DooDiligence Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 This is just a short clip to introduce Johnny Costa along with Fred Rogers. I'd never heard of Costa before, and was unaware of his role as the music director on Mr Rogers Neighborhood. I love the way he didn't dumb down the music for children, and instead just launched right into their ears with complex harmonies and melodies. His dynamic control is incomparable. He was right up there with the great Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum, in terms of virtuosity and originality. This short clip introduced me to a whole new catalog of great jazz piano.

It’s an awesome story, with really great footage and of course incredible music. This documentary by lauded German filmmaker Wim Wenders follows renowned guitarist Ry Cooder and his son, Joachim, as they travel to Cuba and assemble a group of the country's finest musicians to record an album. Among the artists included in the project are singer Ibrahim Ferrer and pianist Rubén González, who are both interviewed and featured in studio footage. Eventually the ensemble travels to the United States to perform in front of rapt audiences. Edited January 11 by Buckeye

Parsad Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Had no idea this stuff was so far along in availability. I'm not sure I can listen to the Eagles original version after this: Cheers!
Parsad Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Geez, I can't stop listening to this stuff. Here's another beauty! Cheers!

This version of the song got so popular that Drake's record sued the video out of existence, but smaller accounts have been constantly re-uploading.

gfp Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Nobody here is likely to enjoy the type of music I listen to but this vinyl record from 2017 is getting a lot of play around the house and the cover of the record is also beautiful to look at. Difficult record to buy in the USA. Mostly available in France. Must listen to the entire record, not just an intro @DooDiligence homework assignment https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nhYlgHwEejP-oswnmfGf0ZD0sxt7stw_U

Masterofnone Posted February 5 Posted February 5 To keep the weird side going, from GFP's back yard, one of the most danceable albums ever:

Bonus points for the value bros that can pronounce Tchoupitoulas. I've been running between the office and the shop to build this stupid mardi gras ladder bench for the Canadians that are coming to stay with us for Carnival. So much for boycotting the USA! Who brings 3 kids to the mardi gras!?? Yikes
Longnose Posted February 5 Posted February 5 New ren. clipped to my favorite part. As his things are a bit more story telling via music/rap than just straight songs.
