[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1439199435' post='2840656'] I now have 27 more recordings I need to listen to . [/quote] That happens to me in the [i]God, I love Jazz[/i] thread.

Gentle Giant being funky, from the album [i]Octopus[/i] ... [media]http://youtu.be/oK4cuXJa7QE[/media]

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1439146729' post='2840408'] One of the reasons Genesis appeal to me more than (for example) Yes, are the soul influences brought to the mix by Gabriel and Collins (and occasionally Banks)... [/quote] I'd agree with that and add another example of Gentle Giant who had roots as an R&B/soul band.

Very nice.

Also, I very much like the Italian born Gino D'Auri.

Camarón de la Isla sang often with guitarist Paco de Lucia. They also worked with a guitarist known as Tomatito. Also worth checking, in my view, is Enrique Morente. I'll think of a few more in a minute.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1439111633' post='2839982'] MacWifey and I go the the flamenco festival each year at Saddlers Wells [size=4] [/size] [/quote] Yes, very good, been to that a couple of times.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1439105053' post='2839922'] I say - ding dong! [/quote] Well, hellooooooooo ....

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1439070543' post='2839821'] Along with "dad dancing", of course... [/quote] My son said I danced like a drunken robot. Given that my dance influences are Ray Charles and Leslie Phillips, I took it as a compliment.

Saw another fantastic show in Sevilla last night.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1439060115' post='2839740'] Wonderful. I flirted with flamenco dancing some years ago. Lovely stuff. Not easy, but sometimes I wish I'd persevered with it. Especially as it is a form of dance that you can do at any age. [/quote] It is never too late to start. Mrs ET has always danced one way or another but flamenco for about 10 years now.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1439061516' post='2839752'] Best tambourine song ever. Worst tambourine playing ever. How ironic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Vz-z4PEkk [/quote] They should have got Jack Ashford.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1438983307' post='2839263'] I was expressing a personnel opinion, I didn't expect everybody, or perhaps anybody to agree with me, for the record I think Yellow Submarine is a joke/comedy/childrens song, and Rigby is a Macca/Martin classical recording and to paraphrase Mr Richard(s) makes it a mish mash of an Album, IMO [/quote] I agree with what you say there except I do not see it as a bad thing. For example, Yellow Submarine is exactly a joke/comedy/children's song and that is good and in a long English tradition of nonsense verse and children's rhymes. I like that.

For anyone interested, the Sanlucar tablao was Raquel Villegas Gomez con su grupo.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1438943804' post='2838817'] Often, knowing who to ask would have got you the answer more quickly than a forum posting. In this case, a PM to Kiogon would have got you the answer. [/quote] Either way ~ patience.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1438902852' post='2838644'] revolver would have been perfect if they'd left off Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby [/quote] Both of those songs are part of the Englishness of The Beatles. They are essential to the perfection of Revolver.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1438901700' post='2838639'] Forget the tinto, you're in Sanlúcar! It's manzanilla time. And "bitter and twisted passion" is what flamenco is all about. Enjoy! [/quote] Too much cerveza and tinto to start on the manzanilla tonight ~ I would have lost the duende.

Watching flamenco show in back street in Sanlucar de Barrameda in Andalucia ~ usual dancers and singer and clapping and guitarist but also guy doubling on flute, soprano sax and button harmonica - sounds like ennio morricone meets herbie mann doing jazz flamenco with bitter and twisted passion. And another glass of tinto.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1438899102' post='2838620'] Nothing, and I mean *nothing* irritates me more than the 'clap on beats 1 & 3' brigade. Have they no soul? [/quote] Soul but no backbeat.

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1438897147' post='2838593'] I'd love one of these [/quote] I do love it. Even though I almost sold it once.

What was the question?

I know nothing about Yes or Squire but surely it is another job for Palladino? ;-)

Richards also thinks Led Zeppelin are cr4p. EDIT ~ oops
