In most popular forms of music, collaboration between great artists doesn't necessarily result in a sum of all participating parts (think, for example, of "Ebony And Ivory" or the Jagger-Bowie version of "Dancing In The Streets" – they are both downright creepy). In jazz, however, the best recordings usually happen when great musicians play together. On Rite of Strings , the fusion gods bless us with an acoustic collaboration of three modern masters: Al di Meola (guitar), Jean-Luc Ponty (violin), and Stanley Clarke (bass). The result is an extraordinary outpouring of [...]

Harvested the first of this season's tangerines today. They are so outrageously organically sweet & succulent, eating one is almost as good as eating some pussy. I said almost! They're like a burst of sunlight. Right now I'm also in the process of getting the winter crop fava beans in, I'm still working on their trellises. Favas (really a vetch, not a bean, but classified as a legume) loosen the soil about two feet down & draw nutrients from as deep as ten feet.

The disc also includes a superb Todd Terje remix, which was recently featured on Aeroplane's [...]

"The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." —Robert Louis Stevenson I went and looked up an old musical flame from high school. That can sometimes be a dangerous or embarrassing exercise, but in this case I think the music lives up to my memories; and [...]
