bobex14 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 I esspecially love Organissimo's cover of Frank Zappa's "Peaches in Regalia" The band adds their own style of funk, and each member just wraps their phrase right around the others. I for one would like to see a cover of a Phish tune. Jim could transform Page's licks into his own blend of Organissimo gold. The band could pull it off very well. I suggest "You enjoy myself," but thats just me. Bob Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Never thought about a Phish tune... that's an interesting idea. What is the best version of that song? What album is it on? Quote
bobex14 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Posted February 12, 2004 the best version is on the "Junta" cd. if for some reason you cant find it, i would be more than happy to burn a copy for you. keep it in mind. B) Bob Quote

7/4 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) So what other tunes do you folks cover? Last week you played Peaches & Tenderly (which are on the new CD) and another tune I wasn't familiar with. Just curious... Edited October 16, 2005 by 7/4 Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 We do a lot of "covers". A new one that we just added and debuted at Billy's this week is Jethro Tull's "Living In The Past". An apt tune for an organ trio in many ways. The one you didn't recognize from Kenny's was probably "Why Not?", a Houston Person tune that Don Patterson did on his album of the same name for Muse in the 70s. We also do "Dem New York Dues" by Patterson with regularity and "Little Shannon" (also a DP original) now and then. Last night we pulled out a lot of old tunes that we haven't done in ages for this wedding reception we played. "Little Green Men", "The Grinning Song", and "Whatever It Takes" by Larry Goldings, standards like "Days Of Wine & Roses" and "Here's That Rainy Day". "This Could Be The Start of Something New", "Naima", etc. Larry Young tunes like "Ritha", "Paris Eyes", and "Back Up". "Bright Sized Life" by Metheny, "Let The Cat Out" and "Big Top" by Scofield, "Full House", "Gino", "Cariba", "West Coast Blues" by Wes Montgomery, etc. We play a lot of stuff, but we've been focusing on our original materials lately since we've got over two albums worth now!

Like I wrote, just curious to see what you were doing. I just thinking about covers since I'm avoiding working on my own music by trying to play Jazz standards. (which is a way of avoiding the backed up work for the day job) Now I'm going through a Monk phase having bought the T. Monk Fake Book a few days ago. Ruby, My Dear....ahhh. Quote

7/4 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 Wouldn't mind hearing Bright Size Life myself. Quote
Joe G Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 It had been a while for BSL, and it was pretty rough. That's a deceptively difficult tune. Another time perhaps. Quote
.:.impossible Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Does Randy kick into Lonesome Dragon mode when y'all play BSL? I find Moses' drumming more interesting than most! Quote

I find Moses' drumming more interesting than most! ← I kick into a provocative and colorful mode when I play BSL. I really like playing tunes with that kind of straight eighth note feel.. Quote
7/4 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Oh really.... So a few years ago I walk into DownTown Music Gallery, when it was over on E5th (now it's across from CGBGs, around the corner from where the guys had the van parked last week). There's a rubber chicken leg tacked to the wall, so I asked if Buckethead was just here. The owner replies in a hushed voice...yes. True story. I wish I was there. A real High Fidelity moment. Quote

Another time perhaps. ← Back when I tried to play Jazz with other people, I played that tune. Unfortunately I can't remember if I had any problems with BSL. I think I had problems with all the tunes.
