Special notes for everybody
“Tryad A” for bass, drums, arpeggiator, clarinets, trumpet, and saxophone. Exploring the textures of brass and wind. The simple brass harmony is based on the direct approach taken by rap producers like The Heatmakerz.
The core trio is bass and drums playing to an arpeggio.
Stone Cold Lampin’ #8
7/21/15
I chose all jazz this week. I played something from every jazz record in the currents and also some from the jazz library. It was inspired by my friend Weasel Walter’s FB status: “do musicians who play like their asses are on fire a service and don’t wait until they die to ‘like’ them. they walk among us.”
Hour 1: Starts at 1:53 so you get a few minutes of Mouthbreather. Funny enough, he played the same song that Muad’dib played for his final number, the same lead-in as my last show. It’s a really annoying song. What are they trying to tell me? It’s all jazz, most of it was far out but I played some straighter stuff too.
Hour 2: Ellery Eskelin, Entourage Music Ensemble, Don Cherry, Kamasi Washington.
Hour 3: Alice Coltrane, Jacques Coursil Unit, William Hooker begins.
Hour 4: William Hooker ends, Phil Yost, Han-Earl Park.
