stepay Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I've had moments in my life when I think Elton John's Levon is just about the best song ever written, and I'm in another one of those moments, so over the past week or so I've been listening to as many versions of him playing Levon that I can find. I love this one (man he was such a good singer before he had the vocal chord problems) - 1 Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?"
Joe P Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Soundtrack to The Wiz. I am supposed to be doing the horn and string parts for a musical in March.
Skinny Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I haven't listened to much music lately. Kinda tired of everything. In the car, I generally either listen to talk radio or nothing at all. I used to spend hours sitting and listening to music at home. (Of course, I was single then, had a lot more free time). I used to love Radio Paradise. Listened to it all day every day at work, when I had a coworker who shared similar musical taste. Some people can't "handle" it. I know that sounds arrogant, but for some people, if it ain't overplayed classic rock, it sucks. I loved Radio Paradise; I have heard and purchased so much different music because of that station. Now, at work, when my current coworker leaves for the day, and I get to shut off the classic rock, the silence is nice. I can still hear a little of the "house" music from the other room. The ceiling speaker in my office has a volume dial, so I keep it turned off. Man, this is sounding really depressing. Sorry to be a downer. I'm just kinda tired of music right now. Stuff and things.

Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth.

Cygnus64 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Listening to a lot of Gospel tracks, since I'm working on my annual Gospel/Symphony orchestrations. Kirk Franklin is quite an amazing musician and writer, this one is going to sound great with a full symphony: [video:youtube]

SHaka40 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Listening to a lot of Gospel tracks, since I'm working on my annual Gospel/Symphony orchestrations. Kirk Franklin is quite an amazing musician and writer, this one is going to sound great with a full symphony: That song is the 2012-2013 gospel equivalent of what Adele's "Someone Like You" was to 2011-2012 pop...meaning I've heard it waaayyy more times than I'd listen to any one song by choice! Don't get me wrong. That's not a criticism. Quite the opposite. It's a modern classic But as a--hack of a--church musician, I've heard enough singers cover this song (and seen enough praise dancers interpret it...) in my travels to last a lifetime And you're right, it should be absolutely sublime with a full orchestra! If this annual event is something you guys record, please share. I'd love to check it out. --Sean H. Yamaha MOXF8, Korg TR76, Novation X-Station 61, Casio PX-320

I've never heard it before as I don't really follow Gospel except for this project, so I don't know which ones are the "hits" or not.

SHaka40 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 As for me, I've been listening to this: http://i41.tinypic.com/2pr8hhf.jpg It's what I've come to expect from Glasper, with his distinctive blend of jazz, neo-soul and hip-hop. Time will tell if I'll give it as many spins as the 1st Black Radio project, but it's certainly in the same ball-park sonically (btw: where's Chris Dave? maybe just too busy to commit to another project so soon?). Think I'm ready for another Robert Glasper Trio project, or some other more acoustic-leaning stuff though. ...and I've also checked this out within the last month or so... http://www.bet.com/music/photos/2013/09/the-rundown-janelle-monae-electric-lady/_jcr_content/leftcol/flipbook/flipbookimage.flipfeature.dimg/090613-music-rundown-janelle-monae-the-electric-lady-album.jpg First Jonelle Monae cd I've bought. I find it a lot easier to support young artists who are unique and seem to take the artistry of what they're doing seriously, even if it may not be a style or genre I'd normally listen to. While I think Monae still has room to grow vocally--don't get me wrong, she's got the pipes and range to spare, but I think her instrument will get even more polish, confidence and maturity as she develops as an artist--I'd say the production, creativity, energy and sincerity of this album more than makes up for it! And I hear her live shows are spectacular. ...and of course I always keep my full catalog of Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Bill Evans, George Duke, various gospel etc. close at hand. --Sean H.

Here's another one, I'm assuming it's very popular as I see a ton of versions on Youtube: Yeah, that's definitely a hit (I believe my church's Mass Choir did that one for our Easter service), though not to the degree of "Take Me To The King." In general, the ensemble/praise and worship/Kirk Franklin (at least the stuff he's done over the last 10 years or so) style of music has overtaken traditional choir stuff like the Malcolm Williams song in terms of prominence in black gospel. That's probably overgeneralizing it a bit, but that's been the trend over the last decade or so, at least to my eyes/ears. --Sean H. Yamaha MOXF8, Korg TR76, Novation X-Station 61, Casio PX-320
Six-string-man Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Pick up the pieces - AWB Wow, Average White Band! Haven't thought about them in 20 years. A real blast from the past. ATM, I'm listening to a couple of Aynsley Lister albums. For those not in the know, he's a blues guitarist. Also, Rock-It Science, by Craig MacDonald's (he of this forum) old band. SSM Occasionally, do something nice for a total stranger. They'll wonder what the hell is going on!
