Remember kids: friends don't let friends "Zorn". Not even once.

A concise and funny article propping up early Zorn experiments as some kind of evil or fucked up taboo. Good stuff! 🤣

"Here is a list of things Naked City sounds like: a jazz “Revolution 9,” a broken tape of a French murder mystery, a rollercoaster on the brink of falling apart, the varsity jazz band in a mental institution, The Wizard of Gore, a man in a red velvet suit whispering something seductive and then screaming in your ear, nothing else."

Wholesome tunes for the entire family to gather around the stereophonic sound system in the living room and listen together to on a cold winter Sunday evening.

"The Sicilian Clan"(linked in the article) is still one of my favorite "smooth" jazz-noir bits after 30+ years.

Anthony Braxton last night at New England Conservatory, thanks to @avantmusicnews for the late heads up on this. Four student ensembles and one with Braxton himself navigated works by the featured composer. I don't have a good way of articulating what I saw and heard last night but it was a fantastic display of colorful, and distinct, experimental music. The Braxton unit was the showstopper, the reed players had incredible breath control, command of dynamics, and an intense attack on their instrument. You could hear their breath and the slamming of the valves all throughout the hall. What a night of (free!) music, glad I made the last minute run to Boston.

Channellers of a distinctly Cold War-era musical paranoia for well over a quarter century, #TheRemoteViewers were initially defined by the detatched voice of #LouisePetts. The group moved to an all-instrumental attack after a few albums, but Louise's eerie vocals continue to reverberate all these years later.
