There's a special kind of music you're just not going to hear on commercial radio. Maybe those corporate types are just scared to take a risk? And such an easy risk to take. I guess this is what happens when you purchase your competition and don't feel the need to break new and exciting artists anymore?

The first artist up tonight isn't necessarily new, and she sure has gotten plenty of attention, but mostly from us here non-comm stations.

Joanna Newsom (cousin to our governor) has a very unique delivery with her voice and harp. I have really been drawn into her for the past few months and am excited to share her Austin City Limits set with you from August 1, 2011.

Our headliner tonight is such a treat. The Knitters are the sort-of-Western Swing version of LA's seminal punk band, X. They even cover a few of X's tunes with a bit of a Western style. Gotta love that. I have always enjoyed seeing X live, and seeing The Knitters is always a crazy and wild ride. This is a super fun show from the Showbox in Seattle, July 22, 2005, featuring the great quartet with Dave Alvin, whom I suspect is a major reason they went this direction. Both X and The Knitters still play. Go see them when they hit your town.

John Hell's Live Bootleg Bonanza - Monday 6-8PM Pacific - Miles Davis 1969

What can I ever say about Miles Davis that would be better than anything ever said about the man? Nothing. I've been listening to Miles since my teens. I'm confident it was my father who turned me onto him, even if he didn't know a lot more about him than the fine music he was hearing. 

Early on my Jazz listening was all about Blue Note Be-Bop, which Miles was the undisputed King (OK, there's Bird and Dizzy of course). I ate all that Blue Note era up! When I was at KFJC (88-97) I hosted a mid-day Jazz/Soul/Funk show on Fridays for a few years. That's when I started to do a lot of deep crate digging, driving me towards the late-60s and early 70s era Miles. WOW!

It was then that I read his autobiography "Miles". I have read that book three times and each time is better than the last! I ended up hosting a five part 15 hour Miles Davis special on KFJC. I don't feel like I even scratched the surface of what this artist created.

Tonight's show features the late, great sax player from Miles' second great quintet: Wayne Shorter. I could have chosen a show or two from his post-Miles fusion group Weather Report, but I what I'm playing for you tonight is really going to kick your ass.

You think you know Jazz? You don't Jazz until you have heard this right here.

Two shows from Miles' 1969 European tour, featuring Shorter on Sax, Chick Corea on piano/organ, Jack DeJohnette on drums, and Dave Holland on bass. The first show is from Festival Mondial du Jazz d'Antibes, La PinËde, Juan-les-Pins, France 7/26/69. The second show is from Folkets Hus, Stockholm 11/5/69. Most of the tracks are from the Bitches Brew era, and live they really come to life. The interplay between all players if beyond words.

I know you're going to dig this.
