View DJ Peter's profile |
Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

I really love this band. I mean, of course Clifford Brown and Booker Little are more notorious.
Max's politics are fully integrated into his music by this point. (Bridgewater's composition here inspired by the Scottsboro Boys)

Also, Mrs. DJP's photo is excellent. She doesn't waste her time with dumb New England churches the way some do.
