Hiromi - Tiny Desk Concert

Hiromi Uehara: piano, keys
Adam O'Farrill: trumpet
Gene Coye: drums
Hadrien Feraud: bass

Well, I'm not used to saying this about horn guys, but - that trumpeter plays his effects as well as he does his instrument.  And i must say, a Sennheiser 441 for trumpet?  i thoroughly approve!

She is always interesting; thanks, Dave.

Yes indeed Mr. David, Thank you,  that was FAB !!

Weather Report 125th Street Congress (From, Sweetnighter).


I love the bass line and the use of space on this track. I remember the first time I heard it and it really didn't sound anything at all like it was Miroslav Vitous the Czech bassist who was an original WR member.  I was pleasantly surprised to find it was Andrew White (who not only played with jazz greats McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones but Stevie Wonder) who added the funk to this number, Boggie Woogie Waltz and several other tracks.

Stumbled upon this. 

Which led to this.   

WOW Paul , NICE !! Great stuff !!

Apparently, Elton John and Bernie Taupin were just recently awarded the Gershwin prize; and the award show was just recently shown on PBS.  I didn't see, or know about, the broadcast, but this excerpt came to my attention today.  I remember playing this tune in a short-lived band in the early 80's; it was a lot of fun to play.  And the band here is having a lot of fun; as are Elton and Bernie.

Elton John's Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding performed by Metallica.

Debut performance at Grand Ole Opry for East Nash Grass, playing Uncle Dave Macon's "Railroadin' & Gamblin'" (the beige suits make a comeback, Maddie missed the band memo, or possibly she sent the "wear white coats" memo to the fellas, and they went the beige anyways? Either way, that girl sawed the fiddle in half her first time on the Opry stage)

The Living Deads:
