OK, let's blow the roof off this place! Tommy Bolin/Billy Cobham-Spectrum-Quandrant 4.

Heavy jazz fusion warning. You may want to turn your speakers down first before clicking.

'Jazz Man'

I'm busy @ work and can't find the time @ the moment. Find me some Buddy Rich to remind me of when I was younger. My mate 'The FruitBat' introduced me to his music and its not forgotten.

Dave 'Hal Killer' Bowman.


'..a million bright eyed ambassadors of morning'

Buddy vs. Animal This is just an appetizer.

Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich Both legends of course

Time Check One of my all time faves.

Here's the last TV show he did before he died in '87 at he age of 69. It was a great interview with a lot of insight into the man. It was BBC Parkinson's show several weeks before his death.

Part 1

Part 3

Part 4

augie,

It's Saturday, time to knock one back and wonder what might have been..

Here's one that made me think!
Shame its not very long, I'd love to hear more of it to try and get my head round it!

That was a well done stitching job, kudos to the maker, that fit so well! I've got to find that BR concert if I can, it gave me the chills!

Good idea on the brew, I'll join you.

OK, that was the Northsea Jazz Festival in '78 and the number has been one of BR's standards for years, maybe even when Palmer was still in diapers. Yup on 'imagine what...'!

Another 'what if' was when Miles Davis wanted to Hendrix to play on an album, too bad he 'drowned' before that happened.

Cheers!

Waters tomorrow! Bring it on!!


'been watching some footage of Carl Palmer in action, oh that took me back!



Just checked it, Palmer's just turned 58.
(and his 'old' stainless steel kit weighed in at a mere 2.5 tons)

Hahaha, I thought Palmer was much younger for some reason, so the poster of that vid may not be that far off as far as influences go. I'll go dig up that number as far back as I can, at least before Palmer first recorded and hear for myself. I don't have anything better to do anyways.

Well here's something to get your teeth into.

I saw this guy live the same year ('86) and he was awesome!!!

I love Cray, not the computer hehe. Always been a fave of mine. Lucky you to have seen him live.

It looks windy, it was!
And boy it rained again at night and kept on blowing, but 120,000+ of us never even noticed!

Oh what a day!

this is a taster,
