Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

I've been listening to Dean Brown's "Rolajafufu" all week.
Hard to believe he still puts so much energy into every single note he plays. And he's just as frenetic a player as he was when he was with Billy Cobham and George Duke back in the day. Keeping fusion alive baby!

That’s a pretty good track! I didn’t know Dean Brown. Also good bass face.

Incidentally, "ROLAJAFUFU" stands for Rock/Latin/Jazz/Funk/Fusion, which pretty much sums up Dean Brown's playing.
For you theory nerds out there, I find it amazing that someone with the chops to play bebop lines the way Dean Brown can, he favors minor and major pentatonic scales. I was watching an interview with him where he was talking about why he likes the pentatonic scale so much is that it's a scale that naturally sounds like a "melody". Interesting......makes me feel a little better about being stuck in my pentatonic box for 40 years....... :ROFLMAO:
 

The Beatles - Now And Then - The Last Beatles Song (Short Film)​

Now and Then's eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.
