Music: Jazz Sabbath?!?!
A new find, Jazz Sabbath bends genre's melding the genius of Ozzy and Tony Iommi into a small jazz combo, providing ample room for tonal exploration.

I find a lot of intriguing music and I try to share the ones that are most fun and impressive. I am on the left, playing at a friend's party circa 2003. This was my 1986 Charvel Model 4. Man, how I miss that guitar.

Take Five has become one of those bellweather pieces of music. Always worth listening to, and an iconic groove. Kenny Banks Jr. delivers a superb interpretation for solo piano.

Geek: Amplification
Guitarists are snobs, but our snobbery is a mere fraction of the nuttiness of the audiophile ecosystem. The myths are sticky, but real data and tests are good at busting them.

Music: Deborah Coleman
It really sucks to discover an amazing talent to learn that they have already left us. Deborah Coleman had the blues running through her veins, and she was outstanding.

Music: The Band Geeks
Covid era collabs were wierd, but wonderful. Here the Band Geeks do an outstanding rendition of Yes' "Roundabout". 9 minutes of joy for your eardrums.

Music: UtA - Green & Glass (and AI)
A killer track, but the accompanying video was made using AI, but instead of being slop, they licensed from the artist. That is bad-ass! \m/

Music: Diablo Swing Orchestra
AI has me gun shy. When I discover something new that I like, it seems that too often it is AI generated music from Suno or similar. This time, I am happy to report that I was able to verify that the Diablo Swing Orchestra is not AI.

A killer duo collaborating on a killer track, and an Epic video. Enjoy Alissa White-Gluz guesting on Simone's album Vermillion. \m/

Music: Nori Bucci
The fact that Nori Bucci is almost unknown is criminal. Her talent and skills are off the charts.

Fucking AI in music...
AI music is infecting the world, and it is getting well and truly scary how good it is. Here's a player demonstrating how to "write" a song with AI, and how terrifying this is for flesh and blood musicians.
