I was gonna post here but it takes so long to scroll down to this bit that I posted my list under new thread Indulgent Music I wonder if we can ask the Moderator Isaacs to change the order so the recent post comes at the top or maybe its all too hard  |

Kenny interested to know what you think about Monk's technique? Monk's technique? Who cares? Technique doesn't mean a lot in my world at the best of times. I do seem to recall someone like Mingus saying something along the lines of "Monk has the best sense of time of any of us". Or some such. Another quote ... Kenny Weir to AJ (about 5-6 years ago): "Thelonious Monk? I reckon he's vastly over-rated ..." (What a fuckwit ...) |

Hello hello hello ...
The best thing about this particularly gloomy Saturday - being a Dunedin boy, I usually like to maintain that Melbourne winters are barely noticeable, but this one is giving me the shits - is that I have the fabulous debut CD by pianist Daniel Gassin, Rountrip, to entertain me.
This a cooking album - piano trio music that gets the sort of intense hum going that only the best of 'em do.
He's launching the album at Bennetts Lane on Tuesday and will be my guest on the Pearls on PBS on Monday (8-10pm). (Actually, the only reason I'm having him on is so that I can get him to pronounce the tune titles that are in French, thereby saving myself from looking an even bigger prat than I already do. ;D)
Other cool stuff I have with me today:
Freshly baked sultana loaf
Chicken curry and rice for din dins
Joe Henderson - Mode For Joe
Joe Henderson - Page One
Don Braden - The New Hang
Jodie Christian Trio - Reminiscing
Grant Green - Green Street
Mark Whitfield - 7th Ave Stroll
Scott Hamilton/harry Allen - heavy Juice
Gary Burton - Generations
Rob Wilkerson - Imaginary Landscape
Ted Vining Trio - Live

Well thank goodnes that Games nonsense - and the fucked hours and inability to listen to music while I am supposedly working etc - is behind me. So it's back to Saturday night with half an ear on the footy, roaming the wild world of the internet for jazz jollies. This morning I was listening to the classic Jelly Roll Morton sides and his Library of Congress stuff as well, and simply swooing with the brilliance and beauty of it all. Why do Armstrong, Ellington, Parker, Davis and so on get such ecstatic raps yet good ol' Ferd is ignored except for the hardcore few? I'm telling youse all: JELLY ROCKS! (Especially good/cool for nude dancing after having my weekly shave ...)  Sadly, those crusty old recordings aren't eyedeal for at-work consumption, so tonight I have for office delectation: Jamie Oehlers - The Assmeblers Allan Browne - Cyclosporin Arthur Blythe - Exhale Bill Heid - Da Girl (Better than Unity! Hell yeah!) Randy Johnston - Hit & Run Fathead Newman - Song For The New Man Norman Simmons - In Private Buster Williams - Griot Liberte And maybe the Johnny Hodges box I oredered from Mosaic will turn up on Monday. Fuck it! That's the last time I pinch pennies and pay surface mail ever! |

Very interested to hear how the Assemblers sounds... I'm looking forward to seeing Jamie in Melbourne again - great source of inspiration. There's lots of good gigs coming up.

Very different to Velocity and the sort of thing I've heard Jamie do at Bennetts. A real band sound, with Sam and Paul have a big effect on the approach (as far as I can hear!)
