Of course her famous “I can’t make you love me” songwriters song. It’s amazing how far BR’s singing pocket is behind the beat. Tough to do that and have it sound perfect.

I must have heard that song 1000 times, and this performance is still perfectly fresh, and entrancing. It's proper old-fashioned singing. I like that her phrasing and enunciation is completely natural, completely unmannered. And perfectly on pitch without assistance.

 

Cheers, Mike.

I'm listening to this now.

 

 

I am not sure who will read this but after watching this concert I must say the pianist has amazing chops and abilities but I feel his setup/sounds was a fail (IMHO.)

 

Steinways are my favorite but here I thought it sounded bad. A Yamaha CFX, etc should of been supplied. The Roland Wurlizer sounds sucked and felt out of place; Rhodes would of killed. Hated the cheesy transistor organ patch (thin, uninspiring,) the strings - meh. And lastly, what about big red for some Rhodes tones? Once again, great player but get a better tech. I kept asking myself where was Stanley's input?

Billy Cobham/George Duke. I never saw this before; thanks YT algorithm. I saw same group in Boston, also 1976, at Symphony Hall.  I can easily tribute each musician but y'all know about them.  BTW - at 32:00 George killing Rhodes solo and if you continue he plays solo and goes into Zappa-inspired, so great.

Louis Cole is really interesting his work on his own and with Knower.   I like with Louis and his Knower partner Genevieve Artadi  they were even featured in one of Snarky Puppy's video.    That last bit they sliced in from a live show with a full horn section and dancers.

Found this live album by The Funky Meters on Spotify. Seems it just went up today.  I don’t think it’s a particularly well known one (this video was uploaded yesterday and has zero views). Not the greatest recording, but it’s making me feel like I’m actually there at The Showboat Lounge in ‘77.  Must have been a fun gig, seeing as this version of ain’t no use is 24 mins long. Some cracking off-key audience microphone stealing moments too. Glad to know that practice hasn’t changed in almost 50 years.

 

Art Neville giving a masterclass in funk as always. Rhodes, organ and clav featured heavily here. I think this would have been my dream band to be in…if I had the groove!

I never noticed before how much young John Scofield looks like Basil Fawlty. Sorry John!
 

One of my favorite groups of the fusion era.

Steve Lukather's first and eponymous solo release from 1989, what a great classic 80s rock album:

Very similar to Toto's 1992 release Kingdom of Desire with some more 80s flavors in the keys and guitars department, and it features so many cool people as guests.

Instruments: Walters Grand Console Upright Piano circa 1950 something, Kurzweil PC4-88, my voice
