The Beatles — The White Album
Today marks the 40th anniversary of The Beatles’ historic White Album. The White Album is in very close running with several other amazing albums as my favorite of the 1960′s. It may even be my favorite Beatles album, but Abbey Road always gets pissed when I say that. Has an album ever spanned more ground than The White Album? Or a more talked about and controversial album with more storylines? I mean, “Paul Is Dead”, Brian Epstein’s death, the ashram in India and the Maharishi, “Magic” Alex, stereo or mono?, Manson and Helter Skelter, the insane band fighting, Happiness Is A Warm Gun (from a Gun-N-Ammo title), Ringo quits!, Yoko in the studio, the number stamped album cover, Clapton’s guitar solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Bungalow Bill, etc., etc. Perhaps you should throw it on the turntable, or toss in the CD, eight track, tape and listen-with headphones preferably. Really listen. Remember this was 1968! This is The Beatles, man! At their peak!
Here’s a video montage of the White Album sessions:
McCoy Tyner — Guitars
All About Jazz:
Pianist McCoy Tyner’s dramatic arpeggios, thunderous bass pulses and modulated chord voicings have inspired generations of aspiring jazz musicians. An acoustic purist who sustained a viable career through the heavily electrified fusion era, Tyner has maintained impressive consistency in his performances and recordings since his seminal tenure in John Coltrane’s classic mid-sixties quartet.Tyner’s vast discography includes relatively few guitar wielding side-men; Guitars, then, is unique in Tyner’s oeuvre as it contains a rotating roster of high profile guitarists, featuring Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, John Scofield, Derek Trucks and banjo wizard Bela Fleck.(more…)

Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton — Stairway To Heaven
A trio of ex-Yardbirds gunslingers featured here. Of course this is a Zeppelin song, but this performance is post-Zep in late ’83. No vocals, just heavy, blistering guitar work. In reading Clapton’s autobiography, I was struck by Clapton’s disdain for Zeppelin. He has always been quite critical of their obvious swiping of old blues musicians, but he still seems rather appalled by the English quartet’s massive success. Of course Clapton also recognized and noted that he had mistakenly plagiarized a section in the builiding guitar crescendo on his song “Let It Grow”. It is obvious in listening to it, he did. Whatever the case, all three of the men here are massively talented and incredibly virtuousic guitarists.
