What music have you been listening to lately ?

[therealkoho]

You must of crossed paths with Frankie and the boys of Teenage Head
We also used to go see Rush when they were playing at high schools

Saw them in Duffy's a lot, and at the Grange of course.

not the Grange, Collins House in Dundas

4 stents about 18 months ago. I have to take a handful of various drugs every morning and even then it took awhile to bounce back. Just 4 months before the heart blew up I had to have reconstructive spinal surgery, and I also needed a hip replacement, obviously the hip is on hold for now, but I don't think I'll have it done. I have difficulty walking and can no longer skate, but I still get out on my mountain hybrid bike. Oh and bummer I can't drink alcohol anymore, it doesn't react very well with one of the medications. Cannabis however is fine, even though I rarely puff anymore. Just have to keep getting high on life, music and the possibility of a SC I suppose, hopefully the boys can get it done.

Before Flea, Claypool et al there was Stanley Clark, the finest bassist there’s even been........

Yes!! He is amazing. Also, Jaco Pastorius. Metallica fans, if you ever wondered where Cliff Burton got some of his ideas for "Pulling Teeth", watch this clip. More specifically, watch around 2:42.

no one is as innovative on the guitar as Jeff Beck, truly the master of tone and feel...........

Loved the Yardbirds. Here with a few others playing rhythm.

 

[therealkoho]

when Beck kind of blew Jimmy off the stage



everyone thinks EVH invented tapping, but Beck's been doing it since the 60's

 

[therealkoho]

great song just love this

Loved the Yardbirds. Here with a few others playing rhythm.

have to laugh Joe Perry has no business up there with those dudes, I mean he's alright but Hammet is a virtuoso in his own right, Page played second chair to Beck and Woody was his bassist for a couple of years

Can’t go wrong with that ...
I will have to go with The Hip ...the experience with the diverse crowd , in terms of ages and tastes and everyone’s having a great time and the music and the size of the small venue ..

 

[Teeder Keon]

Listening to this a bit today ,,, Roy Wood and Wizzard .....

Love the reaction to hearing SVR for the first time.

Yea, saw the Hip at Pub Flamingo in Halifax way back in late eighties, blew me away. The bartender got up and sang between Hip sets, she had an amazing voice, her name was Sarah and I thought at the time she may go big one day. About a year later I realized Sarah was Sarah Mclaughlin.

love Ronnie Lane, his solo stuff was really folky good, got a album he made with Pete Townsend that’s also really good, and one he and Ron Wood made together. Why do the good’n’s always go too soon?

I know jazz isn't everyone's cup of tea but put on the cans and try this out

When Miles got these guys together to make this album(Kind of Blue)all he brought with him were some sketches he'd done and displayed them around the studio, he gave the musicians some basic instructions oh what he wanted for each song that was recorded for the album, such as key and the direct requirements, such as “a series of five scales, each played as long as the soloist wishes”

The bass(Paul Chambers) goes through some variations on the intro of the album version, after that a simple blues that's just as steady as rain
John Coltrane takes the first Sax solo
Wynton Kelly Piano solo (Wynton Marsalis is named for him)
Jimmy Cobb is the metronome behind the drum kit

Paul Chambers + Jimmy Cobb for my money is the best rhythm section in jazz history, Wynton Kelly and Jimmy Cobb have some serious chemistry too. I've always preferred the earlier iteration of that quintet with Red Garland on piano and Philly Joe on drums, but Kind of Blue is a legendary album for a reason.

My son is a drummer and a pretty good one at that, he grew up on this stuff and it has become a part of his dna. His high school jazz band won back to back golds for eastern Canada, an adjudicator who was grading him said he was like a "metronome with feel," for his performance on Quad City Stomp.

That's awesome man.
Always makes me happy to see anyone into jazz, sadly the scene in Toronto is slowly dying. These days I'm more focused on pop music but anytime I sit at the piano I end up noodling some sort of jazz lol. Sucks not being able to get together with my buddies and play a session with Covid going on.
Maybe we can set up a jam session next time I'm out east haha

Wouldn’t necessarily call it jazz, but I do love hearing this guy “noodle” the keys........I wish my brother George was here.........
