Wild Miles jam
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:11am
pacific standard simon:

I do like the Miles. Although my particular soft spot is for any version of "If I Were A Bell".
  3:13am
Mike tp:

Electric Miles sometimes reminds me of Zappa WEASELSRIPPED MY FLESH. LOVE THEM OF COURSE
  3:14am
Mark R:

Welcome, gentlemen--Simon, it's been a while since I've seen you on the comments board.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:17am
pacific standard simon:

Usually, when I get home from my current work schedule, all I want to do is plant myself in front of some trash TV with a tumbler of bourbon. I finished much earlier tonight, because I'm training a new guy.
  3:17am
Mike tp:

didn't realize If I We're Abell was 1956,pretty nice
  3:20am
Mark R:

I'm pretty sure "If I Were a Bell" stayed in the live repertoire into the Herbie/Wayne Shorter era, Mike.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:21am
pacific standard simon:

@ Mike tp - I can sorta hear that Zappa-Davis connection, though I'd bet money that neither of them ever listened to the other's records. Heard live at the Fillmore East, maybe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:26am
pacific standard simon:

The original Miles at The Fillmore double LP was probably the first album I ever stole, ha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39am
pacific standard simon:

There's no doubt that Miles invented jazz/rock (and, by the way, FUNK) fusion, but sometimes I wish he hadn't. Except for Mahavishnu, and early Weather Report.
  3:41am
Mark R:

I know what you mean--similarly, I love Cream, but I hate everybody who tried to play like them and couldn't.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:42am
pacific standard simon:

Exactly.

I wouldn't want to live in a world without Lalo Schifrin's Dirty Harry soundtrack though...

@Pacific Standard Simon Try and catch Ken during his show if you can, he'll rectify it for you. My profile doesn't list previous years' donations though.

5 basses, That's some Big Bottom.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05am
pacific standard simon:

How do you compose a jazz recording with 5 basses?

I remember picking up a copy of Fusion magazine (out of Boston) with a whole lot of raving about Leon Thomas, and having to wait years to find out what he sounded like. The universe bless the internwt.
Avatar 4:05am
Vincent Nifigance:

@BEAVO Hi Beavo.
  4:05am
Mark R:

Yeah, I don't really hear 5 basses there, but that's what the credits say--they're listed individually by track, too, so it wasn't like 5 guys played over the course of the album, but according to the credits, these 5 guys played bass ON ONE SONG!!

Hi Vince, Mark and all Music lovers in the FMU land, the jar is under the bed.

pacific standard simon:

Marathoned through the 4 disc Zappa at Carnegie Hall 1971 last night. Pretty much definitive for the period.
  4:14am
Mark R:

Sounds amazing, Simon--wasn't aware of that recording!

The Zappa And Miles sets are on my grocery list.

'71 was the Flo and Eddie band, bet they did a Carnigie Hall version of "The Groupie Routine".

@Beavo. My Dad always said I couldn't listen to Billy The Mountain until I was old enough. I'm old enough now!

The Muhal Richard Abrams reminds me of Zappa's Petit Wazoo compositions.

I'm here, man.

Lying back down now. Cheers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:34am
pacific standard simon:

The groupie routine was mostly limited to a "She Painted Up Her Face/Half a Dozen Provocative Squats/Shove It Right In" medley. The Sofa side is the cool shit, and "Billy The Mountain " without most of the west coast references.

Have Blu Blu Blu, he added.

Playing the Stones next to Robert Johnson is always correct.

I could use some Son House about now.

Vamping up a storm. I wonder what Jim is doing all this time.

Jim is doing 4 fat lines, half a joint, and 2 healthy slugs of Jack.
