What can I say about The Legendary Herbie Hancock that I haven't said already. For that matter the same goes for Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland. There are 17 Herbie Hancock related shows on the site (here), 10 Wayne Shorter related shows (here), and a staggering 21 Dave Holland related shows (here). So I am going to concentrate my comments on the awe inspiring performance on the drums by Brian Blade. Brian Blade has recorded/performed with more Jazz artists than I want to name here but Chick Corea, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldah & Daniel Lanois have all used Brian for drums. Brian is the perfect anchor for the wandering improvisation that Herbie, Wayne & Dave want to present here. The man can go from powerhouse to soft inflections on a dime. The intricacies are superbly accented & supported by Brian's playing. This is another show from the quartets Forensic Music Tour. If you want more the 1st one posted on the site can be found (here).

I love that Jean-Luc Ponty's music was deemed Rock & Roll enough to be on The King Biscuit Flower Hour. It's a short set, barely over 30 minutes, and Jean-Luc's performance makes it go by way too quick. In  other words he leaves you wanting so much more. Fans of Jean-Luc Ponty would be very wrong to let this one slip by without downloading it.

This is a Request from our friend Andy, so hear you are my friend! This great show from Whitesnake comes from when the band was still quite young. The set actually still has 2 MKIII Deep Purple tracks in it. "Might Just Take Your Life" wont last too many tours but "Mistreated" still pops up in Whitesnake setlists. Anyway after 2 solo albums David Coverdale
formed Whitesnake. At first the band was billed David Coverdale's Whitesnake but Dave stressed it was a band not a backing band. The band would release 5 Heavy Blues inflected Hard Rock albums. In 1984 there came a change in the music. The Blues inflected Hard Rock evolved into a Commercial Heavy Metal sound. This happened with the Slide It In album. Actually it came with the American version of the album. The album was not only remixed to have a heavier sound but parts were actually re-recorded. Guitar and bass parts were re-recorded by John Sykes and Neil Murray respectively. Both are great players and have recorded some awesome music but the change hurt a lot of original core fans. The bands transformation to a full on Los Angeles Hair Metal sound was completed by the 1987 self titled album. The fans Whitesnake lost were replaced by new ones, Coverdale's gamble paid off. The 25th Anniversary Version of Slide It In contains 8 of the original UK mixes (got it), the 35th Anniversary version includes them all (have to have it).

Draftervoi's Notes:

Tracks from the Greg Kihn Band's 1981 Country Club show were broadcast at least twice by Westwood One. Westwood One In Concert 81-10 with the Greg Kihn Band is sourced from the same concert at Wolf and Rissmiller's Country Club. Five songs are duplicated on both shows, but 81-10 has seven unique songs, and 82-12 has four unique songs.

The set list for 81-10 is:
Rendezvous (repeated on 82-12)
Womankind
Valerie
Trouble In Paradise (repeated on 82-12)
The Girl Most Likely
Sheila
Higher and Higher (repeated on 82-12)
The Break Up Song (repeated on 82-12)
Can't Stop Hurting Myself (repeated on 82-12)
For Your Love
Around and Around
Things To Come (repeated on 82-12)
Roadrunner

Billboard Magazine of Sept. 19, 1981 mentions that the August 28, 1981 Kihn show at the Country Club was filmed for MTV. There is a YouTube video of When The Music Starts that matches this WW1 performance.

justdave's notes:
Just one of the many Pre-FM recordings encoded by Draftervoi that Rosebud and I have in our archives. I decided that we have way too many of them just sitting there on hard drives doing nothing. So for the next month or so we will be including a Pre-FM show in every upload. These are all prime encodings of some great shows so that means you are in for a lot of good stuff starting here with The Greg Kihn Band and Southern Rockers Point Blank....Yeah That's Right A Point Blank Pre-FM ... Ever think you would see that ... Well we have Draftervoi to thank for it. He gets in bidding wars for Pre-FM vinyl and CD sets then carefully encodes them. The vinyl ones he meticulously de-clicks them in Audacity 1 click at a time. So download and sit back and listen to some great music

Today's post in our Salute To Progressive Rock Bands is by Focus. The Dutch Progressive Rockers are known by most New JDP readers, we have featured them before. Their Jazz/Hard Rock mostly instrumental brand of Progressive Rock is a favorite of mine. I love this show in particular because it consists of just one song, a almost 50 minute version of "Eruption" off of Focus II or Moving Waves as it was called in The U.S.A. It was my first Focus album purchase, of course bought for "Hocus Pocus" which was the only song I ever heard from Focus on American Radio. I soon however, began spinning side 2 of that album over and over again. The single track on side 2 was "Eruption" and I loved to get stoned and listen to it, like "Echoes" on Pink Floyd's Meddle.

Another post for our Origins Of Hard  Rock/Heavy Metal series.

This is a huge collection of session outtakes from The Immortal Elmore James. Elmore James was known as The King Of Slide Guitar and was actually inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1992 for his influence on Rock And Roll.

