quote:Unfinished Sympathy" -- the group's first classic production -- is a tremendously moving fusion of up-tempo hip-hop and dancefloor jam with slow-moving, syrupy strings. Flaunting both their range and their tremendously evocative productions, Massive Attack recorded one of the best dance albums of all time.
Take Five was de grote jazzhit eind jaren '50 en begin Jaren '60; wat eigenlijk opmerkelijk was omdat afwijkende maatsoorten vaak als "te technisch" en ontoegankelijk werden gezien, maar dit nummer heeft een uitstekende "drive" waardoor het alles behalve gecompliceert klinkt.quote:"Strange Meadow Lark" opens with Brubeck playing rubato, though there are overtones of 3s and 4s. And the Phrase lenght is an unusual 10 bars. Dave's performance througout is simple and expressive with fine support from the wistful, dream-like saxophone of Paul Desmond
quote:His 12-year stint with Brubeck made Morello a household name in the jazz (and drumming) world, and on the quartet's recording of "Take Five" he performed one of the most famous drum solos in jazz history. "When people use the word technique,' they usually mean speed,'" Morello says, commenting on the solo. "But the Take Five' solo had very little speed involved. It was more about space and playing over the barline. It was conspicuous by being so different."
After leaving Brubeck in 1968 Morello became an in-demand clinician, teacher and bandleader. He has appeared on over 120 albums, the latest of which is his own Going Places, released last year (1993) on DMP. He has written several drum books, including Master Studies, published by Modern Drummer Publications, and has done an instructional video for Hot Licks titled The Natural Approach to Technique. Morello has won countless music polls over the years, and was elected to the Modern Drummer magazine Hall of Fame in 1988.
Morello says that the secret to technique is relaxation. "It's a matter of natural body movement," he explains. "When your hand is relaxed, your thumb isn't squeezing against your first finger and your wrist isn't at some funny angle. The stick just rests in the hand in a very natural position. When you strike a practice pad, you should be able to hear the ring of the wood stick. The average person chokes the stick, and that comes through on the drum. The whole thing is relaxation and letting the sticks do most of the work.
"Technique is only a means to an end," Morello stresses. "The more control you have of the instrument, the more confidence you will get and the more you will be able to express your ideas. But just for technique alone - just to see how fast you can play so you can machine-gun everybody to death - that doesn't make any sense. Technique is only good if you can use it musically."
Throughout his career, Joe Morello has embodied that ideal to the fullest, achieving renown for both his technique and his musicality, and inspiring generations of players through the example he has set of always striving for excellence.
quote:"Inaba has a way of playing a folk song that sounds traditional and then building it into a whirling cataclysm that sounds traditional only in the way that hurricanes, monsoons, and blizzards are traditional. And somehow he does this with the same acoustic guitar and voice that he began the song with. Nowhere has this been more evident than on this naked solo performance. Includes lyrics in Japanese with English translation by Alan Cummings."
quote:And that word "our" also makes clear just how important the concept of group improvisation was to Coleman's goals. Anyone can improvise whenever he feels like it, and the players share such empathy that each knows how to add to the feeling of the ensemble without undermining its egalitarian sense of give and take. Their stark, thin textures were highly distinctive, and both Coleman and Cherry chose instruments (respectively, an alto made of plastic rather than brass and a pocket trumpet or cornet instead of a standard trumpet) to accentuate that quality. It's all showcased to best effect here on the hard-swinging "Blues Connotation" and the haunting "Beauty Is a Rare Thing," though pretty much every composition has something to recommend it. All in all, This Is Our Music keeps one of the hottest creative streaks in jazz history going strong.
Nee, dan inderdaad nog liever een instrumentale Peter Gabriel, zoals deze soundtrack van de film Rabbit-Proof Fence.quote:Op woensdag 28 april 2004 21:36 schreef Summoner het volgende:

http://www.musthear.com/reviews/onthecorner.htmlquote:An electrified and multidimensional burst of ass-shaking funk straight from the master himself. If Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix took a space ship to India together, they very well might have come up with something approximating On The Corner.
This utterly unique and unprecedented recording was savaged by a lot of the critics of its day. They blasted Miles for creating a new "anti-jazz" that fundamentally violated the genre's integrity. Reviled as the jazz anti-Christ, his playing on this recording was indeed demonic. His trumpet spits out wah-wah distorted licks of fire and nastiness, and he grinds on the organ like it was a cheap date. He masterfully tangles and intertwines the varied sounds of the sitar, conga, electric guitar, tabla, organ, and electric bass to create thickly-layered rhythms of dazzling complexity. He throws in some heavy licks on top of it all, hitting hard with quick and punchy bursts from his horn that make the groove throb.
This explosive session is anything but harmless, as it still remains the album that the purists most love to hate. Brimming with the risky inventiveness of untested ideas, Miles pushed the envelope a little too far for many of the less visionary critics with On The Corner. If Bitches Brew was the first bombshell Miles dropped on the jazz world, this surely was the second. Still, with both recordings, Miles showed why its better to burn as a devil in the fire than rot as an angel in the wings.

Voor de Zorn-completisten zal ik ook nog even vermelden dat JZ heeft bijgedragen aan de linernotes van deze verzorgd uitgegeven cd.quote:Carl Stalling was a visionary whose work deserves consideration among the finest American avant-garde music ever recorded. As these 15 selections from WB cartoons dating between 1936 and 1958 attest, his cut and paste style — a singular collision between jazz, classical, pop, and virtually everything else in between — was unprecedented in its utter disregard for notions of time, rhythm, and compositional development; Stalling didn't just break the rules, he made them irrelevant. That in the process he created music beloved by succeeding generations of children is more impressive still — perhaps even unwittingly, Stalling introduced the avant-garde into the mainstream, and as popular music continues to diversify and hybridize, his stature as a pioneer rightfully continues to grow
Tof, erg koele cd (en band) heb ze in Waterfront gezien en vond het erg de moeite waard.quote:Op dinsdag 4 mei 2004 17:16 schreef nipeng het volgende:

Intens, dynamisch en vol drive.
Lange ingewikkelde nummers die bijna geheel instrumental zijn.
Heb ze afgelopen zondag voor de tweede maal live mogen zien. Daar heb ik meteen hun cd's gescoord.
-Edit- Mensen die Pelican en dat soort bands kunnen waarderen moeten deze plaat eens beluisteren. Het is wel wat intenser dan Pelican.
quote:Weird bleeping synth melodies hover over skittish almost-techno rhythms, shimmering washes of synthesizer hum, and even some slide guitar! The sticker on the cd calls them "Norwegian's Loungecore Kings". Not sure how accurate that really is, but this definitely has more in common sonically with Depeche Mode or the Pet Shop Boys that it does with any metal bands I can think of. But don't get the wrong impression. This record RULES! Finally a metal band, that instead of talking about how much they love Depeche Mode or some other gloomy pop bands, and maybe even covering a Depeche Mode song once in a while, actually writes gorgeously catchy and sweetly depressive songs that rival those of any of their influences. To me this sounds like a more electronic Angels Of Light, or a metal flecked Magnetic Fields, or Dntel or the Postal Service covering Katatonia with Michael Gira on vocals. So so good. Took me a while to get over the silly and garish cover and the 'loungecore kings' sticker and the goofy new band member names (Clubshoes, Tore Jazztobakk, Hi-Fi Haavik, and Espen Weltschmertz). I was smelling 'jokeband' for sure. But the more I listen to Frysh, the more it reveals itself as a decidedly rich, multi-layered tapestry of perfectly morose, exquisitely crafted, bewitchingly dreamy techno pop gems. SO recommended!
