So What e Impressions são o último tema e respectivo contrafact da série. Há tanto para contar da gravação de Kind of Blue e de cada uma das suas cinco músicas que se podia fazer um blog inteiro só para aí virado. Acontece vinte anos depois do bebop , em 1959, e estava já quase tudo feito, mesmo para o sexteto de Miles Davis, que não por acaso estava a desmembrar-se nesse ano. Este álbum podia ser apenas um último fôlego daquele que talvez tenha sido o melhor combo de [...]
Today is the 9th anniversary of the luckiest day in my life. The day my extraordinary bride said " I do ." I did too of course. Anyway, this post and these songs are for the sweetest, funniest, kindest, most beautiful and most patient woman I know. I Love You. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Good Good Day John Coltrane - In a Sentimental Mood [...]
With this latest episode of John From Cincinnati one has to imagine that JFC could very well be short for Jesus F*cking Christ - both the prophet and the exclamation. Towards the end of the episode, creator David Milch calls David Lynch on the surreal, and raises him a sermon on the mount, with John (as astral projection) delivering what very well could be the Rosetta Stone of the whole series. Without spoiling it too much, it sheds more light on the interconnectedness of the ensemble, and features 'my [...]
Das war mein Lieblingsbaby vor 24 Jahren. Und heut? Nein, sie spuckt mir nicht auf den Kopf, obwohl das bei meiner körperlichen Grösse keiner besonderen Anstrengung bedarf, nein, sie ist in Anstand gewachsen und gealtert und wir begegnen uns exakt auf Augenhöhe ;-) Heut ist Lieblingsbaby 24 Jahre jung geworden. Einen fetten, virtuellen Burzeltagsknutscher von Deiner Mum, Baby. Schön
Hey there. Tomorrow show last night (I know that doesn't make sense to you) was fun. Everyone was there. If you weren't, you're a nobody. Also, I was privileged enough to met a few more new people, all of whom were very nice. Except that one guy. God, what an asshole! Today I drank some booze and watched a lot of baseball. Lazy days... Hey, here's a mix tape. I scored a lot of this material from Steve, in return for his spending the past week raping my entire CD collection and my portable hard drive. [...]
Greetings from Covington, KY - home of...that White Castle half-a-block away from the plush hotel room in which I'm currently situated. After a ten-hours-plus drive, I am relaxing on a couch, sipping a bottle of Bell's Cherry Stout. There's another bottle of beer (Goose Island Bourbon Stout) on ice, waiting for The Sopranos to start. A very surreal feeling engulfed me today as I followed the exact same route I took during the first day of my cross-country trip in July of '05. At times, I could predict the way the roads bent. The [...]

Goosebumps sneak up your unsuspecting arms or your stomach takes a nosedive. The ordinary scenery you're driving by becomes instantly indelible or a moment is forever tattooed with a lyric. It's hard to say what will happen when you hear that monumental album, but the change is seismic. It's a rite of passage every music fan should experience at least once, hearing their preconceptions of what an album can accomplish expanding and exploding song by song. I asked some of my fellow bloggers—Chris, Shane, Tim, Bryan and Paul—to share the works that've had the biggest impact and influence on the [...]
one of the great things about living in new york is access. access to all kinds of cool stuff at anytime. while we don't always take advantage of what the city has to offer, just knowing we can if we choose to feels like a victory over predictability. one of our favorite places to go on weekends is the museum of natural history . i've always had mixed feelings about that place: its enormous collection of stuffed specimens from the animal kingdom is, umm, more accessible than their living relatives in the bronx zoo. but the [...]

Well, it's happening again. Another fab-o collabo as The Duke from The Late Greats and I present 20 Covers That Are Better Than The Originals. I'm almost prepared to say this is 20 Covers That Are Than The Originals, Volume 1 because lord knows there are many more than 20 cover songs that are better than the originals. One must start somewhere and so, we present this list. There are no sacred cows here. We say fuck you to some of the [...]
When you start something like ' Under the Influence ' you know that you are gonna get to hear some great new tunes and hear about artist's influences. A bonus of doing this is that you also get to be exposed to the passion that people have for music. All I can say is that if anyone in this world has passion for music it is the one and only Dubble D ! It is infectious. When I emailed him a few weeks ago, to ask if he'd be into contributing, I wasn't expecting a response in all honesty [...]
While Mike and our friends in Austin are dreaming of another day, I am heading out to Philadelphia. I am going to the baptism for the beautiful daughter of an old friend of ours. It's one of those slow and lazy Sunday mornings. Everything seems alright and you are half asleep, yet peacuful. Perfect for a little jazz. John Coltrane - In A Sentimental Mood Billie Holiday - Stormy Blues Miles Davis - So What
#48 - John Coltrane - A Love Supreme I admit I was terrfied to write this post. I still am, as I sit in my pitch dark room with just a candle lit and John Coltrane wailing his saxophone in the background. I took a good amount of music classes in college, and whenever we came around to the jazz section, I faltered trying to write about what I heard. I definitely can appreciate jazz, and do quite enjoy listening to it. But if I'm the first [...]
Prior to the show, you could just feel the anticipation in the room.... the Joo's were actually here in Los Angeles playing the Henry Fonda Music Box. Rumors were flying around that Steve Malkmus would make a cameo, but it didn't happen. No matter, D.C. Berman and crew more than held their own playing fan favorites spanning their career trajectory. Notorious for not touring, Berman & band seemed not only comfortable onstage, but heartily enjoying the experience. Head [...]
Sometimes it is a good idea to be reminded of where it all came from... So â€" to start somewhere near the (recorded) beginning, Jelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers playing 'Black Bottom Stomp,' 1926, a fast-paced track which contains a strong ragtime feel in places that displays where much of jazz originally came from, as well as the straight ahead swing of the newer music of the twenties. What is interesting about many of his classic sides is the amount of thought and preparation that went into the recordings â€" this is [...]
Before we head into the next part of my irregular series of Miles Davis posts, I thought I'd post a track by one of his many sidemen, which is one of my favourite jazz performances ever. John Coltrane - Alabama "Alabama" was Coltrane's response to the horrific bombing of a Baptist church in Birmingham on Sunday 15 September 1963. White racists planted a dozen sticks of dynamite in the church basement which went off at 10.45am, injuring 20 people and killing the four girls pictured above. Coltrane was not a [...]

R.E.M., Green Grow the Rushes. Louis Jordan, The Green Grass Grows All Around. Rosemary Clooney, Mountain Greenery. Bill Haley and the Comets, Green Tree Boogie. New Order, Everything's Gone
A mix from weeks ago. I put this list together to capture a vague unsetling mood, sort of end of time - Rome is about to fall at the of its madness- mood. The era is sophisticated like no other time before yet it's devoid of energy that push us forward as a creature. Everything seems to devolve into madness, an orgy toward destruction of some sort, even the expression of love. ...anyway, much of the list is from 2 albums: Jazz Passangers and The Last Time I Committed Suicide soundtrack. Mainly freejazz and be-bop with [...]
People still come here for music? You're all more loyal than Michael Jackson's fans. Other mp3 sites have been taking up my internet play time and I've had less time to update my own. In any case, heres a bunch to make up for lost ground. Song: Tere Hundiya Sundiya Mehbooba by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Album: Revelations by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Song: [...]
