Joe Satriani, Steve Vai & Yngwie Malmsteen

I've got Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow" and "Wired". Good albums, both of them.

I've also got a good assortment of Coltrane, Monk, and Montgomery and they're all excellent too. I've spent my time with those obsessions.

The "Bela Bartok String Quartets" is a new one for me. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

I've not heard the "Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane" but that sounds really good. I've got a "Coltrane & Monk" CD that's really nice!

No Chet Baker at this time so that may be a good place to start looking. (Except Paisley recommended it and he likes Nero )

I guess I'm just looking for something to really impress me again. It's been awhile. Thanks for all the recommendations.

I just checked my 'cd's-to-buy-next-time-i'm-in-Toronto' note and found the following:

The Neville Brothers - ?

Bill Laswell/Zakir Hussein - Table Beat Science (Axion/Palm/Outside)

Anyone have any opinion here?

I'll chime in on two things:

Willy, pick up some Shakti and Remember Shakti. If you like Mahavishnu you'll flip your lid listening to that. On Kazaa I downloaded Santana playing with the Mahavishnu (I think one track is called "Love Divine"). Also pretty sweet.

And fucking Judas Preist rules!!I was a huge fan and I'm definitely joining Paisley for that show. Just to hear Turbo Lover, and to marvel at the spectactle of a hardcore metal band with goofy lyrics and a gay lead singer

Mahavishnu is some serious music,I have secondtube to thank for getting me into that.Love it.

Last time I saw Preist was at the CNE in 86 I think and it was the Turbo tour.That was one of those I got to get under my belt shows,wasn't bad really,but I wish I had gone & seen them long before that album,ummm Defenders,Screaming & Sad wings were my favs back then.
