I posted about this band in the "What have you heard live recently?" thread. Listening to the CD today has confirmed for me that this is a great trio. It's trombone, bass and drums. On drums is one of my favorites, Frank Rosaly. This is good stuff. And, I promise, it's not too weird. CD...

heh. With me being an NFL fan and my being a college football fan, that's about all that is on our TV too.

Back at ya, Dennie.

I forgot to mention that listening to this music will make your life better.

Don't worry about it. I had to see this stuff live a few times before I'd ever listen to it at home. But it is amazing. The musicians are very good. But it ain't easy listening. You have to get to the point where you are totally in the song with every note and every beat. When that...

I found another video of a jazz show I saw here in Lexington. This time it's The Thing. Well, really it's The Thing minus one guy, but plus Joe McPhee. The Thing can get pretty wild, but this is pretty calm. EDIT: I'm listening to this as I click around. It gets really freakin' good the last...

I was looking for live footage to post for the "What have you heard live recently?" thread and came across some shows I have been too. But not recently. Then I remembered that I had discussed these guys in this thread. So, I'll post it here. Earlier I posted I list of jazz bands that I like...

I saw Rangda last Sunday, 9/12/2010. I knew nothing about this band, but I had a few friends who were pretty excited about it. Now, given that Rangda was playing the after party of a three-day music festival late on a Sunday night, right before a Monday on which I had to wake up at 6:00 am, I...

No prob. I'm a huge fan of the bad, but inevitable joke.

Same here, most of the time. So she stays at home, and I go listen to some great shows. She's always welcome, of course. But bad taste is a hard thing to fix. But one night I did get her out. And, get this, she knew that we'd be sitting on the floor of some very small art gallery, listening...

On Tuesday night, 9/14/2010, I saw the Jeb Bishop Trio here in Lexington at a nice little place that used to be a Cajun restaurant by day and the occasionally a live music space at night. Now...well, I'm not sure what it is now, but lucky for me, the space is still occasionally used for live...

All good points. But I think the problem of "Faithfulness to what?" remains, even if we accept everything you said. Depending on how one answers that question will determine how much of a role measurements will play in the evaluation of faithfulness. I think the biggest problem is that the...

I've got to tell say that it also had bugged me how "Alternative" music can be so mainstream. However, I think that the "avant garde" section will always offer alternative music. At least the section at my music store seems to keep up with the times (a judgment made up my very little...

I used to love listening to that album. I don;t think I have it anymore. But my wife may. It'd be nice to spin on a good system and see how it sounds. I imagine it would be very enveloping.

Those comments are great, especially the "cuckoo music" comment. It is certainly not easy listening. But if you really want to pay attention there is good stuff there. By the third time through, I was rocking to it like a mo-fo, in my airplane seat of all palces. It is true that they use...

If you can fart like that, please record it and send me a tape.

Ha Ha! I LOVE track 1. Especially when it gets to the crazy, just-about-screaming point somewhere in the middle. If you can get through the other tracks, then you can make it though track one. Be bold. Track 1 is just one of those songs that takes a awhile to digest all the parts. But once...

I know I have mentioned Vialka over at S&V, but it can't hurt to mention them again. This guitar and drums duo is AMAZING. You will not feel like you are missing out on anything just because they are only a duo. In fact, each song will offer up more than enough. It's fast paced music, with...

Never thought of this. Good point.
