#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Level 42 - 1980-2010 30th Anniversary World Tour (2010). I’ve said it before, but Mark King is a beast on the bass and the band is tight AF. Just a fantastic show. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Soul Coughing - El Oso (1998). I was rollin’ to Soul Coughing long before I knew about Mike Doughty, his story, and his success at clawing his life and art back. I’m only playing this now because he’s reconciled with his former bandmates. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - Can You Still Feel (1999). Falkner is IMO a brilliant multi-instrumentalist and #PowerPop #ProgressivePop #Rock master craftsman I first discovered on The Grays one and only album. He was Beck’s guitarist, as well. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Squeeze - Babylon and On (1987). I’ve enjoyed Squeeze for decades but find that I never listen to them enough. Great album. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Paul Gilbert - Vibrato (2012). Extraordinary guitarist and very funny guy, immediately notable on tracks like “Enemies (in jail)”, “Vibrato”, and “Atmosphere on The Moon”. www.youtube.com/watch #music #rock #hardrock
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings (Special Edition)(2009) This epic album features four tracks that clock in at over 12 minutes and a fantastic cover of Queen’s Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley. #progrock #progmetal #music
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Progger - Scattering (2016). #ProgressiveJazz #JazzFusion #Jazz Progger is a colloquial term for a person who is a fan of progressive music and also a great band. www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dave Weckl Band - Multiplicity (2005). #jazz #jazzfusion Excellent album with a nice mix of energies and a talented line-up with Dave on the drums. www.youtube.com/watch

I realized yesterday whilst doing a little research that I’d been leaving out the Jazz Fusion genre as a tag and only using the Progressive Jazz tag, which not everyone will recognize. I’ve now rectified that error :) This is my second favorite Simon Phillips album, though I do adore the Protocol projects, Midair Decision and Biplane to Bermuda being my two favorite tracks. My favorite remains 1999’s Out of The Blue, however, with its more kinetic take on Midair Decision. I’ll be playing that next :)
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Snarky Puppy - Immigrance (2019). When I start playing SP it’s just too hard to stop. Also, half of their albums have an audience in the studio. This one does not. Had to look that up. #music #progressivejazz #jazz www.youtube.com/watch
