Increasingly meaningless labels, oth, seem to be exponentially thriving!

I still look at Monday as the high bar for this whole direction. Not that she invented it, just that she showed.....a LOT of possibilities. They called her "Acid Jazz" then, but....really? I'm also thinking about other people, such as United Future Organization, Kyoto Jazz Massive (at times), 4Hero (at times), JazzaNova, etc, And some of the people who did their remixes. None of them really broke through in America, but the did (sometimes) feature quite good African-American female(often) vocalists. Drummers have (thankfully) evolved to the point where they can do it live with or without additional technology. So (once again) we've gotten a marketing term that creates a limited picture of what has really happened. And, dare I say, a little bit of racial pigeonholing that maybe works at cross-purposes to what might benefit the artists involved.

What about when it's non-African- Americans doing it? Retro-Neo?!?!?!

Still?

Ok, what genre is being used to pigeonhole stuff like this. My Pandora wants to know... I know what it used to be called but that was a while back...

Caught it on Kanopy this evening and felt rewarded for having done so. Recommended!

What's this about a Milt Jackson + Abbey Lincoln record? Yes please!

New name to me as well.

Or watch TV?

They are, and it's a nice minor league park.

I'm ready for cricket.

Who was the drummer?

Same here! Looks like a session made when the Quincy Jones band was scuffling on their ill-fated "Fancy Free" tour. Don't know that I've ever seen a full list of all the records that came out of that, actually...

she be rockin them Sqaure Slates! she be rockin them Mister Slates! Vote!

I call these enormous uber-thick black frames that are popular now "Mr. Slates" even though they are always rectangular and Nate's are round.
