Here's The New Stuff

  Okay it's been a while since I did one of these things so I guess this is the latest news from The New JDP.

First on our minds is the loss of Jazz Keyboard & Piano Legend Chick Corea. We lost Chick on February 9, 2021 at the age of 79 to cancer. As you all know Chick is one of my all time favorite Jazz keyboardists, along with Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock. In tribute to Chick we have a FM recording with Jazz Fusion Greats Return To Forever from 1975. It's only 3 songs but a little over an hour of music from the Classic line-up with Chick, Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke & Lenny White.

We round out our Jazz uploads this week with shows from site favorite saxophonist Joe Lovano from 2019 and The Modern Jazz Quartet from 1966

We have some rare recordings for you again this time around. We are glad to announce we are one of the first blogs to feature a newly surfaced soundboard recording from the Funk Band War. This 1986 soundboard from Rockefeller's included both the early & late shows for over 3 hours of great music.

Another rarity we have for you is another set of BBC Recordings from a not so well known British Rock Band, The Keef Hartley Band. The Keef Hartley Band, like Toe Fat (who's BBC Tapes we brought you last posting) is known more for having future Uriah Heep bassist Gary Thain in their ranks.

We end Rosebud's Tribute To Her Favorite Singers with the second in our new series The Roots Of Heavy Metal And Hard Rock and the next in a line of out of print live albums, Motorhead's King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents. It's out of print and considered by Lemmy to be an unofficial release.

As I said the Motorhead is 2nd in our series The Roots Of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. The first was the post from Heavy Blues Rockers Toe Fat. This series will really feature some of the early influences on the development of early Hard Rock & Heavy Metal to the seeds of the modern variants. Posts will included Blues Master Elmore James, Heavy Blues Rockers like The Jeff Beck Group, The Animals & Cream. Hard Rock from Golden Earing, Aerosmith, and Deep Purple. As well as the Punk Rock bands that inspired the Underground Metal scenes of the 1980s. as well as New Wave Of British Heavy Metal Bands to Thrash and beyond.

Our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands continues with a soundboard recording from early in British Prog Band National Health's career. Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Genesis) is still a member at this point.

We also have a show from recently lost Punk Rock influence Sylvain Sylvain of The New York Dolls. He passed away January 13, 2021 at the age of 69 from cancer.

That's what we have for you new this time. Things are starting to settle down a little bit here so I hope to get back to a more regular schedule for postings.

As Always Thank You For Visiting With Us!!
