It's happened before!

Calling Allen Lowe. This gets culturally complicated, in a good way. btw, this guy is not the first place I've heard this topic discussed....that would have been about 30 minutes ago in the latest New York magazine set of mini-articles about the evolution of the plagiarism esthetic in pop music. But I had never heard of the "Scotch Snap" before, and you know, the internet hates a (knowledge) vacuum, so...I think he presents well, but obviously (now, at least...) this is a known thing, both the rhythm itself and its increased use in rapping.

Date Jordan? or A Date With The Duke? That title is confusing me, it's not something clearly understood like "Play Cole Porter" os something like that. No wonder they don't sell more records!

":Charles Brown belong to somebody else"...wow.

Who or what is this "Date" that they are playing? Will there be Peaches & Herb songs?

Not jsut on the web, anywhere digital where you can't sort by last name. You end up having to concatenate shit all the time, it's a pain in the ass.

Hey, I'm down with possibilities. Chewy, did you ever talk to John Lewis?

I've got both of Brown's Mainstream dates. The one with strings is NOT this one. Those arrangements are by Don Sebesky, and aren't corny at all. It's not a bad record, for what it is. But that combo record is glorious. If anybody doesn't like it, it's not the record's fault!

No strings on this one. Just a combo with organ (Brown), tenor, and guitar. Ballads and Blues, done to perfection as only Charles Bown could do them. I'm sure the AMG review has reservation about this being a "lounge" record or something of that ilk. Well, yeah, it is. It's a Charles Brown lounge record, because that's what Charles Brown was doing then, playing black lounges, ballads and blues in black lounges for black lounge-goers. Fuck AMG. This is a beautiful record.

Always a pleasure to hear Charles Davis.

Quite possible THE Charles Brown record of them all.

"We’ve been studying black holes for so long that sometimes it’s easy to forget that none of us has actually seen one," France Cordova, director of the National Science Foundation, said during a press conference Wednesday. "Though it is 4 million times as massive as our sun, it is so far away that mapping its event horizon is equivalent to standing in New York and counting the individual dimples on a golfball in Los Angeles," the EHT team explained in a video ahead of the discovery. Black holes are so dense that not even light can escape them, making it impossible to directly image the incredibly massive objects. Instead, the EHT effectively revealed the shadow of a black hole illuminated by the matter on the edge of the object's event horizon — the area near the black hole known as the "point of no return," where the gravity is so great that nothing can escape...

Check those old iPods, they got some stuff on them, maybe! b/w

Make 'em dance, Mark!

Chris Davis has been reverting to Ranger Mode for several years now. Glad he got that money when he did.

Think I'll put the energy into this Monday night event. I've been enjoying the various Bang On A Can projects. https://www.mydso.com/buy/tickets/anthracite-fields Julia Wolfe's Anthracite Fields April 15 | 2019 Moody Performance Hall 7:30PM Julia Wolfe COMPOSER Bang on a Can All-Stars Verdigris Ensemble This powerful oratorio, which evokes Pennsylvania coal-mining life, won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in Music. Called “unforgettably haunting” by the LA Times, this one-hour piece is set to archival footage of coal country, providing context for the dreamlike composition. Please join us in the concert hall following the performance for a moderated discussion about the work.

We'll stay home rather than just catch half a gig. I've still not heard nowhere near enough symphonic music live to miss the opportunity to hear something I want to hear live, even if it means sitting through something less, uh..."interesting" in order to do so. We got a damn good band here right now, and we are carpe-dieming. However...this weekend...think we're staying home. If anybody in the area wants the tickets, let me know.

On the radio stations I was listening to, THAT'S what was ubiquitous! Less ubiquitous, but a better record, imo: Justo Almario trying to make pop music safe for Joe Henderson, Hey, gotta love that!

Indeed I have! Good to know about him. Even better, good for him to be known!

Congratulations! Who is he?

Ubiquitous!
