Chris Isaak -- "Chris Isaak" from 1996, almost entirely for the brilliance that is James Calvin Wilsey's guitar (check him out on the cut "Wild Love").

Dire Straits -- Communique

Charlie Parker -- way too many to choose from, but if I have to, it will be "Bird in Paris"

Got to see Dire Straits at a tiny little night club in Connecticut called the Shaboo Inn back in September or October of '78 just after their first album dropped in the US. "Sultans of Swing" was, by then, a massive hit, and the band were playing arena-sized shows, but Mark Knopfler insisted upon keeping the Shaboo date as he wanted to reward the venue for signing the band before anyone in the US knew who they were. Knopfler is on my short list with Richard Thompson for the world's greatest living guitarist.

Have to go even more off-topic and tell a story about the Shaboo Inn. It was a dive of a club in an old thread mill in Mansfield, Connecticut, but would get the greatest bands on their way between Boston and New York because the owners, David "Lefty" Foster and Bruce John, were just great guys.

About the same time Dire Straits played, the Police also showed up. The Shaboo show was just the band's second in the United States, and Foster did it as a favor to drummer Stewart Copeland's brother Ian Copeland, who booked the band. "``He goes, `Lefty, do you want Iggy Pop in six weeks?''' Foster remembers. ``I said yes. He did the agent thing where he said, `If you want Iggy Pop, then you'll take my brother's band.''' So Foster took a band he had never heard of and set the cover charge at $1. ``The record hadn't come out yet, so we knew it was going to be dead,'' Foster says. Plus, the World Series was on, and the Yankees were playing the Dodgers. This didn't sit well with Sting.

"``It's a tie game, and Sting is in the barroom pacing, completely bored, going, `I really want to play,''' Foster says. ``He was driving everybody nuts, so finally, I say, `Look, what's your name? Sting? Sting, look, we're all going to watch your band, but it's a tie game; it's the World Series. Wait until 10 o'clock, and then go on.''

I was in the bar that night watching the game, but had no idea that drama was going on behind me. The Police went on afterward, with a crowd of just a couple hundred or so. To their credit, they put on a great show.
