Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band

Man, if you're gonna be a SD tribute band you had better be tight.

I can't think of another band whose music requires such exquisite musicianship.

Went to see a Steely Dan tribute band ("Hey Nineteen") at the Met in beautiful Pawtucket RI the other night. I'd forgotten what an incredible catalogue of music they had! Fagen and the late Walter Becker were interesting cats (beatnik reference is purposeful).

I'd go see them, they are well known in the Dan world. I can't remember there name but you google Japanese Steely Dan Tribute and I'll bet you find another great tribute band with an accent that isn't from NYC : ) Not the same without Walter but if Steely Dan came near me this summer I'd go

Mary J Blige: "Family Affair"

Once again, I don't think it'll get better than this today.

I did a recent deep dive with Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. That was a good day.

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

I don't think it can get better than this today.

You got that right. My god that whole album. Also: no rehearsal. What you are hearing is those guys' first look at the melodies. They are working it out as they record. They did multiple takes but all in one day.

The little meandering modal intro on So What that opens the album, where the bass and piano are just wandering down a stair, is one of my favorite phrases of all time.

To put that album in perspective, Bill Evans, who is one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, is only the 4th best musician on that album. I am going to go listen to it now.
