STUNNING 1987 BROADCAST FROM RY COODER AND HIS GET RHYTHM MUSICIANS Near the end of 1987, the eleventh studio album by Ry Cooder was ready to ship. Get Rhythm was as traditional a work as Cooder had produced in a decade, and as its loosely themed concept wound its way across its nine classic cuts, performed by a line-up of seasoned, rootsy musicians (featuring the likes of Van Dyke Parks, Jim Keltner, Bobby King, Flaco Jiménez and a host of others), the record gave Cooder his best seller since the late seventies. Some months prior to the release of Get Rhythm, Ry Cooder had performed a number of dates with the aptly named Moula Banda Rhythm Aces, featuring pretty much the same line-up as were concurrently recording the upcoming LP. Their performance at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, on the 25th March 87, was both recorded and filmed, and the entire show was broadcast on FM Radio along the US West Coast. This CD now contains this stunning recording, available here for the first time.
