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.

Also, do you feel like you can tell a Soul Note from a Black Saint. I've never fully understood what the distinction is/was.
DJ Peter:
So... no.

And, yes, no clue as to pattern for a release being on Soulnote or Black Saint.

He supposedly left Thad Jones & Mel Lewis because he wasn't getting enough solo space: in a band full of soloists he was featured heavily... but you know you play more in a small group.
