a profound and classic line from Yes...
."don't surround yourself with yourself"
."don't surround yourself with yourself"
Classical, Rock, Jazz etc. are your tastes evolving with time?
That line from Yes was sponsored by Weight Watchers. I've been a guitar tone freak for about 5 decades which explains why I've owned piles of guitars and amps over the years, and yesterday I was enjoying one of my favorite all time "tone monster" LPs...Yo Yo Ma playing solo Bach...that album is one of my "go to" tone demos, and I can't not sit there for the entire thing once I put it on the table. For me he's the Billy Gibbons of the cello. Go Yo Yo! |
"Billy Gibbons..." Well, Billy can groove some Bluesy Jazz https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=Awr9D25gPqJdVgUAY6u5mWRH;_ylu=X3oDMTByZ2N0cmxpBHNlYwN... The REAL test of a musician...sit with Les Or B.B. Stevie can play too. https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=Awr9ImMIQqJd7JMABD_BGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTByNWU4cGh1BGNvbG8... |
Classical, European folk evolved into country and rock came from parts of Europe including England. Jazz is American, and much of the world from Copenhagen to Paris to Japan embraces American Jazz, especially from Scott Joplin through the Be Bop era. Some of the best American Jazz I was able to ever see was at Jazz bars in Kovenhavn at 3 in the morning. New York City is sometimes referred to as the city that never sleeps, Kovenhavn seriously does not sleep. Even the hot dog vendors on the street are out in the "wee" hours. |
