Re: Recommend a cd
I'm surprised no one's mentioned that Tony Levin was in King Crimson in all the 80s and some of the 90s incarnations and Project 1 and Project 4 (various King Crimson spin off projects) all must listens IMO. Fantastic music.
He was then replaced by Trey Gunn, a Fripp protege. He's a WARR guy, but really good and I enjoy all his solo works as well.

Re: Recommend a cd
In no particular order, here are some artists in my 'Stick' catagory that get regular plays in no particular order: Jason Sturgess - Curio ( there once was a free download somewhere on his site, thanks Jason! ) Trey Gunn - One Thousand Years ( buy -- I think he was still on the Stick at this point ) Bert Lams And Tom Griesgraber - Live at Momms ( buy ) Oceans in Space ( free downloads -- DGRF now playing as I type. Ben, which recordings have Stick in them? Thanks for the tunes. )

Re: Recommend a cd
Currently going back through my old collection of cds. Happy the Man's self-titled album really slaying me right now. Perhaps the most technically gifted band in that genre, in that time period. What a trip to hear that keyboardist. It's more poignant knowing they were from Harrisonburg, just a hop, skip and a jump from my place in Virginia Beach.
Anybody here remember the Muffins?

Anybody here remember the Muffins? Yeah, they were great...and Happy the Man too...haven't listened to either in 20+ years, though...now I miss my old prog LP collection, which I sold to buy classical music.... Mad Monk.

Re: Recommend a cd
The Chapman Stick Meets The Beatles Michael Kollwitz 3 reasons 1. It isn't jazz... which seems to be the overwhelming genre of the stick. 2. mostly solo stick 3.All songs are well known, ease of comparisons. IMHO some songs do not translate well to the Stick, but some of the ballads do very well.

Re: Recommend a cd
Jazz is the overwhelming Genre? I think. I disagree.
It depends on what you call jazz, I guess. I think instrumental music, for sure improv based yes but jazz? no.
