Two by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Greatest Band Ever
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Uploaded by soulpatrol
This is Mahavishnu Orchestra Friday. Above: "You know you know." Forbidden secrets of the Mahavishnu Orchestra: Both Goodman and Jan "Miami Vice" Hammer were more melodic soloists than McLaughlin. Billy Cobham, after 30 years have passed, looks like he was the best composer. Below: "Dawn", which features, arguably, the greatest guitar solo ever. Right around 1:56 turn it to 11 and begin your air guitar pantomime. Also: Yes, I directed and produced this Broadcast video, rated at two stars which I think stands for "EX cellence." And Goddamn you Reginald Hudlin. Goddamn you and BET on J to Hell.

"Al Mustafa the Beloved" and Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues"
"Al Mustafa The Beloved" by Cobham Duke
Uploaded by Steelydan
Above: Some good old fashioned jazz rock. Features bold songwriting and incredible drum solo from Billy Cobham. Guitarist John Scofield looks cool. Do not approach the Cobham drum kit. Below: Deacon Blues. I knew a cool girl once who could recite the lyrics. I liked her a lot. And can't stop listening to: "Looks Can Kill" by Camera Obscura and "Failure" by the Kings of Convenience. Are the Kings of Convenience any match for the King of Woolworth's?. And I directed this Broadcast vid called "Man is Not a Bird". I'll be submitting this to Cannes and/or Sundance forthwith. As usual: BET on J still sucks.
