Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 11, 2024 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I heard some guy on KPFA today claiming that musicians are incapable of distinguishing improvisation from composed music. In other words, all music sounds composed. Compare rap, where lyrics are clearly spontaneous.

I think the guy is full of it.

To be clear: his point was that improvised verbiage is obvious; improvised music is not.

all i got to say, is when you lose a parent, and go on a date, vet them first. i prefer not to have anyone threaten my life for money. (especially when said person comes from a seriously wealthy family. i did some digging, found the father, the PI, and the Philly detective assigned to her missing persons case. she had been diagnosed w/ multiple behavior and personality disorders. i had to call to popo.)

Blakey in this period is pretty wild, if my timeline-recall is accurate i think it was probably something from Orgy in Rhythm

It's an Oscar Pettiford composition and he is on cello in the track, that could be the plucking you are thinking might be Arsenio.

i think that plucking is distinct from Oscar's bass

i suggest it may be Arsenio because Sabu was playing with him around that time, and Sabu was a crucial Blakey collaborator at the same time, but it's a tenuous connection

hmm, just seeing that that Sonny Sharrock song that that Elvin Jones song, which came about 15 years earlier, reminded me of (or "coincided with") had Elvin Jones playing on it! (which, really - i should have remembered immediately, considering my fondness of ask the ages)
...it's the melody lines that remind me of each-other; but probably the percussion had something to do with it also.
