whell Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 The Tone Poems CD is the first time I was introduced to Rice & Grisman's music. I'd love to check out more, its really great stuff. Is "Pizza Tapes" on CD or LP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 It's on CD (mid 90s). You can order it from the Grateful Dead site (Dead.net I think). That's where you'll find it cheapest probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middlecreekguy Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 It`s funny how that recording ultimately became available. Jerry heard it on the radio. How did that happen he thought. A story started circulating that a pizza boy had swiped a cassette off of Garcia`s kitchen counter. Years later it was officially released. Great recording on a disc that resembles a small pizza.

AndyKubicki Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Jaco Pastorius' rendition of Charlie Parker's 'Donna Lee' (originally performed as a duet) This slipped by me...Jaco! What a musician! When I hear his material I want to put my fingers into a vice! He can get so many sounds out of those bass strings! Almost anything he did was amazing! Second place for bass players for me would be Jeff Berlin, also can do some amazing things on bass. Bassetized, a Basset Hound! I never would have guessed! Excellent! On a similar note, I once saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra around the 70s or 80s in Chicago. I could swear as I was crossing the street, I saw John McLaughlin crossing opposite me, looked me in the eye and said "Hello", but I'll never know for sure! Anyway, the LaBeque sisters (hope I spelled their name correctly) opened for him and they did Rhapsody in Blue on two pianos the was absolutely fantastic!

Rahman. A couple of student workers I managed over the summer were from India, and one of them, Pavan, asked me about a home system, that he was considering the lifestyle system. I told him to get some of his favorite music and go with me to listen to the Cornwalls and Heresys I have on 'long term loan' at my church. He brought 2 discs of that composer's work, Shankar's Boys, and Five Elements. Very dense, tight, detailed, 2-channel music. VERY infectious westernized-yet-not-quite-western music. The processing/imaging/effects on this work is stunning and oh-so-musical. Anyway, I asked to borrow a few CD's of this Rahman fellow's work. he composes and produces the music, but he gets other players/vocalists to lay it down. With few exceptions the language is not one I can understand, so I listen to the words for their rhythmic and melodic qualities. This is quite a departure from the genres I normally listen to, but I've really been groovin' on this today. Does anyone else know anything about this musician?

AndyKubicki Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I've hear of Victor and seen his instructional tape for bass at Guitar Center, but saddly, have not checked his music out yet. On my to do list! I wonder if Dr. L. Sabramaniam would be similar to Rahman. I never heard of Rahman, but his style sounds interesting. Sabramaniam has played with several jazz artists, but has a strong Indian flavor to his playinf....very enjoyable. One of my favorites was an album called Conversations done with Stephane Grapelli with Joe Sample on keys....good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beesley Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I quit playing the Trombone after 11 yrs and the solo that sticks out most was mine...my freshman year of college....No Just joking. One of the best percussionists of all time, Mr. John Bonham. Enjoy listening to his all popular Moby Dick and all his live variants of it.

coda Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 S-h-i-n-e undoubtedly endures, recorded in 1955, the comments from those who were familiar with that recording session are rather telling (from the CD liner notes off the 1999 Verve Master Edition CD).. Getz sets the tempo on the upper edge of believability with eight unaccompanied bars, and after dispensing with the theme he plays nine truly inspired choruses. "I think that 'S-h-i-n-e' is a masterpiece," Levy said. "When it came out all the tenor players shook their heads and said, 'It's flawless.'" And Condoli recalled, "When we did 'S-h-i-n-e' I had to follow Stan's solo, which was pretty intimidating. When we were working at Zardi's sometimes I'd try to play first to get my solo out of the way, because I didn't want to follow Stan." Is it his best? A younger Stan colloborated with Dizzy Gillespie in '53, that session is available with Verve's Jazz Masters 25. The interplay on the first three tracks remain miraculous, blistering solos makes S-h-i-n-e almost seem sluggish at times, Getz's magic tone remains intact on the whole ride. Not always heralded, but definitely worth checking out. Will also post Clifford Brown's solos in Walkin and Donna Lee, found in the Columbia Jazz Masterpiece release, as worthy contenders. No doubt much of what was recorded as 1950s jazz appears to be a lost art, if that level of energy, mastery and musical sophistication even exists today, it is not making the recording studios.

boomac Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Bought the West Coast Jazz CD last night and the Getz solo on S-h-i-n-e is terrific. I'll have to check out that Getz - Gillespie offering. How about Grover Washington Jr's solo on "Masterpiece" from his Soul Box Album? KUDU 1213. Arranged and conducted by Bob James and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
