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.

Mrs. DJP has family in Vancouver, and I in Seattle. Not the only reason I married her, but a big point in her favor.
Christina in Canada:
DJ Peter:
Re: proximity: Mrs. DJP may feel that a big advantage of marrying me is being able to fly to Seattle and avoid YYZ on the way to YVR.

An uncanny song to wake up with in your mind, but there's more between mothers and sons than is dreamed of by medical science.

So I won't go into what these specific tracks mean to me, but I think you'll get it.
(Holland dedicated this composition to his wife, also his manager I believe, after she died.)

Hey coelacanthø, great to see you as always.
Same to you, Mxter Baba!
And thanks everyone for the condolences. I'm sad but also celebratory, a la Lou Reed for that track.

Second, my beloved Down Home Records had a 1/2 price sale on used digital. I will not live long enough to give due time to the records I've acquired in recent years, thank you very much WFMU, but the experience alone of strolling the aisles, selecting goodies almost at random, and departing having spent so very little is a revivifying one.

Missed the first announcement, picked up what happened from the comments, but, again, my condolences.
Dug the Wayne Shorter-I got to see that band at NJPAC (a woefully underattended concert-MsJazz came with me, found it boring-it's pretty abstract-and read a book the whole time).
The Holland was cool-more rocking than I'd expect. (that whole set was moving indeed).
Haven't gotten through the Hutcherson Mosaic box yet, too much music, too little time...
OK, end of Monday Morning Quarterbacking...
