Gramophone magazine write: During a recent interview about his recent opera, The Perfect American, Philip Glass said: ‘The whole idea of high and low art – nobody cares about that any more.’ Throughout a prolific career spanning five decades and more than 200 works, Glass has never really cared about such distinctions either. While some composers […]
In our office we found THIS thread very useful. Not all of them were obvious to us because it turns out that we are more into blues than jazz. The suggestions are changing is though.
The story of the Allman Brothers Band is one of triumph, tragedy, redemption, dissolution and a new redemption.

The group’s mix of blues, country, jazz and classical influences, along with their powerful extended on-stage […]

There is a unique blend of southern R&B, soul, and blues that is known the world over… Closely related to the sounds of Stax Records and folks like Rufus Thomas, but with a slightly different blend of spices and it’s own distinct flavor… Studios, sessionmen and songwriters from the northwest corner of Alabama put their […]

Why do we perceive an identity between all auditory frequencies related by powers of two? How did we arrive at the notion of pitch class, as opposed to absolute pitch? Is there some evolutionary reason for octave equivalency? Humans aren’t the only primates to possess it; rhesus monkeys do too. http://www.quora.com/Music-Theory/Why-do-pitches-separated-by-an-octave-sound-the-same

After nearly a decade of historic, career-defining LPs for top jazz independent labels Blue Note, Prestige and Riverside from 1952 to 1961, piano colossus Thelonious Monk (1917-1982) arrived in 1962 at Columbia, the first and only major record label affiliation of his career. There he released six masterful, distinctive albums (all produced by Teo Macero) […]
In yesterday’s post we mentioned a Sheffield Direct To Disc recording and several readers asked me just what that was. It was the most direct method of recording possible before the advent of digital and interestingly enough it was a throwback to the original recording technique. Perhaps a bit of history is in order. When […]
TB writes: During his time in the Beatles his frustration stemmed from the terrible sound systems the band was essentially forced to use when performing. In our current time we’re used to bands being their own amplifiers, mixing boards, speakers and so on. It wasn’t like that at all back in the 1960s. Bands then […]

They tell us….. As of the spring of 1992, Jeff Buckley was focused on achieving success as a solo artist, and performed a diverse selection of songs in numerous small venues around New York. This remarkable broadcast was recorded for WFMU-FM that October, and features numerous covers, as well as material that would appear […]
ACE writes It’s pretty widely accepted that the “jester” in McLean’s song “American Pie” is Dylan, and Bob understandably didn’t take kindly to basically being referred to as a clown. McLean has never officially confirmed that he was talking about Dylan, but it’s pretty obvious he was if you actually listen to the lyrics. The […]
Bach’s initial Christmas Day Vespers as Thomaskantor was an overt display of music-making, with his Magnificat taking pride of place. For the Dunedin Consort’s new recording, John Butt has reconstructed the whole service as Bach might have celebrated it in 1723, writes David Vickers Continues HERE
Originally published November 2013 Ivan Hewett writes: Two great saxophone colossi have bestridden the London Jazz Festival (now the EFG London Jazz Festival) in recent years. One is Sonny Rollins, who despite health problems made a triumphant appearance at the 2012 festival, in his 83rd year. The other is Wayne Shorter, who turns 80 this […]
DH writes: Because it has a vibe to it that no other Stones album has. It’s the sound of dead ends, soured romance, bad breaks, sick friends, and a quest for good times that can seem futile. Not a “fun” theme, but one that holds the album together. As with the White Album, not every […]
