| Jazz for aficionados @jafant I really enjoyed Tom’s "Labyrinth" disc. Anything with Kenny Werner, I am there! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! About ten years ago, my wife and I were lucky to catch Werner’s trio in a very intimate venue. Even better, we were able to... | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @tablejockey Two very different tunes. Given Beck's gift for interpreting and personalizing melodies, I for one am glad he ended up with the tune with the greater potential for melodic playing. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @rwortman . . . The PRaT that audio writers prattle about is an illusion . . . . . . and yet for some us, at least, the presentation of pace, rhythm and timing is discernibly different from one system to another. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @calvinandhobbes Orchestral music, as a vast generalization, tends to have interactions between the different instrumental sections that is of a nature that is not as quick and transient as those in jazz music. Thanks for kindly pointing out ... | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @crustycoot The only element JB brought that Morse misses is the occasional outburst of blues aggression. Maybe it’s the compression or lower volume, but when Beck wants to let the anger out, you know it, and in Morse’s hands it seems muted. ... | |

| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @rettrussell I see. I had an instructional cassette by him way back in the early 80's, so teaching was clearly something that appealed to him. What an opportunity! | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @rettrussell The price of repair was that Steve come and jam with them in their rehearsal space.....and he came down and played! Wow ! They must be pretty hot players. I can't imagine placing myself in that situation. | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @tablejockey A Jeff Beck cover is a tall order. Morse is in the small company of players who can pull it off. I agree... @mitchagain Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @mkorsunsky Ever heard of irony or phrasemes (fixed expressions)? Yes. But when utilized without providing a context, they don’t communicate much. While I appreciate the additional information, it’s still not clear to me how those two c... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @mkorsunsky Why "partners in crime" ? What is "criminal" about PRaT and how can any definition of music exclude harmony? | |
