I vote for the Bee Gees. They sound more pathetically heartbroken.

Only a piece of the song. The whole CD was terrific. Almost painfully personal, but terrific.
Leonard Cohen, The Future.
Anyone happen to catch his concert last week at the Fox? I wanted to go, but couldn't justify the $75 ticket prices. I saw him at the State, back in, I think 1993 and he was wonderful.
Listening to Train, Hotel Costes, Soul II Soul. I know they're modern chestnuts, but I like them anyway.
Keely Smith is a friend, as well as my favorite vocalist of all time, and her most recent CD's are super!
Maxwell - Pretty Wings

Hold Steady - Live at SXSW. I love love love this band. Then I'm turning on the TV for the night and turning off my brain. Nighty night.
I guess nobody here saw Leonard Cohen, at the Fox, last week?:confused:
It was so expensive, I fretted and whined about the price till it was sold out. Everyone I know who went is still rhapsodizing about the show.
i listened to topper headon's dukane road this am. kinda mancini meets booker t

Slum Village - Keep It On
Oldredfordette, don't fret over having missed Leonard Cohen. If the reports [[which I've been hearing for years) that he is God are true, alls ya gotta do is behave yourself, and you should be able to see him after you keel over, which [[hopefully) will be many, many years from now, but not to worry; they say that great art is ageless.
I went to New York for the Pete Seeger 90th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden, it was astounding and epic so I really can't bitch too much about missing Leonard. :cool:
Can anyone supply a link to a recent popular song with the lyrics "I've been traveling this road so long"? I heard it on a recent road trip several times and fell in love with it. It had a rap element to it too.

"Mosaic" by Blue Note 7.
Not earth-shaking, or "challenging." Maybe even a bit pedestrian.
But it sure is nice.
Also having a sudden, unprovoked yen for John Coltrane, so if you heard "Giant Steps" blasting from a beat-up Dodge driving through the Corktown area, that was me, inflicting my tastes on the world at large.
Jeez, as if the hip hop kids weren't bad enough, now we have to be annoyed by pipe smoking, old jazz dudes. Ravine, you are a menace to society.Quote:

an old thing i haven't listened to in a while - In the Court of the Crimson King
The Milroys - The Milroys
Local music night at Casa 'Dette
I think it is interesting to consider how, at the time of its release, "Giant Steps" probably was thought of as being fairly far out there. [[I can't be sure; I was alive, but I dang sure wasn't listening to John Coltrane.)
Pam, I am unable to defend myself against your playfully stern rebuke, except to say that what I call "blasting" may not even elicit a reaction from nearby citizens. Also, I like a bass to sound & feel like a real bass, so even if my car's audio system was able to produce that Thor, God of Thunder effect, I wouldn't use it that way.

It's time to decide....
I wanna hear some revolution out there.....
Who'dofthunk people in 2009 would be listening to stuff like this, from Green Day?
Violence is an energy
From here to eternity
Violence is an energy
Silence is the enemy
So gimme gimme revolution
The more I feel it, the more it grows!

The BJL, the Color you love to hate!
Bx:
Your mention of Angela Bofill - People Make The World Go Round struck a nerve here. I saw her perform several times, decades ago.
Sad what has happened to her [[two devastating strokes, no medical insurance), but the music lives on!
Right now, I am listening to Diddley Daddy, by the old Detroit Blues Band
Ok, Ok, not wanting to thread grab, this will be my last entry here for a while.
"I Walk On Guilded Splinters", by Dr. John
Due to the lack of work situation, couldn't make it to the show tonight. The thing is, I miss the pops and cracks from the old vinyl album that contributed to the vibe of this song. Digital version is too clean!
Does anyone know what I am talking about?
Beyonce - Above And Beyonce [[at this rate, Ciara or Keri will have a difficult time catching or surpassing Beyonce)
Early gospel music. This song rocks. I just read about this lady in a book I am reading. I never heard of her before. Thanks to the magic of You Tube, here she is:

Yes, sort of like some black and white movies should have been left that way.
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall. Oh how we partied hardy of this album!
Thanks MoparDan.
Michael Jackson. Everything, all holiday weekend. A legend.
Fred Astaire, James Brown, Bill Bailey moves.
Excellent vocals, and sophisticated funky [[ala Q and Bros Johnson Cali style).
Ahead of his time.
Fred Astaire? I thought he was a dancer.
Yea, Jackson was exceptionally talented...too bad he was such a twisted and evil freak.
Fred Astaire was an exceptionally talented jazz singer. He translated his natural sense of rhythm to his vocal chords. Not strong, but swinging.
A lot of MJ today.
I had not heard much of Fred Astaire singing other than incidentally in some of his movies.
John Fogerty: "Centerfield", "Rock & Roll Girls"
Jim Croce: "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues"
Prelude and Fugue in B Flat Minor for well tempered clavicord. Interesting countermelodies.
I haven't posted on this thread in a while because I have been listening to the same thing for a month, Children of Men [[Music from the Motion Picture), Eternity's Sunrise. Sarah Connelly's voice just blows me away!
It seams I have abandoned my jazz, funk, and hip hop roots, and am exploring my classical dark side. That should make Ray1936 happy.
Shorty Blackwell - MD/Shorty Rogers/monkees
"he built a house upon the hill
ask him if he's happy
and then give him a pill"
"It seams I have abandoned my jazz, funk, and hip hop roots, and am exploring my classical dark side. That should make Ray1936 happy."
You bet! In fairness, though, I also get great enjoyment out of Frank, Dean, and the immortal Gogi Grant. :)
Ray 1936 -- Oh, that "Wayward Wind" is a restless wind. Sigh.:)
Mambo Sun, T-Rex. Oh hell, all of Electric Warrior.
Silver Jews - Random Rules
Jeez, Stosh, you brought back a few smiles! Haven't heard that album in too long. Got the old vinyl out and hissed and popped back to the daze!
Some lyrics:
With my hat in my hand
I'm a hungry man for you
I got stars in my beard
And I feel real weird for you.
Beneath the bebop moon
I'm howling like a loon for you
Beneath the Mambo Sun
I've got to be the one for you
Ah, the days of howling like a loon......for anyone!
A short list of Styx about to hit:
Suite Madame Blue

"Key To The Highway", B.B. King version, on an old tape cassette.
Just heard Billy Farris play it live last night.
Art Tatum...unfortunately, he died so long ago, the quality of the recordings is poor, and there is no pianist, before or since that can come close to his technical skills.
Cc, I cannot authenticate this story, but I once read [[or heard) that Tatum's remarkable sound came about partly as a result of his admiration of the sound produced by "player" pianos. [[I'm going to presume that you know what those are; if you do not know, look into it and you will get the idea immediately.) Naturally, a single human player would not be capable of producing all of those sounds, but the story goes that it was his aspiration to replicate that sound, as closely as possible, that inspired him to acquire the ability to produce the ornate playing for which he is known.
I'm betting that you also enjoy Oscar Peterson.
