Your favourite listenings......

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

This is a few years ago now, but one of the several bands I'm hanging on to tickets for postponed events in the hope of one day seeing them - Dead Can Dance and the extraordinary voice of Lisa Gerrard. Been listening to them for 20 years, and still not tired.

Really enjoying this one!

Loving this Nico. :obscene-drinkingbuddies: Reminds me of Tom Waits a little.
@Droogs. I hope so mate.


Aye, like a mix of Tom Waits & Gris-Gris era Dr John. Lovely guitar playing and tone, I found out he uses flatwounds, think I'll order a set!

Here's the tune that turned me on to jazz.

[youtube]uKOoxgI_xfQ[/youtube]

If you like the blues, you'll probably like this. It's a live version but pretty close to the studio recording that came on the radio at about 3:30 am one night in the mid 80s while I was on guard in an army place near the Dutch border. I was hooked instantly.

evidence that jazz is just what you get by pushing a blue quartet down a flight of stairs.

Wow. Thanks Tony. Always good to hear new music and bands but that's extraordinary. Will be looking into them.
Years ago (before I was accessing tinternet), I bought the Gladiator soundtrack just for that one bit of music where there is that mournful almost arabesque female voice lifting and echoing. I was in love with it. That little brief piece of yet another Hans Zimmer Movie Soundtrack.
So all these years later, after listening to you post Dead Can Dance, I was reminded of it. So much so I thought I'd post the youtube clip. Searching for it I realised that Lisa Gerrard is singing on the Gladiator soundtrack.

Talk about full circle! That's what I love about music. An endless journey but one where we keep bumping to old friends along the way. More miles you put in, the easier the walking gets.

Not a Jazz listener Andy in any sense but I like that and see where you fell in love. That's about as far down the Jazz road I can get in terms of enjoyment mind. My limitation absolutely but I can distinctly hear Nina Simone in that piano solo and a host of other influences like Blues as you say but any more 'individual' than that is mostly beyond me personally.
Good job life is a tapestry eh? ;)

Wasn't going to post anymore for a while because 'noisy neighbour syndrome' but this (married)couple is great.

Not so sure about the whole shabby chic look, holes in trousers and all that. Maybe it's an American thing to be authentic? Go back to 'real' country/folk???' No offence meant. Bit forced to my mind but I'm a cynic and the music is good anyway.

A youtube channel worth looking at if you like this sort of music is https://www.youtube.com/user/GemsOnVHS. Some great stuff on there.
I'll be quiet for a bit now. Sorry!

He's very good. The drummer on most of his work, Jay Bellerose, is one of the best drummers currently playing. Incredibly tasteful playing, and incredibly cool drums.

Here's one that was a constant companion in my student days from the sadly late and undoubtedly great John Martyn. "Who?" I hear you cry. He never got the mass recognition he deserved IMO. [youtube]wxypeGc[/youtube]

Something i’d never have even looked at but , works both aurally and visually , for some reason brought the early “Stranglers” to mind , maybe the peaches reference. Top musical post .
