How Good Was Late Period Bill Evans?
The Jazz.com BlogJune 17, 2009 · 3 commentsLate Period Bill Evans: Genius or Decline?Here is a jazz paradox. Most great jazz artists make their best music before the age of 40. Yet?and here is the irony of the matter?they usually get the most glowing reviews after the age of 40. There is a certain amount of justice in this state of affairs. Jazz fans venerate the elders of the art form?and thank goodness they do. Most of pop culture, and virtually everyone in a position of power at the major re [Read more]

A Map of Sound: Arve Henriksen
ARVE HENRIKSEN SOUNDS like Gabriel himself on the trumpet, playing supernatural tones sluiced from the heavens like so much gentle rain.His voice, too, is angelic, floating above the music like a falsetto cloud, a billowing bouquet of mystery.But in the improv supergroup Supersilent, the delicate Henriksen hulks up and helps incite the sort of fire and brimstone that can only be heard when the four horsemen gallop into town.Beauty can't exist without blight, fear can't exist without delight.

Obama 'troubled' by Iran violence
I am deeply troubled by the violence that I've been seeing on television, Obama said Monday, more than two days after protests began to break out Saturday in Tehran. I think that the democratic process, free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent - all of those are universal values and need to be respected, and whenever I see violence perpetrated on people who are peacefully dissenting, and whenever the American people see that, I think they are rightfully troubled.

ROCHESTER JAZZ FESTIVAL 2009 BLOG: Day 3: WXXI Jazz Films, Jonas
In addition to the usual overflow of live talent, yesterday brought a chance to watch two late jazz greats, piano master Bill Evans and trumpet icon Maynard Ferguson, perform in concerts videotaped here in Rochester during the 1970's, and screened yesterday afternoon by WXXI at the Eastman Theatre. Despite murky sound in both cases, it was abundantly clear why both men continue to be so renowned. And even across distances of 30-plus years, Evans and Ferguson -- aided by their extraordinary sidem [Read more]

Hunch Launches Monday - But It Already Knows All About You
The ostensible purpose of Hunch is to help users make decisions. Unlike traditional Question and Answer services that act more like forums for posting on and don't remember the information that's been shared in the past, Hunch is much more systematic. It uses collaborative decision-trees to tell you what decisions other people like you have made in circumstances similar to your own. Hunch tries to avoid keeping people trapped inside options they already agree with by introducing a wild card a [Read more]

Playboy Jazz Festival plays to wide audience
Part of the reason people don't buy tickets is the awful, awful job the sound mixers do. They only know 2 levels..threshold of pain, and even louder. My ears were tired after 15 minutes from the wall of sonic mud thrown at me...making it impossible to hear the interplay of the performers...which, after all, is what jazz is about. They want to turn it up for a rock concert...fine. For jazz, it just isn't professional, and Sunday was far from the first time I had the same experience at that venue. [Read more]

Skepchick: The Metro Makes the Case for Bigotry
To Lewis, it's not about quarantining gays as second-class citizens. It's about upholding a long-standing tradition that he sees as unifying American society.Not everyone who voted for Proposition 8 is an anti-gay bigot, he said. Some of us have true, heartfelt concerns about where our society is headed.Oh, now it's clear: gays shouldn't be able to marry because straight people's ability to get married is unifying American society. Let's be clear: heterosexual marriage isn't even unifying h [Read more]

Album: JD Souther, If the World Was You (Slow Curve/Rhino)
Having re-established the Eagles connection that made him one of the most successful songwriters in America, John David Souther returns as a performer with his first solo album in 25 years. But despite being one of the principal architects of the California cowboy sound that conquered the world in the 1970s, Souther's ambitious new album bears scant comparison with that smooth country-rock style. The closest he comes are a couple of songs replete with chord changes and tonalities familiar from [Read more]

The Houston Texans Draft: Some Head-Scratching, but That's Not Unusual
The emergence of Slaton last season came as an extremely pleasant surprise, and he’s certainly won over a lot of Texans fans—but as we saw in the season finale, Slaton is not the second coming of Earl. He’s extremely good at what he does, but he’s not the bullish back that can squeeze out that one yard on fourth and inches. “Overall, it would probably have been a more sexy draft for everybody had we corralled a running back, which was a priority for us,” Texan [Read more]

The sound of color and the texture of emotions
I first saw one of his works, a large abstract piece of colors that refuse to be named quickly, during an opening in a group show at Whitewall Art Gallery in San Antonio Village, Makati. In an effort to name the colors — a kind of blue-green found at a point in the sea of a certain depth, at a certain time of day, plus a shock of flamboyant red in a shape that made it ironic, a square — and the mood whole collection of elements evoked, I had woven in my head snippets of memories from [Read more]

Music Review: Miles and Coltrane - A Tao Tribute To Teo Macero
The triad, Jing, (energy), Qi, (the flow of energy), and Shen, (the spirit), are the Tao of all that is. The fundamental of Taoism is the nature of the universe and in this there can be no light except by comparison with darkness; there can be no joy without the existence of sadness. Every action causes a counter action – all of life is a dichotomy; all distinctions are relative comparisons bound together by their mutual reference. In nature, there are no two-headed coins – love is [Read more]
