Bright Moments

Happy Birthday Jim!!!

Music in which none of the twelve notes in the Western chromatic scale is given any more emphasis than any of the others. In the key of B flat, B flat is the most important note, F is (arguably) the next most important - those notes are given more weight. In twelve-tone music (and this is a simplified explanation), none of the twelve notes can recur until all twelve have appeared. Since none of the twelve tones is emphasized, there's little or no feeling of key center; the music is atonal - which doesn't mean it's cacophonous or chaotic; it just means that there's no key center. In jazz, besides Murphy, David Mack made a really nice album of twelve-tone music - it's pretty obscure. And John Carisi used a modified twelve-tone technique at times. More info here. thanks!!

did I mention that this cat could play?

anybody ever see this cat play?

thanks for your hard work big al - and thanks jeff for taking the reins!

I had the pleasure of seeing Cliff Almond play with Michel Camilo and Charles Flores recently. The Trio was so tight! The were SMOKIN' HOT!! Almond really impressed me tho. At one point he cut himself on his Zildjian crash - bleeding everywhere - but kept on playing. Roadie comes out with a bandaid during the bass solo - Almond plays right through and finishes the show. He never missed a beat! AMAZING!!!
