…but does this also work with jazz music?

Larry Adler again with a wonderful rendition of Gershwin’s masterpiece Rhapsody in Blue:

The Harmonica rocks, no question, as this British/French co-production impressively proves…
-
Actually, the following song could also be called the Harmonicaman 😃.
What are your favorite pieces with a harmonica, what special memories do you associate with this instrument?

Hi Daryl,
looks impressive. What is your favorite race track? Have you ever raced on tracks outside of Canada and the US?
It’s amazing how the technology in this area has developed. There is a nice 5 part series on the evolution of motorcycle racing (the first part is shown below). My father and his older brother owned a NSU, respectively Zündapp.

Yes Jung, the song clearly bears George’s musical signature.
Speaking of Photographer and Musicians: Why not visit a virtual exhibition together? Even if the members of the MLT Club are scattered all over the world, we can meet at least once in a virtual place and say: I was there too.
60 years ago, the young graphics student Klaus Voormann met the Beatles in the Kaiserkeller on Hamburg’s Reeperbahn. It was to be the beginning of an unprecedented career – as a graphic designer and as a musician. The rest is well known history.
In his honor there was a small exhibition in Lüneburg that dealt with his life’s work as an artist and photographer (I hope the virtual tour works)

Hi Jung,
I also had such a funny colorful banana harmonica. Mine was squeaky green, well. But that didn’t make me play any better. I think it’s interesting how the harmonica has established itself as an instrument in rock and blues music. Originally it was used in folk music in our country. I think you can play just about anything on the harmonica if you have enough imagination and musical talent, like the Harmonicats that you presented or like these Austrian musicians (no, no not our favorite twins 😃 )
Sorry Jung, translation error. Your parents played the album a lot, not the harmonica. I got that wrong now. sorry for that.

Wow David, I had no idea that Judith Durham not only had a great voice but was such a gifted pianist. Thanks.
-
The Corky Siegels Chamber Blues is awesome. I like the idea of combining these instruments in this way.
-
Thanks Dave,
I’ve never heard „Night Owl Blues” before. The album title „Do you believe in magic“ says it all. Great piece.
-
Mhm, are you talking about me or the Pink Floyd song? 🤔 The song rocks, great intro. 😀 Thanks, any other recommendations?

Thank you for your brief recession of „Atomic Heart Mother“, JP. Definitely more advertising than the cow 😃. You got me interested again by mentioning „Meddle“. I’ve researched it by myself now. The A-side is supposed to contain more melodic songs and the B-side more experimental, like e.g. „Echoes“. I enjoyed this song. What do you like about the album?
I didn’t really know much about Pink Floyd for many years. I guess I just heard the wrong songs for a long time. „The Wall“, certainly a masterpiece, was hugely hyped in the 80’s. The song of the same name was played so often in the radio stations that I didn’t want to hear this for a long time (and to rip the song simply out of the album as a single didn’t make any sense). The other albums fell into oblivion. I think Pink Floyd produced a kind of music that you can’t even listen to on the fly, but for which you have to take some time.
I find it interesting how music evolved through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. The songs in the early 60s were wonderful appetizers. Small sweet cookies. A nice melody, a great guitar solo and interesting voices. In the 70s the music got bombastic. Playful, experimental and overflowing. Almost like a big juicy pie plate with no precise beginning and sometimes no discernible end. The music of the 80s then followed the pattern of the 60s: shorter songs, catchy rhythm and vocals, but lots of synth music and drum computer sounds. Colorful space cookies. At least in the mainstream area. Ouroboros bites his own tail again.
PS: Pink Floyd is actually worth its own topic. How about? I’m in.

Hi JP,
how do you like the music of the album “Atom Hearts Mother“ compared with the other Pink Floyd albums? Is the LP recommended? I don’t know exactly how many times I held this LP in my hands as a teenager and wondered what the music might sound like. A question that remains unanswered for me to this day.
The British graphics agency Hipgnosis, who are responsible for the design of this cover, called this a non-cover: „it’s not a cover, it doesn’t exist as a cover because it doesn’t represent the band, it doesn’t show any record titles or band names, nor has anything to do with the music. It’s just an idea. And when you walked into those huge record stores back then, of course, a picture of a cow across from all the covers with band photos on them caught your eye.“
This non-cover also caught my attention. But I still didn’t buy it. The chains of associations went in the wrong direction for me: the cow always reminded me of my vacations on the farm, which I loved as a child. Cows, farm and Bavarian brass music. No, not a selling point. 😀

Hi JP,
thank you for thinking of me. Maybe you should mow the lawn more often and see what treasures your phone still has in store for you. 😀 I bought the Animals album after we were talking about it the other day, I was too curious. My Pink Floyd collection now includes „The Piper at the Gates of Dawn“ (my very first Pink Floyd album), „The Wall“ (of course…), „Animals“, „The Dark Side of the Moon“ and “The Endless River”. Not much, but at least a beginning. Thanks for sending the Coverversion of the song Dogs by the Band „Out of phase“. I like the cover version of Dogs a lot. As you said, a little more electronic and much more ambiente music. The guitar part sounds at some parts a little softer and not quite as distorted as in the original, in other places the guitar is then very reminiscent of the original again and runs like a thread through the entire piece. The female voice and the drumming part give the song some additional charm. All in all an interesting and beautiful cover version

“Music is one of the great things uniting all of us”, I totally agree with you Chris.
