Guest Chaney Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) This is an excerpt from a piece in the December 28, 2003 New York Times: THE LOWS Tasteful Imitations and Sagging Follow-Ups Jon Pareles, Neil Strauss, Ben Ratliff and Kelefa Sanneh listened to a lot of bad pop music in 2003; herewith, their least fond recollections. ... RATLIFF I think this was a bad year for jazz records but a good year for jazz in the larger sense. I go to clubs all the time and I hear lots of interesting things. And then I hear tons of records that are just like calling cards and placeholders. The major labels have figured out a way to make more money by signing soul singers and folk-pop singers. The tiny labels are troubled and low budget. A lot of incredibly good groups are not finding a way to represent themselves on record. STRAUSS Did all the Norah Jones Grammys and success help or hurt? RATLIFF I don't think it really had any impact per se on jazz music. But I think it reorganized the priorities of Blue Note, which released her record. They're going to look for more people like her now and fewer dedicated jazz small-group band leaders, the kind of bread and butter of what they've always been doing. PARELES The great hope is that when you have a windfall like Norah Jones, then you can bankroll less popular things. RATLIFF That's the great hope. So far it hasn't happened. And there's a lot of nervous expectation about Norah's next record. Nobody quite knows what it's going to be like. ...

Alexander Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I'm disappointed! I thought Norah's follow-up album should be called "Have You Met Miss Jones?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 NO, the real innovator in playing USA styled guitars is Buck Owens, especially that 1976 Bicentennial Martin guitar he sported (not pictured here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always kinda' partial to Buck's patriotic Telecaster. Almost got one as a matter fact, bought a B-Bender instead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I like some Country (and probably because of it's kinship to blues & blue grass), I am admittedly out of the loop with this genre of music.. Especially with the superficial "Cutesy Pop Image" so called "Modern Country" I tend to associate it with GMC pickup trucks and road rage, mullets, people who can't complete a sentence without a double negative, flag waving jingoism, and too many discarded Marlboro cigarette wrappers & Bud Lite beer cans thoughtlessly strewn along the nation's roadways....

JSngry Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 (edited) God knows I hate Toby Keith at least as much as anybody else, but to give the devil his due, his road band, which is drawn primarily from the local Dallas talent pool, includes both African-Americans and horn players in a music that traditionally has little use for either. From what I hear, his pay scale is incredibly generous, as are the accomdations he insists on for his band. The guy's making beaucoup bucks, and he's spreading it around at least a little bit. But, jeez, is he the most irrtiating SOB in Country music today or WHAT? Edited January 2, 2004 by JSngry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
