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. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
(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. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
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..
