    The always innovative Nairobi Trio. Their onstage costumes, and props, were always ahead of the times.

    It’s a Sunday afternoon in October and you’re in a small, cozy cafe, in the most famous city in the world. Outside it’s cool and windy, the sun shining brightly then instantly disappearing behind dark clouds as they pass.

    You have a book, or are with a friend. You sip your coffee and this begins to play…

    My main goal when starting this thread was to highlight lesser known musicians and their music whose quality always exceeded their relative popularity.

    To this end I have posted a variety of musical styles that, regardless of the era they come from, represent some of the best from that time.

    Here is another band that never had the recognition they deserved. Their lead singer on these recordings, James Dewar, had a unique, soulful voice.

    I could have posted many more great examples of their sound. Research their music.

    The great Robin Trower.

    This is very special in a thread containing a lot of incredible music.

    Gene Harris was a great jazz pianist. He had a certain style…but, we’ll start with this first.

    Stay with me.


    This is a live performance and an elegant swinging version of a great tune.

    Meditation

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=llM7Rx7Mtbk


    This selection shows his fantastic, wry, personal style – a hard-driving, down-home, foot-stompin’ beat. It says, here I come – get outta the way. Incredible sounds.

    A Little Blues There

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=RXIrQPVehNI


    Now watch him play the same selection. I am repeating it to show his playfulness and enthusiasm and to provide a sense of the man’s talent.

    A Little Blues There (first half)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=bwXkS7lht7I

    4/30/13

    Here is the rest.

    A Little Blues There

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=-3cCYawpZp8


    This song starts slowly and you relax enjoying the beautiful sounds. Then he begins to add flavors of what is to come; dollops of gospel, boogie-woogie, blues, and, finally, a big batch of high-octane energy mixes it all together. In the hands (literally) of this brilliant pianist you can experience bliss.

    You Don’t Know Me

    https://youtu.be/6XaIMnemDAs


    There’s only one comment necessary about this next selection; beautiful.

    My Foolish Heart

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=mnlK0bmb3lo


    And, as we are approaching winter, I thought a look back would be nice.

    Here is Gene Harris adding his trademarked riffs to this lovely song. It’s a great performance, affecting for me because of the wonderful arrangement and passionate performance, and, because of what I have learned about him as a person. As a result, this is another (thread) song I can’t stop listening to. Watch/Listen to it. Or else!

    Summertime (12/18/13 changed vid - same brilliant arrangement)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...IJDZk9JHx0Gene

    Harris died in 2000.

    I’ve read what many said about him. My sense is that he was a genuinely nice man. His death is a big loss for music and for the world.

    3/28/14

    Just listen...and let this envelop you. Beautiful.

    The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Liszt is a beautiful piece.

    I found two artists who tried to do justice to the music, but, sorry to say, their efforts fell somewhat short as both had distractions.

    Decided to post them anyway but it might be painful to watch.


    Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (4/28/19 repaired link again) I may have finally found something that won't be deleted. I laughed a lot.

    The appropriate and necessary OWS actions remind me of an earlier time when many also did not let major injustice, inequality and illegality proceed unopposed.

    There were a lot of great bands around that time.

    It’s time to refresh our memories.

    The Youngbloods

    Harmony smooth as glass. And lyrics that ...

    Get Together

    https://youtu.be/s_dCc4zxBRQ


    This is a pretty, quirky song

    Ride The Wind

    https://youtu.be/JIVs7L0qAaw

    Jesse Colin Young is essentially a folk singer and was a member of the Youngbloods.

    This is a song about choice; a jazzy, uptempo song that is infectious. Don't miss this! Pay attention to the lyrics.

    Ridgetop (6/8/22 link repaired)

    https://youtu.be/76yctdQST5E


    A slightly different, uptempo, and longer version of Ridgetop.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KorCm...yer_detailpage


    And then there is this...a song that also fits the comment I made above; pretty and quirky. A love song. Don't miss this either.

    Sunlight (10/9/14 link repaired)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=MKHr_MPgZZs


    Now, one for fun. A song that makes me smile every time I hear it.

    This looks to me like the perfect relationship. No need for counseling...ever.

    Great sounds and lyrics, too.

    More exceptional songs from great bands of the past that focused on societal problems or that were popular around that period. The best of the best.

    I sincerely feel that every song here is exceptional. Don't miss ANY of them. They're all great!


    The great Dave Mason was one of the original members of Traffic. Here are two of his great songs. (Watchtower by him on pg 17)

    Look At You, Look At Me

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSfAY...yer_detailpage


    Only You Know And I Know

    A great sound from,

    and,

    Bluebird

    https://youtu.be/Zt83arWRx-M


    What About Me

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=zBvjXhUSUpU


    This band is great - no, more than great; the arrangements, the voices, and the strings create a special sound.

    It’s A Beautiful Day

    White Bird (1/25/16 Another necessary replacement version (fortunately live) due to deletion...but Pattie Santos eases the pain...sad she's gone.

    https://youtu.be/nVmyRmvQo9s


    (11/14)

    A song with strange lyrics; caused no end of speculation. But very good.

    Traffic

    Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udyNr...yer_detailpage


    (11/17)

    Another original member of Traffic. A song with a message.

    Jim Capaldi

    Livin On The Edge

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPR1U...yer_detailpage


    (12/5)

    A very, very beautiful song. With meaningful lyrics, too. The kind I like.

    Three Dog Night

    Easy To Be Hard (4/30/19 link repaired)

    https://youtu.be/jBC_LJCSVC4


    6/6/14

    Something a bit more recent. An important song about exploitation that is more important now than ever. A 2016 aside: spoke to an Aussie on the interwebs and mentioned this group. He said the singer is now a politician and is his rep.

    Midnight Oil

    Blue Sky Mine

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Ofrqm6-LCqs
