Jim Oblon, Larry Goldings, Jim Keltner - Sunset

Jim Oblon, Larry Goldings, Jim Keltner - Sunset - 2014

A classicist, Oblon played bass, drums, and guitar on Paul Simon’s critically acclaimed So Beautiful or So What. Extending that reality, the New England-raised son of a musical family takes his musical ecumenism even farther. Oblon follows his EP “Live at the FooBar” with the evocative Sunset, a variety of ballads, vintage rock, and standards, recorded with master organist Larry Goldings and legendary drummer Jim Keltner.

Mike Baggetta, Jim Keltner & Mike Watt - Wall of Flowers

Mike Baggetta, Jim Keltner & Mike Watt - Wall of Flowers  - 2019 

New York guitarist Mike Baggetta’s new album, Wall of Flowers, features bassist Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose, Iggy Pop and the Stooges) and drummer Jim Keltner (John Lennon, George Harrison, Gábor Szabó, etc.). (Stephen Hodges—who’s worked with Mavis Staples, Tom Waits, and David Lynch—sits in for the latter at this live gig.) That’s mucho firepower for a musician many probably haven’t heard of. The thing is, Wall of Flowers doesn’t really sound like any of the artists with whom Watt and company have played. Rather, the album’s eight tracks spangle, clang, and shimmer in the noirish-jazz/no-wave nexus where Joe Morris, Robert Quine, and Robert Fripp at his mellowest and most minimal dwell. What I mean is, there’s no way this won’t be great.
