - (2014 USA tour) splendid fierce, loud and at times heavy live set with the 'Plus' of 2 equally brilliant (and mad) studio tracks. Simon Phillips - Protocol II. A friend visited with the 2 x 45rpm 12" version, which cost him lots but sounds great and has Andy Timmons on guitar. Fusion; well up to Mahavishnu Orch standard, these guys. Edited April 12, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Ralph Towner - "At First Light". New solo CD on ECM, recorded Feb 2022. Towner is 83 now so this may be his last recording, hinted at in the somewhat valedictory sleeve essay. All on classical guitar, there are no 12-string pieces (alas). Elvin Jones - "Live at Onkel Po's" - thunderous live 2CD set of the late, great drummer and his 'Jazz Machine' - 2 saxes, piano, bass and fine guitarist Marvin Horne (who is still around and teaching/playing). Great example of a typical EJ gig. Edited April 14, 2023 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as many big, recognizable names this year as in past, but the music is always great and we have a blast. 4 days of freedom and camping and music.

Californiaman Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 BB King. Literally, it's all about BB's technique and the BB Box. I bought nine BB King Albums this week. It's all I want to here. If I'm not listening to them, I'm watching on YouTube. Doing a very deep dive into the Kings music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) "Waiting For Columbus" - Little Feat. Though I loved the band and bought their records, I never liked the sound on this LP; I was at one of the concerts and that wasn't how it sounded. Now there is a deluxe 8CD set available which is the original album plus the complete 3 concerts it was all assembled from. I'd like to hear that.
