Jazz: America's Music

intentional reference to the earl military backstory

He might have ended up as a great golfer, but what a tragic waste of talent.

with Armando Peraza on congas and timbales provided by Carlos Santana
further evidence Alice was a very well respected musician among those exploring music in the 70's

Alice and Carlos had the same guru!

one of my favorite St John compositions
yet hearing this version now for the first time is quite emotional

John mentored Pharoah
who subsequently helped Alice guide Ravi, Oran, and John Jr through childhood after their father passed at 40.

Pharoah
Ravi
William Henderson piano
Steve Neil bass
Ralph Penland drums

Henderson and Neil are frequent Sanders contributors and their play is filthy but this is the first time i'm specifically aware of hearing Penland play drums

Pedalboard Miles was a damn menace

The other concert I've watched a few times lately is at the other end of the spectrum. Best rhythm section in the world. Freddie Green. Count Basie is kinda similar to Miles in that they both work with space as much as form.

Watch what happens...

The Detroit Jazz Festival is happening this weekend and they have a quality live stream for all of the stages. It's free, unless you'd like to make a donation along the way. Scroll down to see all the stages.

This is the schedule with today and tomorrow's lineups for all the stages. I'd highly recommend catching the Branford Marsalis Quartet tonight (their set begins at 9:15pm Detroit time).

Cheers and hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

I was listening to this walking my dogs in the park and I'm like first off this is just Impressions but slightly altered and called Flavors and second George Benson is ****ing COOKING on this track. I would have guessed it was Pat Martino with those fast eight note runs. George could do anything.

bummed i missed this post

I like this guy's taste in music when I'm waking up in the morning.

I'd love to see Lage do an acoustic set. This is something else.

He does something weird with the chords here. The great Oscar Peterson.
