      A Question for Both Musicians and Non-Musicians

      By BeatriceR · Posted

      Exposure matters, too. Today’s friction-free music distribution means you can binge fifty versions of “Body and Soul” in one afternoon; that repetition wires the progression into muscle memory even if you’ve never cracked a theory book. Add a naturally attentive ear and you get someone like Ms. TTK, who hears the changes first and the melody second. So yes, the ability exists on a spectrum, but it’s more common than you might think among jazz devotees who’ve spent years marinating in the standards canon—trained or not.

      Polydor Records

      By clifford_thornton · Posted

      Bates kept the masters when his deal with Fontana/Philips &  Polydor was finished and subsequently licensed material to Arista in the US, Nippon Phonogram and King Records in Japan, and other imprints. DA Music (Germany) bought much of his holdings in the 90s apparently as part of a debt liquidation situation. I am sure they weren’t as interested in higher budget artwork as they were in moving product, though from my recollection the CDs sounded pretty decent.

      What music did you buy today?

      By ejp626 · Posted

      Inspired by DG's glowing reviews 😄 (but also this one - https://downbeat.com/reviews/detail/a-beautiful-day-revisited), I ordered the expanded edition of Andrew Hill's A Beautiful Day.  Curious to see how different it really is. Maybe I will forgive them for not pointing out that Charles Mingus's Folk Forms (on the Penny label) is just a different incarnation of Mingus at Antibes 1960, so I shouldn't have picked that up. ☹️

      What live music are you going to see tonight?

      By Steve Reynolds · Posted

      Last night Trevor Dunn’s Proofreaders playing the music of Ornette Coleman Trevor on contrabass Darius Jones on alto saxophone  Nate Wooley on trumpet Ryan Sawyer on drums  tight 50 minute set. Darius & Nate are peaking as always. Stunning working of music that I used to listen to often years ago. Lots of fun. Ryan is a great drummer, fwiw.  last Friday Michael Foster, Webb Crawford & Joey Sullivan  Michael on tenor & soprano saxes, Webb on guitar & tenor banjo & Joey on drums Maybe the 7th time I’ve seen the trio / best set so far. Intense 30 minute piece/set Webb is incredible. Michael remains to my ears, the best saxophonist in NYC. Endless ideas and intensely quiet or threateningly loud. What a sound. Especially on soprano.   Stunning   first shows in a few weeks. Went to over 25 in April & May.
