Okay so you don't need to justify your listening. But.......if you dig it tell us why?

Me? Mile seven steps to heaven why? Victor Feldman beauty set against the future quintet greatness in transition!!!

Bach Cantata 54. Why that first crazy complex chord and it's development. I mean Bach wrote more than250 of these "Bible selections set to music" there is no way he knew folks in 2017 would be digging what he was writing. He did it as the greatest guy ever doing his thing...knocks me out!!!

So what are you listening to???

I just downloaded Jacob Coliers In My Room. I love take 6 style singing. These arrangements s he did are killer. Harmonically complex and his sense of rhythm. Septuplets quintuples and others. Always something to surprise and delight. Someone posted about him on the forum and I've been hooked ever since. Quincy Jones can't be wrong about this young genius.

Metallica - Hardwired to Self Destruct Because it's Metallica and it totally rocks. Yeaaahhh F***in' Metallica... lol
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Because Fleetwood Mac is totally awesome, The whole band cooks here... Awesome songs, great playing all around.
Chris Poland - Return To Metalopolis Shreddy, yet fusiony yet metally... It's a lot of fun, and Chris is an absolute monster.
Usher - Confessions Usher is an amazing singer, and this record is a production masterpiece. Fat beats, cool arrangements, boss vocals...
Derek Trucks Band - Songlines Derek is not human, he has a musical voice that has been touched by angels.
The Kongos - Egomaniac Fun tunes, really excellent. I just like it.
Glenn Gould - Bach 2 Part Inventions I'm obsessed wth these, they are awesome.
Soundgarden - Superunknown 'Cause it's Soundgarden and it rocks.

Love the passion man!!!

On the Glenn Gould inventions does the recording quality ever bother you? He only recorded these onc that I know of and early, I just wish there was a later interpretation a la the Goldberg

WHY?
because I just love really tight, creative jam bands.

Robin Trower -Time and Emotion
Because his last 5 or 6 albums have been amazingly soulful. He's continued to be a creative artist into his 70's. Hasn't lost a note in those fingers.

Hot Rize, Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, etc.
I'm deep into building solid bluegrass chops on mandolin. If you've never tried to play it, bluegrass is much harder than it may seem, especially if you want to be competent in every key.

Iron Maiden
Metallica (the good era+hardwired)
Megadeth
Slayer
queen
pink floyd (the good days)
etc etc

TajMo (Taj Mahal/Keb Mo)
Issa Bagayogo
Tony Allen
Habib Koite'
Vue Faka Toure'
Fela Kuti
Weather Report
Nguyen Le'
Sixun
John McLaughlin
King Crimson
Trey Gunn
Greg Howard

In my quest to develop my own voice on the Stick, I gravitate toward a lot of African players and African stringed instruments. They all have interesting pentatonic patterns that weave into the rhythm of drums and percussion. I have always been a HUGE fan of Weather Report as well.... both the compositions and Zawinul's playing. They always had the baddest bass players as well. Listening to King Crimson, Trey Gunn and Greg Howard give me a "rootedness" in technique and flow of the instrument as well.
