Thanks for the heads up on Wölfl and Browne ... will check 'em out. For today: Peter Frampton and Steve Marriott on guitars. Greg Ridley bass and Jerry Shirley drums. The lead vocalist is Mr. Marriott. Here is Peter Frampton on lead vocals. A compilation of the best performances from their...

Jamey Johnson. Song composed by James House. Michael Rhodes RIP bass, Anton Fig drums. Joe went through something pretty rough that prompted these songs, but it's not easily to discover just what it was, because he's a private man. The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. The reviewer...

We made day trips there whilst living in Cincinnati. Just the right distance for that.

Actually, Boerne reminds me a lot of another town we have visited many times: Nashville. Indiana. Have you been there, Tom? BTW, many happy returns. :-)

The town looks delightful. It invites you to visit and enjoy yourself. :-)

I listened to much of Coltrane '58, it's 5 1/2 hours long, and the music is presented in chronological order. It was educational to hear how Mr. Coltrane progressed as band leader through the year of 1958. It started out on the verge of saxophone "overload" but it concluded with him giving his...

A few songs were composed by JC, the rest are standards. Here's Harold Arlen. Song composed by Fred Lacey. The album proceeds in chronological order through the 1958 sessions, it's easy to hear Mr. Coltrane progress as a band leader. Listen to the space he gives to Kenny Burrell (guitar) and...

Wow, just wow. Now This will be a fun listen! :-) Thanks, too, for the Milt Jackson reco @Ripper2860 ... he's a great musician.

Wow ... dandy! Rock on, mate!!

Talk about genius level ... Quincy Jones qualifies! Thanks for your comments. I, too, am a fan of the Mothers of Invention. Have you heard this album? :)

Thank you for the nice comment ... it's a fascinating hobby - so many great artists and music out there. I really enjoy learning the back-story to the music and especially the artists. That leads to interesting pathways. Since I added Roon and Qobuz last year, it's gotten much easier for me to...

Last time she posted here, she was having trouble getting over Covid.

Me too, very much. She was a micro-brew enthusiast and they would take road trips to sample new beers. How cool is that. :-)

"Life on the Mississippi" was great, I've been to many of the places that Mr. Clemens described. Now it's across the Atlantic to visit Europe and the Holy Land. His writing is not easy and requires rapt attention or I miss the zings he throws at me.

I love Mingus and there's a Mingus "Big Band" in NYC that recreates his music very well. I also love Theloneous Monk. Not every jazz fan is a fan of those two artists ... I like 'em because they're unique. When you get those completed, check out the bassist Avashai Cohen. I hope it never stops...

The first album is complex but a bit quiet ... this one is better for me. Song composed by Cole Porter. Cool rhythms ... this is the best album of the three. Song composed by Joni Mitchell. Had some lagniappe time, so explored a bit of this album. Tasty stuff. Studio album from 2018. All...

Chick Corea performs a composition by Alexander Scriabin live with his trio of Christian McBride and Brian Blade. That this music still works today shows how advanced Mr. Scriabin was for his time ... 1872 to 1915. And too, the genius of Chick Corea.

Guest artists are Niño Josele on guitar and Jorge Pardo on flute, both from Spain.

Chick, Christian McBride and Brian Blade did two "Trilogy" albums. This song is from the first, released in 2014. Just follow the drum-line laid down by Mr. Blade ... pure genius.

A great example of the genius of Brian Blade. He certainly keeps the beat well, but then flies off and all 'round at a seconds notice, returning nicely to on-time. His work is filled with warmth and imagination. Song composed by Harry Warren. Guest artists are Niño Josele on guitar and Jorge...

Another great music idea ... whomever recommended this music - thank you very much! Was that you, @Ripper2860? It is tremendously engaging. :)

Indeed. The musicians were so talented. The drumming of Lenny White is sublime, just right ... although IMO he didn't always get the credit he deserved. For today: The debut album by Mr. Holland as bandleader. All compositions are his. Seriously funky. Larry Coryell and Al Di Meola on...

Even now I'm gathering new thoughts, as I scan through the variety of those wooden puzzles. The imagination of the artists is quite remarkable. Check out this one ... :-)

Puzzle ordered - thanks for the idea. So many cool designs - it was very hard to decide on only one. :-)

Uber fascinating - vielen dank!
