GREEN DAY – BASKET CASE

Video

Hey everybody! I may be the least qualified one here to play VJ, but I do listen to the music now and again.

As I've never done this before, maybe we'll dedicate this week to exposing ZG a little bit, at least in terms of the music that has been a part of my life, past and present.

Kicking off, if I had to pick one band to identify with as my musical taste, I'm pretty sure I'd go with Green Day. I remember being a young teen, maybe tween, at my cousin's house when they were playing the "Dookie" album. An odd memory perhaps, but I had been into country around that time (before it was cool, definitely). Anyway, I know I liked what I heard, and while I enjoy a wide variety of music, Green Day, and their ilk, always seem to sound just right to me.

Harry Dean Stanton – Canción Mixteca

Video 1 Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u33IStD7X6A

At 88 years old, Staton's voice was even more perfect for this tune than when he sung it for Paris, Texas in 1984. The look on Harper Simon's face in the last couple bars gets me every time.

If you haven't picked up Partly Fiction, Stanton's 2014 album, you should. His covers of "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" will blow you away. He doesn't steal them from George or Willie, but wears them like cracked old leather jacket he can't bear to part with.

Hiromi Uehara’s Trio Project – Desire

Video

Hiromi is one heckuva pianist, with a long playing & recording career yet ahead of her. That's MFSB alum & legendary session man Anthony Jackson on the six-string contrabass (his invention) and ex-Judas Priest drummer Simon Phillips on the skins.

Mathias Eick Quartet – Skala

Video

I somehow had overlooked Eick until he released Midwest, a meditation on Norwegian immigration to America, in 2015. Eick's visit to the upper Midwest inspired him to create a "road" album that begins in his home village, Hem, and travels to North Dakota, carrying Norwegian cultural sensibilities into an interplay with the American landscape. It was one of my favorite albums of the year.

This tune's from his album previous to Midwest.

The Comet is Coming – Journey Through the Asteroid Belt

Video 1 Comment

I keep my eyes on Shabaka Hutchings' many collaborations. In addition to this band, he also currently records & performs with his "Afro-Futurist" band Shabaka & the Ancestors, Afro-Carribean jazz supergroup Sons of Kemet, and the jazz-punk sextet Melt Yourself Down. Oh, and he's also recorded with Mulatu Astatke and the Sun Ra Arkestra. This video's misnamed; the track is actually "Journey Through the Asteroid Belt."
