Thanks for the link PMS. I'll check it out at work as I don't have a fast enough connection out here in the sticks to listen to it now.

Funk Brothers, yes. Used to spend my high school spare time playing along with Marvin Gaye's Super Hits. Jamerson was the baddest bassist! Great sound - more like an upright than most bass guitarists. He was an upright player originally, Fender set up their basses in the 50s/60s with a bridge cover with foam packed on the inside, so the strings would be muted and sound like the bass fiddle. Everyone else ripped the things off but Jamerson kept it on. They'd written articles about him by the time I was learning (mid 80s) so I made my own mutes.

I notice YouTube has videos of Breau playing with both Chet Atkins and Tal Farlow, who was another jazz great.

Did you guys bother with that vid I posted of Jimmy Bryant? According to Barney Kessel, "Jimmy Bryant is the fastest and the cleanest, and has more technique than any other guitarist."

I'm a Sonny Sharrock fan too. Like John McLaughlin he was more of a cranked amps guy though.

Yeah, there's a lot of music lovers around here. I know I'm one of them. Maybe we can make this into the new music thread. So we just keep it going and the music goes round and round until the grocery stores are empty and we have to rely on what we've stored. Then we play acoustic
Of course there won't be any amplifiers.

Back in the early 90's, I worked at Hasting's in Oklahoma. There was this local guitarist named Edgar Cruz we use to play whenever he cut a cd. I saw him live a few times in college. Unbelievable.

I probably qualify as a musician you haven't heard of...

I am a serious jazz musician, as well as experimental rocker.

I've posted a lot about the restaurant where I used to work. There was an old chap who used to play the accordion every Friday night. He was a good unknown musician. There's lots of good unknown musical artists. That's just the way it is. Guys and gals who studied hard and mastered the craft and now eke out a subsistence life trying to make a go of it. Most give up and go do something like driving a forklift. As I said, that's just the way it is. I would hope that Carlhole won't mind if I broaden this idea for a thread.

The Dave Holland Quartet reference reminded me of Charles Mingus

btw, keeping a thread alive in the OF is not as easy as it is in the HOF.

Here's some more vintage Mingus

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SpringCreekFarm', 'I') used to have a 65 Fender Jaguar that had mutes on it. It wasn't my thing at the time but I do remember it being there.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheDude', 'T')hese guys were always my favorite jazzy rock band: Minutemen - This Ain't No Picnic. They were a political/punk band too - sense of humour as well - that's Reagan strafing them!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheDude', 'F')ound a '62 Jag in a shop, late 80's. My high school band played Satyricon in Portland a week after Nirvana did, Cobain made Jags and Jazzmasters hip. Always like those unusual Fender/Gibson axes.

I hate to see this thread sink beneath the waves, but it probably will anyway. The OF has been opened back up to the public. It's obvious that a lot of unregistered visitors were going to the HOF music thread because they liked it. So perhaps this could be the swan song for peakoil.com music threads. And how many of you ever heard of Garnett Mimms? Did you, Carlhole?

I did get some Bill Frisell playing with Brad Holland yesterday but haven't listened to it yet. I can probably find those others you mentioned as well. here's a video from the Supreme Beings of Leisure.

how about 14 year old Jim Ollier?

I'll try for a little while to keep this thread going. Then I'll give up.
