Music Review: Ahmad Jamal - Blue Moon
Wonderful nine-song collection from the legendary Ahmad Jamal.

I hope you guys, don't mind. Not that I care if you do or anything...I'm just saying. But yeah, hit the yadig for that thang. Yitidee! [...]
Yo, well continuing on in this Native tongues series for the second installment its only fitting to hit up De La Soul. I have jammed their music now for so long it always keeps me happy and head noddin. there is a little twist to the samples section of the post this time as I have abused my privileges of being the moderator for our facebooking side of things to select the tracks. I did this simply by asking peeps in via the status. I think its a good look so might make a regular feature. As an added bonus [...]
Jazz pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal is, according to Stanley Crouch , second in importance in the development of jazz after 1945 only to Charlie Parker. For five decades, he has been one of the most successful small-group leaders in jazz. "Pastures" is off Ahmad Jamal's 1974 album Jamal Plays Jamal . You may be much more familiar however, with the opening piano sequence, as it was sampled by Ski Beats for Jay-Z's "Feelin' It" off the Reasonable Doubt album. The track was originally meant to be a Camp Lo record, but Ski [...]

Remember that one from Music Man (one of my favorite Broadway shows)? My wife is the theater director at the local high school; she's considering doing Music Man next fall so she can cast our 8-year old, Skyler, as Winthrip. (Eat his dust, Ronnie Howard.) They're doing Pippin in a few weeks in which Sky is playing Theo. He's gonna rock and I will be a proud papa. Did I mention that we had band practice out in the Buddha Barn again this past Monday? Have I mentioned that we still suck? [...]

So I've been thinking about music today and worrying about all the compromises I am willing to make for it . We just got so much access now, music blogs (which I love), online record shops (which I both love and hate), downloadable mixes, myspace players etc etc. It's all too much. And some of this music (alot of this music) we can get for free, or we can hunt on google, or we can bitorrent it or buy some russian website, or get from a friend on cdr, or bluetoothed from a phone. It's the same feeling I [...]
