Dave Garrett Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 "___________ is like _________ on acid." It's a good bet that anyone who trots that hoary old chestnut out has likely never been on acid themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I just came across this album description: "One night in December 2010, a Moscow audience gathered to witness these three men as they worked in concert to raise a monument. Like the world's great devotional edifices their spire of sound reaches skyward, and like all spires everywhere it is intended as a probe into the heavens, a beacon and a call, an antenna. Like so many towers, theirs is equipped with a lightning rod to steal electricity from the sky and bury it in the earth. They are harnessing natural forces, bringing the skies closer." Quite dreadful and quite unhelpful as musical description. Edited to remove the name of the writer, which is not material here I think.

Dan Gould Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Has anyone discovered what "accessible" means? According to Yanow on AMG: One of the most accessible of all jazz pianists, Gene Harris' soulful style (influenced by Oscar Peterson and containing the blues-iness of a Junior Mance) was immediately likable and predictably excellent. The former Gene Harris Fanatic has no trouble understanding what Yanow is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhoots Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 If we want to go back to the days of Nat Hentoff, "fructifying." Nat had a well-worn card file, I believe, but much that was in it was his alone; no one else would go there. Lots of adverbs IIRC. "unalloyedly mesmeric" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Actually heard the ultimate 'American-college-kid-with-backwards-baseball-cap' term 'Awesome' used yesterday on BBC Radio 3, in a review of a passage from Walton's 'Belshazzar's Feast' (by a man in a suit and tie, of course). I knew the introduction of phone-ins, e-mails and rundowns of the top classical top 20 on the Radio 3 breakfast show augured the collapse of civilisation. Otherwise, 'spiritual' is the one that drives me nuts! 'It was a truly spiritual performance.'
