With Alex’s great lesson this week on Noir/Cuban/Blues thought I’d share some Stephen Ulrich and Big Lazy

Big Lazy is a favorite of mine! Steven Ulrich is a masterful player. He also teaches lessons if you’re interested. This album also features him is a one off that is a perfect ten in my book…

Yesssss! After Marc Ribbot, Stephen Ulrich is one of my favorites! Love his compositions! I did take a couple of lessons with him. Nice man.

Yes he is absolutely one of my favorite players too, Luca Benedetti is also worth checking out. Big Lazy is playing here in Vancouver with Paul Pigat next month, hopefully I can make that show.

No way! I don’t know much about Ziegler except for this record. There are some great videos from this album. He seems like a really cool musician.

In honor of a Ribot lesson. His work with Los Cubamos Postizos is great.

This one fetures I assume Ribot sing/speaking in really band gringo Spanish. About halfway through he shiftys gears into something more intense and has some killer tone at 1:47.

I recently found La Lom - The Las Angeles Leahue of Musicians. SImilar Latin vibe but cumbia based.

I’m a sucker for anytime a pedal steel is thrown into the mix as well. I really look forward to checking out Big Lazy.

This is great, love the vibe!

Jay are you in Colorado? I can’t remember if that’s you. La Lot is playing Denver and Boulder in August.

I’m in Denver. I am all in on seeing LA Lom.

Hi Patrick, no I’m in Vancouver BC.

Looks like they are playing Victoria on June 25th.

Oh too bad, I’m seeing Julian Lage that night

that’s a pretty great alternative!

This thread is absolute gold, thanks for the inspiration all :pray:

I picked up this at the latest record fair…

Great player I stumbled across recently

These guys have an interesting vibe, The Glass Beams - Indian meets Khruangbin with a bit of Surf Noir

Absolutely, she’s brilliant!
