HANDS OF SILVER

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Since the 60s I have been enchanted by Manitas de Plata (Fingers of Silver).  He is the finest, most authentic Gypsy Flamenco guitar player who ever lived.  He was the progenitor of  The Gypsy Kings, together with the singer who performed with him most of his life, Jose Reyes.  This is a full-length (remastered) concert by Manitas de Plata, with Jose Reyes (and others) from 1975.  The first solo performance by Manitas de Plata in this concert begins at 10:00.  It is “Por el Camino de Ronda“.

SNARKY PUPPY

It’s Saturday Night everywhere at least once a week…. it’s my turn tonight.  Jazz and Mozart are my preferred non-toxic escape from reality when I need a Jolt of Joy you can only get from artistic perfection……  In this masterpiece of jazz perfection, the Grammy Award winnering group Snarky Puppy performs.  Cory Henry – keyboards (solo) – demonstrates why electronic keyboards were invented in a solo performance that is beyond genius!  We are not worthy of such sounds on this planet……
