well, you are the god of mischief aren't you?
to me the most important part of music is whether or not it resonates with me and is evocative ... obviously it's the same for you, and you know what you like and who plays it ... I used to have a friend that didn't care about music, it was just noise that he either liked or not, but never sought it out or invested in gear to play it back with ... obviously not a musician ... this was so alien to me that I wasn't even sure I liked the guy! yet he became a friend like a brother
so enjoy your music and take any criticism I proffered in stride as a matter of taste ... that goes for anyone else too of course
I really appreciate and enjoyed your reply, you effectively communicated your love for Garcia & Co. music to the point that you damn near got me to give the Dead another go, but I quickly snapped out of it!
best regards,
Follow Ups:
I am trying to figure out Sun Ra. Like the GD, he is very prolific with all kinds of different genres and soundscapes. I'll have to say that I'm loosing the battle but am being persistent due to the enthusiasm and passion of the fans.
Sun Ra is an acquired taste ... he scored very 'theatrical' music and so went his live shows ... saw him once by accident and found the music interesting in context ... to hear his charts without the live show is indeed a challenging listen ... always thought he was to jazz what George Clinton is to funk ... though not necessary, it helps to see Funkadelics / Parliament to 'get' them ... though the freight train rhythm section comes through anyway
good luck with your exploration, maybe YouTube the Arkestra for some context if you haven't and things might click ...
regards,
Interesting thoughts. Actually seeing artists really helps complete the "picture".
Like I mentioned about Steely Dan and other Rock groups, they lack content for the long run. Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and other jazz greats have such prolific catalogs which includes both studio and live. Jazz goes back 100 plus years so there is just more time as well.
So, if you can catch the joy of one of these artists, you will have a lot of fun hours of listening. For the longest time I just couldn't get Miles and took Louis and Ella for granted. But somewhere along the line all those artists "hit" me like a train. Sometimes it's a single note and like Miles, I just finally found a few albums that I could appreciate and my love grew from there. It's almost like learning a new language. It takes time and effort and then out of the blue, a whole new world opens up for you.
'time and effort and then out of the blue'
aha! Miles' Kinda Blue set the hook for me ... again, my jazzbo pals turned me onto it by playing the charts whilst I jammed on it ... then I heard the record and ... "so that's what I'm trying to play" ... the next time they trotted it out I laid back [I was way too 'busy' before] and just came in on where the brass chorus should be with a staccato chord voicing ... we didn't have horns in the room at that point ... that worked and earned me some high fives and a proud little moment
alrighty then, I'm off to get some honey-do honey-done in a few so ...
have a great or better day!
