One of favourite Steely Dan songs (Don't Take Me Alive), dissected.by Rick Beato. He sure knows how to make music videos interesting, worth following.

Babe Ruth - First Base // 1973

Steve Miller - Fly Like An Eagle, probably his most consistent album IMO.

A great modern trio album....

Too raw for me..

Original UK CD:

Very delicate playing, standards yes..., but in a nice way...

Renee Rosnes - Beloved of the sky

Good jazz by Canadian pianist Renee Rosnes and her quintet!

• Bass – Peter Washington
• Drums – Lenny White
• Piano – Renee Rosnes
• Saxophone, Flute – Chris Potter (2)
• Vibraphone – Steve Nelson

Gong - Camembert Electrique // 1971

Tony, I am really liking your photos of original old record sleeves and those quaint round black things. I Know, I need to get out more!

The Rolling Stones - Voodoo Lounge, some strong tracks on this if you don't mind the modern Stones riff lead sound.

Whilst this has always been and remains my favourite SD album, I have never really thought about the solo in Don't Take Me Alive, focusing instead on the great solos in Kid Charlemagne, which I worked out many years ago - having just tried it, I realise I've since forgotten the solo at the end of the song.

The first half of this video has made me think about Don't Take Me Alive again.  I recall following a study course of Larry Carlton where he spoke at length about upper structure triads, which I couldn't really think and apply, preferring a modal approach, but this video has forced me to rethink. Thanks for posting.

Consequently, I'm now playing parts of this:

Spandau Ballet - True 

Stan Getz - Storyville 

I was about to play Ray of Light but ending up playing this instead. I loved this album at the time and it's still sounding as much fun  today as it did back in 1984.

Madonna - Like a Virgin

Nice playing by Wayne Krantz

Thank you, Nigel.

This one is for you and the video is a little bonus.

With my DAC V1 out of order today is a vinyl day. 

Somethin’ Else spinning right now

Cheers Tony. Yes, I remember it was you that introduced this forum to the wonderful Kandace Springs after you happened to pick up this record as an impulse purchase when you were visiting your local HiFi dealer (Grahams IIRC).

After watching the video you posted, I have only just realised that as well as having a truly lovely voice, Ms Springs is also a superb pianist. Talented young lady.

   Steve Winwood - Roll With It.

   There's been a fair bit of Steve played here lately, so, joining in with this album from '88 ........... a blast from the past, as they say,

   but as we say on here, an absolute belter.

From this 2011 DSOTM release, the Wembley November '74 gig:

Bill Evans - Interplay, with Freddie Hubbard (t), Jim Hall (g), Percy Heath (b), Philly Joe Jones (d). Unusual for Bill Evans to be playing with other lead instruments, but it works really well, with every player seeming to realise the significance of the situation and giving their best.
