V/A ~ As Long as You're Living Yours: A Tribute to Keith Jarrett (2000)



There are some stalwarts on this (Joe Lovano, Don Byron, Tom Harrell, John Scofield, Bob James, Chucho Valdez), some lesser-knowns (Flux Quartet, D.D. Jackson, George Garzone), and some crossover artists (Bruce Hornsby, Andy Sommers).

It's good, albeit uneven.

Shoutout to @axolotl for not complaining that I put his post first in this thread, when from his POV it was made in December (PST).

Yes, I think about these things.

[axolotl]

Shoutout to @axolotl for not complaining that I put his post first in this thread, when from his POV it was made in December (PST).

Yes, I think about these things.

It's nice to be of thought of as a non-complainer, if only for the briefest moment in time.

I plan to do less of it in 2022.

...unless one of you tries to stop me.

Then it's on, like "Katy bar the door!"

Then it's on, like "Katy bar the door!"

Hey, hey, hey! Enough with that kind of talk. Just stop it!

Alice Cooper - Killer (1971)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

After Alice Cooper, breaking out my 1975 playlist - not sure I'll get through all 100+ songs but what a year for music

Currently Jefferson Airplane's "Miracles" which has always been one of my favorite light rock/AM cheese of the era (even when I was younger and didn't know how dirty the song was). Quite the contrast from "Love is the Drug" which preceded it and now "Low Rider" which follows it - but it still works! "Kashmir", "Tangled Up In Blue", "Born to Run", "Rhiannon", "Young Americans" - the list goes on. Again, amazing year!
