Heard this on Planet Rock this morning, this track has passed me by, hadn’t heard it before, Joey B an absolute masterclass in guitar playing, stunning.

You don't listen to Planet Rock very often then 🙂

I love the audience awkwardly trying to move to something which, whatever it is, is certainly not 4/4...

 

P.S. thanks for introducing me to that 🙂

Off the back of the Matt Garrison above, I’ve been breaking out the fusion again the last few days whilst having to work from home. Garrison, Scott Kinsey, Janek Gwizdala, Chick Corea, Hadrian Feraud Etc. Always worrying because as soon as I start listening to fusion for any length of time I want to play it, and I don’t currently have any basses that are really great for it......which of course means I start wanting to buy something......

Then might I offer this up for your listening pleasure? Return To Forever's 30th anniversary tour. I was most fortunate to catch this live down in Phoenix. IIRC, their performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival (18 July 2008) is available on Blu-ray. Here's the show from San Sebastian, Spain a week later. Stanley Clarke's extended acoustic and electric bass solo is wonderful. I was 10 rows back and had an excellent view of his hands. I'm not even that good in my dreams!

EDIT: The bass solo included here is half of what I saw/heard. Still excellent, but a shame that the full solo wasn't committed to tape.

Not and album or track but currently listening to Lisa Tarbuck on Radio 2 who is playing some absolutely spiffing music including Talking Heads, Annie Lennox, Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry. Glad I tuned in as I've been bopping round the kitchen to music genres I don't like.

If I'm not mistaken it will be followed by Johnnie Walkers Rock Hour😀

Doris Day.  Seriously. 

[naxos10]

I appreciate it's an eclectic mix, but surely Doris Day had one of the best voices of her era?

We always had music on in the house when I was growing up.  My late mum was a huge fan of The Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones and also gave me an appreciation of big band stuff and Frank/Dean etc.  What did I give her back?  She loved Cheap Trick and Kiss.  My dad loved Doris and also loved Hall & Oates and The Carpenters.

The Doris Day Christmas Album is essential listening any time of year too.  Her voice is velvet.

There is a time in every man's life, a couple of decades after he has put Radio 1 aside, when he has to make a big decision that will set the pattern of his life thereafter.

Planet Rock or Radio 2?

Wow. Thanks for the tickle (in this day of social distancing!). Reminded me of a 2-on-1 CD I own of Eydie Gorme, backed by The Trio Los Panchos. Not a lot of peeps remember that she was a Latina. They only know her from her English work with husband Steve Lawrence. They set up their own record label in Las Vegas (GL Music Co.) to release their work. I also have their CD "It's Us Again", with Steve's last name misspelled on the cover as 'Lawence'! Gotta love DIYs!

Anyway, here's a full 2 album set. Eydie's voice is super, and super lovely in Spanish!

EDIT: Here's their website: http://www.steveandeydie.com/. I noticed that they fixed the spelling on the CD cover. Ha!

You mean there are radio stations other than Radio 4??
