After thinking of him as a talented but middle-of-the-road pianist, I have a newfound respect and admiration for Peterson after my piano teacher recommended I use one of his books to help me learn the instrument. I spent time watching some footage of him, and damned if he isn’t REALLY GOOD.

Yeah, he's very light on the keys, but you realise after watching for a while that he's incredibly deft. Mind you I tend to think that when I watch pretty much any jazz pianist!
Ella was really the star here, THO'. The concert's from 1980, I think the diabetes had already affected her health by that point, but the voice is still flawless. Musically it's about as 'easy' as it gets but it works like a balm, you really fall into it.
The video quality's poor here but the sound's OK...

The American Bandstand kids dance to, and rate, "Arnold Layne":

Warner Bros. released NO Hüsker Dü 7-inch singles in the US - not even promos. That's weird.

I don't know if this sort of thing happens to other people here, but every now and then I'll wake up in the morning with a tiny fragment of a song in my head and no idea what it is, and it drives me nuts. Usually it's more musical than verbal, but this morning it was a fragment of lyric - with some idea of the tempo and meter/scansion, but no melody or chords:
... no childhood / Is your timeline so...
I finally had to Google it. It's "Ice Cream Phoenix" by Jefferson Airplane, and even after I saw the lyrics around those, it took me a while to conjure in my head the music that went with them (and I've heard the song innumerable times); turns out my sense of the tempo and scansion was off, too.

Looks like people have been buying special coloured vinyl Taylor Swift albums, and getting some Cabaret Voltaire instead. Don't know what the A-Side is though.

Apparently she got the first disc of this comp.Interesting that Stephen Mallinder didn't recognise the correct version of his own track. Shouldn't recycle his own ideas. Wouldn't mind a copy of that, wonder if I order the album, I'll get that? The only similar thing I have is Alien Sex Fiend's Maximum Security which is some jazz album. I never figured out what album it actually is, or who by, I should play it to google sometime see if it recognises it. |
