Wayne Shorter, esperanza spalding, Herbie Hancock, & Friends – Harvest Time

Video

https://youtu.be/c0PqKOqbhrg

If you’re an 88 year old living jazz legend whose health has dictated retirement from performing, what remains on your list of unsummitted challenges? How about writing an opera? If you have Wayne Shorter’s composing chops, that’s what you do. And for your librettist, how about a future legend like esperanza spalding? She might be the most brilliant artist of her generation, and she’s offered to take a year off of work to get the work finished. The source material? The last extant work of Euripides.

Before Shorter & spalding wrote ...(Iphigenia), before Shorter retired his horn, before spalding released Emily’s D+Evolution, they played the Solidarity of Arts festival in Gdańsk. With them on this tune are Herbie Hancock, Terri Lyne Carrington (who had previously recorded with all three), and Leo Genovese, spalding’s frequent pianist.

The Thermals – A Pillar of Salt

Video

This song was probably played in the old basement. Heck, this exact video might have even been played.

This particular song is one that I can go a long time without hearing, but when I want to hear it, I want to hear it seven times in a row. I listened to it yesterday - the rest of my week is doomed.

F%#*&! Up – Turn The Season

Video 2 Comments

As a rule, I try to stay away from bands with the F word in the name. As another rule, I tend to shy away from bands whose singer only wears boxer briefs and sneakers on stage for a majority of the show.  Furthermore, I usually don't care for bands who have singers that sound like crappy hardcore singers.  For some reason though, man, I really dig this tune.

As you would imagine, this song is in no way appropriate for work. Also, the sound quality isn't perfect. Not that would would expect it to be. NXNW, 2011.
