What are you listening to right now?

Had a 'puter crash recently. They are the lifeblood of much that we do here these days. Backups were plenty, but... tech details made me frown. As I was thumping away at the keyboard & listening to tunes on an old fashioned stereo, this tune came to mind & was not on the gazillion/giga bunch of backups. "My Pledge Of Love" by Joe Jeffreys Group. A quick search found this. I thought it was hokey. Just view it a few times and enjoy the smiles and moves that you don't see in the many hyper-athletic dance competitions today. :happy1:










Yep. This one grows on ya. Confident, smiling, competent, enjoying - that's what I see. Your thoughts?
 
Gospel music has "that" feel. So many came from those roots. This one is a bit overproduced but --- it kicks. Yes.




Dammit! Why can't we be together!?! All of us.
 
HUh? 3 hours of ...

Been to SBH mr. Disco? Try it.


Stanley Clarke will be the "artist in residence" this year at Detroit's JazzFest - biggest free, humongous jazz jam. If in town, don't miss it.


He taught me to be loose on the strings...

Thnx.

Although I'm immersed in jazz this week. Conversations led me to dig into some music that always gets ya goin. Roma, Klezmer, Gypsy jazz. Met "Les Yeux Noir" (French Roma band) some years ago. My French was as bad as their English. We got along fine and their music was so soulful & energetic. It was special. I can't find any vids that do justice to their awesomeness. So... here's some roots stuff.

These folks (Les Yeux Noir) can blast out some hard rock & they can slip into traditional (like my favs - Los Lobos) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx8HYYHvqZc
