I recently received a mix from the One Handed Music ( OHM ) label and the Beautiful Swimmers out of Washington, D.C. that educated me about a legendary jazz artist who influenced the downtempo music that I love today. This mix - the first in the forthcoming OHM Dedication Series - was curated by Beautiful Swimmers (musician based in D.C.) to showcase the influence of Don Cherry - an African-American jazz musician who helped pioneer and showcase avant-garde jazz around the world from the 1950-70s, playing with legends such as John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Listen to the [...]
Filed under: News Arts & Crafts Stars ' vocalist Torquil Campbell and crooner Michael Buble might be fans of each other's music, but don't expect the two of them to agree on whether fighting has a place in hockey. On today's CBC radio program Q with Jian Ghomeshi, Campbell launched a pointed rant against fighting in hockey which he described as "animalistic violence." The view is in contrast to Buble's comments last October [...]
Filed under: News , Music Appreciation Getty Images | National Hockey League Don Cherry is the brash and ever-controversial co-host of 'Hockey Night in Canada's Coach's Corner' and, love him or hate him, a hockey icon. Now, it's not exactly like we've spent much time theorizing which tunes a loudmouth like him would like, but Cherry outing himself as a Deadmau5 fan, well, we never saw that coming! "I like all [...]

Coleman's first record as a band leader, and what a debut it is.
Jazz great Ornette Coleman's debut album is the newest reissue in the Original Jazz Classics Remasters Series.
I am tired, and just this once I have little to say. I just want to sit back and listen to the sharp, clear trumpet of Don Cherry cut through the psychedelic funk rhythms of Degi-Degi . It's from his classic 1975 album Brown Rice , and you owe it to yourself to get hold of a copy. No, really. Think of it as rare groove played by world travellers. Or just listen. Either way is good. Don Cherry - Degi-Degi [...]
OK. So hockey in Vancouver is officially over. A lot of people are pissed. Some people lit cop cars on fire, some cried and some people drank their own pee BUT we're over it. Thank god it's summer. Ever wanted to HEAR Don Cherry's suit? This is a falsetto away from being a Hercules and the Love Affair b-side.
"The first time [hearing The Fall], I just thought 'This is absolutely awful. This bloke can't sing, it's repetitive, it doesn't make any sense, all the things are out of tune, it just goes on and on the same. I hate it'. Then I heard it again and for all those reasons I thought, 'This is also brilliant'." "There's nothing worse than comedians saying they're like freestyle jazz musicians, because usually what they mean is that they had a photograph taken of themselves smoking..." "This is another thing we've forgotten about is that with Mark E. [...]

A drugged driver had a concrete surprise from the combination of the drugging and exhaustion. The locals who found him barely alive in the wreckage gave him a great river, the tents of a king and endless supplies of spring water, but all he did was attempt to use postcultural patriarchialist theory to modify and attack their class system. He was depressed for years due to their lack of aircraft, their terrible renderings of planetscapes and the preponderance of orphans in the area. The day before his death, he was quoted as saying, "Wave your dumb brains, your shut jaws [...]

Wild Weekend time again... With the For The Sake Of The Song iPod on shuffle and the eyes on the prize. The outcome? A sixpack of tunes exclusively picked by the ghost in the machine. Here we go. And we´re off, with those blokes you can trust. "It was smaller than a cow, it was bigger than a cat..." Yup, the Cosmic Psychos are here, tackling a typically Australian phenomenon: a dead roo. Which is followed by the exquisite pairing of John Coltrane on tenor sax and Don Cherry on trumpet, performing [...]
Well, Life Just Bounces mixtapes were pretty sporadic this year. It started strongly enough, with an early hiccup in March and, then, er, May, and by July everything had basically gone to the dogs. Oh well: in a spirited last-minute effort, here's a mix for December, themed for no good reason around the colour brown. Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful. Men are more apt to [...]
