"A Night at the Theater" episodes are pretty cool, I really like the newer tune "After Destruction"

I love McCoy Tyner's cocktail piano.

The Nankai Trio. The James Brown fatback beat goes fusion. Numba One on my hit parade.



That drum fill at 1:00 burns me up. Why doesn't everyone do that? They probably will, sooner or later.

Here's James and the Famous Flames doing the original fatback. They say the drummer is Clyde Stubblefield.



Dennis Chambers said that when he was 13 years old he was so good at the fatback beat that James tried to hire him. James wouldn't provide a tutor though so Mom said no.

Shoko Okubo plays the blues.

 

[Hornbein]

She was at this time 16 years old. It was a contest in which contestants played over the same prerecorded track.

Junior High School band. 13 to 15 years old

Nankai Trio. Guitarist Shoya Kitagawa [Northriver] burning it up.



They are performing in October in Tokyo in tiny jazz clubs. I might go see them.

Japanese punk?

 

[Hornbein]

Japanese punk?

I don't worry much about genres, but I'd say no. Punk had a emphasis on being unskilled. I'd say that ebass slapper has the best chops I've ever heard. Her stage name is F Chopper Kago. I once tried to get her autograph without buying any merchandise. She just smiled and said no.

Japanese rock tends to be a lot faster and complicated than the western style. Even TV shows have theme songs like this. Japanese kids are all energetic. No exceptions.

Japanese punk?

Otoboke Beaver ( https://www.otobokebeaver.com/ ) is probably closer to Japanese punk:

[Hornbein]

There was a punk movement in Japan that died out some years ago. I like this number, which very strangely sounds like English. Is that just some huge coincidence? I guess so.



I once read "if there is ever an anarchist movement in Japan it will be a very well organized one."

Wow, Jon Lord, Keith Emerson and Thijs Van Leer would be impressed I think!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The creativity and talent in this world is astounding

Ballad



Latin



She wrote these instant classics. Damn.

 

[Hornbein]

The Outsiders! A real proto-punk psychedelic band that never made it. Too bad. They're good. Like the Dukes of Stratosphere but real.

 

[Hornbein]

Not Mary Hopkin



The Red Army Ensemble! Can't beat that.
