The bass player on this track was a guy by the name of TM Stevens, who recently passed away. I think he's one of the baddest bass players ever, and his bass line on this killer disco jam totally smokes. RIP TM Stevens. Thank you for the GROOVE.

Billy Strings
I had heard the name, but I didn't know much about this kid until I heard about his performance at Willie Nelson's big birthday gig last year at The Bowl. But based on all of the talk about that, I checked him out and I'm glad I did.
This JAM(!) on Austin City Limits is freaking amazing:
I prefer jamming and great musicianship over whimpy singing and weak lyrics.
I have all the releases by Korai Orom, they have two drummers/percussionists, awesome guitar, bass and keyboards..
here is their entire second album:
Who/Ha who/ha who/ha indeed are so much better lyrics
To be serious, I listened to a bit of this and will listen to it all later. I still enjoy being introduced to something new--well, new to me. _________________ Hey Doge, ever hear of “measure twice, cut once?” It is not cut first and measure later.
(Ribeye) Glad someone likes this kinda stuff, here's a much newer and current group, their latest release was in 2022:
I finally listened to this during my walk. It really helped propel me at first, then allowed me to get lost in the very unique music by the end. There is no shortage of influences and instruments, from Eastern and African influences to just about all the instruments we are most familiar with, to bagpipes, the Aboriginal didjeridu (the wood tube/trumpet like instrument), to the oboe like shawn, the double reed eastern instrument--and of course I had to look up the names of the latter two. Finally, because of all these instruments and styles, and that nearly all of pop music today is so very formulaic, predictable, and reliant on sex appeal and dance choreography, this seems to belong to my generation of the 60's, which I consider to be from '63/4-'72/3. _________________ Hey Doge, ever hear of “measure twice, cut once?” It is not cut first and measure later.
Now, for what I call truly a jam, with simply a rock and blues influence, here is an early song from a most famous band, with a mesmerizing driving drum rhythm, with phenomenal guitar interplay between the great Peter Green and the guy he needed just to be able to do this, the very talented Danny Kirwan. (And no wimpy singing or weak lyrics)
I saw him twice live, he was an amazing guitarist...
QUOTE: "There is a story of a journalist asking Hendrix backstage what it’s like to be the greatest guitarist in the world, and Hendrix replying “I don’t know. Go ask Rory Gallagher.”
Here is a guy, I would be very surprised if anyone here has even ever heard of, a guitarist and keyboardist extrordinaire and released over 30 albums in his 50 years+ in music. He died recently but his work and vision live on...
Here is just one of his many jams, it's a long one, if you want to FF to his guitar-playing, go to the 7:00 minute mark...
Here is another long-time fav, more of a folk-rock this song, it came out in the 70's, but the video (made many years afterwards) seems to fit pretty well..
I just found this short and realized that John Mayall passed. I could start a thread or put it here. For the young'ens who say, who?, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers were a Brit blues band that featured some of the best guitarists ever: Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Jesse Ed Davis to name a few. He also featured Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Jack Bruce among a myriad of great musicians playing other instruments.

Something with a little chicka chicka. Room to Move John Mayall with Jon Mark and John Almond, later of the Mark Almond Band. In a classic live set from 1970.

Listening to this now, I'm digging it, love em some old 60's-style blues jams. Love Peter Green too, I had his solo album, years ago and have one old Fleetwood Mac CD (Then Play On). I even saw them back before they became a "pop" band...
If you like them, I'm pretty sure you have heard the best QMS album, which has a bunch of long dual-guitar led jams. One of my all-time favs:
I am reasonably sure, music will never repeat the quality of rock/blues guitarists that exploded on the scene in the 60's and flowed forth into the 70's!
People/bands like:
Hendrix
Clapton
Page
Beck
Hendrix
Tony TS McPhee
Rory Gallagher
Robin Trower
John Cipollina (QMS)
Gary Duncan (QMS)
Peter Green
Roy Buchanan
Kim Simmons (Savoy Brown)
Alvin Lee (Ten Years After)
Dave Peverett (Foghat & ex-Savoy Brown)
Paul Kossoff (Free)
Johnny Winter

Yep. Much wear on the vinyl. Much--very rice kripsied. Right up at the very top of my loves of any LP, and when during How Do You Love, Cip kicks back in, guitar doesn't get much better. My understanding this is a sorta live LP with some studio fixes to the live stuff. They may have been this good live, but never when I saw them. Their first album is right up there as well.
Also, I seem to be one of the few who liked all incarnations of Fleetwood Mac. They became a damn good pop band, but they could still rock.
*A tidbit about side one, the Who Do Love suite: The song/suite is broken up into six "songs", as someone knew how powerful ($$$) publishing rights are for the song writer(s), or Elias McDaniel's (aka Bo Diddley) family would be entitled to a greater share if only published as Who Do You Love. _________________ Hey Doge, ever hear of “measure twice, cut once?” It is not cut first and measure later.
