Easy, James Taylor, er wait I forgot Jackson Browne, and of course my new fav Willie Porter. I guess it would be JT. He makes it sound as easy and comfortable as your favorite blue jeans.

OK, to bring this back around,
Go listen to the new tune David Sanborn has that's been playing on XM, "Brother Ray". It is so soulful! Of course there's a guitar player on it too and he plays right in the same mind set. Two great players!

You know, that's a great idea Beal. I think I'll try to learn some sax solos on the guitar. It should add some new perspective.

Years ago, in an interview, Glen Campbell said that he used to learn clarinet solos because they didn't sound like what everybody else was playing on the guitar....

Coltrane recorded a great deal, as you know. My favorite period is after "A Love Supreme": "The Coltrane Quartet Plays...." (Brazilia etc.) I like "Stellar Regions" and "Interstellar Space" as well. The complete Studio Quartet Recordings for Impulse! are in constant rotation. "After the Rain", "Dear Lord", "One Down One Up", "Amen", "Nature Boy"

Then there's the hard bop: "Blue Trane" etc.

Last night, Jeanette&I went to the live broadcast of PrairieHomeCompanion from TownHall in Manhattan.

We've done this for several years, & I usually try to NOT know who the "guest musicians" are gonna' be(to the extent of avoiding NPR during the prior week, and avoiding the placquards near the entry). I like t'be "surprised in my seat"(ShutUpWitko!), as it were . . .

This year was no different.

Renee Fleming.
A BEAUTIFULLY Talented singer! Absolutely Phenomenal.
But, . . I've seen her (twice)before.
Not "complaining", . . just wasn't a huge surprise . . .

Chris Thile (mandolin).
This kid's an absolute MONSTER!!!
Played the ENTIRE Night "in the band" (even Fleming's opera pieces).
Did a vocal/mando rendition of some WhiteStripes' tune that just BLEW the room away!!!
(Nice dark sunburst Collings mando t'boot)

Edgar Myer (bass).
The incredibly BIG tones this big guy can get out of a BIG instrument(s/u/w!). Amazing.
Plucked or bowed, some of these notes you just FELT more than heard.

. . . .


YoYo (f@cking)MA!!!(cello,duh!)

I was flabergasted!!
I had ALWAYS wanted see him perform, and always missed out . . .

The man just EXUDES music!!

I meant t'chime in earlier(but didn't) about the whole Sanborn-thing (which I agree w/btw). Being a singer, I can take a great appreciation when a really "great" musician can coax "human" qualities from his/her instrument. It's long been said that the sax is closest instrument t'mimic human singing. I tend t'argue that it's a toss-up (depending on the song) between a sax or a cello.

Just to watch this man (& I had a great view, too) caress this beautiful wooden box into these OH so expressive notes . .

I was just blown away, . . .


At one point, Ma, Thile, Meyer, a violist & Pat Donohue do the "Wassail Song" AbsoluteMagic!!

I was listening, and I agree it was a great show. I've never been to a live show, but maybe someday. I had to laugh at the part in the news from Lake Wobegon, where he talked about using the cold as an excuse to miss your nephew's Christmas concert. I skipped out on the concert at the school here the other night because we were getting freezing rain, and ALMOST passed on my elderlt neighbor's birthday party yesterday. She's 80 though, and a nice lady, so I went, but my nose-hairs froze walking back across the street to go home.

When I lived in West Virginia, I used to go and see "Mountain Stage" the weekly two-hour live performance program produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting...week to week, absolutely killer...
I still listen on NPR when I get the chance...

That'd be Larry Groce (of "JunkfoodJunkie"-fame) . . .

My "KOZMIK" muse is John Coltrane (as I've noted), but then again, there is the fad of the moment.

Right now, I'd have to say John Mclaughlin in Shakti!!

My fav. John Hiatt. Never got the big success of Taylor, Denver,etc. Fab. writer, solid player, very recognizable voice. Everyone worth mentioning has recorded one of his songs. I would say the Richard Thompson of America. However RT is a better player.

I always loved Hiatt's songwriting (and his playing).
Just couldn't stand his voice . . .

But if you choose Miles Davis, you get Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and John McLaughlin by association! Many others too- even David Sanborn by a shoestring (had to Google that one).
