Dalis Car - The Waking Hour

Electrical Field of Love by Harriet Tubman & Georgia Anne Muldrow

Yowza! Good stuff. Lenny raises the roof. The Cathedral of Saint-Louis-des-Invalides, where Berlioz premiered the Requiem in 1837. It's also where Bernstein conducted his performance, recorded in 1975.

I think we're long overdue for the last rock (and roll) record.

6/18/64 (#1 to 6) - Originally released in 1964 as Little Barefoot Soul (Prestige 7335) 8/12/64 (#7 to 12) - Originally released in 1965 as Chun-King (Prestige 7351)

And due to conflicts and overlaps, I'm missing quite a few concerts I would like to see as well.

Marcelle Meyer again - her Ravel is fantastic. She learned the music from Ravel's favourite pianist, Ricardo Vines.

Pat Labarbera is coming to Boston as part of Tony Levin's group in May. I've never seen him. Might be time to rectify that. I've been trying to find an decent priced copy of his ballad CD, "Deep In A Dream" for a while now without luck. It seems to only be available in Canada.

Love this box set!!! Third time listening to it in its entirety(on disc 3 as of 03/19/26.

This morning: Disc 1 with the concertos.

Mario Adnet & Philippe Baden Powell “Afro Samba Jazz - The Music Of Baden Powell” Adventure Music cd Another excellent recording from Adventure Music, perfect music for this morning.

Would really be interesting but honestly, I don't feel like registering on all these sites just for such one-shots. (But if anyone happened to have a download account and would be wiling to share a pdf of the article, then - yes, I'd of course be interested ) It's a subject that has been debated under countless angles through the decades and in order to understand thse debates it would always be good to know (or be told) what the "agenda" of the author(s) is. An all too "white WASP-centric" perspective to try to understand what happend when R'n'R popped up in 1955 IMO misses part of the point. But even if you stick with the "white" angle then the bottom line often just is that "the time was rife". Yet a LOT that clearly laid the groundwork had happened before.

Some of you probably already know that people in academia have written on the start of rock music - some of the articles are good; some are not good. One example is Richard Peterson's "Why 1955? Explaining the advent of rock music" available in the link below (originally from the journal Popular Music, 1990). Each of you can decide whether Peterson's article is OK or not. https://www.jstor.org/stable/852886
