Everything Esperanza does is amazes me; some of it I like to listen to, some I just appreciate.  But I love watching all of it.......


Peter (who only pays attention to her fingering.  Really.    )

She is a sight, and her voice and playing, a tri-fecta!

Gregory, is this it?  .

Speaking of Prairie Home Companion, this is beautiful; Aoife O'Donovan, .

That was it Dave.

And I like anything Aoife O'Donovan lends voice to.

Listened to several discs by a friends band last week and this song keeps popping into my head.
Test Rosa - Carpet Cube:

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp started the day (Graham Maby!!!!). 
Switched gears hard and went to Phillip Glass - Solo Piano (the Metamorphosis Suite). 
Then reminisced with Sigmund Snopek III - Thinking Out Loud.

Not sure what will spin after lunch . . .  thinking about Manring

~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep - Cullin and Manring - Equilibre.
Wish I could find a link to any of the tunes on this disc . . . . Manring in top form.  He and Cullin jell like he and Hedges did.   

.  Because you don't hear enough 6-tuba jazz bands these days........

Peter

Vijay Iyer Sextet

This may be my favorite Philip Glass piece, .  Would love to see this played live.  Glass gives you plenty of options for where to tap your foot, while bringing different themes and instruments in and out of the piece, all in service to telling the story.

Ray Brown - "Things ain't what they used to be"

Ernie Sykes & Mandy Barnett: 

Ernie and I shared a little house in Hendersonville, Tennessee back in the mid/late-90's... he had an Opry gig (with Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys) and I was in a band that had just taken the leap breaking into the scene. Ernie was a big influence, not as much on my playing, but how to conduct business as a bass player. He introduced me around to everyone in town during those couple years... really went out of the way to show me 'The Ropes' of Nashville.

I just got word yesterday, he's suffered a stroke. Been thinking about him since, and wishing I had stayed in closer touch. 

Anyway, Ernie is a fantastic singer and bass player, and a walking encyclopedia of Country Music (as was) I hope he'll be okay...   

Here's a serving of a long-time favorite of mine whose work always seems to be relevant...Bruce Cockburn

Grandpa and Ramona want to remind you, it's that time again:

Dang - that is this weekend! 

Thanks Grandpa!  Life in the post-HeeHaw world... <sigh>

Chick Corea, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett, and Roy Haynes.  This piece starts with McBride's bass solo, and ends, abruptly, with Haynes' solo, when apparently they decide there's no point in going on from there.  I've long appreciated Garrett's playing, and here it's inspired.  And Corea is, well, Corea.  From the 2010 tour.
