It was hard to find an image for this compilation “Funky Beats.” Random, funky, funky music from three great drummers.
Blugrass Tommy. Saw it live too. In Effingham IL. American Christian center of gravity. Band does Tommy better than The Who…and Tommy is my wheelhouse.
amsco15 saidYes, and an excellent point. All music has been written/performed to entertain for money (or a meal, a night's lodging, etc.), to please a benefactor, etc. There has always been a profit motive of some type for most music's creation.Market forces have always mattered.
. . .
It’s possible this music might have never been recorded and influential if it wasn’t for the profit motive. I am very grateful.
But somehow the quick buck, flash-in-the-pan, type money motive (which I am being critical of) is different than longer term, enduring value. That which continues to sell over the decades typically possesses more quality/value than the let’s get it on the shelves quick type stuff (this can, of course, turn into long term value as well).

The mono set is great.
Discs 3 and 4
Blue Mitchell “Down with It” Blue Note Japan 24 bit cd.
Click the picture of Dr. John in the link below to see some fun pictures from the Second Line Parade for Fats Domino. You’ll see a bunch of pictures of Dr. John with Al “Carnival Time” Johnson and Trombone Shorty on Fats Domino’s front porch. Lots of love shown during the parade from a broad cross section of America and the world. The last picture is the inside of Vaughn’s at the beginning of the parade.
Anyone who thinks fun live music is dead, go to Vaughn’s at 11:00 P.M. on most Thursday’s and prepare to dance and sweat for a couple hours.
Incredible budget box release on Sony. Performances/recordings (produced by Steve Epstein) are wonderful! Listening to No. 15 in B-flat, K450 composed in 1784. Highly recommended!!!
Yes, I like Perahia playing Mozart as well as other composers. I have the Complete box set. . . which has nice DVDs from British television broadcasts of Mozart material conducted and performed by Murray, with interview segments too.

I think this is her best.
Terry saidI think this is her best.
Agree wholeheartedly. I played this in the car on any kind of trip with my wife and daughters. My daughters still love this record to this day. My oldest daughter is getting married this December and Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is the Father-Bride dance song: she picked it. This record is just brilliant!
Streaming this from TIDAL, the MQA version.
TIDAL MQA again
Weather Report, “The Legendary Live Tapes” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 edition, disc 3
Watching and listening to “Chasing Trane” the John Coltrane documentary that aired on PBS “Independent Lens” this week. Wonderful.
I know of the garden, but not that there is music inspired by it.
Thanks!
