Today's jazz at work project was:
Very tasty indeed. Can't post this at work because one, my old laptop is comatose - prayers for it's possible revival appreciated - and, two, what access I have ain't got a right click for pictures.
Tomorrow's project will be:
Got this for $16 including shipping, and it got here all the way from Germany in like 5 days - continues the Billy Bauer/Lennie Tristano vein I've been mining.
This shows the danger of downloading too much music. I downloaded this in February, played a couple of tracks, which I can't remember at all, and haven't played the rest. Worse still, I downloaded another album by the same band in January 2012 and most tracks are again still unplayed. Alongside this I must have a dozen or more albums that I have downloaded as zip files that still need adding to itunes.
One of my least favorite John Abercrombie album art designs. (Another would be "Timeless", which ironically appears visually locked inside a 1980s computer game). Good album though.
Charles Atlas - To the Dust: From Man You Came and to Man You Shall Return
- "Charles Atlas are masters of tranquil deliveries, but the contents have subtle tensions that reveal themselves over a period of years. The packages were sent to you, but without a return address. Their mysteries are always just out of reach, with messages that never demand, or ask for anything in return."
- "To The Dust' is probably CA's most measured and powerful album to date. Sacha Galvanga, Matt Greenberg and Charles Wyatt forge profound epics of neo-classical, modern music, always with a heavy emphasis on melody. Tons of it. CA are master handlers of their instruments, evoking such powerful emotions with piano and guitar (and the occasional drum machine); even the casual listener will find something to love about this record".
