C&L's Late Night Music Club With The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Logan Murphy — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:30:46 +0000

I had the pleasure of catching Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats opening for Stevie Ray Vaughn shortly before Stevie's untimely death in 1990. Stevie Ray stole the show, but Brian was every bit his equal that night. The Cats put on one hell of a show and Setzer wailed like a man on fire.

This live version of 'Switch Blade 327' isn't the greatest quality, but the music and vibe comes through loud and clear.

More music tonight at our sister site Newstalgia: The Cribs with Johnny Marr live at The Limelight in Belfast, 2004.

Late Night Music Club with Dream Warriors

Title: My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style

Artist: Dream Warriors

Hip hop jazz and toasting from Toronto. Who knew? I kid, I kid. They’re actually very polite.
My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style
I love the fusion of jazz and hip hop. Both are dynamic styles, whose artists make up new rules as they go along. Hip hop looked to jazz for funky hooks, break beats and themes to create tonal beat driven backdrops for rhymes.
In the 60s, a wave of bossa nova and cha-cha raced through the states and this was reflected in old standards being ‘Latinized’ and in new compositions, based on Latin rhythms.

‘Soul Bossa Nova’ by Quincy Jones, was one such composition. Quincy Jones conducted a lineup for the 1962 ‘Big Band Bossa Nova’ album that featured ‘Soul Bossa Nova,’ which included Phil Woods, alto sax; Paul Gonsalves, tenor sax; Clark Terry playing trumpet and flugelhorn; Rahsaan Roland Kirk, present on flute and alto flute; Jerome Richardson on flute, alto flute, and woodwinds; Lalo Schifrin on piano (you may have heard some of his other work here); Jim Hall, guitar; Chris White, Bass; Rudy Collins, drums; and Jack Del Rio, Carlos Gomez, and Jose Paula, all contributing to the percussion section.

Title: Vertigo

Artist: U2

Five years ago today I started my own humble little blog, and that same month U2 released the album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb."

They've had considerably more traffic than I.

I ran that Sam and Dave clip from this same show featuring the "Stax/Volt Revue" on tour in Europe -- which meant that the house band was Booker T. and the MG's and the Mar-Keys -- a little earlier, but as good as Sam and Dave might have been, they paled in comparison to Otis Redding, who immediately followed them. He was The Man. This was his closing song. Whew. Seven months after this, Redding died in a plane crash. It was one of the great losses to music.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Laurie Anderson

I love seeing Laurie Anderson live; I've seen her about four times and have never been less than electrified. I was lucky enough to have bought the VHS version of Anderson's concert film, Home of the Brave, back when it came out briefly in the early 1990s. Laurie has been promising to put it out on DVD someday, but so far it's remained unavailable in digital form. It featured a great collection of talent, including Adrian Belew on guitar and Joy Askew on keyboards, and perhaps was best known for featuring appearances by William S. Burroughs, including a brief tango with Laurie. And great songs, too. This is my favorite piece on the tape; the studio version of "Sharkey's Day" on Mister Heartbreak is one of the great aural set pieces, and its power is somewhat muted in a live setting, but the stage work here is phenomenal, so it makes for a very cool show.

C&L's Late Night Music Club With The B-52s

Title: Rock Lobster

Artist: B52s

This version of Rock Lobster shows the young B-52s in true form. With singer Fred Schneider sportin a pornstache, and cranking out enough cow bell to satisfy even Christopher Walken, the band flat out nails it.

C&L's Late Night Music Club With Stanley Jordan

Logan Murphy — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:00:26 +0000

Buckle up for an amazing ride with Stanley Jordan and his band. I'm posting parts one and two of Return Expedition tonight, giving you eighteen minutes of teh awesome. Part one features a smokin' bass solo from Charnett Moffett, and drummer Tommy Campbell tears it up in part two. Oh yeah, and there's Stanley Jordan being Stanley Jordan -- playing two guitars at once, even tuning one guitar without missing a note on the other.

Title: Almost Blue

Artist: Chet Baker

(h/t Akeem)

We're going to bring the room down for a little while this evening. Chet Baker's version of Elvis Costello's Almost Blue is sure to bring your pulse down and take you back -- or away to somewhere else. So kick back, grab a cuppa somethin' and relax...
