Anyone heard of the "New Legends"? They've got the sax player from Tuatara. On "The Best Of Cookin'" CD one track 7. Ubiquity is the label. That whole 2 cd set is aaaaiight listerneing.' Seriously- I dig amoebic, classic and mutated jazz. With a groovy time signature. Haven't been able to find the "New Legends" with Skerik. Ear candy. ON A SERIOUS NOTE Listen to more good music, y'all. Seek it out. It doesn't neccessarrily come from your earpods./ Ipods can be a useful data storage device. LIVE MUSIC> But seriouslee. All that ails us, troubles us, with a groove- all that bad grease can be laid to rest and remove us. With good music. Gonna build a sound system on the Buell. | ||

There is no such thing as "good jazz". Sounds like 7 people all playing different songs. The only way you know the song is over is when everyone plays one note really loud.  | ||

When my youngest was in high-school she played sax in the jazz band. That was the first time I ever enjoyed listening to high-school music being played. That's what is great about internet radio, I can go on and find all kinds of stuff I'd never hear around here. | ||

I make a lot of Jazz music. Not on purpose. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I do too. Every time I have the burrito platter. | ||

The best sax I have ever heard was a guy named Sil Austin - He had a hit in the late 50s or early 60s of "Danny Boy" Maybe some of my generation will remember. | ||

Found it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUkWqU6qLuc Take the time to give the whole song a listen. | ||

Been gone due to a bad BAD cold... AAllright now you got my back up, Fatty. Either you have a studied and deliberate prejudice against the art form(s), or you have been terribly shielded from truly good stuff. Granted, the Music City aint much for the real thing- I grew up there. Had to actively search out what I wanted to hear. But I make no excuses for your ignorance. Recommended Cures For What Ails Ya, My Friend... Roy Hargrove, "Family". Joshua Redman, "Freedom in the Groove". Joe Sample, "Spellbound". Medeski, Martin, and Wood, "Shack-Man". Jeff "Tain" Watts, "Citizen Tain". Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, various. Victor Wooten, "A Show of Hands" (+++1!) Chick Corea "Akoustic Band" Chick Corea Electric Band, "Eye of the Beholder". Tuatara, "Breaking the Ethers" Herbie Hancock, "The New Standard". Anything by the Marsalis family, including, surprisingly, some great classical recordings. Wynton Marsalis just did an album with Willie Nelson, "Two men with the Blues" which I've been digging a lot lately. I've given away more good CD's to mention. You need help, Fatty. I can help, buddy. You can get past Vanilla Ice, Creed, and Yanni. Don't live your life this way!!! Hech, you got a GREAT music store down there by Vandy- The Great Escape!! Go do some trading. Gitcha some vintage comix while you're at it- mebbe even some Spidey posters to hang over your bed. | ||

Bump. Chase these down: Cyrus Chestnut and Friends: "A Charlie Brown Christmas". This CD is out of print- but as far am I'm concerned, it's the BEST holiday music I've EVAAAR enjoyed. Basically a respectful and strong reinterpretation of Vince Guaraldi's work. Fur Elize will spin your head. Esperanza Spalding. | ||
| 86129squids |
It's President's day, youn's- go stimulate the economy and gitcherself some new music!! Hard to believe the deafening silence of this thread- guess I better go read a Rolling Stone to find out what's popular. Naaahhh.... | ||

Damn squids, you got some good taste in music. I never expected to see MMW or Chick Corea pop up on badweb. Kudos. I have a pathetically disorganized collection of cd's, probably 300 or more by now. Jazz is the direction I've always known I would go in eventually, but for now I just have a sprinkling of jazz among all my bluegrass, folk, jam rock, hard rock, etc. The flecktones are in my top 10 faves, though. Medeski Martin and Wood are badass too. I'll recommend little experimental record from a few years back: Bela Fleck and Edgar Myer, Music for two. Bass and Banjo jazz duets.  | ||
| 86129squids |
Glad to be of service- If you don't already have Bela & Flecktones "Tales From the Acoustic Planet" you need to head to your favorite record store, NOW. Local/mom&pop if possible. This would be a great soundtrack CD for the trip to Suches. I've seen Chick play live at the Ryman with Bela Fleck & co. First got turned on to these baadazz musicians at a live show, outdoors on the TN State Capitol Plaza- Victor doing his backflips the whole time, holding the rhythm. First saw Chick and the Electric Band at one of Vandy's great auditoriums many years ago. Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, and Jeff "Tain" Watts are the drummers to beat. Yeah, I like jazz. Weirdly enough, I know more current/young players than I do the older classics. Youn's oughta listen to Friday PM's radio broadcasts on National Public Radio- Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz is great- she always has a good guest on.

