oldtimer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lots of jazz comes to mind, but I'm not sure if you want to go there Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Tommy Emmanuel. Easily one of the top 3 acoustic guitarists on the planet.... Also, Joe Bonamassa, acoustic concert in Vienna. Oh yea, Leo Kotke....Greenhouse. I agree, Tommy Emmanuel is definitely a master and showman on a guitar, Bonamassa is exceptional also. Edwin McCain is one of my favorite artist and is mostly acoustic. Led Zeppelin lll has some excellent acoustic and mandolin songs from a heavy metal band. My 14 year old daughter has gotten me into one of her favs lately, a young guy Ed Sheerin,,,,very soulful for a 22 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Marc Antonie, Peter White, Nick Colionne, George Benson, Paul Jackson Jr. and Joyce Cooling to name a few jazz musicians. It is hard to pick one. Piano player is different and I can pick only one, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Oscar Peterson would be my recommendation for those looking to get a start. I never get tired listening to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) now i’m curious. Keiko Matsui a jazz pianist, lol. I have more of her albums than anyother artist, lol. Her music is not for everybody but, I find it a nice blend of different styles of jazz with the larege orchestra feel. I listen to a little bit of everything, so I am an easy customer.

muel Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I really enjoy Hank Jones, "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Live at Maybeck Recital Hall" Reminds me of my Grandmother's blues piano playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I will admit I want to use this as a resource to go to so I can look for new Acoustic Music. It has quickly become one of my favorite genre to listen to My definition of Acoustic does not mean a recording need be 100% Acoustic rather be predominately Acoustic. I am currently listening to Rodrigo-Y-Gabriela, Stairway to Heaven on the MHDT and I must say it is glorious right up there with the best vinyl playback I have heard, This dac and acoustic are made for each other. So please post some of your favorite acoustic music here, I will start off with a few of my favorites Steve Earle last week I was watching reruns of "the wire" on hbo. the season where earle acts as bubble's sponsor, and he also sings the theme song. underrated musician imo. Yep Way Down in a Hole, written by Tom Waits no less I have it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) I will check that out SCHU, since it's inception as the League of Crafty Guitarists... it's morphed into Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists Edited January 18, 2015 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks Schu, I like the 2nd video, although I am sure it takes great talent for the first video I cant get into that Heres a video I found a couple days ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldenough Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'll give shout-out for Tony Rice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Thanks Schu, I like the 2nd video, although I am sure it takes great talent for the first video I cant get into that I understand... it's take a severe level of deprogramming from westernized listening to really get into much of the music I listen to... it's NOT for everybody. Fripps series is based on symphony/composition and not really virtuosity. Edited January 18, 2015 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 more westernized music... I listen to Gary Burton quite a bit. that xylophone really really rings on my cornwalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 if you want virtuosity... I am not sure if you've ever heard of Monty Montgomery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccagirl83 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I like the Unplugged series as well (Clapton, McCartney esp.) Also, Strunz and Farrah... I have 1 strunz album that was a gift and to be honest I have not listened to it (I have a good bit of music like that I am ashamed to admit ) but since it gets a thumbs up here I will move it higher on the list.I will also have to look for McCartney unplugged, I have a few unplugged albums but have not heard McCartney It's called Paul McCartney Unplugged...The official bootleg. It has some good cuts on it. I really like when McCartney plays a specific acoustic set in his concerts. It's so clean sounding, and intimate.
