Damien Rice - Blowers Daughter

Funny how something so simple can reach you in a way this song does. Soundtrack to the movie "Closer". Good movie.

Check him out. here

I just love that... not!

Recently ordered and received the cd 'Outcast of the Island' a solo effort by Colin Bass, bass player for the longtime prog band Camel. Good stuff, some of it quite Camel-like, some of it not. Founding member of Camel, guitarist Andy Latimer, appears on a few tracks sounding, as usual a bit like David Gilmour. This cd hasn't left the player for days, a must have for Camel fans, if you can find it.

Queensryche-the art of live on DVD video. It's pretty good. Not the best recording ever, but it rocks once the speaks are properly set up.

I am listening to some new stuff I received yesterday:

WILCO - A Ghost Is Born
INCUBUS - A Crow Left Of The Murder
LARRY CARLTON - Deep Into It
IRON MAIDEN - Fear Of The Dark

The Larry Carlton CD is my first experience with his stuff. I had heard his work on Steely Dan records (?) but this is my first cd of his. Good stuff. I may buy more.

More Larry Carlton...

I am listening to some new stuff I received yesterday:

WILCO - A Ghost Is Born
INCUBUS - A Crow Left Of The Murder
LARRY CARLTON - Deep Into It
IRON MAIDEN - Fear Of The Dark

The Larry Carlton CD is my first experience with his stuff. I had heard his work on Steely Dan records (?) but this is my first cd of his. Good stuff. I may buy more.

You may want to check out "Sapphire Blue" by Larry Carlton. Very nice...his best solo work in years IMO. Don't know Deep Into it...is it new?

I bought the debut release of "Blues Travelers" on CD recently. It is SLAMMIN!
I think it's their best CD I've heard. I also have "Four" and "Straight Till Morning" and this one blows both of them away.

Also been listening to "Birds of a Feather". An all-star tribute to Charlie Parker featuring Kenny Garrett, Roy Hargrove, Roy Haynes, Dave Holland, and David
Kikowski. Awesome straight-ahead jazz.

Played one of my old favorites the other day...The Chick Corea Akoustic Band CD from 1988. Corea, Pattituchi, and Weckl playing standards. Cool!

Alvin Lee

Aspaceintime,

Were you implying that you saw Alvin Lee playing live someplace in Tennessee, or just that you were in Tennessee, listening to some Alvin Lee albums?

I haven't really followed Alvin Lee since college (mid-70's), and don't know much about any post-Ten Years After music, other than the album he did with Mylon Lefevre (spelling?). I've always like his playing, and felt that TYA was somewhat under-rated as a band. Seeing TYA live was also a treat.

Speaking of Lee's, I also like the guitar playing of Albert Lee quite a bit - I got introduced to him via some guest-solos he has done on various Dave Edmunds songs (one prime example being "Sweet Little Lisa" off of Edmunds' "Repeat When Necessary" album. Very tasteful rockabilly.

Keith Jarret - The Out of Towners

Another great live album by Jarret's trio. After hearing this album, I have now put every Jarret Album I can find on my Amazon wish list. I know where my money is going when I get some extra cash

An extremely talented musician. My introduction to Keith Jarrett was with the Charles Lloyd quartet. Back in '69, I remember driving the desert of southern New Mexico, where I was stationed, with Lloyd's "Live at Monterey" in the 8-track player. Barely nineteen when this album was released, Jarrett was playing like a pro twice his age....

How is the new Audioslave disc? I really liked the first one.

Fourplay

Lately I've been listening to a lot of "Cool" jazz (hate that description), particularly Fourplay. Guitar:Lee Ritenour/Larry Carlton Keyboards: Bob James Base: Nathan East (Clapton's Bassist) Drums: Harvey Mason

Not a bad line up. Sound quality is great.

I'm not a huge Fourplay fan...but I do have their first CD "Fourplay" and recently bought the same on DVD-A and the sound IS incredible.

They are definitely some of the better "Smooth Jazz" artist sthat real
jazz fans have to put up with just to hear jazz on the radio. I find the local college or public radio stations...towards the beginning of the dial ten to play a better selection of real jazz...and will throw in some acceptable smooth stuff like Fourplay, Dave Sanborn, and Joe Sample once in a while.

BTW...if you like Ritenour...he's got a great live CD called "Live in LA".
Check it out...it's excellent!

As far as what I've been listening to lately? Bought a Roy Haynes CD.
Birds of a Feather, featuring Dave Holland, Kenny Garrett, Roy Hargrove
and it is outstanding. Also threw some old Coltrane in the CD changer when Elvin Jones died a couple months back and they're still in there! A Love
Supreme, Coltrane, Favorite Things, Ascension. Finally...bought the new
Dual Disk (DVD on one side/CD on the other) of Miles Davis Kind of Blue.
Has a 5.1 24 bit mix, and 2 channel...plus nice documentary of the making of the historic album on the DVD side with interviews and film footage from the studio. Now that's cool!

Raffi - Banana Phone (on endless repeat in Winamp)

Not bad swing, especially for a kid's song.

That song is sweet.

Currently listening to...

Him - Deep Shadows and Brilliant Lights

and

Canon and gigue, 3 violins & continuo in D major.

Only problem is Im listening to it from some Bose Triports

Dont worry they were free.

Im in the middle of buying my first entry level audiophile system so I have nothing to listen to music on except my computer. Double