Lori Andrews - Jazz Harp (I'm NOT making it up) She was grammy-nominated this year. She and her husband live just a few miles from here and we will hit a few of her concerts every year. You have heard NUTTIN til you've heard a Jazz HARP! Not more than a couple people on the PLANET have a custom-built electric harp! Her husband - Bart Samolis is on bass. We "found" them playing in a park to an outdoor concert a few years back. (Message edited by slaughter on February 16, 2009) | ||

Acav80- judging by your tastes, I would guess you have heard "The Wood Brothers" ... Wood from MMW and his brother.... the music is .... speechless... and the lyrics... damn, speechless even more (pun I know)... just check them out if you haven't already... Cheers-pete | ||
| 86129squids |
No kidding?! I'll go look up Lori Andrews next time I'm at Disc Exchange. I must say, I never thought the traditional harp would serve well for jazz. You did say "electric harp"- that serves to inform the imagination as referenced to Chick Corea Electric band stuff. Let's Return To Forever, Younn's | ||
| Acav80 |
Haven't heard of the Wood brothers actually. I'm a little out of the loop on current stuff since I left TN and came down to GA. All my music friends are still up there so I'm sortof in a vacuum here. SUX. I will look up the Wood Bros. My little sis was playing bass with a Knoxville jazz/swing group for a while recently. Check them out, it's good stuff. http://www.myspace.com/christabelmusic | ||

FeouuuKuinn kewl!! Cristabel and the Jons have played several times at the Shed. Very good musicianship, easy to listen to. If your lil sister is playing bass, YOU MUST get her a copy of Esperanza Spalding. Her debut CD is SMOKIN. She played on Dave Letterman last year, if you can get the vid. <great> jazz, <great> vocals. (Message edited by 86129squids on February 17, 2009) | ||

Acav80- http://www.thewoodbrothers.com/ or Itunes of course where were you at in TN??? -pete | ||
| Acav80 |
I grew up in Powell on the north outskirts of Knoxville. Went to MTSU and afterwards got found a job down here in Atlanta. Should've known better than to move away from sweet sunny Tennessee. I'm working on getting back right now actually. | ||

One of my favorites is Chet Baker. I have this video and recommend a listen. Featuring another of my favorites, Van Morrison on a short vocal with Chet on trumpet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycrhwh206yY&feature =related | ||

Just watched/listened the PBS show on Billy Strayhorn. Killer stuff. With Duke and co. gonna go to bed and dream about the melodies. Blood Count is some serious stuff. RIP Billy Strayhorn. | ||
| 86129squids |
Anyone else get to see the PBS show about the troops entertainment division of the US military? There was some cool old radio stuff to see/hear. It's nice to change up the media inputs occasionally. | ||

I just bought a car, long story, but I've been amazed at the music I've been missing because I've always been riding around in a truck. I'm a bass fan, and Tool sounds amazing again, I know, I know, not jazz(I can get into it for a while but often it seems to me that that they are just playing-like kids in a candy store.) Blues, now that's where it's at. Anyone ever go to the SLC blues show-it's free, beers are cheap, and they have some damn good strings... | ||
| 86129squids |
Jaco Pastorius. Jaco Pastorious Big Band (recent recording.) there's yer bass. Then there's Victor Wooten. John Pattitucci. Victor Krauss. Good ear candy, youn's (Message edited by 86129squids on February 21, 2009) | ||

Hey Folks: Bump. Soren Kierkegaard said "the ear is the truest of the senses". Seek out good music, live and recorded. It nourishes the soul. Heck, even my old hound settles down to listen to good music. | ||
| Acav80 |
lately I'm on a blues kick after watching the PBS blues documentaries on DVD. Man, how some of the old guys used to wail on a harmonica! Checked out the Wood Brothers. I like it. Definitely my type of music. BTW- Guess what I've got? (Maybe nobody here cares) Phish tickets for Knoxville this June! WOOT! | ||
| 86129squids |
Phish plays here, then Bonnaroo. I need to rent a motorhome. | ||
| Acav80 |
I'm sure if you could score a nitrous tank some hippy would let you stay in theirs.  Yeah two nights at Bonnaroo was almost enough to make me pay $250 for a ticket. But not quite. They're playing Asheville before Knox Vegas, too. So if you got lucky with tix and had the $ you could see 4 shows in a week all within about 5 hours of each other. Sigh, not in the cards for me. |
