I had to go change my underwear after reading those two posts - I miss playing/hanging with you two old bastards! BTW i've forgotten which rank I was bestowed with...was it 'Seaman Bodgey' or 'Midshipman Bodgey' or something else equally ridiculous?
Sorry - very off topic. I shall now go and spank myself. Naughty Bodgey, Naughty Bodgey, Naughty Bodgey.

Bodge - you left - you are now the lowest of the low. Felcho got your job, but he's pissing off too. Scrote ahoy!

Sounds promising...perks or perky things?
I would be proud to represent the Good Ship LBQ in many a foreign clime.

With diplomatic immunity you could have perks and perky things in equal measure. I wonder if you can get diplomatic immunity on this board? Maybe that's where IGs gone. A diplomatic attache to rival Sir Les Patterson.
Getting back on topic...
I have a theory that all my favourites musicians, even the greatest, will do a least one or two projects in a lifetime that makes them look out of touch, or, at the very least, human (I don't really take into consideration their earliest, developmental recordings). I site as examples Paul Simon's "Hearts and Bones," Herbie Hancock's "Future2Future," Steve Gadd on Paul Simon's "Concert in the Park." Today I had that moment with Airto Moreira. In hunting around for some stuff of his band Fourth World (an ultimately fruitless hunt) I came across a compilation I'd not seen before, and I encountered a prime example of the horrendous effects of the 1980s. I'll never be able to think of him quite the same again. I had to go straight home and listen to "Fingers" and "Free" to remind myself of how good he is.

Peter Knight - All The Gravitation Of Silence. Gosh it's beautiful. I may even have to trot out one of my fave adjectives, "numinous", for this one.
Johnny Rivers - Anthology 1964-1977. Secret Agent Man, Poor Side Of town, Baby I Need Your Lovin', Summer Rain, Outside Help, Slow Dancin' and more. No better finger-snappin' radio hits have been made.

Spirit - Spirit Of '76. Best ever version of Like A Rolling Stoner and a whole bunch more. I saw these dudes - Randy California, his step dad/jazz drummer Ed Cassidy and a bassist whose name I can't recall - at the Rainbow Theatre in London in about 1907. It was freaking dreadful. A heavy metalathon in which the volume was too much even for my punk rock-attuned eardrums. And the subsequent live album from the same gig sucked big time, too. Wild Thing? You make my ears ring. But I love 'em anyway, especially this one and Son Of Spirit. Forget Jimbo and Art Lee; California's the best thing to come out of psychedelic LA.

How brilliant, beautiful, broad and deep is Australian jazz? Limitless ...
Twelve Tone Diamonds - Unofficial Winner
James Sherlock Quartet - Watermark. Now that you've learnt how to play, you can come home now James. Seriously, Jimmy was right - this is some smokin' shit. And with Tinkler, Hirst, Barker and Sherlock, it's a multi-state classic.
Paper Hat (Hopkins, Disario, Gander) - Nine Conversations. Haven't got all through this yet, but the first two (lengthy) cuts are a gas.
Peter Knight - All The Gravitation Of Silence.
The Adam Simmons Quartet - Metamorphosis

James Sherlock? now that he's learnt to play? lol
'nyway:
Chick Corea's Friends. Im loving Steve Gadd so much, Ive made the decision to offer him the opportunity of acting as an incubator for his offspring. I wont offer that to my husband, but for Steve Gadd playing toms and hats the way he does.. yep: I'll do that. ;D

Has Gadd had a bit of work done? Check out his face now compared with 10 years ago...
Friends has some of Gadd's best work, but he's best appreciated on vinyl - you get a much better idea of his hats and that wet, wet, wet snare.

Of course Vinyl is best  I love him so much, I have a CD of Steve Gadd loops. I just sit there listening to the depths he can get from his toms *sigh. |
