Funky Jams for All! Post here!

PS : the other musicians were from the Ferré and other families. They not only added to French usic, but to world music too.

When they were young :



PS : Louis Fays plays what we call the "tousseau de clefs". His son Raphael is a very talented guitarist, I met tehm in their kitchen, and they played for us. They live nearby. Raphael has made a trip back to the spanish sources.


Others like Angelo Debarre are still closer to that French gypsy jazz, taking from all the influences they've been through, including the Eastern Europe feel that was alredy present in django's style:

Thank you for making my day a WHOLE LOT BETTER.
 
Dancing in the sexy eighties :cool:


I don't know for the "anglos", but for a Frenchman like me, north of the Loire accent, Italian sounds so sweet, so musical, so sexy...

Went to Italy on short trips (almost fell into the Vesuvio for a photo), but Sicily is the place I would settle, if I win the €million 😁

The people there are really cool. All of the people I know there. Even the waiters/waitress are easy-going, not like when you order a coffee in Paris.

It's very strange being with the mildest, friendliest people, and knowing that the mafia is still holding a grip, that somehow, it's around, lurking in the dark... But the people there in Sicily are so nice.

I took some students there :

Didn't "teach" them any Italian, or English. But they learned a lot I'm sure.

These girls didn't take drugs or alcohol there, they just enjoyed where they were. Discovering a new region of Europe. I don't know what they've become. Once in a while, I meet a lady pushing a pram and she says "Hey, Monsieur Krizic, do you remember me. You were the coolest teacher I ever had..." or "Hey, you remeber me, I was a real troublemaker, but we never fought. Now I have a business of my own (???) and man, I'm sorry if I got on yur nerves because you were cool.

Or a guy sitting at an outdoor café calling me : "I'm Noé, Noé Hill". Of course I remember him : my youngest son is Noé (not that usual here), and he was born on June 16 : like me !!! (but not in 55). He's the nephew of a girl I knew in the 90s, Christine Hill. Funny coincidences. "You're one of the teachers we didn't want to miss the lessons, you were a bit "far-out", but we didn't get bored like with the others..."

I'm an old man now.

And though my memory is waning, I can still count on my fingers the number of hours of detention I gave in the last 20 years of my activity.

On Django's right hand fingers.

I've always believed that the "Human factor" is 90% of the success.

As if punishing could equal to teaching... A very wrong, "religious" bias. Like the schizophrenic teachings of religion(s)

Teaching means helping, loving, not sentencing to the death penalty when a toe crosses the "Line" like some weirdos do. I mean like some states in the world do, China, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Russia, ... USA

Teaching means making children think for themselves, not believe that Santa brings the i-phone. Religion is brainwashing.

Freedom of thought means enabling people think for themselves, not believe that Satan made you a homo, or a girl/ a whore that had sex before marriage.

Interesting choice as far as favorite band ever. I like their material up to Gutter Ballet. The "Dungeons Are Calling" EP is a classic and is better than thier albums.

Savatage is so rad , they’re so slept on .. RIP Criss , they should have been bigger than they were. I put him up there with Hammet as one of the best guitarists of all time
 
I like it a lot : it has a kind of "CCR" feel that brings me back decades ago.

It reminds me of a postcard one of my sons sent me from Holland (or Belgium, can't remember, my memory is like mature camembert in the heat...) :

Been on late 80’s early 90’s death metal kick and thrash lately. Before my time but it just has a certain vibe.

Now we're talking!

Immortal Rites is one of my favorite opening tracks of all time. The reversed riff in, then that classic thrashing motif... just amazing. That album is so good. I dont think they topped it after.

Leprosy is not my favorite Death album. Pull the Plug is the best off that record but Schuldiner was his most brutal and creative on Human, IMO.

Dead By Dawn goes over really well live. Benton kind of is a nut job but early Deicide is great.

Since it seems like youre keyed in to the Florida Scene, here are a few other classics, obscure and well known, from that scene:

 

I could keep going... Monstrosity, Malevolent Creation, Cannibal Corpse, etc... and all these bands have oodles of amazing tracks.
