Playlist

Recorded

Banned Rehearsal 779 (August 2010 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Neal Meyer)

The genius of Banned Rehearsal, when it is working, is not geared toward brilliant performance, but consists in a focusing in upon specificities of sound. This session begins with a transparent 'combo' vibe with drums, cornet, piano, and tub bass, then transforms itself into a study of the texture of drumheads, bells, and cymbals.

Moss and Bark - Hoh Valley, Olympic National Park
Praeludium, Courante, Fuga and Presto in D minor - Sylvius Leopold Weiss - Lutz Kirchhof

If J. K. Randall is a self-proclaimed pitch freak, then S. L. Weiss must be a figuration-pattern freak. In this I recognize, aspirationally, a kindred spirit.

La Belle Excentrique - Satie - Ensemble "die Reihe", Friedrich Cerha

Big brother of Looney Tunes.

Stranger in Town - Del Shannon [collected from Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul]
Del Shannon

Step to one side and it's The Beatles, to the other and it's Queen, with extra reverb.

The Tracks of My Tears - The Miracles [collected from Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul]

I wonder if the harsh engineering was designed with the presumed sub-standard listening devices of the target audience in mind, rather than those of the hi-fi crowd.

Ticket to Ride - The Beatles [collected from Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul]
Uptight (Everything's Alright) - Stevie Wonder [collected from Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul]
Wooly Bully - Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs [collected from Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul]

In Session at The Tintinabulary

Gradus 219 - Neal Meyer

It had been a while since Neal came over and played A's, so he played lots of them and strongly.
