Thanks for the heads-up that "Wide and Far" is out there, broph. Reminds me a bit of the first Unity Band record--the "black album." Linda sure sounds groovy. But enough with comparisons. It’s new Pat, and that’s always a blessing. 37 more days....

"Far and Wide" from the new From This Place recording. The vibe reminds me of the vibe from the recordings on
"Still Life (talking).

speaking of keith jarrett, a friend of mine reminded me today about KJ’s incredible album called ’spirits’ . . . . . a double album with scarcely any piano on it . . . . a very, very transcendent and butiful record, that’s what that is.

molesoulsandal Dec 30 2019 at 7:48 AM |
love the salvant album ’for one to love’, especially her original tune ’fog’ . . . . . aaron diehl is such a plus in that group . . . . . . i dig the who . . . . always have . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . also naut, i know that it’s not customary to do this, but in order for us to ’stop meeting like this’, my email address is ’diagonaldreaming@outlook.com’, should you want to drop a line sumtime . . . . . . this life is short, and i don’t really subscribe to that tired old notion that we should all ’hide’ behind these ’monickers’ on these lovely threads and bang out our sweet hearts and souls in relative obscurity . . . . . friendships are often hard to spot here in these cloistered times, so i offer mine unfettered in hopes that we can break open what’s left of our battered world and enjoy each others’ joys, hopes, and inspirations . . . . . also wanted to add that keith jarrett’s ’facing you’ is STILL just about the cat’s meow as far as i’m concerned . . . . . as i, and others, have expressed on here, his ’composing’ is missed sorely (pat says that, too!) . . . . the standards trio is like no other, of course, but when someone can write like KJ can, it would be soooo great to see/hear him do it again!

Just put "Soul Eyes" on hold at the lieberry. Didn’t know of her before. The only relatively young lionesses I’ve listen to of late include Cecile McLorin Salvant, Fatoumata Diawara, Jazzmeia Horn & Billie Holiday. Thanks for the rec, mole-man. BTW, if you get to it, I think you’ll find "Pinball" is a fairly breezy read. / Listened to some Who earlier this afternoon. You gotta admit that Townshend is one helluva lyrical and instrumental genius, and always has been. (We’ve got to stop meeting like this.)

molesoulsandal Dec 28 2019 at 7:46 AM |
i will seek out ’pinball’ - have had it recommended before, down thru the ages, and just never have read it yet . . . . tanks for shout-out about it . . . . . .
also, have been listening to jarrett’s ’nude ants’ . . . . it had been a while . . . . great garbarek on thattun!

naut Dec 27 2019 at 11:03 AM |
And to continue in the realm of music and litrajure for a moment, let me recommend Jerzy Kosinski’s 1982 novel "Pinball," which, although the epigraph doesn’t say as much, was written in part for George Harrison. If you haven’t read it, soul-man, you might find it somewhat absorbing. Much of it concerns classical music, pianists, the music biz, and other related sordid concerns.

saw the harrison interview - terrific . . . . . i think you’ll dig ’still here’, naut . . . . . of course ya will . . . who wouldn’t love a book full of compassion and empathy for other living ones . . . . . . hope every one has a wunnerful day and rest of their lives.

naut Dec 24 2019 at 10:41 PM |
Wanted to tap this in here since we’re sort of in the ballpark: Came upon a fine interview with Harrison on youtube titled "George Harrison - On Fame, Bliss and Consciousness (Last interview)." Thought some of you might find it enlightening, particularly our sandal-wearing compadre.

A bunch of Ravi Shankar, especially from a 10-discer titled "The Ravi Shankar Collection," on EMI, and "Passages," with Glass, which I’ve loved for nigh thirty years. Has anyone read either of Ravi’s autobiographies, "Raga Mala" or "My Music, My Life"? I’m lookin’ at you, mole-meister.

