Thanks for commenting. I agree totally. As far as I'm concerned the whole decade produced some of the most original and timeless music ever. As we know a contributing factor to that was that most of the record company executives put their pride and honor into investing in even the most esoteric music, creating a creative environment that was crucial to the making of all those masterpieces. Then the 80's and MTV came along and we all know what happened. The people who were behind the exceptional music made in the previous decades were replaced by suits and the money making aspect of the business became more important than the art. Thankfully most of the music of the 60's and 70's are now only a few clicks away on various streaming services to enjoy. But I'm more concerned than ever before about the state of music, especially popular music which is mostly garbage these days. Hopefully something drastic will happen to the business and priorities will change. But I'm not optimistic :(
@@musicuniverse1986 Yes exactly. Well said, and unfortunately, I agree with you. It has slowly gotten worse, and today's "music" is ... well I'm not even sure what to call it anymore. Thanks again.
I agree. It's no coincidence that "Bright Size Life" the album was selected to be in the Smithsonian. Thanks for taking the time to comment Keyser. Greetings from Norway.
I will be seeing Pat in concert later this year. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 Thank you for adding this. Fills me with joy each time I hear it. P.S. I will try not to delete my comment this time ;)
Hi Carole. It's great to hear that this piece of music brings out such emotions in you and that you'll be seeing Pat in concert this year. I've seen him live two times here in Norway and both times were wonderful. What band/setting will he be playing with/in? :)
@@musicuniverse1986 Hi M U :) I was in such a hurry to buy tickets, I didn't even look to see who he was playing with! I have no idea how I managed it, but I have second row seats!! *Big smile*. Turns out he is solo. It's his Dream Box/Moon Dial Tour, at the Barbican in London. Who was in his band when you saw him?
@@carolephern4757 Great to hear! Lucky you :) The first time I saw him in 2003 he played with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra in Oslo and the second time at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2016 with his quartet at the time. In addition to Pat the quartet was Antonion Sanchez on drums, Linda Oh on bass and Gwilym Simcock on piano. Comparing the two concerts, it was interesting to see him in two such vastly different settings and how he adapted accordingly. The first being with a large ensemble with elaborate charts and the second quartet one naturally being more loose/improvisational.
Hai notato quanti mancano all'appello? È come se un uragano si fosse abbattuto sui musicisti del mondo e noi a guardare, impotenti. Adesso lassù c'è un'orchestra cosi grande e potente in grado di spostare i pianeti.
Seriously, the late seventies had some phenomenal music happening! Thank you for sharing!
