Shawn: Just wanna say "thanks" for the periodic revivals of this thread with all the sweet jazz suggestions and links.
For the benefit of interested members, I heartily recommend KCSM.org , our SF Bay Area PBS jazz station, possibly the last 24/7 true jazz station in the country with real DJ's playing their own seelctions, not playlists.
They run a web-streaming broadcast as well and deserve all the support they can get.

Al: I have KCSM bookmarked. Here's some more jazz links :
http://www.wwno.org/ New Orleans PBS; you have to click on WWNO3 in the right column.
http://www.wbgo.org/ New York area PBS
http://www.jazz.fm/ "JAZZ.FM91 is the only station broadcasting real jazz 24-7 in Canada"

This one is my favorite; it's not commercial-free but the choices on the site make it easy to skip commercials:
http://www.jazzradio.com/
btw...I click on bass jazz 1st, gypsy jazz 2nd, and guitar jazz 3rd...lol

I've been on an acoustic bass binge lately (months, years). Brian Bomberg is one of my new heroes.
Here's 2 versions of solo Come Together, 1st is recorded, 2nd is live:

Well, that's just plain BEAUTIFUL!! Thing is, it's interesting to watch him do all the tuning and adjustments while playing, but it SOUNDS better, if you turn away, and don't watch, and just listen. That's what I found, anyway. Just listen and not watch..... then after you've really ENJOYED the piece of music, then you can watch and see the "how" of it. Thanks for posting!

Anyone going to Telluride Bluegrass this year? Here's the link:
http://www.bluegrass.com/telluride/lineup.html

I've never heard of these guys but they're good and scheduled for Thursday:

I'm trying to figure out if I can go right now. Looks like a lineup that I've been wanting to see since my bluegrass days: Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile-Nickel Creek_Punch Brothers, Tim O'Brien, Darrel Scott, Peter Rowan...

WOW...James McMurtry "We Can't Make It Here"...wonderful protest song...haven't heard truth like this in quite a few years, originally released in 2005:

Playing a Guild electric at 17:00 and a Guild acoustic at 28:00 on this one from 2013 (if you have time, listen the lyrics of "Choctaw Bingo" at 34:00):

From Wikipedia:
"In 1987 McMurtry's career entered an upswing. A friend in San Antonio suggested McMurtry enter the New Folk songwriter contest; he became one of six winners that year. Also around this time John Mellencamp was starring in a film based on a script by McMurtry's father, which gave McMurtry the opportunity to get a demo tape to Mellencamp. Mellencamp subsequently served as co-producer on McMurtry's 1989 debut album, Too Long in the Wasteland. McMurtry also appeared on the soundtrack of the film Falling from Grace, working with Mellencamp, John Prine, Joe Ely, and Dwight Yoakam in a "supergroup" called Buzzin' Cousins."
