Analogplanet’s “George Martin, Keith Emerson and Nana Vasconcelos Tribute Show Now Available For Streaming Here or on the WFDU.fm Website
Last week we lost George Martin and then came news that The Nice and ELP keyboard great Keith Emerson had committed suicide. How sad.
Then we heard that percussion great Nana Vasconcelos, who often played with Pat Metheny, though he also played on The Talking Heads and Paul Simon albums, also passed away, he of lung cancer.
We pay tribute then, to all three, mostly to George Martin though, for obvious reasons. We could devote many shows and not cover all of Martin’s accomplishments.
So while we’d planned two hours of Martin, we made some room for the well deserving others. I think this may be the best analogplanet radio show yet.
