You're right. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he did perform with Ike and Tina as well as The Isleys, Sam pussy and Little Richard. Didn't see that one coming. Sam pussy Me neither. I have no idea why pussy is in there. I typed in Sam Co oke. On my screen, it reads Co oke - unless there's something going on with the surname Co oke and how much Bruin fans love Matt.

Holy crap. color me blown away by this new song by....wait for it....The Monkees ! It was penned by Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. Nesmith's vocals are really great (as are Dolenz's harmonies). This song is beautiful. I can't get it out of my head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfruDTmFDUAJust listened to it and you can definitely get the sense it was written by Benjamin Gibbard . Who would have thought a quality new album put out by the Monkees at this stage ? Life is full of surprises.

Finally answered a question that has bugged me for years but that I've put almost no effort into answering.
Years ago, I picked up a Wes Montgomery disc called "Talkin' Verve: the Roots of Acid Jazz". For years, I looked for other albums just looking for the last part - roots of acid jazz - because it was clearly a series. Turns out that "Talkin' Verve" is the key. I found three other records - Jimmy Smith, Cal Tjader and Roland Kirk. All familiar names, but what works with this series is the bump and energy of the music they all made that is, I guess, at the root of acid jazz. Impossible to listen to these and sit still.

Good pick up on the Wes Montgomery disc, book. His stuff with Jimmy Smith (OGD aka Roadsong) is brilliant. Like you, I'm not sure what the "acid" reference is about. Do you prefer the more orchestral tracks like "Movin' Wes" and "Sunny" or more stripped down jams like "The Thumb?"

Movin' Wes, Bumpin' on Sunset, Tequila are all great social music but they're also still all about Montgomery's guitar, so you can follow him in them and appreciate his playing in almost the same way you do in The Thumb. But in the end, I'm probably more of a stripped down guy at heart.

I saw a documentary that suggested his versions of popular songs of the day like Sunny, Windy, as examples, were a record company initiative to make him more mainstream to increase his fan base. Like you, book, give me him, his drummer, his bassist, Jimmy Smith once in a while. Done. Just his standard arrangement like on Tequila, Four On Six and possibly my favourite of his, West Coast Blues.

Being a guitar player myself , the first Wes tune that got me hooked , was Besame Mucho , absolutely floored by his technique . Beautiful tone , and his incredible phrasing just blew me away . I've never heard any player swing like that , I'm a huge fan !

Like Beseme Mucho, actually. You play jazz guitar?

It's funny, because I play guitar, but wouldn't say I'm a guitar player, so I just assume that when someone says they're a guitar player, they can really play.

I've been playing for around 40 years , and I'm a fan of many different styles , I've been dabbling in Jazz for around 15 years , I don't sight read , so it's been a slow process , Jazz is basically a complex form of 12 bar blues , and the trick is to weave in and out of the basic blues scale . I'm more of a fan of Jazz/rock fusion these days , I discovered a band a while ago ,The Aquarium Rescue Unit, every musician in this band are true masters. Jimmy Herring handles the guitar duties...let me just say , he does not fuck around , jaw dropping technique , can pretty much play anything that pops in his head . These guys would make the red hot chilli peppers run for hills

I'll be sure and check out The Aquarium Rescue Unit.

"Shut yer yapper, Roger. Floyd box set coming out soon. The early years remastered."
Another Floyd box set. Shine On (7? 9 discs?) remastered stuff back in the 1990s, Discovery came out a few years ago - 16 disc set - and they did "immersive" collectors boxes for The Wall, Dark Side, and Wish You Were Here.
I wonder how much of this re-issue, re-master mania was initially driven by the desire to keep Syd in acrylics. He'd get his royalties for everything he contributed to. And now...well, having heard Gilmour's last album, I'd guess the reissues are keeping him in pints of heavy."
I haven't listened to Floyd 65'-72' as much I used to growing up in the 70s and 80s. Going to pick it up no matter how many pints Gilmour and Mason drink from it.

Going to pick it up no matter how many pints Gilmour and Mason drink from it. I didn't say I wasn't going to buy it...just said there are a lot of box sets! And this one is for the hard core Syd era fan, it seems: "The Early Years 1965-1972 collects studio outtakes, remixes, and B-sides as well as recordings of radio sessions and live performances. Culled together it makes for 11 hours worth of audio and 14 hours worth of video spread out across a mind-numbing 27 discs. Over seven hours of the audio is previously unreleased, including tracks with Syd Barrett dating back to 1967 (“Vegetable Man” and “The Beechwoods”) and a 1967 session with John Latham for a never-released short film called Speak. Also featured: “Moonhead” played live on BBC television during the 1969 moon landing; unreleased recordings from the band’s Zabriskie Point soundtrack; and a new remix of 1972’s Obscured By Clouds. The box set also boasts five hours of rarely seen concert footage, the band’s first five singles pressed on 7-inch vinyl in replica sleeves, and “4.0 Quad” remixes of Atom Heart Mother and Echoes. The price tag for all of this? $550.00. Hopefully you have a rich uncle." - consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/pink-floyd-announce-new-27-disc-boxset-featuring-seven-hours-of-unreleased-music/If all of your uncles are drunken Whaler fans, you can buy the $20 compilation 2 disc set.
