TUBA!!!! also synthesizers/software synthesizers. i can carry a tune on guitar but not really play it. i plan on getting a guitar teacher this year.

despite my username i'm not much of a jazz fan either lol

as do i. other than that, i'm going to this. typically those concerts have one bad artist, one really bad artist, and one fucking amazing artist. i saw the avett brothers live there in july. decent in the studio but amazing live. [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=ohk_dXUqlK8]YouTube - When I Drink - The Avett Brothers - The Music Farm[/ame] or one from the concert i went to: [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=6AevkfOifhE]YouTube - The Avett Brothers - Paranoia in Bb Major - Louisville[/ame] i can hear myself talking in this one a few times lol

more like everybody else is late and i don't read the forums i dl'd the album in a batch along with a few other postrock things, cam butler and grayceon. those are both great bands too, although don't have any free jazz elements.. cam butler has folk and symphonic overtones whilst grayceon is more neoclassical/metal... not in the malmsteen sense. i still haven't given boat a good listen, i'll do that soon and i trust you've heard SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS? they're as good as people say they are imo

in soviet russia that joke is still not funny lol

oh my goooood

just finished rereading 1984. now:

the tags on the files i uploaded for you are wrong, it's SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS, all caps no spaces. remember, they play in caps.

i didn't know you were a natsumen fan hi5

rachmaninov is just a bit to schmaltzy for me, although i love some of the piano concertos--especially the first one, excellent. liszt i just don't like the fluffy stuff, but his good compositions are really really good.

so am i the only one that doesn't like mahler? i mean, i really should. he wrote all of the stuff low brass musicians love to play. but i just don't. i have the exact same problem with rachmaninov, and to a much lesser degree, liszt. i like the 6th though, and i have liked bernstein's the most so far, and i'm normally not a huge fan of his.

this awesome japanese jazz-spazz-blaghblaghblagh album is practically a religious experience. and hungrych liked it a whole fucking lot http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=T5M2WDUE it's supposed to be capitalized how i had it in the topic... recommended to all.

makes me wish i hadn't bought a new midi controller, lots of good recordings there...

reks who is that in your signature picture

that thread doesn't have any pretty pictures. i do not approve.

Remember Shakti - Saturday Night In Bombay This... this is one fucking amazing piece of music. Remember Shakti is a group formed by John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain, two absolute virtuosos on their respective instruments (guitar and tablas), in tribute to their former group, Shakti. This is a live recording, recorded on one of the last shows of the last leg of their world tour. Since it was such a special occasion, McLaughlin and Hussain were joined by a fucking myriad of virtuosos from the Indian classical scene; U Srinivas, Debashish Bhattacharya, Shiv Kumar Sharma... Christ. Other than some goddamn amazing interplay, this album features some of the most amazing McLaughlin solos I've ever heard. Score one for the "world-fusion" genre. A must-have for any fan of McLaughlin, and the best possible entrance into the broad world of Indian music I can possibly think of. Truly ball-busting. Summary: I actually liked this album enough to type in proper case. I'll add to the list later.

dude, you look like you're my age. duuuuude. also, both at once.

agreed. layered vocals are kinda cool though. actually, it's better than expected. 6/10