I recently re-foamed a set of vintage BOSE 901 speakers that had been sitting in my friends basement for a good number of years (18 4 inch speakers on all). In giving them a sonic workout, I have been listening to everything from Mark Knopfler (solo and Dire Straits), Paul Simon, Pink Floyd, to Kevin Eubanks and of course Pat Metheny. Recently enjoyed listening the the live DVD of The Way Up. I had forgotten what a complex, great piece of music this was. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Since there’s nothing going on in the news, I’m checking out Joel Harrison’s new, fantastic record, "Still Point: Turning World" (TSE). It’s utterly, unimpeachably brilliant--mixing East & West, guitar, tabla, sarode, sax, traditional jazz rhythm section with a vast panoply of other instruments. This is some terrific stuff.
|

Jazzmeia Horn, a fine young grammy-nominated (not that there’s anything wrong with that) singer who can scat like Ella when she wants to.

molesoulsandal Sep 06 2019 at 11:36 AM |
speaking of bill frisell, there’s a live version of the old chestnut ’on the street where you live’ on the utuber, where BF reharmonizes the pee out of it, and petra haden and hank roberts sing it sooo gorgeously . . . . . frisell has said that petra has one of those voices that you can rub up against musically . . . at any rate, it’s a great version of a great ole’ tune . . . . btw, bassist/singer luke bergmann is, i think, just off-camera, but contributing to the glorious proceedings nevertheless . . . . .
|

molesoulsandal Sep 06 2019 at 7:28 AM |
i love early frisell on the eberhard weber record on ECM called ’fluid rustle’, from 1979.

Bob Smith, I agree 100percent with everything you stated about the new David Crosby release. Yes, the production is
phenomenal. I love it. I wonder what this may had sounded like if it were a CSN recording. Probably completely
different. Its always great to see an artist release the best album of their career after such a long career. I think this is
his best solo work. Its deep.
|
|
molesoulsandal Sep 05 2019 at 9:41 AM |
hey naut - i like that stuff ’bout ’stacked mary possum’ . . . laughed out loud, fer sure . . . . . hornsby’s always been a good ’un, and was so glad he summoned up the ’courage’, as he puts it, to record w/christian & jack . . . . i hope he puts out another record similar to thattun . . . . cheers.
|
|
naut Sep 04 2019 at 5:09 PM |
Thanks for the nudge back to "Camp Meeting," mole. Really good album--even better this time around. I am left wondering what "stacked Mary possum" is. Sounds like some funky Thanksgiving dish served only at the Hornsby table. hehe
|
|
molesoulsandal Sep 01 2019 at 6:35 AM |
bobsmith1 . . . . i feel the same as you about ’here if you listen’ . . . incredible record!
|
|
BobSmith1 Aug 31 2019 at 1:26 PM |
sunship: Thanks for the heads-up on David Crosby: "Here If You LIsten". I thought "Croz" was amazing but this record is a true masterpiece and one of the finest records ever produced by anyone. I also must say that the production and engineering is so impressive that this album should be the "go to" for anyone that wants to hear what is possible in the digital domain. Every single song is an experience in its own right and this album survives multiple listens with something new discovered almost every time. I can’t say I’ve been as impressed with anything in recent or fairly distant memory. David and his band mates have given everyone a true gift with this recording and my ultimate compliment to an artist is, and it very much applies here, that this record could actually change someones life.
|

molesoulsandal Aug 23 2019 at 1:24 PM |
been listening to that terrific bruce hornsby record called ’camp meeting’, w/mcbride & dejohnette . . . great stuff, that apparently pat had a lot to do with encouraging BH to jump in w/both feet and do that thang.

Speaking of guest guitarists: Kurt Rosenwinkel plays some sweet axe on Aaron Goldberg’s album "Worlds"--song called "Oud to Omer" (nice pun). I think you’d like it mole, KR fan that you are. Listening to it as we speak....

patsfan Aug 12 2019 at 12:55 AM |
You’re right , Naut. After Googling the popularity of Pat’s albums, Secret Story
is up there, perhaps behind Offramp, PMG, Letter from home and Still Life.
I’m surprised because Secret Story is more intricate and complex, if I could
describe it. What makes Pat’s music so amazing is the wide breath of creativity
in every album , so under appreciated ! Public opinion is a very poor judge of
musical genius.
|
|
naut Aug 09 2019 at 9:16 PM |
15-20 years is a long drought for a great record, patsfan. Maybe it’s just for the Patheads herein, but I believe franksexton tallied up SS as the top album in the "Top Three All Time Albums" subject. I think it’s one of Pat’s biggest sellers, but I don’t have stats in front of me to back that up. Glad you got back to it. Maybe you finally got ID unstuck from your car CD player? "See the World" is a great tune, as is "The Truth Will Always Be," with Pat’s incredible synth playing. Really not a bad tune on the record--was just mentioning a few I really like.
|
|
patsfan Aug 08 2019 at 12:28 AM |
Naut ... Re Finding and Believing , and the whole Secret Story Album ... you
have aroused my enthusiasm after not listening to it for 20-15 yrs. The Secret
Story Cast and venue was amazing .... you had Toots, Pat’s bro Mike, Will Lee,
Mark Ledford ( bless his soul), etc etc I loved the SCAT, if you want to call it
that ...... really loved it !! And Pat’s hollow body. But most impressive is the
freedom and variety of musical expression ... no wonder it won a Grammy.
But, I really don’t think it was that popular an album ... it went way over most
people’s heads.
|
|
naut Aug 05 2019 at 6:39 PM |
"Finding and Believing" (remastered). One of my top two or three favorite tracks in the Metheny oeuvre. Beyond words, though amazing, uplifting, fantastic will have to do as meek, incomplete stabs at it. Pat’s denouement on hollow body is among my favorite of his solos.
|

