Other stand-outs include a rare and beautiful cover of Irving Berlin’s “Russian Lullaby,†the Motown chestnut “The Way You Do The Things You Do,†an energetic take on Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come†and a 27-minute jam on “Don’t Let Go.†An early version of “Gomorrah†presages the track that would appear the following year on the Jerry Garcia Band LP Cats Under The Stars. disc 1 & disc 2, tracks 1-3 recorded on July 29 disc 2, tracks 4-6 & disc 3 recorded on July 30 mp3@320 Track List Disc 1 1.

  3. Great pic!!! Glad you enjoyed your setbreak snack Bob
  4. Excellent time at the Mod Club with UM. Was really impressed at the turnout. Lots of last minute arrivals for sure They'll be back sooner this time no doubt. Great bumping into a bunch of people there (and accidentally slugging edger in the side of the head greeting her ... so sorry ) Wish I had the energy to continue on to the post-show partying. What went down? Anything? Big thanks to jaybone and his bro-in-law for the ride back to smOakville after the show. I owe you guys.
  5. http://bit.ly/sNrg0F Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile - The Goat Rodeo Sessions Their schedules are hard to mesh and match, but the four bluegrass and classical musicians who made “The Goat Rodeo Sessions†are hoping their collaboration will continue in the future. â€We had a really great time doing it, but there’s a lot more depth there that we could plumb,†cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who joined forces with mandolinist Chris Thile (Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers), fiddler Stuart Duncan and bassist Edgar Meyer on the 11-track set, tells Billboard.com. “I think everyone has very different types of schedules, like Edgar with his composition commissions — he’s probably in many ways the busiest person. But I think where there’s a will there’s a way, so we’ll see.†Thile, who sang on two tracks with guest vocalist Aoife O’Donovan of Crooked Still, adds that, “I think we’ll see it through. It’s such a good hang and we’re having so much fun making music together. We’re born to do this thing; I get that feeling a lot playing with these guys. It’s fun to be involved with people like that, so I’m completely humbled to be involved.†The roots of “The Goat Rodeo Sessions†were planted when Thile and Meyer began working together more than a decade ago. Meyer suggested that Yo-Yo Ma bring Thile on board for his 2008 holiday album “Songs of Joy and Peace,†and the cellist expressed an interest in working together again. Thile and Meyer suggested Duncan as a fourth ingredient, and the ad hoc group jelled from the first rehearsal at Yo-Yo Ma’s home in Cambridge, Mass. â€You look at it on paper and it’s like, ‘Gee, how come these people are getting together?!†Yo-Yo Ma recalls. “But we clicked immediately — and partly because we basically share the same values. We’re all interested in the world around us and in all different kinds of music. So when we got together it was such an excitement of, ‘Gee, tell me more stories about Bill Monroe or the Stanley Brothers…’ It’s a typically American phenomenon that you can have a group of people who didn’t grow up together or go to school together, but because they like one another and have certain values, they find a way to work together.†The troupe recorded “The Goat Rodeo Sessions†in two separate two-day gatherings during the summer, and Thile says there was little discussion about specific genres the songs should fit into. “It’s more of a little Frankenstein music monster,†he explains. “It’s fairly easy to identify some of the elements… but I’m always eagerly looking to hide the seams. You want soup, not stew, and I think what you have is a broad range on the spectrum of formal to informal music-making. Everyone complements each other nicely. I think it’s the kind of thing that maybe classical music listeners will think is bluegrass and bluegrass listeners will think it’s classical. Hopefully it lands in the nebulous zone where it can’t really be named.†“We’re talking about touring a little bit further down the line,†he says. “Everyone’s schedule gets so filled, but it would be very exciting. It’s great to make a recording, but it’s great to also play for a live audience.†- Billboard.com mp3@320 Track List 01. Attaboy (5:43) 02. Quarter Chicken Dark (4:47) 03. Helping Hand (4:32) 04.

  6. http://bit.ly/vOk44g Anoushka Shankar – Traveller “Traveller†brings together the passionate and diverse music of Spain with the vibrant sounds of the Indian tradition. Traveller traces the gypsies’ journey from their homeland in Rajasthan to finally settling in Spain. Anoushka Shankar and her specially selected group of all-star Indian and flamenco musicians re-forge the thousand-year-old link between Spanish and Indian music in her new work. Vocal and instrumental lines packed with emotion, driving rhythms and subtle musical colours will transport you on this magical journey. Anoushka Shankar is one of the world’s great sitar players and the only artist to be trained solely by her father, the unsurpassed Ravi Shankar. Anoushka Shankar has not only blossomed as a great sitar player but also as a composer in her own right producing great new music that is rooted in the Indian classical tradition but also boldly explores musical connections and fusions in a unique and thoroughly engaging way. Following her acclaimed CDs ‘Rise’ (nominated for a Grammy) and ‘Breathing Under Water’, this project carries forward to a new generation the sense of exciting and open-eared musical exploration that has marked both their careers. “It was a love of the music that inspired me to make this flamenco album and bring together these two traditionsâ€, says Anoushka Shankar. “I’ve always loved flamenco and had a fascination for it. There’s always been that pull towards something I find very similar in flamenco to what I cherish in Indian classical music: a kind of uninhibited musicality in expression, whether it’s a solo voice, a sitar or a guitar. Of course there were common roots and technical similarities to explore, and when you start to play with those, you can really delve down in very delicious ways. However the desire came from simply being an admirer of the music, and wanting to learn about it through making music.†The album was produced by renowned Spanish musician Javier Limón. Asked what drew him particularly to Indian classical music and Anoushka Shankar’s style of playing, Javier Limón explains: “When Anoushka plays pure Indian music, for us she’s playing pure flamenco – for all the Gypsies, for Paco [de Lucía] and me, for all of us. When she plays Indian we sometimes say: ‘Hey, you play flamenco very well, this is flamenco.’ And she always answers: ‘No, no, no, this was Indian, pure Indian.’ The frontier is not clear because many centuries ago, maybe eight, the Gypsies came from Rajasthan and brought a lot from there to the flamenco style, to flamenco music. They created what we know today as flamenco with the Christians and Jews in Spain and with the Arabs. That’s why there are a lot of things in common that make our musical forms brothers. Flamenco is very young, about 200 years old. For me, flamenco is like the little brother of Indian music.†mp3@320 Track List 01 – Inside Me 02 – Buleria Con Ricardo 03 – Krishna 04 – Si No Puedo Verla 05 – Dancing In Madness 06 – Boy Meets Girl 07 – Kanya 08 – Traveller 09 – Ishq 10 – Casi Uno 11 – Bhairavi 12 – Lola’s Lullaby http://bit.ly/vOk44g

