Quite the risk-taker, that guy.

Phil's definitely one of "the Deserving Many", to quote the title of a Joshua Redman tune. Nice article!

Give in to your hatred! .... says Allen.

I know THIS ain't right!

I like Larry Goldings - a lot! - but he doesn't make me think of Larry Young in his playing very often. Young was often very visceral, and Goldings seems more cerebral to me (for lack of a better word), very controlled and precise. Very much a case of different music for different times. I'm thinking mostly of his work with the trio (w/Stewart and Bernstein), and that album he did with Brecker and Metheny. All of his albums are uniformly good, Tom. A favorite of mine, though, is Earthtones (iirc), with Peter Bernstein as the leader.

Like it! Keep 'em coming! In fact, why don't you send me something to jam on and we'll post it here: continent hopping dueling guitar madness!

I was referring to your iron resolve. I'm still doing my thing, which is qigong and walking. I'd be cross-country skiing if we had snow, but it's been a very mild winter. I see people riding bicycles around town, but that is just too hardcore for me. I'd need much better gear. As soon as spring comes, though, I'll be doing lots more riding.

YEAH baby! Ironman McKee! :rsmile:

I'm glad it's a live recording. I'll be getting this one quickly.

Highly recommended listening.

It's going to come down to some experimentation on your part to see how a phrase played in different positions will lay under the fingers. Sometimes you can tell what part of the fretboard a phrase was played on by listening to the recording, as something played up the neck on the lower strings will usually sound darker than the same notes played down the neck (closer to the headstock) on the higher strings. Even though Charlie played it one particular way, it doesn't mean that it couldn't work another way, so don't worry about being "wrong". There will be one way that will feel more natural and easy, probably. Have fun!

Is "jazz" being used in the euphemistic sense here?

Context is everything, I agree.

I'll add my praise: Excellent show, David.

At all???

http://cdbaby.com/cd/walden3 I saw him here in Lansing a couple of years ago. Very nice tone, and a great player overall.

Double Leslies is such a nice treat. I am definately bringing out my other Leslie for the RD gig this Saturday. If I could, I'd bring it to Baker's, too. Is Baker's where you are planning the live recording? We're recording almost all of our gigs lately. All the better to get the good stuff when it comes. Full tracks.

I haven't seen Chuck online since is signed off with "Have nice futures".

Words to live by.

Guitar, Steve Cotter Drums, Ramone Bonda (not sure on the spelling)

He might be an actual wookie, however.

I finally went for a pair of these, and I couldn't be happier with them. 15db is just about right for onstage. I feel like I can hear everything more clearly, and the sound level is just about right. Loud enough that I don't feel disconnected from the music, and quiet enough that I don't flinch when Randy does those end-of-song bash-outs on his china crash.

That's not Byrum in the photo. Unless his appearance has changed dramatically since the last time I saw him! Definitely not Bollenback in that picture either: too much hair.

I don't recognize his bandmates.

It looked like an older video; perhaps he changed his approach over the years. I think he also worked with Jonas Helborg (sp?). Never been to a NAMM show. Except for Elderly Instruments, I usually can't stand being in music stores for very long. Maybe I should stay away.
