Keith Rowe (was: ECM guitarists?)

[ditch wrestler <ditchwrestler@yahoo.com>]

 

I'm a bit of an AMM nerd - I had the fortune to attended an Eddie Prevost workshop and have dinner with him afterwards - and my favourite is "Newfoundland".  (since we're posting 'blog links, it's here - http://bigfatsatanist.blogspot.com/2008/11/amm-newfoundland.html)

And "Duos for Doris" is very good - Keith Rowe and John Tilbury (two long standing AMM members, though Keith left after Eddie indirectly slagged him in his last book).

 

There's a hanful of Keith up on youtube; though he's not the most visual guy, what with the guitar on a table and all that... ;-)

 

I've seen numerous pics of Keith's set-up (which pretty much changes every gig) and I've spotted an Boss RC-2 a few times.  Now he seems to be incorporating a laptop but I think he's still keeping a handful of pedals.

 

As far as Eddie's recording, my vote's for his trio recording "The Virtue in If"

OK, one more piece of out there esoterica. It's not ECM, but on ECM's
ugly sister label Japo, AMM released "It Had Been An Ordinary Enough
Day In Pueblo, Colorado" in 1980. I actually bought this one when it
came out. I think Keith Rowe's guitar playing here is stellar, and
it's an all time favorite. Again, another long out-of-print impossible
to find album, but it's out there on the blogosphere:

I'd love to hear if anyone else out there likes this one.
