These jams shouldn't be looked upon about who's better than who, really - it's all about making music- would be boring to have 2 Morse's , 2 Haynes, 2 Schofields.

 

-----------------------

FWIW, Haynes & Sco have some history.

Here's a clip from a few yrs back.

I'll leave the analysis to ya'll.

S0O0O0O0O0O0 Epicly badass. :cool::love: LOVE :love: the keyboards!

 

GREAT playing by ALL.

 

I also much prefer John Scofield's tone here, to the times when he's used way too much plastic-y chorus (blechk); I especially like his use of an octave-down effect here- a Boss OC-3 Super Octaver, perhaps? (I have, love, and HIGHLY recommend a Foxrox Octron.)

Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do?

Just swapped out Tesla"s latest, ZZ Top"s XXX and an old Charlie Hunter Trio CD for the latest from a The Raconteurs, The Black Keys, and Esperanza Spalding, respectively.

 

Also, took mom to see Rival Sons and STP Thursday night. Because there was an un-announced third band opening- Warbly Jets- Mom ran out of endurance before STP took the stage. However, Warbly Jets were pretty good, and Rival Sons utterly KILLED it, with a set list spanning all but their first album, and nearly ALL of Mom"s faves.

 

Here"s one of the tunes WJ played during their set:

There was also this cool Thai reggae tune played during the intermission between WJ & RS, by a band called Job2Do.

[font:Century Gothic]What a performance...I've never seen a singer's sorrow and rage fighting it out for control over her voice - hell, over her whole body - like this. Even before she starts singing, Mon looks like she's been awake and crying for 2 days straight. Given current events in her homeland of Chile, she just might've been.[/font]

I just had a real blast from the past sweep over me & it was thrilling. A friend sent me a YouTube link to some 70's live performances of Tubular Bells by Michael Oldfield. That's an album I haven't heard in maybe 40 years, but man, it sounded great. That was one very talented 19 year old kid who came up with such symphonic richness, & played all the parts himself, minus a few vocals. I just might have to buy the CD.

Rarely do I recall TBells but it was/is a truly new thing at the time (at least for pop-rock !

(& besides the musical aspects, it was exceptionally well-marketed-----& if anyone thninks that's negative or not important :rolleyes: )

Here's a bit of music from one of the most a-traditional Chinese composer's of modern times, Chou Wen-chung.

I'm just learning abt him but this piece, with it's interior thematic coherence & possibilities as a rock stringed instrument performance is racing up the Top 20.

Think of the space enveloped by Beefheart, Zep & Fairport Convention... :D

I enjoyed that Chou Wen-Chung piece. Great stereo separation. The percussion bits seemed to be in their own grasp of time, which made them stick out, but not necessarily in a bad way; you just appreciate and notice them when they appear.

 

As for me, I've mostly been listening to CD's that I picked up at Progstock. Mostly bands that played there, but a few that didn't but had merch there:

 

Pattern-Seeking Animals (a side project for members of Spock's Beard): No One Ever Died And Made Me King. Love the time signature in the verses on this one.

Rocket Scientists - announcing this was their last live performance.

 

[video:youtube]

 

The Cyberium: The Fall (great tune; but I'm not endorsing abduction & serial killing. But hey, it was just Halloween)

 

[video:youtube]

 

Speaking of creepy, District 97's latest album has this spooky track, Ghost Girl:

 

[video:youtube]

 

Discipline : Life Imitates Art - creepy yet catchy (I got to talk with their singer & guitarist, AND Gentle Giant guitarist Gary Green)

Glad ya liked "that Chou Wen-Chung piece"., Danz.

I'm just ;earning abt him following his NYT obit.

Besides being an epitome of progressive Chinese music he was :freak: an assistant to 20th C experimentalist composer Edgard Varèse, whose legacy he tended.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's quite a list you posted.

I'm taking them 1 at a time.

"No 1 Ever Died &...." has a great 1960s70s-style riff & gtr tone but I really liked that piping pop keyboard sound !

Plus they picked a great name whuich works with or without the letter "k" !

 

I'll work through the rest

but in the meantime here's a cat who personified what the physical & mental melding of Eric Clapton & J J Cale...

... & to whom I'm listening to even as I type.

Currently going through my head:
