TOTO - Music Break (Fabulous DazzJazz From RadioDAZZ)

Two absolute masterpieces from mid-late seventies virtuoso (former) session band ToTo, with guitar maestro Steve Lukather and the famous Porcaro Brothers. The first performance was filmed and recorded in 1990 (!) in Canada -- it's the best version of the slickly discordant, dark and mysterious "Georgy Porgy" (Uncle DAZZ's favorite Toto selection) I've ever heard. The band was incredibly tight, yet disciplined in their dynamics. Electricity, from sparks to full-out lightning was flying off of the stage. Jazz in its own genre.

The second performance is a terrific vintage live version of Toto (in the 1970s) playing their amazing 12/4 (a crazy, dizzying metre, with a pushing, rushing, forceful triplet feel) version of "Hold The Line." The right hand arm of the keyboard player must be as strong as steel [Uncle DAZZ would get carpal tunnel syndrome after two verses and the first refrain], with that steady, raining 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3....

These are two of those rare cases where the videos are as exciting as the music. See if you feel the same.

Click, sit back and enjoy. No extra charge for the goosebumps or the acceleration of your heart's beating!

"Smack Dab In The Middle" - Ry Cooder: His Own Amazing Style

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

Ry Cooder, like Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan, has his own brand of genre. You might've heard his version of "Little Sister," and it gives Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley and all of the other better-known artists a spanking.

The man (Ry Cooder, of Ry Cooder And The Chickenskin Band plays with a crazy mixture of calypso, rock-a-billy, Mexicano and New Orleans soul - I even detect a strong but subtle gospel influence. He has a clear, strong straight voice filled with the joy that only comes from loving what you do. He is backed by three black brothers, great thumbing bass, and Flaco Jimanez on the funkiest, accordion that you've ever heard. Percussion is great. Sax is fabulous.

But on all cuts, including this one, "Smack Dab In The Middle",) nobody outplays or overshadows anyone else -- it's all about the music and none of it about ego or showmanship.

In addition to his clear joyous voice voice, he plays an incredibly tasteful rock guitar with terrifically tasty riffs, never overplaying, always clear... as if Ry were punctuating the music. The background vocals and percussion are pure, sweet and never overdone.

The bottom line is that Ry Cooder is a terrific musician, a great arranger, a great studio quality player and he puts on a beautifully balanced show -- he treats his audience to his love of music. And great gosh a'mighty does he rock. RadioDAZZ and the DAZZman bring you Ry Cooder.

Forward this to all of your colleagues and music loving pals through your magical channels on the social media circuit. If I wanted a tuna melt, I'd request it on Ry. He's one of my favorite songmasters...and what a show he puts on. High, positive energy. The "together" sound of musicians loving the music that they are playing.

Click on the link or display below and enjoy a great rock song with hysterical lyrics and let the joy fill your heart, soul and mind. You'll be hearing more of him from your Uncle Dazz. Count on it! Listen, and then spread the word!

Everything But The Girl [E.B.T.G.]: "Take Me," "Walking Wounded," "Missing," and my favorite, as fast as wheels can turn... The British understand the art of seduction...

Douglas E Castle 1 second ago

Haunting. Love it. This is the kind of song that makes the hair stand up on your neck. It speaks of persistent, forgiving, understanding and accepting love. I'm leaving a parking spot open in front of my flat. The keys are under the doormat. You just don't throw love (or music) like this away. Fabulous sound. Great Group! RadioDAZZ

"Driving" performed by Everything But The Girl. Click and listen. Enjoy.
