Best Music Ever

[Hornbein]

Kate Bush at the Hammersmith 1979 ish

She changed everything. Invented the modern pop music show.

Here's a great concert from one of her best friends.

 

[Hornbein]

Japanese popular music : hot fast and tight. TV rules : you've made it if you have the theme song for a show. Jazz is popular. The latest hit is Mixed Nuts.

Drum cover. From France!

Forgot about this song:

 

[StevieTNZ]

Oh my....!

 

[Hornbein]

Oh my....!

Shades of Uptown Funk and Norwegian Wood.

RIP Jeff Beck

From Jeff Beck and the Yardbirds

Over, Under, Sideways, Down (1966)​

Heart Full Of Soul (1965)​

Guitarist Eric Clapton left the Yardbirds in March 1965 because of a perceived shift in musical direction. Inspired in part by Jeff Beck, who replaced Clapton, the group began to experiment with different musical styles. Beck had more varied influences and used electronically enhanced guitar effects, which he brought to the group's sound.

Shapes of Things (1966)​

just to add to that, Lovely demo from him here

 

[BWV]

This is a fantastic full concert

Rediscovered this song yesterday:

 

[Interdimensional]

 

[Hornbein]

Oh that's nice. Something I didn't know existed. I'd expect you'd like Hiromi Euhara's latest with a string quartet.

 

[dlgoff]

Love this guy:

 

[BWV]

 

[Interdimensional]

Oh that's nice. Something I didn't know existed. I'd expect you'd like Hiromi Euhara's latest with a string quartet.

Yes very much.

Dang, I thought they would be improvising four-handed. That would be SO cool.

I'm glad that improvisation is today increasingly tolerated in the classical milieu. Van Beethoven and JS were famous for it. It may be making a comeback.

 

[Svein]

What about contra bass songs?
Or some russian romance?
From bass to sopranino - worlds apart.

In memory of Martyn Bennett (17 February 1971 – 30 January 2005), a Canadian-Scottish musician who was influential in the evolution of modern Celtic fusion, a blending of traditional Celtic and modern music. He was a piper, violinist, composer, producer and innovator. His compositions crossed musical and cultural divides. Sporting dreadlocks at the height of his performing career, his energetic displays led to descriptions such as "the techno piper".

Swallowtail - I heard for the first time tonight. Then I heard that he had died from cancer, just a couple of weeks shy of his 34th birthday.

The Ultimate in fusion music?

It's possible that these musicians have never met face to face. Indeed it is quite possible that when this was made they were all on different continents.

I believe that that synthesizer solo was programmed, not played. That's fine with me.

They have tried to duplicate this success but have so far fallen short. Trap drum genius Travis Orbin usually hires out to play metal music.

 

[Hornbein]

Best ever in Japanese fusion. Fusion burned out fast in the West but survived in Japan. So these women have grown up listening to it.



The drummer learned to sing Chick Corea's Spain before she could talk. Her Dad wrote the first tune.

 

[BWV]

 

[Hornbein]

The ultimate in funk from Was/Not Was. Featuring Marcus Miller on ebass.

 

[Hornbein]

Double lead guitar & sweep picking

 

[Hornbein]

Yucco Miller -- Hyperdrive

About as intense as it gets. Yucco later gave up on this and became a comedian.

Funky! Not keen on very trebly bass though but great playing.
