    I haven't heard of Jorgenson (we lost both our jazz and classical stations last year) but I sure will check him out.

    He’s a session musician who also has his own albums. He’s done a couple of albums of Django inspired music. Really incredible stuff. Some of it is Django’s songs, some of it is original compositions, all of it is incredible.


    Also, for those who love good acoustical guitar playing, I can’t recommend highly enough YOAV. The guy is simply stunning. I saw him as an opening act for Tori Amos in December and it’s just a guy with his guitar and nothing else. All other sounds are created by looping the sounds of his guitar back upon itself so he can accompany himself. Really amazing stuff, and beautiful lyricism as well.

    In my younger days I used to listen to: Country Joe & The Fish "Fix'n To Die Rag" or Jefferson Airplane and who can forget The Allman Bro's Band.
    Then there was Mountain and basically everyone who played at Woodstock 69. A great year!

    Just my 2 cents

    I'm hanging with Snoop Dog and Tech Nine tonight, some days it's Feist and Jack Johnson, and I adore 80's pop.

    I got myself a 16GB iTouch for Christmas, so I've been moving all my music onto there. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that my music tastes are all over the place...

    The Corrs
    Maroon 5
    David Usher (love the new CD "Strange Birds")
    Feist
    Josh Groban
    Linkin Park
    Nelly Furtado
    R.E.M.
    Robbie Williams
    Black Eyed Peas (before Fergie went and turned skanky)
    Green Day
    and some teen pop that I'm too ashamed to admit to anyone... :o

    Here's John covering Django's and Stephane Grappelli's version of Limehouse Blues. Inspired playing.

    If (or when?) you find yourself in that twilight zone where you are too bushed (not Bush'ed) to do anything smart but still too jumpy to lie down and sleep.. there's a number of outstanding jazz and jazzy pop tracks on YouTube. I've been sampling jazz pianists Keith Jarrett and Erroll Garner. Here's a sampler: Erroll Garner in Rome 1972 "For once in my life.."

    [youtube]PKAsnwVQp6Q[/youtube]



    And now a commercial message from Navy Patrol Boat, River..

    I have an extensive collection of Jan Gabarek including Nude Ants and others he did with Keith Jarrett.

    Here's one.

    Yeah, it is sorta wacky. But, if you take some of Johnny's "twang" out, and take some of Crowe's "rock" out-they both have a blue-sy groove that I dig. The Crowes just released a new album, Warpaint, that is much less rock-y, and much more blues or folk sounding.

    why not? Cash did covers of "13" by Danzig (a song that sounds like it was written for Cash) and also "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden.

    Oh! He also did "Hurt" by NIN (Ternt Reznor) and "Personal Jesus" from Depeche Mode (Though I think Marilyn Manson did a far better version)

    Then again, I could listen to Cash sing the phone book:D
