#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Descartes A Kant - Live on KEXP (2024). I get serious DEVO vibes from this band, but they’ve created their own sound, and I’m diggin’ it. Definitely worth 45 minutes of your time. #music #rock #neopunk #DAK www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Various Artists - Bass Anthology: Vol. 1 (2021). I can’t find any info other than it’s from France, focuses on bass players, and is only on Apple Music so I made a playlist of what I could find. #music #bass #jazz #funk #soul #blues www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Far More (2019). How many lawyers do you know who can shred like this, and with range like Eric Johnson and does an MJ cover!? Not many, I’m guessing. One complaint… the album is too short! #music #instrumental #rock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Live @ Sony Studios NYC (2000). As was typical of the era the audio is phenomenal but the video is 4:3 and blurry. Doesn’t matter. Still fantastic. Thanks for everything, Walter! #music #jazzrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol IV (2017). With Greg Howe on guitar, Ernest Tibbs on bass, and Dennis Hamm on keys. The first I’d heard of Simon was on Celtic Run, the sixth track. I’ve tucked in fully since. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

The wife recently discovered #Goose, an amazing new-ish #JamBand, and we’ve been digging into their epic shows. I’d read in #Wikipedia that they had a special guest drummer a couple years ago, and found it. Enjoy! #music #rock #muppets www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lee Ritenour & Mike Stern with The Freeway Band - Live at Blue Note Tokyo (2011). Today is def Simon Phillips day, as he plays drums in this show with John Beasley on keys, and Melvin Davis on bass. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol III (2015). The third album in the series, featuring the same crew from Protocol II. Narmada bangs right out of the gate, and I’m quite fond of Circle Seven. #music #jazzfusion #jazzrock www.youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol II (2013). The second album, featuring Andy Timmons (G), Steve Weingart (K), and Earnest Tibbs (B), would settle the #rock-oriented sound of Simon’s #JazzFusion into it’s ongoing format. #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol (1989). The first in a series of projects that would bring together a rotating group of talented musicians to make #rock oriented #jazzfusion. There are five albums… so far. #music www.youtube.com/watch
