The first rap artist in music world wide, who began his career as a composer of music to B-cowboy films. Self made all the way on the guitar as well. One of the first jazz/rock bands under his supervision The Mothers Of Invention, later on only The Mothers. An anarchist to the system. Lyrics always small stories about society and the "slime", often very funny and a stage performance with no comparison to ordinary jazz or rock bands. You may not consider FRANK ZAPPA a jazz musician, however he did surround himself with some of the best jazz and rock musicians:

The album for this morning in jazz/rock - Overnite´ Sensation from 1973 by FRANK ZAPPA (electric guitar, lead vocals).

========

Jean-Luc Ponty (electric violin, also with Mahavishnu Orchestra), George Duke (keyboards, synthezisers also with Miles Davis), Bruce Fowler (trombone), Sal Marques (trumpet, vocals also with Santana), Ian Underwood (flute, tenor and alto saxophone, clarinet), Ruth Underwood (marimba, percussion), Tom Fowler (el. bass, vocals also with It´s A Beautiful Day) and Ralph Humprey (drums).

I have known of the american John Abercrombie (guitars, el. mandolin) since he performed in a duo with Ralph Towner on the album Sagasso Sea from the early 1970´s on ECM Records.

On the album "Night", ECM Records 1984 he records with Mike Brecker (tenor saxophone), Jam Hammer (piano, organ) and Jack DeJohnette (drums).

Awesome album. I am always reminded of why Jack DeJohnette has been on the top five poll on drummers throughout 40 years in jazz. His cymbals work has no comparison, except mayby towards the late Tony Williams from the Miles Davis Quintet, who was the idol in drumming of Jack DeJohnette.

Abercrombie and DeJohnette have performed and recorded on numerous albums with the ECM Records. They both enjoy the improvisations.

"Farewell", ECM Records 1993, by John Abercrombie (guitars), Andy LaVerne (piano), George Mraz (double bass) and Adam Nussbaum (drums)

Kevin Eubanks (acoustic/electric guitars) on his album "Spirit Talk", Capitol Records 1993 with his brother Robin Eubanks (trombone), Kent Jordan (flutes), Dave Holland (double bass), Mark Mondesir or Marvin "Smitty" Smith (drums). The song this morning of jazz is "Union" from the album, a duo between Kevin (acoustic guitar) and Robin Eubanks (trombone) and some drumming in the end.

Kevin Eubanks an awesome guitarist especially on the acoustic guitar IMHO, known for his years long participation on albums by Dave Holand for instance "Extensions", ECM Records 1990.

Joey DeFrancesco - Incredible!

Mat buddy

How´s the "bisquit" working these days? :grin::grin: I hope you´re doing good :tiphat::clap::banana::lol::lol: Unfortunately, talking about how old you were, I found myself into a discussion about Abraham from the Old Testamente, more specificly how old a man can be and still "working" without Viagra.

But between 12 - 86 is still you age :tiphat::clap::banana::lol::lol: as far as I am concerned, buddy.

Dear Intet,

Are you still "obsessing" about the virility of 100+ year old men who don't need Viagra or Cialis??? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Honestly, you slay me :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Forgive me Intet - My gal and I just had our best laugh this week after reading your post. Your humour is of Victor Borge vintage and dimension and we LOVE it.

Cheers,

CD :):):):):):):)

Please dear sir, would I be wrong if I thought you were somewhat very fond of or obsessed with Jean-Luc Ponty??? :lol::lol::lol::lol::banana::banana::banana::banana::tiphat::tiphat::tiphat::tiphat::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Please dear sir, explain the expression "You slay me". Does it have the same meaning as - the George C. Custer slain of the north american indian tribes at Wounded Knee???

My Dearest Intet,

In regards to Jean-Luc Ponty - no, I'm not obsessed with his music - just an ardent fan of his music. He in no way replaces my clamouring for the artistry of Keith Jarrett.

When someone says you "slay" them it usually means that they are overwhelmed with laughter ergo, laughing themselves silly and senseless.

You have then really tickled their funnybone.

Cheers,

CD :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

On topic:

The band OREGON originated by Ralph Towner (classical guitar and 12 string acoustic guitar, piano, synthezisers), Paul McCandless (oboe, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone and english horn) Glen Moore (double bass) and Mark Walker (drums, percussion). Mark Walker, who replaced the late Colin Walcott (zitar, tabla, percussion), who died in a traffic accident in Germany i the early 1990´s during concerts in Europe.

Oregon, four guys educated in classical music from the state of Oregon, USA who have implemented jazz along with classical music theory and compositions in the band. OREGON has been known to the jazz world for more than 30 years.

On the double CD album "Oregon In Moscow", Intuition Records 2000 the band performs in Russia with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow.

Crossover music, at it´s best.
