All That Jazz ...

Billy is still rocking at 75 . The band is As tight as tight can be .

Charles Lloyd, I need a better copy of this. I wanted to take it easy and relax this evening. Forest Flower-Sunset,
is melodic, delicate and beautiful. And Dream weaver and Love-In. Relaxing and floating downstream.

I can't hide my happiness, as I post this..a signed copy of David Fathead Newman's 1961 pressing of Straight Ahead.

For jazz guitar can it get any more iconic than this?

For you Steely Dan fans, here's an album Scene 29 by JaR that is in a similar mould featuring Jay Graydon of 'Peg' fame!

Thanks , Graydon tears it up and the chords are jazzy. If only drums and bass was not midi but played, Steely Dan would have been proud.

Yes, most of the rhythm and backing tracks are programmed by Graydon and Goodrum and the production is a little light-weight. But the compositions and the guitar are fantastic.

A classic revisited.

Ranjit Barot has really found his voice with this band. And McLaughlin is a force of nature.

What a night this would have been!

 

[kartick]

A very nice listen.... Try his other albums too, specially Scenery!

 

[himadri]

A nice interpretation of the Classics , the band swings. Rosnwinkel is at his melodic best.

Donny McCaslin - Praia Grande

 

[himadri]

An interesting effort this. Cohen, League and Husband provide a jazzy flavour to the Indian ethos of the song.

Super stuff, Himadri!
