Sly Stone knows his sh[B][I][/I][/B]it.

I think Bitches Brew is my favorite jazz album.

Edit: Not that I have a huge Jazz colection, but from what I've heard.

He wants to thank you for lettin' him be himself again.

As much as I love [I]Bitches Brew[/I] it isn't perfect by any means. It actully has alot of flaws but that doesn't mean it's not one of the most fantastic albums my ears have heard though. It's my 2nd favorite and [I]Out to Lunch[/I] is a very close 3rd.

My favorite jazz album?

*thinks*
*can't decide*

I really need A Love Supreme and Out to Lunch, none of the fu[SIZE=2]c[/SIZE]kers in the Jazz YSI thread will upload them.

My favorite jazz album is George Benson's "Bad Benson", but I haven't heard much.

I don't even know how to describe Bitches Brew, I sometimes think of it as "sludge" psychedelia in jazz.

I need a Love Supreme too. We can blitzkreig the YSI threads until they upload it


The only jazz album I (used to have) was John Scofield's A-Go-Go with MMW. That album has since been returned to the netherworld of lost CD's

I must have a few jazz albums, the ones I listen to mostly are Take Five with Dave Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson's Night Train. The latter is really good.

I'd have to say my favorite jazz album is Bitches Brew, but I'm not a huge jazz fan. I don't feel Bitches Brew is amazing like most of you think.

Although it's very trippy stuff it's not really psychedelic Jazz but it's one of the first mixes of Rock and Jazz latter to be called Jazz-Fusion. [I]In A Silent Way[/I] (by Miles Davis) which was made directly before [I]Bitches Brew[/I] is usally considered the birth of Fusion.

If you want psychedelic Jazz check out some Free Jazz or some Avant Garde. [I]Out to Lunch[/I] is a great example of Free Jazz and [I]Alantis[/I] by Sun Ra is a good example of Avant Garde. Just to make things clear:

Free Jazz > Avant Garde

I can never get the write word for Bitches Brew, but it has that psychedelic/trippy/dripping/sludge feel to it. To me, at least

I read in Rolling Stone that the Dead are releasing a 10 disc box set of every show in the Live/Dead run at the Fillmore West. It's only available off their website for $79.95, and only 10,000 copies are being made, but a 3 disc retail version is being release in November or something.

I'm trying to decide if I want it, though I will definitely get the retail version if I don't get this.

I heard on the radio that Floyd are putting out a new DVD

Today I heard a live Gratful Dead cover of Hey Jude, it was pretty cool, I love when the Dead do covers like that.

[QUOTE=Slug]I heard on the radio that Floyd are putting out a new DVD[/QUOTE]
Which reminds me, in the same Rolling Stone there was an interview with Roger Waters. He denied all rumors that Floyd were going to tour. I believe his reasoning for not doing a tour was "I can roll over for a day, but not for a whole fuc[SIZE=2]k[/SIZE]ing tour." As in he can manage not start sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t with Gilmour for a day, but not for a tour.

They did that for the encore on one of the Live/Dead shows (it was in the article).

Aside from their originals, which make them a great band to say the least, The Grateful Dead are one of the best cover bands ever. They played everything.

Speaking of Fusion I'm still trying to find [I]Emergency![/I] by Tony Williams anyone have it? It's supposed to have the most amazing drumming ever and he was Eric Dolphy's drummer for awhile and John McLaughlin is the guitarist. I mean that's a formula for greatness!

Yeah I never really expected a tour, for those reasons, and that Waters is very busy with different solo projects so once hes done with his oprea we might see a Waters tour.

That must have been just swell


A mouse just jumped onto the cord that connects my TV to the outlet in the wall, and it won't move. Not even if I jiggile the cord. It just stares at me :eek:

np: Like A Hurricane

i thought when the dead did amazing grace for jerry was awesome. the bass sounds extremely well live.

The Dead's cover of Amazing Grace was one of my favorites done by both forms the Grateful Dead.

When I said "The Dead" earlier I meant The Grateful Dead.

Btw, [I]In A Silent Way[/I] > [I]Bitches Brew[/I].

And now I have three Coltrane albums. [I]Giant Steps[/I], [I]Blue Train[/I], and [I]A Love Supreme[/I].

Classic rock is cool though.

Yes, I like classic rock very much. *nods*

I say we all have a good ol' fasion classic rock chat! Who=with me?!

Who wants to see my guitar? :P

EDITEDIT: Nevermind, Express is spazzing out on me :upset:

I spent this evening at the beach. I was swimming and hanging out, and some guys were playing guitar out of the back of their truck. They had set of a little jam, and one had a harmonica. They played "Heart Of Gold" by Neil Young, which wa really cool.

So, I'm going to the RNR Hall of Fame in about two weeks, and on the way back, to Cedar Point. I'm happy. Maybe that Tommy exhibit will still be there, Lunch.
