Ricky Lee Jones: Satellite (video)

the 'official video' of one of her best songs..

Ricky Lee Jones: Easy Money

Ricky Lee gives her treatment to Lowell George's (Little Feat) song.. he discovered her and got Warner Brothers to sign her before his death..

Bebo Valdes: Americana

BEBO VALDES, piano, and Javier Colina (on bass)- "Americana", live in Mallorca (03?) - legendary Cuban pianist (father of Chucho) shows why he's considered a master pianist internationally; this improvisation is based on American music, such as Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Willow Weep for Me (Strayhorn?).. incredible REAL music, no namby pamby schlock... for tv, lol.. (this video has the title mislabeled, I saw the concert DVD)

Ricky Lee Jones - Rainbow Sleeves (audio)

my favorite composition of Tom Waits, done as no one else can..

Lyrics:
You used to dream yourself away each night
To places that you'd never been
On wings made of wishes
That you whispered to yourself
Back when every night the moon and you
Would sweep away to places
That you knew
Where you would never get the blues

Well now, whiskey gives you wings
To carry
Each one of your dreams
And the moon does not belong to you
But I believe
That your heart keeps young dreams
Well, I've been told
To keep from ever growing old
And a heart that has been broken
Will be stronger when it mends

Don't let the blues stop you singing
Darling, you've only got a broken wing
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves

Sarah Lee and Arlo Guthrie: Sailing Down This Golden River

Live, with Pete Seeger, the song's composer.. Arlo's daughters sing backup.. Sarah Lee was 14 in this performance

Miles Davis: Water Babies

from the outtakes of the IN A SILENT WAY sessions, this is a great Wayne Shorter composition, which he also recorded on his on first lp release.. this is classic for both, and the Miles Davis Quintet

Evelyn Glennie: Demonstrates her ProLine Mallets

EVELYN GLENNIE, the world's most in demand percussionist has been deaf since age 8, taught herself how to feel music notes w her body.. here she demonstrates her line of pro mallets on the marimba, and displays her remarkable range, both fast and slow.. a review of a documentary on her will follow.. Mind Blowing! certainly the best female percussionist/drummer ever.. (snare drum is her favorite)