just listened to atmos trio doing ’another slip’ . . . . as always, i wonder why somebody would want to sound exactly like pat metheny, or anyone else for that matter . . . . . the whole idea of art is to bring something new, fresh, and inspiring to the proceedings, something from YOUR heart, not somebody else’s . . . . . . . . . . . copycats are just no kind of cats at all. bah humbug.
|
|
Xoto Jul 25 2019 at 12:26 PM |
This weekend I revisited an old Atmos Trio album from 2006. What a great mellow album for a Sunday afternoon on
the porch. You can certainly figure out who influenced them on "Another Slip".

|
|
naut Jul 09 2019 at 8:09 PM |
Yep, it’s a good one. In fact, the entire "triad," or quartet if you count "Croz," of his last few records is something of a musical miracle. I remember one Grammy broadcast, Stephen said, "Can you believe we got David to wear a tux"? Croz walked out looking something like an overstuffed penguin. His production of Joni’s first album is another feather in that wonderful cap of his. Such a good bad boy.

Oystein Jul 03 2019 at 9:06 AM |
The latest form Robert Plant - Carry Fire. The man still produces some fine musical moments. His show in Tromsø
last week, with his ridiculously well-playing band The Sensational Space Shifters, was an absolutely stunning
performance. He may not be a Zep anymore, but he still hits the high notes and has no voice issues at all. Which
isn`t bad at all for a man his age. He gave us new editions of 6 or 7 old Zeppelin tunes, and they all sounded fresh in
their new wrapping.

I’ve been back-cataloging through Sipiagin releases, about eleven in all, and I’d be hard pressed to name another series of records by another artist that rival or surpass his output in quality; as heretical as it may be to say this, Sipiagin may even give Pat’s prodigious outpouring a run for the money. Every album is enormously strong, with outstanding players on all of them: Potter, Rogers, Harland, Binney, Goldstein, Kikoski, among others. Really quite amazing. Can’t recommend any of his records too much!
|
|
molesoulsandal Apr 26 2019 at 1:45 PM |
bobsmith1 - yep, steve kuhn’s always done it for me like nobody else, too . . . . it may be an odd juxtaposition (maybe not), but, in a way, and as a ’piano playing person’, perhaps he rather bridged the gap between brubeck and bill evans . . . . i dunno, but he was playing dances as an early teenager, and there’s just some musicians that ’started young’ like that, that seem to have an innate understanding that this ’jazz’ thing, this improvisation thing, all comes from that ’dixieland’ feeling . . . . again, hard to explain or express, but most of the players that trip my trigger have that ’thing’ (michael zwerin called it ’the cry’ in his incredible book called ’close enough for jazz’) that no matter how ’out’ they might go, they always have the need & desire to occasionally play something that immediately brings it back ’in’ a bit & re-connects with the listener/fellow players . . . . kuhn’s one o’ those guys, fer sure . . . ’course, pat too . . . miles . . . . esperanza . . . cannonball . . . . ornette . . . . . . you know, that whole ’satchmo’ thing . . . straight to the heart at all times, in or out, black or white, dead or alive.
|
|
BobSmith1 Apr 26 2019 at 12:07 AM |
Mole--I was trying to think of the way Kuhn’s playing hits me and it really does like nobody else... yeah "personal" says it quite well and that one word says a lot. He can get into those interior places in a melody, and in all kinds of styles and settings he seems at home.
|
|
naut Apr 25 2019 at 4:19 PM |
Alex Sipiagin’s new record, "NoFo Skies." Really nice album, with Chris Potter on tenor, John Escreet on keys, Eric Harland on drums, among others.