The Blues was a huge influence on the early Heavy Blues/Hard Rock acts such as The Yardbirds, The Jeff Beck Group, Free and Foghat. The Blues was also a big influence on the development of Heavy Metal. Black Sabbath's 1st album marries Blue and Jazz then breaks it down to the riff. Judas Priest started out as a Heavy Blues band. When K.K. Downing auditioned for the original line-up of Priest, he was passed over because he was too Heavy Metal. Blues can still be heard in Judas Priest's music, just not as blatant as Sabbath. Vanilla Fudge played it the same way, taking songs down to the riff then delivering them with all the emotional power of the Blues. Van Halen might have covered "Dancing In The Streets" but Vanilla Fudge's "You Keep Me Hanging On" & Beck, Bogat & Appice's "Superstition" are tied for the best Heavy Metal cover of a Motown tune. Thrash Metal Titans Metallica even broke down into a Bluesy solo on "Orion".

Elmore James passed away from a heat attack May 24, 1963, he was 45.

This is a huge collection so the Flac has been uploaded each CD separately. The MP3 has been uploaded in 3 sets of 2 CDs. All unzip separately.

Weather Report has had a few  people flow through their line up but this is one of my favorites. The band has Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius and Joe Zawinul for one. They also have the some what lesser known Alex Acuna and Manolo Badrena, who have played with more people than I could list. So much talent involved and they live up to it. I never caught Weather Report in concert so have a recording from a Michigan show was extra special.

Joe Zawinul passed away September 11, 2007 from a rare skin cancer, he was 75.

Jaco Pastorius passed away at age 35 September 21, 1987 due to injuries from a bar fight.

Here we go another great performance by the band War. I promised our friend Jackson there would be another War show soon, so here you are Jackson! If you liked the last War upload you're going to love this one. This FM recording has more depth than the last soundboard recording. There is definitely more of a balance to the instruments and vocals. The only bummer about this recording is that "Lowrider" wasn't broadcast. The original uploader notes say War had a run of 3 nights at The Wetlands Preserve with 2 shows per night. This is the final nights late show and it kicks ass. As we all know War boots are rare so I would highly recommend downloading this recording!

Yet another post in my Salute To Progressive Rock Bands. The purpose of this salute is not only to post shows from the bigger names in Prog like Genesis or Yes but also lesser known bands. Some of the bands I choose may considered by purists to not be true Progressive Rock bands. I actually couldn't care for purists with restrictive minds on what is or isn't a certain form of music. Progressive Music expands the boundaries and pushes the scope of music further. So here we have another boundary expanding band called Public Service Broadcasting from London, England. Public Service Broadcasting use an array of instruments to make their particular brand of Progressive Music. Electroncs, samples, conventional instruments (such as drums, bass, guitar etc), and not so conventional (banjo, flugelhorn etc). They also use audio clips from public service films, propaganda films, etc. This performance also includes a horn section. If you liked Ozric Tentacles you might like Public Service Broadcasting

justdave's notes:
After I ripped the waves I only used Goldwave to adjust a couple track marks. No noise reduction, EQing, re-mixing or re-mastering was done.

As someone who didn't know too much about Days Of The New, I had to search a little for the info on this show. The person who supplied me with the disc only wrote the name of the band and FM on the disc. The date given was MA-07.18.98, which was how the songs were tagged on the CD. The set list and location information comes from www.setlist.fm. The line-up information comes from wikipedia.

Not sure why I haven't posted this on the blog yet. I actually thought I had, surprised it hasn't shown up on any blogs yet either since I posted it at the Trader's Den a while ago. I received this with a bunch of CDs and CD-rs from our friend Randy. Randy sent quite a few shows FMs & Pre-FMs that are already on the blog. This is a great sounding recording and you don't see a lot of Days Of The New boots either.

This line-up only release one album, they broke up after the tour for that album. Todd Whitener, Jesse Vest and Matt Taul went on to form Tantric. Travis Meeks formed another line-up of Days Of The New releasing 2 more studio albums. The band's line-up was very fluid after the initial break up. The former band member list is only eclipsed by Parliament/Funkadelic.

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!!

Thomas "Papa Dee" Allen died from an on stage brain aneurysm in 1988

Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan is the only original member left in War. The band lost the rights to the name War in a 1990's court decision to their manager. Original members Howard E. Scott, Lee Oskar, Harold Brown and B.B. Dickerson now tour under the name The Lowrider Band.

This great War show just surfaced at The Traders Den on February 1, 2021 when it was shared by good1. I haven't seen it on any blogs yet. The recording while very listenable is not without some flaws. Like all soundboards I have heard from Rockefeller's in Dallas Texas the vocals are very high in the mix while the instruments for the most part are lower in the mix. This is probably to do with the size of the venue. At smaller clubs things like drums, bass and electric guitar can be heard fine being low in the mix due to their loud nature. Vocals usually run louder than these instruments in a small club so that they may be heard over the much louder instruments. This is still a great show and a nice 3 hour listen!

Another band who is more known for the fact that a future member of Uriah Heep came from their ranks. The band is more of a Hard Rocking Blood, Sweat & Tears than an early Hard Rock group like Toe Fat. I think all lovers of the 1970's Jazz Rock & R & B bands will like The Keef Harley Band.

This is our first ever Jazz On Sunday post picked by Rosebud. Rosebud usually picks Heavy Metal or Hard Rock bands with the occasional off pick here or there. She's usually note much of a Jazz fan. When I was previewing this recording for posting Rosebud spoke up saying "I really like this one, they've played some pretty melodies. This is the kind of Jazz I like, not the kind that sounds like nobody on stage is playing the same song (lmao). She then said that I should post this one on the site. I told her that was a great idea, I hadn't thought of that.
