Lochs of Dread w/ SC, Stanley Clarke, & Bela Fleck

[TheEqualizer]

I picked this up this weekend. Three songs with Stewart.

Copelanditis....already have it. Have had it, Done Deal...uh yeah. Nice.

Forgot to mention this. Stewart plays on a Premier drumkit with Zil cymbals in this video.

The whole Stanley Clarke DVD is worth watching. On one song simply titled Big Jam, there is some interesting playing by Flea of the RHCPs and Sheila E along with Stewart. Another song with Stewart is clearly jazz (and we all know how much he LOVES jazz) along with about seven of the biggest names in jazz bass.

Also funny is the fact that the video captions I.D. him as "Stuart".

That reminds me of the picture of the sign in Lynn Goldsmith's book...Oh! Wrong thread!

Lochs of Dread is the one track where you get to hear Stewart really well, but I would recommend the DVD to any Stanley fan or for fans of "low frequencies" (the Bass).

I've given this "jazz" quote of Stewart's some more thought and am beginning to feel that it actually would make a lot of sense for the police to take a jazz fusion route. We all know Sting's jazz roots and Andy certainly has the chops and has made several jazz flavoured records including a couple completely devoted to Mingus and Monk. Stewart clearly has the skills to play with greats like Stanley Clarke and can improvise and jam with the best of them. He even wanted the Police's Bonnaroo set to be several long jams. I've often listened to Andy's songs and wondered what they would sound like with some Sting vocals and Stewart percussion. I for one would love this kind of sound. Second only to a pure reggae record.

he does get buried in the other tracks. But its fun watching nonetheless.

I love you and come in Peace, but I do think it's like asking me to have a date with Phil Collins...SO Not happening *besides, Sting has done that to death.