molesoulsandal Apr 25 2019 at 1:55 PM |
steve kuhn/sheila/harvie/moses, ’playground’ (ECM) . . . also, swallow’s album, likewise on ECM, called ’home’, with pretty much the same lineup, just swallow for harvie and liebman & lyle added just fer good measure. dave liebman is an incredibly underrated tenor player - his soprano gets all the raves, and so deserved, but he’s a bloody giant on tenor! that was a fertile period for steve kuhn. his writing was so unique at that time . . . not intentionally so, but just extremely ’personal’, and, as always, with the ’chops’ to back it up.

listening to/watching that gotdam off-the-planet live version of ’compared to what’, les mccann/eddie harris & co. from 1969 . . . . . it’s on the utuber for whoever should seek, and boy howdy it’s the mccoy of all time, sometimes i think . . . . . just the pure ’groove spirit’ of it would be enough, but, no, they gotta tell the whole story of the world’s messiness linguistically, too . . . . pretty bloody great, i say!! ~ and, oh yea . . . sock it to me.

have recently been made aware of alto sax wunderkind francesco cafiso, who is from italy (o’ course) and will be 30 years old on 5/24, but has been playing lights out since his single digits . . . . for the ones who may be interested, there’s all kinds o’ stuff on the utuber of him performing at all ages, one of which is with joe lovano when francesco was 13 . . . . it’s all pretty amazing, especially that in recent years he’s started writing/playing his own compositions . . . . shades of phil woods, cannonball, mclean, bird, etc. . . . . . am sure that pat knows all about him, and was thinking that he might be a perfect candidate for PM’s ’side-eye’ project(s) . . . . . linda may han oh has worked with him on his triple album called ’3’ . . . . . pretty exciting bursting creativity, to say the least!

naut--Huge thumbs up for Premonition. A true desert island disc that still gives back after 27 years. I was so moved by it back the day (Fall ’92) that I actually wrote a letter to Mr. McCandless through his management listing on the CD, telling him how much I appreciated the record. An actual letter, which seems so quaint now. Not sure if he ever got it but it was so good that I felt the need to reach out to him and thank him.

naut - something that can be said about paul mccandless (as well as jan garbarek): if you wanna make your album even better, be sure to have paul (or jan) playing on it . . . . . for decades now, these guys have been dressing up the proceedings with more beauty than humans should be allowed to experience - haha. thanks for the recommendation - nice tune.

Spain Forever. The third release of the "Spain" collection by dominican pianist Michel Camilo and flamenco guitarist
Tomatito. This album is by far my favourite of the three of them. Includes three songs also played in Beyond The
Missour Sky, plus other classics like Piazzola’s Oblivion, Manha de Carnaval, Agua e vinho, a Satie Piece... Tomatito’s
playing is great but the album mood is driven by the beauty and lyricism on Camilo’s piano.

Among the many places you might find this, search youtube for "In Memory of Leroy Lowe." One of the most gorgeous pieces of music you’re likely to hear...today.

A bunch of music from Lars Jansson, a superb Nordic pianist, who often plays trio with Thomas Fonnesbaek, an excellent bassist in the lineage of NHØP, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite upright players.

esperanza spalding - ’12 little spells’ . . . . . . i read yesterday where some ’music critic’ was saying that it requires ’a lot of effort’ to listen to this music, and to ’digest’ it all, etc. . . . . . as always, lazy listening abounds . . . . she’s a modern day musical picasso, and with a fierce ’groove’, and i’m just so glad and thankful that i’m alive to experience it and to be inspired therefrom . . . . . . . . . extra kudos, as always, to the searing guitar sensibilities of matthew stevens, not to mention the expansive drumming of justin tyson . . . . as for the fact that, in this world, that the exceptional is usually ignored & that the mediocre is praised, espy said it best recently on her website by declaring: ’fuck accolades’ . . . . .

saw/heard dexter gordon in 1969 at the ’both/and’, on divisadero street in san francisco . . . . it was pretty great . . . . i think george cables was on piano . . . . don’t recall the rest of the band, but it was stellar. . . . . dexter was soooooooo ’tall’ . . . . we all walked outside on one of the breaks and he seemed taller than the trees . . . . at any rate, it was a grand evening.

Dexter Gordon - Homecoming Live at The Village Vanguard
I was a junior in high school, just on the verge of being into Jazz as deeply I was rock and blues when I heard of
Gordon’s triumphant return to our shores. Up to that point I’d been more into the fusion side of jazz fusion. His
recordings drew me to the other side of things. Soon it was on to Miles’ quintets and Mingus. This LP in particular
became the siren song that led me down the path I still travel today

listening to the first album (of two, both great) on ECM (1978), titled ’terje rypdal, miroslav vitous, jack dejohnette’ - used to play the wheels off of this when it first came out . . . . perfect music . . . aching beauty . . . . can’t say enough . . . . can’t say.