  8. This LIVE Wish You Were Here is AMAZING http://bit.ly/urJqz1 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here [Experience Edition] (320) The breakthrough success of Dark Side of the Moon made Wish You Were Here a crucial follow-up in strictly commercial terms. Further pressure came from it being Pink Floyd’s first recording for a new label, Columbia. Yet the demands on the band only provided Roger Waters more fodder for his lyrics, which glanced at the band’s roots as well as their new responsibilities. The mechanized throb of a VCS3 synthesizer, fed through a repeat-echo unit, signals the opening bars of “Welcome to the Machine,†a diatribe against an industry more concerned with money than creative music-making. “Have a Cigar†further establishes Waters’ contempt by bringing in singer Roy Harper to play the role of a “faceless suit,†who none-too-innocently asks, “Which one’s Pink?†The remaining songs indirectly look back to the first casualty of Pink Floyd’s growing fame, the group’s founder, Syd Barrett. The 20-minute-plus “Shine on You Crazy Diamond†has its roots in earlier pieces like “Atom Heart Mother Suite†and “Echoes.†But rather than just another Floydian soundscape, its lyrics make it a paean to Barrett’s genius and a requiem for his subsequent breakdown. The first five of the song’s nine movements open the album with sax player Dick Parry wailing as effectively as he did on Dark Side of the Moon. The final four sections, which close the album, form a reprise that starts with the sound of wind and David Gilmour’s guitar screaming and crying. The band then settles into a laid-back jam that ends with Richard Wright’s billowing synth delicately fading out. The title track deals also with Barrett, as well as the tension the idealist Waters was feeling in battling the greed that surrounded the band’s success. The themes of disillusionment planted throughout Wish You Were Here would eventually sprout full-blown on The Wall. mp3@320 Track List DISC 1 - Wish You Were Here (Digitally Remastered by James Guthrie) 01.

  9. Looks like a good series! On tonight on PBS http://www.thebanjoproject.org/ We’re putting the final touches on Give Me the Banjo , the PBS broadcast documentary that will air on Nov 4 at 9 PM (8 PM Central). It’s part of a new series, PBS Arts Fall Festival. The full title is PBS Arts from the Blue Ridge Mountains: Give Me the Banjo. Running time is 82 minutes. It’s been an intense, exhausting five months of paring down, editing, re-writing, re-editing and polishing. On Sept 14, we recorded the voice over narration with Steve Martin. Tony Trischka is providing the additional musical score and the credit music. And there’s more good news: we have a home video deal with New Video, with an April 2012 release date. Much of the material that couldn't be included in the PBS program will find its way into the DVD and The Banjo Project website. The Banjo Project is a cross-media cultural odyssey: a major television documentary, a live stage/multi-media performance, and a website that chronicle the journey of America’s quintessential instrument—the banjo—from its African roots to the 21st century. It’s a collaboration between Emmy-winning writer-producer Marc Fields and banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka (the Project’s Music Director), one of the most acclaimed acoustic musicians of his generation. Narrated by Steve Martin, Give Me the Banjo brings together contemporary players—including Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, Bela Fleck, Mike Seeger, Don Vappie, Abigail Washburn and The Carolina Chocolate Drops—with folklorists, historians, instrument makers and passionate amateurs to tell the story of America's instrument in all its richness and diversity.

  13. http://bit.ly/vWEV36 George Harrison - Living In The Material World George Harrison: Living in the Material World is a documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the life of George Harrison. George Harrison famously titled his 1973 album “Living in the Material Worldâ€, and as the follow up to his “All Things Must Passâ€, the former Beatle chronicled his ongoing exploration to define himself on both the physical and spiritual plains. But now that title (also a song on the album) takes on a new resonance as the name selected for Martin Scorsese’s much-anticipated documentary on the life of Harrison. The deluxe edition’s ten-track exclusive CD premieres unreleased material, some of which may be familiar to longtime Harrison collectors. You’ll find many All Things Must Pass-vintage demos and early takes: “My Sweet Lord,†“All Things Must Pass,†“Behind That Locked Door,†“Awaiting On You All,†“Run of the Mill†and the Bob Dylan co-write “I’d Have You Any Time.†You’ll also find a performance of Dylan’s “Mama, You’ve Been On My Mind†(which may be the oft-circulated Beatles-era track) and an early stab at “Woman, Don’t You Cry For Me†from Thirty Three and 1/3. The demo of “The Light That Has Lighted the World†led to the finished track on the original album Living in the Material World, and finally there’s a Harrison version of the Gilbert Becaud classic “Let It Be Me.†mp3@320 Track List 01.
