It's great to hear live music of course, and I wouldn't be without these recordings, but after hearing these women on the radio, the You Tube videos seems not to do them justice because of the very poor recording quality. I think they would be better served by pre-recorded with promo photograph...

I was at this gig. At the time I was sleeping on the floor of Sid Rawle's first floor flat in Ladbrook grove. I spent my days in Trafalgar Square selling copies of Albion, IT and other underground publications. - A Canadian was walking down the road shouting 'Help!' Sid opened the window and ...

This is an established classic, however, Collins' timing, though I don't say is bad, is certainly extremely syncopated and devilish difficult to follow, the conductor must have lost a lot of hair on this Boston Pops outing.

Bonnie Raitt, always fantastic, inspiring, adorable. Ha ha... but also applause too for a very clever harmonica break, obviously brilliantly thought out and executed.

I know little about this sort of music, but I do know I should have listened to more of it.

Heard Alice Coote on BBC's Front Row this evening... All I can say is that I found her interview extremely moving, and it drove me immediately to investigate her music. I got an impression of great intelligence, sensitivity and wisdom, all of which, and more, is supported by her musical ability....

I can't find Bonnie Raitt's 'River of Tears' from the album Green Light. Love that track, can anyone post it please?

@IfhBiff Yes, you may love America pity Bud Powell had to move to France to escape the racism?

I would guess this is double tracked although I am no great expert in Flamenco. And it took me no more than the few tracks on You Tube where I've seen her playing live to convince me that she's a good guitar player, although not of course a rival to a player like Paco de Lucia, -- but then she h...

Absolutely super! Thank you very much!

The music nearly drove me crazy... I have a photo of a snake here where I live in mid-Wales I think it might be a melanistic adder, but I can see little of it, I'll send photo if I have an Email addreess.

Saw Stevie sing this at a B'ham town hall 'all nighter'. I met Robert Plant on the pavement outside. Somebody might remember what year that was, I know I was still in my teens. I think the Moody Blues were doing that gig too.

Your man plays with consumate verve and confidence.

I'm so sorry to see such a great talent extinquished. And when you listen to Tony Bennett and Amy singing 'Body and Soul' together - it's to die for... There was so much yet to come... She was on her way to Stardust before we we ready to lose her.

I wonder he just doesn't stop playing and walk off. If I was the MC I'd send the bouncers around to throw the rowdiest of them out. Then I'd lock them up in the dungeon for a week and feed them on bread and water.

I do have a Loar. And as I say it's better than the other three, but I suspect not as good as a Gibson, or one of the other dozen bespoke manufaturers in the USA.

I've just got a thing about archtops. I have two with floating pickups, and several (Ibanez & Epiphone amongst them) that have humbu...

Whoever placed the microphone four feet away from the guitar should get the sack.

Lovely work. Thank you.

Great! Go Girl !!!! We're expecting great thing! Thank you!

Joni who???

One of my favourite tunes... I only wish the sound recording quality was better, and if the cameraman could notice which one of them was playing lead on some of these tracks. These guys a both worthy of the respect from any sort of guitar-player. I hope they both have very long and successful c...

@durb34 I don't think it sounds that good. He'd surely be better using an archtop for this job? It's good playing though.

The guy playing the guitar on the verse has done a perfect job. Any one know who he is?

This is a shaking nonsense. Were Jimmie alive he would never allow such a parody, and he would be the first to admit that his guitar guitar playing was of a lesser order than Birelli's. You can't possibly compare artists working in such different genres, but Jimmie, almost certainly by his own ...

Not many people know this, but although only a year younger, Joe Pass copied Jim Hall's hairstyle.

Notice the alacrity with which he pops his plectrum into his mouth? There are better options, but a lick of spit will certainly give you a bit more traction. I really can't use anything under about .90 because it'll flop around too much. The big triangulars seem the best, particularly those wi...

Some of us are born talented, some of us are born useful, Jimmy Foster is really a remarkable man, and all of us who love the quality and look of these wonderful instruments owe him a lasting debt of graitude whether or not we will ever own or play one.

@thejazzstreet. Hey, thanks for the info.

Translated cost from web-site, in GBP is about £56, which, if the video is anything to go by, would seem well-worth the consideration for Jazz beginners. However, it might not seem such a bargain after shipping costs and import tax which might easily double that cost.

Oh borther... Ha ha... I'm sorry, but this really made me laugh! Whooooooeeeee!!
