Postwar atmospherica. High bop modernism and Afro-Latin sounds, twilight exotica and soundtrack moods, soul stompers and weepers, hypnotic R&B and blues, mystical '60s pop, lonely country, lonelier rock 'n' roll, instrumental weirdness, electronic creaking. Bringing worlds beyond into the worlds at hand.

Fun stuff from Shihab's Wikipedia entry: "In the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, Shihab accompanied Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson on stage for the Swedish entry 'Nygammal Vals'." And re: Rutgers: "From 1985-86, Shihab was a visiting artist at Rutgers University." | |

Dean:
Not long ago, I discovered that Irvine Arditti of the eponymous, and nearly miraculous, string quartet, played on some pop album I'd recently acquired. I'm thinking it was one of Art Garfunkel's albums. Unlike Shahib in Sweden, Arditti was a mere credit among many in the ensemble. But I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. Arditti went on to prompt John Cage to complete his Freeman Etudes project, which he had abandoned when its original designated artist, Paul Zukofsky, complained that he couldn't perform anything beyond the first half of the work. Arditti surmounted the hurdle. Still, as a young artist, he had to "pay his dues." | |

chresti, you should hear Jerry with Merl Saunders. Plenty jazzy blues. I remember c.'74 or so deciding, largely on the basis of Jerry's steel playing for CSN&Y, that he was one of the great guitar players. | |

He also manages to present a personality distinct from his musical artistry, but unlike some artists who manage the same, say, Glenn Gould, it's not a neurotic personality. He exudes charisma...and musical talent! | |

Little Danny:
During UM's live request show a coupla years ago I asked for "The Wheel," and he graciously complied |
![]() |
![]() I think Jerry would have been the first to admit that he didn't have the technique of, say, Sneaky Pete or Buddy Emmons, with multiple pedals being manipulated and chords moving internally. It is a really challenging axe, and full time playing is probably required to master it. . But JG could always find the most musical line to insert in any musical situation. |

Thu. 4/4/19 11:20pm

Well yeah, But to hear some one who is at the height of their power when you're just a kid and haven't heard that much live music, it kind of re arranges your molecules. |

Dean:
I sometimes smell music. Example: Prokofiev and vinegar. But mostly I dwell on its "diachronic" aspect--the way it moves through time--and its material aspect--the records themselves, the medium in which it's embodied. Put another way, I often enjoy listening to music less than playing records. | |

My first music video memory of the early 70s is of Tom Waits, opening with an animation of him under a marquee: "Tom Waits For No One" ... On Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, I think.
