What are you listening to right now?

That's a bit better. Sort of a CSNY vibe in the harmonies.

Now I want an Accordian!

I think I agree with happyrat1. lol
Wonders will never cease!

The second Morse clip was more gentle to the ears.

I've been listening to Jamie Cullum's BBC Radio 2 jazz show recently, and have liked quite a few pieces I've heard. One by Thelonious Monk last night was pretty good! Can any jazz fans suggest some performers I should check out? (for someone who hasn't really listened to jazz before)

 

[Biggles]

Check out some of the Jazz and similar greats: -

John Coltrane

Herbie Hancock
Miles Davis
Errol Gardner
Dizzy Gillespie
Sonny Rollins
Billie Holiday
Ella Fitzgerald
Charlie Parker
Dave Brubeck
Django Reinhardt
Count Basie
Louis Armstrong
Sonny Rollins
Grover Washington Jr
Cab Calloway, check him out in The Blues Brothers movie singing Minnie The Moocher
Candy Dulfer (jazz funk) start with "sax a go go"
Benny Goodman, start off with this all time great concert of him and his orchestra.

Another great pairing is Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan and this is one of the best of all times imho

As a side issue, Wigan Jazz Festival is held each year and is one of the best in the UK, a few years ago we saw an orchestra recreate the Benny Goodman concert, it was awesome, enjoy the original.

Some inbox stuff this week...

Blues and harmonica?
This was my first experience, with Max Geldray in the Goon Shows back in the late fifties.
Good old radios that took and age to warm up, and glowed in the dark.

The picture isn't obviously of Max.

The other, on telly, was Larry Adler.

Both great chromatic harmonica and blues/jazz players.
Lary played the theme tune to the film Genevieve.

What can I say? I was raised in a German household

[Biggles]

Gary.

That explains everything.

Constantly chaffed dangly bits due to the lederhosen and incessant thigh slapping have to have an effect on a guy.

 

[John Garside]

On the other hand, you could go for something like this this:

 

[happyrat1]

Nah... THIS is cutting edge accordion

[happyrat1]

Tonight's theme is worst music videos ever...

That's all for now. Otherwise I could be arrested for violating the laws of the universe.

[CowboyNQ]

Truly awesome Gary. Pleased to see the quality of the songs matched the quality of the videos too.

I suspect number 3 and number 5 were somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

 

[happyrat1]

Thanks Paul.

It just goes to show that bad music transcends nationality, race, and even religion
