    Despite the gloriously blustering artwork above, the forecast for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 38: NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, UNIONDALE, NY, 9/8/73 is blazing hot! With a double endorsement from archivists Dick Latvala and David Lemieux, you know it's a MUST HAVE. This one's got inspired playing from start to finish, with soon-to-be-minted Wake Of The Flood classics, a first-ever "Weather Report Suite," Keith polishing his chops on "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away," Jerry tapping into era-defining sound with his Wolf guitar, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Bob's exquisite playing too.

    Dave, thanks, and perhaps start with "Gone, Just Like a Train," from Frisell. I've likely told this story here before, but when I lived in Colorado I took piano lessons from a woman who often lived in Seattle, and when there she would hang out and jam with Frisell and Gary Larson of The Far Side fame.

    Jazz fans, please order a copy of "Data Lords" from Maria Schneider. The music and the packaging are phenomenal! It's not streaming anywhere, as Maria is a staunch advocate for musicians actually getting paid what they're worth. So buying it is a great way to get some of your stimulus money into the hands it maybe should have gone into in the first place.

    And I just got a note from our local jazz radio station (we're so lucky, radio-wise, here in The Cities), 88.5 KBEM (stream them--they have a show called Bluegrass Saturday Morning that's really fun); sounds like saxophonist Dave McMurray has put out a GD-themed CD.

    Made it through a lot of D1 of the King Crimson box set during yesterday's work-out. I'm warming to it, trying to let it be in a space occupied by the collision of Jethro Tull, Genesis, and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

    That's Mike / Mr. Ones / etc.

    You got me to purchase A Portrait.. I'm all in.

    I hear from reliable sources that Dennis just pulled the trigger on the $1,750 Bill Frisell, every note ever recorded box set, CD and BluRay edition. (don't tell his wife).

    Special shout out to all of you here that keep things moving.. it's really interesting to check in and see what's happening.. interesting and I always learn something and broaden my horizons a bit. Many, many thanks.

    P.S. don't tell my wife about the BluRay purchase. I'd hate to lose the relationship capital I spent all summer building up with the big box set announcement looming.... It's the little things that trip us up and put us in the dog house.. Yes.. I too have am a bit of a completist, I am running out of space to put all this stuff..

    Mr Ones - You are absolutely right, amazing how many of us here share the same tastes in sound, the great Bill Frizell among them. One of the gems I have in my Frizell collection is a DVD entitled “A Portrait”, which was done by I believe an Australian filmmaker, Emma Franz (I think I got it from her website). Excellent, lots of interviews with people he has worked with. I was able to get a used copy of his trio with Ginger Baker & Charlie Haden, should be good (Think about the universal forces that bring these three guys together???)

    I’ve always been Grateful to the Dead for being one of the groups that pushed me in the direction of jazz (oddly, I owe the same nod to Steely Dan) way back when, which opened up an amazing whole different world of music.

    Yet an hour later, I could play the Louvin Brothers, or the lovely Emmylou Harris, and love it.
    Music is the best, Mr Ones! Yes, indeed!

    Just read your post on that Jimbo. The timing is coincidental, because I just listened to the 2nd to last Dave's Picks from April '78, and noticed he was using it on Playing in the Band for a change. I don't recall hearing him using it on that one before. Interesting how they make they effect work. That's one of the reasons why we live in a special time for rock music IMHO. Not only did the music evolve enormously, but also the way it was created and recorded. Artists played a big role in developing new sounds in Production.

    I still have the entire Garcia library ahead of me pretty much. Uncle Gary sent his original copy of the box set to me a few years ago (the one where the CD bookends make a picture of Garcia's face when they'relined up in order in the case). I pull that one out once in a while so it stays fresh and magical. Thanks UG, hope you're reading. S&R should arrive tomorrow. Check your email for tracking. Maybe it will show up today; I went priority mail and you ain't that far!

    Before we leave the subject, if we haven't already, I should also say that the recent King Crimson live albums may be worth your looking into. The ones I have are "Vienna 12/1/2016", Chicago 6/28/2016, Meltdown Live in Mexico-2017. All feature material from all eras, and the band - starring the three drummers is knockout.
    I haven't got "Auto Diary 2014-2018" but it looks great, and is a 5 cd set with live material from each of the years covering each one of the 5 cds.

    Looks like I should check Bill Frisell out-the only one I have with him on is "Going Back Home" credited to Ginger Baker, which I don't think I've played for about 10 years!

    Perhaps there wont be a box this year. Or they will make us wait until November.

    Frisell, Ginger, and You Guys

    So, with John Lennon & Miles Davis being deceased, this leaves Bill Frisell as my favorite living musician. He’s the ONLY guy I try to see EVERY TIME he is anywhere close to me. So, I am very biased towards him. The only thing I’ll say in his defense(because I don’t get the meh comment), is that you know it’s him within the first 3 seconds you hear. Talk about having a ‘tone’ or ‘sound’.
    I have 2 Ginger Baker cds w/Frisell in the band. As Dennis has found out, I’m not competent on digital anything, but I’d be happy to send 2 cd burn copies to a volunteer, who could distribute them digitally. Also, I would insist on including a copy of one of me favorite Frisell finds. A cd by Cuong Vu(played with Metheny)
    Which has Frisell all over it. It’s a Japanese cd i feel lucky to have found.
    Also, check YouTube!! There’s a killer live bit(maybe 45 minutes??) of the Baker/Frisell band live, and it is HOT!!
    If I were to guess, I’d say I have 60-70 Frisell discs, either as leader or band member, or guest. He’s done literally hundreds!!
    I am almost dumbfounded to see how many of us share similar likes and loves. Great minds think(and listen) alike. Keep it coming!!
    Oh yeah, and Dave’s 39 is getting REAL CLOSE!!

    Music is (still) the best!!

Early subscribers also get a copy of Brent’s studio album which was recorded by recording over the Fall 1980 reels.

Remember when early subscribers to the GD Movie DVD release got a piece of film from one of the film reels that went to theaters?

Early subscribers to the 2022 Brent studio outtakes Box will get a piece of the tape from the Fall 1980 reels that were forever ruined……

I don't want to miss this once in a lifetime offering.

They would be wise to follow-up with a mini holiday box of all the Little Stars ever played. The Bob Star Christmas Box with a Bob Star holiday ornament for the top of the tree. A good follow-up to the garden gnome theme. The ornament would be a high quality painted porcelain miniature replica of the 80's bobby from the short shorts up. A must have for the holidays.
