Another reggae tune...

Careful, don't mess with Keith... ...unless you're Chuck Berry... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClgtoM2RwQY

Rare Keith 45 of a Jimmy Cliff reggae tune -- from the late 70's... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05_DYFsTbVw And a nice live version of "Take it so Hard", a song from his first solo album, but from the tour for his second solo album... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-hDxTVvG-4

Finally, a track-listing -- many thanks for posting that. Very tempting. Any other reviews, from board members, or otherwise? (Or on-line samples??)

So, if the the Nov. 5th date is accurate, then (according to "Miles Ahead"), the 3rd disc of material may include a few (3?) tunes with Chick on acoustic piano?! (source) Full track-listing available at the link I've provided above, but here's the relevant footnote: Corea begins the first concert on a malfunctioning electric piano, but he gives up on it -- after a short interval, he plays acoustic piano for the remainder of the concert. Davis's choice of tunes ("Paraphernalia," "Nefertiti," and "Masqualero") was probably influenced by the lack of an electric piano. ALSO, I see that the DVD is NOT the same concert as was issued with the "Legacy Edition" Bitches Brew set. Other than the first disc (which I have an original Japanese issue of, called "1969 Miles") - this entire release will be new to me.

Nice live version of "Big Enough"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18A3unsU-x8

Used to have Keith's 2nd album, but never connected to it as deeply (got rid of my copy eons ago, but wonder if I should seek one out again?). There's also a live Keith Richards album recorded during the tour shortly after the 1st album, which is pretty strong iirc (I still have a copy, but haven't listened to it in ages). Another couple nice ballads... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuo_KqpZEwc

"Talk Is Cheap" has one hell of a line-up, IMHO... Keith Richards – lead vocals, guitar Sarah Dash – backing vocals, duet on "Make No Mistake" Charley Drayton – bass guitar Steve Jordan – drums, percussion, backing vocals Ivan Neville – piano, keyboards Patti Scialfa – backing vocals Waddy Wachtel – acoustic, electric, and slide guitar, production consultant Bootsy Collins – bass guitar on "Big Enough" Michael Doucet – violin on "Locked Away" Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural – accordion on "You Don't Move Me", "Rockawhile" and "Locked Away" Johnny Johnson – piano on "I Could Have Stood You Up" Bobby Keys – tenor saxophone on "I Could Have Stood You Up" and "Whip It Up" Chuck Leavell – organ on "I Could Have Stood You Up" Maceo Parker – alto saxophone on "Big Enough" Joey Spampinato – bass guitar on "I Could Have Stood You Up" and "Rockawhile" Mick Taylor – guitar on "I Could Have Stood You Up" Bernie Worrell – organ on "Big Enough" and "You Don't Move Me", clavinet on "Make No Mistake" and "Rockawhile" Jimmi Kinnard – bass guitar on "Make No Mistake" The Memphis Horns – horns Willie Mitchell – horn arrangements The tune "Big Enough" features Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, and Bernie Worrell !! And another favorite Stones track with Keith on lead vocals...

I've never been a huge fan of the Rolling Stones (there's probably about 8-10 songs I really like, but none of them are the obvious 'biggest' hits) -- but I have to admit that an album I've always loved -- really since the day I heard it -- is Keith Richard's first solo album, Talk Is Cheap (from 1988). Here's a couple good Keef clips to get us going, and I'll probably post others to prod the discussion along... To be clear, I'm not trying to make some huge case that Keith is better than Mick, or vice versa -- I think both are clearly acquired tastes (and probably Keith more so than Mick). Still, I think Keith brings something unique to the equation at times (particularly since the early 80's), when he's out front on vocals. There are probably a good dozen various tunes with Keith on lead vocals that just slay me practically every time.

Overall, the episode was a bit better than usual - but the bar has been pretty low of late.

And here's the string quartet (or part of it)...

Here's the wind quintet (with trumpet interludes by Ornette himself)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2vFsSttbbE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4zrx5Z2FmM

Agree it got better by the second verse, but I was rather disappointed by the particular tunes they played (not that I was expecting anything much different). Something more along the lines of this would have been nice (an excuse to post this great clip)...

I really prefer "Skies of America" over "Forms & Sounds" by a wide margin -- and I (otherwise) LOVE a fair bit of 20-century string quartets and wind quintets. "Skies of America" really speaks to me. "Forms & Sounds" doesn't.

Two 90-minute cassettes I made in college, and played to death round about my Junior year (circa 1989)... Side 1: Kind Of Blue Side 2: Nefertiti + the individual track "Prince of Darkness" (from The Sorcerer) Side 1: Mode For Joe + the individual track "Gary's Notebook" iirc (from The Sidewinder) Side 2: Power To The People And to this day, Nefertiti and Power To The People remain my very favorite Miles and Joe Henderson albums...

I'm as big a fan of Charles Ives as they come, but I can't imagine he'd be a very good dinner guest. Or even reasonably good. Or even remotely good.

Just got a copy of this (finally). I'm not quite yet all the way through it (just on track 5 of 9 as I'm typing this) -- but, good golly, there's some mighty fine playing here. Reminds me more than a bit of Harry Whitaker's "Black Renaissance", and some other similar mid-70's efforts. The Dusty description mentions some similarities to various Mizell productions, and though I get what they're saying, I think the playing here is a LOT deeper (normally Mizell stuff gives me the willies, but this doesn't). Also reminds me of more than a few 70's (post-"Capricorn") Eddie Henderson dates, though the vibe is a little different. Maybe the most 'fun' date I've heard in a good long while.

How is it even possible that a biopic of Buddy Bolden could be produced before a biopic of Miles.

Not so sure those recordings with Pope are lost. I've forgotten the details, but I know I've read around here that there's a good chance they do still exist. My memory of the details is pretty foggy, and the person I heard it from around here hadn't ever heard them (and I'm almost positive they don't circulate), but I do seem to remember getting the very strong impression (from a reliable source) that they possibly weren't lost.

Very nice, thinks for posting this.

Here's the quote from an upload on Youtube, all cued up and everything... Celine at 1:28 Note: the quote is only two phrases long (barely 9 seconds, if that), and the cue I've linked to starts about half a second before the quote.

René McLean, and father Jackie -- recorded together a number of times, close to half-a-dozen albums by my count.

I saw a recent BBC doc recently on-line, that measured people's "hunger" both when they drank a couple big glasses of water before each meal, and when they didn't. And they ALSO measured people's "hunger" when they made a sort of "soup" out of the exact same food that combined the water and the non-water food. Drinking the extra water has some effect, but fairly slight. The thing that REALLY had an effect was the "soup" option of (essentially) drinking the water and consuming the food AT THE SAME TIME (in one impossible to separate "combined" package). The soup oprion won, hands-down, and by a mile (iirc). (I think I've got a reddit thread about it saved (which is where I first saw it), that I might be able to find, if I dig a little.)

Adam always seemed like the nicest and probably the most approachable Beastie. Plenty of their tracks I love to this day. "Root Down" and "Sabotage" are the first two that come to mind. RIP.