Gerald Clayton: Bond: The Paris Sessions. Hadn’t listened to this in quite a while. Wow, this is such a great trio. Justin Brown is a monster. Gerald has so many ideas floating around in a single given moment, really makes you pay attention.

2 or 3 records featuring young Israeli-born guitarist Yotam Silberstein, one of which, "Sonic Paragon," is lead by drummer Jay Lawrence and has Patitucci & Renee Rosnes contributing their considerable chops. Silberstein is quite good, and I’m glad to have recently discovered his music.

kevin eubanks, man! KE’s sort of an under the radar ’guitar titan’, perhaps because he helmed that ’tonight show’ band for so many years, and some dimwits considered him ’sold out’ and forgot about him . . . . but he was a monster player before he ever took that gig, and he’s even better now! bravo kevin!

Dave Holland Quartet; "Extensions." The tunes"Nemesis" and "The Oracle" are highlights.
Kevin Eubanks absolutely kills it on this record.

popcorn: If you like Jan Gunnar Hoff, you would probably enjoy his trio release "Jungle City" with Alex Acuna and Per
Mathisen (maybe released under Acuna`s name). Some well blended drum`n bass on that one :)

Jan Gunnar Hoff Group’s “Featuring Mike Stern” has more than a few Metheny-like passages. Crazy name for a band,
but Doctor Pizza’s “Late Night Delivery” is good prog/fusion. Entire album is on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/ewFBpBDBaWk. Also been revisiting Rodney Jones’ “Soul Manifesto,” which is as funky as soul-jazz
gets. Also Bireli Lagrene’s new one "Storyteller" and his 2012 fusion release "Mouvements."

ahhh . . . .’au lait’ . . . . . . when ’offramp’ first came out, i was sitting on the bed one afternoon listening to ’au lait’ and absentmindedly picked up the acoustic steel string and (lo & behold) could actually play it a little bit with that particular tune . . . . . not really being a guitar player (reeds/piano), i ain’t very good on it, but for some reason (and we know what that is, eh?) i’m always able to ’play along’ somewhat satisfactorily with ’au lait’ . . . . . . you know, it’s just so dreamy and realized . . . . . . . . . . . it seems like so many of my fave players are guitar folks . . . . wish i could stick with it long enuff to grow calluses . . . . . my dad was a wonderful guitar guy, coming from that bucky pizzarelli, barney kessel, tony mottola, george van epps-type school, and sooo many of m’ best friends are guitarists . . . . and then there’s pat . . . . . and kurt . . . . and abercrombie . . . . . and james taylor . . . . and ralph towner . . . and so on . . . . . . so, yea, i’m an aspiring guitar god, but don’t seem to find the time to commit . . . . most o’ the time, it’s just easier, when the pain in the fingertips starts to get to be ’too much’, that i just think it would be much more pleasurable to head back to the pianer - haha.

First, Happy New Year all you Garagers...... Naut, Mole, etc etc etc. I’m going
back 37 years to Offramp, perhaps the first album that totally nailed my
Metheny addiction. I love synth and creativity. I’m playing Au lait, and
remembering Brazilian Nana Vasconcelos, an incredibly diverse and talented
guy. ... like Pat and all the others.

maria schneider - hang gliding, from allegresse . . . . i think that’s ingrid jensen playing trumpet, or fluglehorn . . . she just keeps on being incredible . . . . actually, i don’t have much of an idea just who it is - there are like 9 brass players on the album, and 5 of ’em are trumpet/flugel folks, but it sounds like ingrid . . . might not be her tho, but whoever it is, it be sooo fine.

I’ve been diggin’ on christmas gift from my daughter, Miles Davis and John Coltrane-The Final Tour Copenhagen
3/24/60(vinyl). Also got a new CD player so I dug out Coltrane Legacy disc three-Elvin and Trane. And right this
second...Pat Metheny/Trio-Live disc one

NOT christmas music! You all know what that stuff does to your brain...!?
I’ve been listening to Philip Catherine’s «Oscar» the last few days. Funny how refreshingly different old
records sound when you pick them up again after a few years. You hear things from another angle, and it all
sounds the same, but better. ...in a way... I’m sure you know what I mean :-)
