Bump and Sway (Live) – Deep Banana Blackout

24 October 2017

Everyone has a few of those albums that you always go back to, what are some of  yours? One of mine has always been Deep Banana Blackout’s Rowdy Duty. Its been apart of my life for nearly 20 years and at this point feels more like a conversation with an old friend than a recorded musical performance.

Rebubula – moe.

18 October 2017

moe. gave birth to Rebubula on December 30, 1994 at the legendary Mecca of Jamband music, The Wetlands Preserve in NYC.   This infectious eleven minute guitar jam was always a playlist staple of mine.

Bertha (Live at Jahrhundert Halle) – Grateful Dead

18 October 2017

This past summer I finally took in my first Dead show, not that I missed the bus so to speak, but I had never chance to fulfill that goal. Once the music started to flow I instantly felt at home. The vibes being shared by the legion of like minded kind people reminded me of why I fell in love with Jamband music all over again. Much like life music is an experience. Share it with good people.

Watermelon In Easter Hay – Frank Zappa

18 October 2017

Watermelon In Easter Hay is one of Frank Zappa signature guitar compositions. Though not his most complex, its haunting melodic riffs will transpose the raw emotion flowing from Frank’s fingers.

Love and Greed (Live) – Blues Traveler

18 October 2017

For me personally, Blues Traveler will the band the opened my ears to the word of improvisational rock. I have been Fellow Traveler for over 20 years  and have seen some legendary shows but the day I went to the ‘96 H.O.R.D.E Festival forever changed the path my life would take…or at least made it more groovy.

Sunshine Of Your Love – Cream

17 October 2017

The circumstances in-which this iconic track from Cream was recorded under are almost as legendary as the track itself! Drummer Ginger Baker was so stoned at the time of the recording they had to duct tape the sticks in his hands. Take note to the simplistic driving rhythm of the drums early in this track.

Move – Saint Motel

23 August 2017

Bu şarkıyla tanışmam radyoda en çok dinlenen 40 şarkı içindeyken
olmuştu. Başka bir şey üzerinde çalışıyordum ama şarkıyı ilk
duyduğumda bununla yaratıcı bir şeyler ortaya çıkarabileceğimi
düşündüm.

Stuck – The Aces

10 August 2017

Music’s really simple – ultimately.  

It hits your ears and makes you feel.

it “adds” something.

You may not like what it does, but it creates a response.

The Beat – Andy Vargas

2 August 2017

Sometimes the energy of a track is irresistible and you have to stop what you’re doing and check it out.  I had been chatting with producer Michael Carey about just how much great music was “out there” and yet with the current distribution bottle neck – we get to hear so little of it.

Funky Love – Nate James

15 July 2017

I remember hearing this song for the first time in London at Cafe 1001. I hushed my friends so that my phone could hear over the loud voices and espresso machine and tell me what song was sound-tracking everyone’s’ conversations.

Brunch at the Bodega – Flamingosis

11 July 2017

Personally I enjoy cleaning. It lets me clear my mind and think things through. But don’t get me wrong I love playing music that gets me moving, so having a song that does both for me is the best .

Sleeping Lotus – Joep Beving

31 January 2017

This track could have been written two hundred years ago and yet – it sounds wonderfully modern and unique.
