What jazz have you been listening to today?

[intet_at_tabe]

chromaticism - I can remember Stanley Clarke made an album after the RTF albums in the middle of the 1970´s, called "Schooldays", where he played the piccolo el. bass, like he did with RTF, and various kinds of strange looking el. basses. SC was the first el. bassist I knew who could make the el. bass sound like a guitar solo.

Hi back to you chromaticism

I believe we´re talking of the same live album. The songs "Musicmagic" and "So Long Mickey Mouse" are on the 3 double album as well. However this recording had a copy later on, with not so many songs as the 3 double album.

In 1996 Sony Music released an album in the series called "This is Jazz". The 5 songs on this album by RTF are: 1. The Romantic Warrior 2. Sorceress 3. Musicmagic 4. So Long Mickey Mouse 5. On Green Dolphin Street.

The first "Electric Band" GRP Records 1986 by CC was an album called "Electric Band" feat. CC (keyboards, synthezisers), Scott Henderson/Carlos Rios (guitars), John Patitucci (el. basses) and Dave Weckl (drums, perc.).

Both JP and DW participated in CC´s trio as well "Acoustic Band" at the same time, while recording with Electric Band, where different guitarists participated, like you mentioned Frank Gambale AWESOME guitarist both on acoustic and el. guitar. The saxophone player Eric Marienthal has been a steady memeber like FG for years. Listen to the album "Inside Out" by GRP 1990.

I have all the albums with Electric Band and Acoustic Band. beside all the RTF albums and every album CC has recorded since "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs", from A&R Studios 1968 feat. CC (piano), Miroslav Vitous (double bass) and Roy Haynes (drums), through the albums CC recorded in duo with Gary Burton (vibraphone, marimba) "Crystal Silence" ECM Records 1973 to the "ARC" and "Circle" both from the ECM Records feat. CC (piano), Dave Holland (double bass) and Barry Altschul (drums) + Anthony Braxton to "My Spanish Heart", and some of the few solo piano albums by CC "Originals", Stretch Records 2000 and "Standards", Stretch Records 2000, to his latest group "Originations" 3 albums on Stretch Records 1998/1999/2001 etc.etc.

Happy for you chromaticism. I admire you´re skills to play so many different el. instruments not only well, but extremly well in short - you are a natural. The world of music is at your feet, dear sir. Take it to be your´s....you deserve it

I'm very flattered as you take me in such high regard but I still have a lot of things to learn. Thank you very much. I see myself as a perpetual student as the realm of music is too big for one's lifetime to cover.

I just finished listening to Allan Holdsworth's "Devil Take The Hindmost." If Franz Liszt had an electric guitar and started playing/writing jazz, he would definitely be Holdsworth.

In terms of speed and shred-guitar-sounding bass solos, it's Stanley Clarke hands down (imagine playing a solo on the double bass a la Paganini pizzicato style e.g. "Romantic Warrior"), but if you want to hear a really guitar sounding bass without the need for a piccolo bass it's got to be Jaco. Jaco's "Birdland" intro sounds just like a clean jazz electric guitar made possible by his impeccable mastery of pinch harmonics.

I'm now listening to a CC-SC duet, their version of "On Green Dolphin Street."

chromaticism - We can´t disagree on Jaco, whom I attended in concert with Weather Report too. I only stated SC was the first el. bassist I heard play so freakin´ fast.

Have a great listen to "On Green Dolphin Strreet". Respect my friend.

Allan Holdsworth is AWESOME in any connection, though for many a year it´s been quite quiet around him. But I guess the past 8-10 years, he has had his renaissance, perhaps stroke by lightning

I saw a TV program on the french TV-channel MEZZO in 2007, where AH played/dueled against Robben Ford, another great guitarist (known from the Miles Davis Band in the 1980´s) , mostly the blues guitar though.

Larry Carlton (studio guitarist known from Steely Dan for instance), says Robben Ford taught LC to play the blues.

Even if you feel you are a student in music, listening to your music at your site and your guitar, I wouldn´t mind calling you, what I did. It´s rare in my musical univers since the late 1960´s, I almost fell from my own chair to the floor, listening to your playing - Is this true? Yes it is. You will go far chromaticism, even if you´re not Franz Liszt or his jazz guitar alike Allan Holdsworth - Yet

Remember to keep you tounge straight in your mouth, your head and eyes focused and avoid everything unneeded. You have it in your blood

Thanks friend. I could say nothing more but enjoy and have a good time.

So that we won't go off topic, I'm listening to "Birds of Fire" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra right now.

My dear friend and mentor of gentlemanship Corno Dolce - micknamed: I-aim-to-please.

Did you invite friends over yesterday for a Pat Metheny night?

First If I Could with that beautiful video, then the Metheny/Mays/Vasconcelos Trio album "As Falls Wichita, so falls Wichita falls" and now "80/81". You surely aim to please dear sir.

For this still dark morning Friday, I´ll return to you the title song from "First Circle" - The First Circle. On the album followed by If I Could (heartbreaking sentimentality).

Well done: I-aim-to-please
