2006 – SOUND GRAMMAR
Produced By ORNETTE COLEMAN & MICHAELA DEISS
1. Intro
2. Jordan
3. Sleep Talking
4. Turnaround
5. Matador
6. Waiting For You
7. Call To Duty
8. Once Only
9. Song X
Saxophonist Ornette Coleman was one of the leaders of the avant-garde and free jazz movements of the 1960’s. He explored funk in the 1970’s and experimented with electric instruments. Coleman, who was often misunderstood by his peers, was still highly regarded. Over his career, he played with the likes of Eric Dolphy, Yoko Ono, Jerry Garcia, Pat Metheny and Bobby “Blue Bland, among many others. Sound Grammar is a live album released in 2006. It was recorded in Germany the year before, when Coleman was 75 years old. It was also his first album in a decade. And, as is usual with Coleman’s recordings, it’s an absolute frenzy. Which is why his music has never been for the masses.
The band that accompanies Coleman here is a three man rhythm section, with his son Denardo on drums, and a pair of bassists in Gregory Cohen and Tony Falanga. Coleman plays not only saxophones, but also bits of trumpet and some magnificently eerie violin solos. The finale, “Song X”, is a ten minute excursion into some truly frightening, yet also beautiful music. This album shows that Coleman never did lose his adventurous spirit, and he still had that wild energy even well into his seventies. Again…the music of Ornette Coleman is not for everyone. Experimental jazz never has been. But if this kind of music is your thing, there’s plenty to enjoy here. A fine show by one of the great misunderstood kings of modern jazz.

2006 – RCA
No Production Credit
1. Razor
2. Over And Out
3. Walking After You
4. Marigold
5. My Hero
6. Next Year
7. Another Round
8. Big Me
9. Cold Day In The Sun
10. Skin And Bones
11. February Stars
12. Times Like These
13. Friend Of A Friend
14. Best Of You
15. Everlong
Dave Grohl is no stranger to the unplugged concept, having been a part of one of the most memorable of those MTV shows with Nirvana. Skin And Bones is an acoustic live album recorded over three nights at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles during the summer of 2006. Along with Foo Fighters, the show also features singer and violinist Petra Haden, former Nirvana guitarist Pat Smear, keyboardist Rami Jaffee from The Wallflowers, and percussionist Drew Hester. With this expanded band, they are able to still generate a very large sound when needed, even with it being an acoustic set. There are plenty of the Foo’s hits here, and getting to hear them in a different way is pretty cool. The keyboards, not a normal part of the Foo’s sound, are quite prevalent.
But one of the most endearing things about Foo Fighters is the energy they put out, especially live. And in this setting, while there are plenty of dynamics, a lot of their power is lost in the more laid-back arrangements. Grohl’s singing, in particular, feels held back. But outside of that, this is a unique take by the band on a lot of their better songs and biggest hits. And Taylor Hawkins gets his vocal on “Cold Day In The Sun”, which is cool. There was also a separate DVD only release, which features an expanded set list (by six songs). The UK DVD version is even better, with a second disc of a live show in Hyde Park that includes guest appearances by Lemmy and Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen. Go with the DVD version if you can find it. A good, but imperfect, live document of one of America’s most popular rock bands. [First added to this chart: 08/13/2024]
