And thanks for Bear Melt, Wolf. I'm hoping to listen to St. Stephen / The Eleven / Turn on Your Love Light from Live Dead later on today. Right now I'm listening to the rain fall outside the window, aka Live Rain. | ||

You are welcome Dave. That "Live Dead" and that set of segued tunes is a total masterpiece to my ears. I think the rain is music too ,Earth's music, in all of its variations and transitions and segues from cloudy to sunny and then a rainbow ! There we can see the relativity between humanity and habitat and life when we create music .We all know this of course and live it day to day. I just like to talk about it sometimes and feel gratitude for it. It is my belief that reflecting this emotion during the creation of improvised and composed music is a product of the positive life force of humanity . It's just what we musicians do . I really heard that in "Bear Melt", and that whole "Live Dead" album. That has the "Dark Star" on it that l grew up with loving,and can not get enough of. It may very well be playing continuously in my subconscious mind. | ||

brian.. "Moondance." I have to learn this for my new functions band. Not as easy as it sounds. I spent last night listening to a string of James taylor's greatest hits from the front row at Glasgow's new(ish) Hydro. As ever, jimmy Johnson's playing was sublime but I have to admit I spent most of the evening watching Steve gadd's drumming. | ||

Not started yet but I'm going to listen to Stanley Clarke's latest CD in the car in a moment. Anyone heard it and have any views? A friend of mine who is a big fan messaged me this week before I ordered my copy and said he found it very disappointing. That said he held the same view on the last three of Stanley's albums. | ||

My favorite scene from Immortal Beloved has been the Moonlight Sonata scene. Very moving. This reading of the Sonata is a bit faster than most, but within the context of the movie, quite powerful. Today I found that the musician performing the piece for the movie is Murray Perahia; and I found a recording of the first movement by him here (this is the most familiar movement, and the one which is partially played in the movie). Again, it is a bit faster than most, and the phrasing a little different as well. But it is moving and powerful. The faster pace allows more of the melody and chordal movement to be taken in by the listener at any given time, creating a different perspective from which to appreciate the piece. | ||

As a young child, my dad played pretty much only classical music at home (funny, as he managed an Odeon theatre in Scotland where the Stones and the Beatles played, among others)...anyway, I was far more into Beethoven than Mozart; just a different level of intensity and use of the power of an orchestra...considering my musical tastes now it makes sense that I'd go for intensity...as an example, today was the new Orange Goblin cd "back from the abyss" and Electric Wizard's "time to die"...Dad doesn't like my taste in music but to his credit he listened to Rush and could appreciate what great musicians they were and he did come to one of my gigs...Tony. | ||

I wish I could write songs like that; mine all turn into madness and the fringe horror of modern life, which is why the band is named RUMSFELD...writing that type of music is hard to do authentically; I used to write poems to my partner and write poems from my cat(I was the opposeable thumb, so I transcribed from the telepathic...cats are like that...)but I can't write songs like that, they sound awkward and forced...I do appreciate those who can do this though and he should be famous!

Like Button Pressed davehouck. I frequently listen to classical in my shop... too distracting listening to something I can actually play. Lately it's been Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Bach's Brandenburgs'. I have had to put aside recreational listening in an effort to focus on the music for some upcoming Christmas concerts, the main one being a contemporary P & W, to be played the weekends of 11/29-30 and again on 12/6-7. Sorta' makes me wish the Persuader 5 had green and red LED's. =) I am also playing upright bass with two prodigious little girls (sisters) one a violinist, the other, classical guitar & mandolin, for an hour-long program made up of fairly obscure 16th & 17th century Carols. Most are structured repetitiously, like folk music, but with unfamiliar time signatures and often mixed within one song. The measures are not necessarily symmetrical either. It's not quite "over my head" but right at it... just hoping to pull this one off without embarrassing myself. | ||

I always had a little different take on them, having been a senior in high school when "Tango" came out, and techno-pop was threatening the universe. Lindsey Buckingham quitting the band right before the tour... that was BIG news in 1987. That was the band I knew and liked, but they were who turned me onto the Bob Welch, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, and Peter Green incarnations of Fleetwood Mac. I was (and still am) a true fan, and went on to enjoy the next two less successful versions that included Billy Burnette, Rick Vito, then Dave Mason (yeah, *that* Dave Mason) and Bekka Bramlett. I might be one of the very few people to actually own a copy of the "Time" album from 1995. =) Having played in bands that had major personnel changes, that's a hard thing to deal with, even more so I imagine, given the level they were already playing in the early 1970's. Buckingham and Nicks coming in... that wasn't an easy gig to walk into, but they did pretty well. And I haven't ever seen them be anything less than respectful of their predecessors. The endurance amazes me almost as much as the music has... Mick & John just keep on playing. I just try to appreciate all of it. | ||

Joni Mitchell w/ Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorious. What a backing band! IMO, her best work. I remember hearing this as a teenager and thinking WOW - then after rediscovering I know why it's so awesome. I actually think it's some of the best playing by Pat and Jaco too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKb9Ms68ME Stephen PS - Love this thread |
