StoneMtn Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I love Fela Anikulapo Kuti, but the only music I've heard by Femi Kuti was really quite lame and poppy. Does he have some more traditional African tunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Oliver Jones - Canadian jazz piano great Dave Brubeck's Time Out album is a standard for Cool Jazz: Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue may be the best album ever made. Bill Evans is worthy of any jazz radio segment. You can't go wrong with blues either: Try looking into Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker and Etta James. Also, My Morning Jacket make great and beautiful music. The Beta Band, especially their Three EP's CD is good and trippy rock, pop, folk. The Flaming Lips do not suck either.

Tonberry Posted October 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hmmmm.... Sadly, I'm not finding a lot of these suggestions. I'm looking, though. ESPECIALLY the Jazz ones are being hooerish to find. The Dub side of the moon was Fantastic. Liked it a lot. Also really like Wynston Marsalis... but could only get a little. Keep the suggestings coming, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Get as much Nick Drake as possible. All three of his albums are great with Pink Moon being a masterpiece. Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter are almost as good - some would say they are all equally good. There was no better folk singer/songwriter in my opinion ( other than Dylan ).

AdamH Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Listen to Pink Moon, then listen to this new kid Devendra Banhardt and then you'll want to listen to Nick Drake instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonberry Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 All right, Velvet, I 've got some Ugly Casanova now... still haven't listened. The Sea and Cake though... I like them. I infact just found all their albums. Neat stuff. Anybody out there tried 'Valley of the Giants' yet? Any Broken Social Scene/Godspeed You, Black Emperor! fans should look into that album.

Tonberry Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 (sorry I keep reviving this thread, but it's being terrifically helpful) Brubeck was awesome!!! Like really good... What era's he from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Dave Brubeck was particularly big in the '50s and '60s, and continued to be active until the late '80s, at the very least. I'm pretty sure he's still alive, so maybe he's still playing sometimes, but he'd be in his mid-eighties by now. You were probably listening to Time Out (by far his most popular album), which was recorded in 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 "Herbie Hancock yet, but, maybe that's elementary" Herbie Hancock is not elementary, lol. Anyways, check out Jukejoint Return To Forever Mahavishnu Orchestra Frank Zappa (tons of fun stuff for the radio) Burt Neilson Band (function makes a great radio track) Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit Shibusashirazu Orchestra Weather Report The Guitar Trio (Al DiMeola, Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin) We've played all the above on our radio show (HighTime Tuesdays 12-2am 93.3 CFMU Hamilton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonberry Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Are you saying that in a 'he's a refined taste, and not well known' way, or a 'he's no good' way? I really enjoy Hancock. I've got a bunch I haven't even sampled yet... but love a lot of his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 i LOVE hancock. but he's above elementary thats for sure... definately check out those artists i listed above... they tend to go well over a music loving audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonberry Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Righty-o.... My show will be on tonight at 2am to 7am (technically tomorrow morning). It'll be chock full of music that I discovered thanks to you folks. to tune in, visit www.ckcufm.com and listen live, or, if you live in Ottawa, 93.1 fm on your radio dial. Keep in mind any one can listen to the show, but if you're outside the Eastern-Standard Time Zone you'll need to adjust the time to taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonberry Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Oh. My. God. :: I cannot believe it, but it's Star Wars music gone disco. How incredibly retro... Turns out its not too bad, either. I mean... originally I just thought the cover was cute, but now... well... see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm rather fond of a little band called The Beatles. They're English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 for some great dub- not sure what era- try to find some King Tubby- my fav is King Tubby Versus the Rockers- great sh!t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 The Sea and Cake though... I like them. I infact just found all their albums. Neat stuff. Yes!!! I believe The Sea And Cake is a Tortoise side project, by the way. I only have 'The Fawn' but I f'n love it so much. Who put you on to these guys? I don't have their album 'Thrill' but look at the album cover: Nice eh? edit: I was just surfing around and found this live show of The Sea & Cake from Vancouver 2003.
