A todos los que fuimos al primer NOCTURNO del festival Sony Mutek.Mx 2012 y vimos a Luke Abbott tocando junto a Lao , Nathan Fake , Jon Hopkins , Egyptrixx y Scuba , nos quedó bastante claro que Luke tiene muy claro lo que quiere hacer con su música, y lo demuestra con una ejecución ejemplar en vivo. Anterior a su visita por el festival, Luke armó un LOG para nosotros, y ahora les presentamos las respuestas que nos dio a las recurrentes 13 preguntas que [...]
Destination: OUT just turned 6 years old! To mark the occasion, we've revamped and reactivated our "Beginner's Guide to Free Jazz." The main reason we launched the site was to turn people onto this remarkable music and show that, rather than being difficult and esoteric, it's vibrant and immediately engaging. So help us celebrate by telling one of your non-jazz-loving friends about this post and turn them on to these universal sounds. (And if you want to buy us - and your yourself - a present, there [...]
Neneh Cherry lives her life like it’s on shuffle. As a child, she hopped between Sweden, New York and London with her family—her stepfather is jazz legend Don Cherry—before making her musical debut at the ... read more
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 music of Wadada Leo Smith, no matter the setting, is spiritual, mesmerizing, purposeful and often dense. We found out back toward the end of ’09 just how dense his music can be when this innovative trumpet player debuted his Organic ensemble on disc 2 of the Spiritual Dimensions. That group sported four ... four! ... electric guitarists, as well
"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. [...]
Ornette Coleman called his music the Shape of Things to Come, then later harmolodics. Everyone else, eventually, came to call it free jazz. And that fits. It was, after all, so very free. Some of it was hard to understand, maybe still is. These were, after all, new pathways found, new sounds heard. The man himself always seemed inscrutable, almost

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 [...]
