Ok. begin: Flaming Lips, commercials end: shaved vagina, capitalism, Brad Pitt, grammar I love this place.

Jimmy Smith, the original B3 master. I'd recommend:

Absolutely. Those guitar harmonies at the end, that Jeff n Pat play on the 2nd half of Nels' solo, sound very Thin Lizzy-esque to me

Wasn't this thread about the Flaming Lips' music being in a commercial? Now I guess we're talking about capitalism and shaved vaginas? Someone help me out here.

I got "Tomorrow The Green Grass" a couple of days ago and its really starting to sink in now. I love the harmonies.

I think its a little unfair that, since Nels has the ability to "shred", he gets the distinction from some as not being feel-oriented guitarist. That bothers me because the guy pours his heart into the music and plays with tons of feeling. Just the ability to rip it up doesn't detract from the soul he puts into it.

awesome, thanks

Why am I just now finding out about this indiejazz.com? Thanks for the link. I'd like to recommend Steve Lehman, an alto-saxophonist from New York. His music is of the cutting-edge variety, lots of rhythmic exploration and use of electronics. He has and continues to play with Anthony Braxton. I got the chance to see Steve and an acoustic quintet in an amazing intimate venue in Philadelphia and it was killer. Check him out. I'd also like to recommend checking out Ars Nova Workshop, a Philadelphia company which brings alot of cutting-edge/avant-garde jazz artists to Philadelphia. Eve

Oh yeah, forgot him.

Robbie Robertson Curtis Mayfield Ani DiFranco Kenny Burrell Those 4 stand out as my definite favorites. I like lots of other guitarists, but not enough to call them "favorites." Honorable Mentions: George Harrison Skunk Baxter David Gilmour Alex Lifeson Wes Montgomery Grant Green Larry Carlton (for his work with Joni)

Is that David Gilmour with The Who?

That's all I need to say. There's not a single live album that I've listened to nearly as much as Curtis/Live!. I actually can't think of another live album in my collection besides Rock of Ages, which is hit or miss for me. I don't generally like live albums. Curtis/Live! is so raw and beautiful. Its a welcome respite from the huge arrangements of his studio albums at that time.

The acoustic bonus tracks for My Aim Is True are classic. I've been under the impression they were recorded on a reel-to-reel machine in EC's bedroom. Take off your shoes, hang up your wings Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug Savor the things that sobriety brings Drain in the last from a jug But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do 'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue I can't resist you, I can't wait To twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall There's nothing I love better than a fr

HOLY SHIT, YOUR AVATAR! Oh man, that sketch was classic. Thanks.

Ah, good call my friend. My fav SD record. I'd like to add: Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die Sam Prekop - Who's Your New Professor? Curtis Mayfield - Roots 10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe Lisa Loeb - Firecracker (Say what you will. I dig it.) I'd like to mention Joni Mitchell, but I don't really like Clouds very much.

Just remember, you don't need a song with lyrics. A Coltrane rendition of a ballad would do fine. I'd recommend "Time After Time." Or most any jazz ballad, really.

Just got it today. Still sorting through the cacophony, but I think I'll dig it after about 30 listens. Just got this today, too. Loving the hell out of this one. Only listen if you want to be confused.

It would have been so amazing to see Dr. Dog open for the boys. I've seen Dr. Dog plenty of times and they just put on such a great show, you can actually feel how much fun and joy they are experiencing. Next to Dr. Dog as a dream opener, I'd like to see The Sea And Cake open for Wilco. It would be a huge Chicago love-fest. And they're a kick ass band.

Oh mother of god, thanks to whoever posted the mp3s. You have helped me relive the religious experience that was that show.

Sounds like something I'd dig.

Holy hell, that sounds freaking amazing. Unmarried, but I would have to say "A Hundred Dreams Ago", a rather rare Duke Ellington piece from the album Piano In The Foreground. Its a beautiful song, a nice, slow pretty song with a little stride piano in there. Actually, any Duke Ellington ballad which consists of simply Duke on piano sans orchestra would be a great wedding song. Here's a link to a clip of the song

I began my jazz odyssey with Coltrane doing standards. The Stardust album, in particular. Coltrane doing "Time After Time," not to mention Red Garland, its a wonderful piece of jazz. That's my favorite Coltrane. His later stuff is almost a chore to listen to, at times. Although I love the revolutionary ideas behind it, and McCoy Tyner, its hard to listen to. And Duke Pearson is another who doesn't get as many props as he deserves. Great pianist, but more importantly a great composer.
