OK Forum members, you know the expression Let the FORCE be with you? Well, take precautionary measures before listening because the FORCE is coming right inside your house, gonna get right next to you and it may be a good time to check if your surge suppressor is working. Before that, though, did you know that there is another blues burner and yet another award winning banjo picker both named Tom Adams? People's comments on SoundCloud always were written as though they weren't talking to our Tom, but about that other guitar guy, asking how he's doing and such. So Tom and I agreed to use "Tommy" in hopes making things less confusing. Tommy, the mighty burner, is the FORCE.

You hip cats are on fire man. I dig this crazy jazz sound. This was cool, groovy, uptight, outasight, dope, beast, wicked and dizzy. Please invite me to the next hip swinging jam if the other cats are down with it.

Hi Aleck Rand, first thing I'll say is I Love the song title! The force is strong with this one! The section at 1:38 is very interesting, very crazy and fun! Well done!
Cheers,
Joe

Wow! The most fun version I've heard in a long time. That was great; excellent solos and a very good mix, I think.
Thank you.

Green onions I thought like Huh ??? Then the first opening notes and I said oh ‘THAT Green Onions
The rest was a roller coaster ride of fun. down the line, highly talented musicians just letting go, putting definitive movements within it, that was just brilliant This was a real sit up listen guys, loved it.

I would definitely define this as definitive!!! If the forum was a TV show, this would definitely be our theme to introduce the show. The greener, the meaner, so glad I seen her (and heard her). Okay, I'm just getting silly now. This is such a great listen-great song to spin some stellar musicianship off of. I'm a big booker T fan-loved his work on Bruce Cockburn's Nothin but a Burning Light. Great work guys!!! Booker T would love this!! Take care. Greg

As most of you here know, our resident maestro, master guitarist and keyboardist Dean likes to color outside the lines once in a while. Thanks for taking me along on the ride. It was fun reinterpreting a classic. Not only does Dean play some great B3 and bass but he brings in Jamie for some dazzling synth work. These two impressive musicians left me in awe with their contributions to this project and deserve a big Thanks from me for allowing me to participate. What a Blast! Thanks to all who took the time to listen and comment. We all appreciate it. Tom

To Tom and all the Forum members:
We ought to get two things clear:
(1) The blues is a chord progression. Not to be confused with blue suede shoes, or your emotional state after someone stepped on them even after you asked, "Please don't."
(2) Blues guitar does not mean playing the blues on the guitar. The simplest blues is an art in itself (three 7th chords is alls you get) and here's where you find blues guitar. On the other hand, jazz blues substitutes entire sub-progressions for the three basic chords, offering easy escapes, lots of room for double-talk, etc.
Now that we've cleared that up, it's time for something that needs no clearing up: Tom Adams is a virtuoso of the blues guitar. Green Onions, as performed here, shows the kind of hybrid that can result when you turn a jazz musician loose on the three chords. But I can't even fake blues guitar, so in order to make it work we needed a solo voice strong enough to cut through the dense accompaniment and occasional smoke-and-mirrors. Tom has the voice, the vernacular and the venom. I agree with that this collaboration was a blast that deserves to be heard another time.

"Blues guitar does not mean playing the blues on the guitar"? You've got me there! I'm completely baffled.

Great virtuoso performance by all. Quite a top level collaboration that fried those green onions to perfection.
Had a fun listen.

That was NICE! I'm going to cop this arrangement for my next gig. I've done GO on organ for years to the point I hated it and started messing around with it out of boredom with staying true to the original. Never did a formal rearrangement though but I did change it to Am so I could easily throw in some Greg Rollie Santana style two handed chord slaps in it. Love this version and thanks for posting this.

David,
You unleashed a flurry of boss phrases and praises on Tommy and me and the gang. And naturally we are all grateful. It's hard to believe that GO has been going strong since 1962 and I'd like to think that it set Booker T. up for life, but in the music business - make that the entertainment business - you never know. Think of the two guys that invented the Superman character. I think they sold the rights to Marvel Comics for $150 and spent the rest of their days fighting - I don't know with what success - for their just reward.

Hey Jazzmammal,
Go forth with our blessings, dude, and thanks from all of us. I do know what you mean - more than one Forum member expressed the same "done it to death" fatigue with the Onions. In fact, that was the motivation to take it into the Room of Fun House Mirrors and watch it orbit around Tom's gravitational pull. If you can record the band doing it on a gig (...gig? it sounds familiar ... remind me again?) and post it somewhere, I'd love to hear it. Looking forward to it.
Dean

Lambada!
Why is blues guitar not the same thing as playing the blues on the guitar? What a great question! And it deserves a quality answer. This will appear in a forthcoming post. Now I wish someone would ask, "Which soldier escaped the circular firing squad?" No answers have been forthcoming and I just may have to give it away with a "spoiler alert."

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
