Loads of Weather report at the moment, I just love the amalgamation of african/latin/jazz styles that the late great Joe Zawinul and his superb musicians played. 'Nubian Sundance' sounds as if it were recorded yesterday!, and of course 'Birdland', 'Teen Town', 'Black Market' et al...timeless stuff. | ||

I´ve been in a Sergio Mendes mood the last few days myself, repeatedly playing a couple faves... the first one has our own Jimmy J on Bass!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toygcPCgsHw Then the second, a wonderful Dori Caymmi tune that Mender did in the album following "Confetti"... I think this is Abe Laboriel on bass, Am I the only one to think it has a certain Earth, Wind & Fire-ish feel at the chorus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL0i1tTtxU (The sound here is not that good... try get the cd copy or any other source, it simply does no justice to the tune, arrangement and mixing!) And I´ve been giving (as I have to do some boring, tiring desktop work the last couple days) several spins to Brazilian Ed Motta´s "Piquenique" album from 2009. I love this man´s groove!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRYhHJFDK88 | ||

Keavin - Wired That is a true gem; I'll have to dust it off - Head For Backstage Pass has one durn funky bass line. (bow down to Wilbur Bascomb!) Got a hold of Dan Wilson's latest (Love Without Fear) here at work - rather mellow but certainly his best yet. | ||

Weather Report and pre-electronic Miles...though I'm more likely to be listening to the early stuff from the former than Terry (e.g.,I Sing the Body Electric, Sweetnighter). At the other end of the spectrum I've been listening a lot lately to a semi-local group, Trampled by Turtles, from Duluth Minnesota (where we received 10-19 inches of snow today). | ||

Just Folk? It's out in the car or I'd look)(forget the title, too; songs you'd recognize done on various off-the-wall acoustic instruments). With, of course, some Dead & Townes Van Zandt mixed in.

The ecstatic giggles of Xander, who is now 22 1/2 months old. And loooooooves music. The last album I listened to was an experimental Nels Cline trio record from his pre-Wilco days. I've also been listening to a lot of baroque music, usually from Venice Classic Radio online. But most of the time when I'm listening to music these days is in the context of transferring a huge backlog of DAT tapes of old bands, etc., to hard drives. It's interesting to go back to stuff you did 20+ years ago. I'm thinking of compiling my soundscapes and putting an album up on iTunes. I'll probably sell ones of copies! Now that you mention it, Tony, I should check out the newer Meat Puppets. It's been on my list of things to do. | ||

Senior Member Username: hammer Post Number: 476 Registered: 9-2009 |
Edwin. With Xander approaching two years of age you're heading toward Raffi territory (if you're not there already) and a load of other child oriented singers like him. Resist going in that direction if at all possible. If you fail to heed my warning you'll soon be finding out that it's almost impossible to get the simple rhythms and lyrics to songs like Baby Beluga out of your head even if your in the middle of the jam section of Dark Star | ||
| edwin
Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1743 Registered: 5-2002 |
Uh oh. I've never heard of Raffi. I will be wary. Xander does have an affinity to for a bunch of songs on Youtube, especially if there is a school bus involved. But, we limit him to one 2 or 3 minute video a day, so it's not too pervasive, despite how nauseating some of the singers are. I will say that Xander sings a lot. I keep trying to record him, but he gets distracted by me and stops. He makes up songs endlessly. And he can sing all the way through the ABCs! . A few days ago, we had a bass and conga drum jam. So, lots of excellent music going on here these days. The cheesy stuff is held to a minimum. Oh yes, he also discovered the piano a couple of weeks ago when we were visiting my parents. He and his cousins started all playing at once. One cousin just played one note over and over and the other cousin banged out some random stuff and got bored, but Xander really started to explore the melodic possibilities. You could hear him really listening to what he was playing and experimenting with it. I was pretty amazed, given that his cousins are 5 and 7 years older than him.   | ||

Edwin: You might want to check out Burl Ives' old records, if you can find them. Great, intelligent, kid music without the unhealthy dose of sugar common to more modern kid music (i.e. Raffi, Barney, etc.). Bill, tgo | ||
| edwin

Great idea, Bill! Also Pete Seeger, Arlo (it might be time for the Motorcycle Song) and others have excellent kids tunes. A friend of mine made an album about 15 years ago called Kids Are Funky People, Too, which I should dig out. I love My Life In The Bush of Ghosts! Hugely influential to me in the 80s. | ||

| slawie
Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 613 Registered: 8-2002 |
I own the albums; Unorthodox Behaviour Moroccan Roll Livestock Product (I love it also Juan)and Do they Hurt John Giblin plays upright bass on the Product album and also Do they Hurt. Another superb bassist. These albums were available as import albums in Australia so the cost was high and availability was low. Such are the burdens of living in the colonies during the 70's and early 80's. The thing that surprises me the most about the band is Phil Collins on drums. I earned a new respect for players that do the mainstream thing and also expulse expressive talents with their chosen instruments in a free creative environ. I think I may drop the needle on an old Alphonso Johnson - Spellbound album I found. Iv'e got to get me a dose of Chapman Stick. Hey I just realised the Phil Collins (Genesis) and Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report) dotted line connection. Edwin what a pity you missed that gig, I would have given my eye teeth to see them performing live! Wolf, I am glad you liked the track. Jazz fusion in the 70's was and still is a large influence on my playing. My mind says yes but my fingers have a different agenda. slawie | ||

A band I played back in the day covered Nuclear Burn and Disco Suicide. I saw Brand X at a long defunct concert club called B'Ginnings in the western suburbs if Chicago. At that time I think Kenwood Dennard was on drums as Phil was touring with Genesis but could be wrong. Keith (Message edited by keith_h on April 24, 2014) | ||

Another Brand X lover here. 'April' from product was one of the first fretless solos I learnt. very tasteful. Giblin went on to provide some of the best bass lines on Kate Bush's work. I'm currently listening to a huge mix of female vocalist stuff in preparation for an audition tomorrow. graeme | ||
