@vurnt22 Only got to see him live once (at MSG) on the But Seriously tour, incredible show and band, impeccable showman. And his drumming was great, would have loved to see him in Brand X in person.

@Mikehomeseller Rick Danko another often overlooked as a bassist. Fantastic vocalist too.

@Mikehomeseller Jeff Ament makes Pearl Jam work, but doesn’t seem to get mentioned often.

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@Mikehomeseller Jerry Marotta, his work with Peter Gabriel was groundbreaking. Playing with early samples, sequences, and removing all his cymbals doesn’t get the recognition it warrants.

This evening’s current listening, the remarkable: Jack DeJohnette New Directions - In Europe https://t.co/OqsPTUw8mr

@nycjazzrecord @sonnyrollins @LincolnCenter Nice edit of the branding of the time 😉 All best to a legend, of course

@vurnt22 @rockhall When is the last time you played “J B G” with LC? Enjoyed the versions I’ve heard.

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@vurnt22 First heard/saw Guy live with Dave Douglas and was astonished by what he could do with an accordion, never heard it played like that.

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@vurnt22 Saw several great shows when I lived down there, terrific venue!

@vurnt22 Off the beaten path, but Tchad Blake’s aural work on From the Caves of the Iron Mountain gets me every time:

@historyrock_ This one convinced me: https://t.co/343BIhFfxh

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@vurnt22 Yes, agreed, thanks for the thoughts. I always thought the rest of the band didn’t get enough credit, some really creative playing and combinations of styles.

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@vurnt22 Curious where you stand on The Door’s music, they seem to be very polarizing. They were my opening to more non-conformist music that led to me to do much more

@copelandmusic Wow, you plus Red Baraat? Amazing! One of the best live bands around, so much positive energy!

[Sean Fitzell @spfitzell]

@vurnt22 Love Missing Persons! Another for the list, Solsbury Hill

Really sad to hear this news. I enjoyed my conversations with Herb for this article and others, he was always generous with his time, insights & music. A tremendously creative player.

[NYC Jazz Record @nycjazzrecord]

RIP Trumpeter Herb Robertson (Feb. 21st, 1951 - Dec. 10th, 2024) who died age 73. His activity since early '80s w/@screwgub Mark Helias, Joe Fonda/Michael Jefry Stevens Grp, dozen+ albums as leader/co-leader revealed Robertson to be one-of-a-kind. See March '09 TNYCJR feature...

@vurnt22 I just came across a clip of you playing “Manic Depression” with Jack Bruce & Terry Bozzio, early-mid 90s, wild stuff.
