• SOMETHING FOR LESTER

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  Lester Young was born in 1909 and died before he reached fifty, so when we celebrate his hundredth birthday, it is with the wonder that he existed at all — and the sadness that his feelings were often “bruised,” to use his evocative word. Just recently (Nov. 27, 2009) the drummer and swing master Hal Smith ...

  Every week KEXP brings you a musical subject in the time it takes to play just one song. We call these stories KEXP Documentaries. They’re a mix of interviews, storytelling and music.

• Common Feat. John Legend - “Strange Fruit” (Prod. By Kanye West)

  
  The Smoking Section — Authority: 647
  They Say (get it?) this soulful gem was meant for Finding Forever (a.k.a. Common’s 2nd best album–yeah I said it before .) I say they most likely didn’t get to clear the Billie Holiday sample . Either way, with Common , ‘Ye and John Legend planting seeds on the same track = a ripe and blooming ...

• WHAT’S THE MAGIC WORD?

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  Before recordings and sound film changed the world, music didn’t travel well.  Myth says that you could hear Buddy Bolden’s horn miles away, but trumpet players know that is unlikely.  You certainly couldn’t have the complete Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings on a little box in your shirt ...

  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  Between 1953 and 1957, John Hammond supervised a series of record dates for the Vanguard label.  I first heard one of those records — the second volume of the THE VIC DICKENSON SHOWCASE — at my local library in the late Sixties, and fell in love.  The Vanguard sessions featured Ruby Braff, Shad Collins, Buck ...

  OutGayLife.com — Authority: 159
  I promised not to waste any more space on Carrie Prejean unless it was discovered her parents were Dom DeLuise and Billie Holiday. Unfortunately that background is just a silly dream. Feel free to call me a liar. There is lots of pearls clutching over Prejean and her “ scandal .” As mentioned before, why ...

  Wale Attention Deficit Pitchfork Review: 6.6/10 It’s no secret that the Internet is hurting rappers. Hurting their record sales. Hurting their ability to control narrative. And, perhaps most crucially, hurting their ability to self-edit. Flip cam freestyles, track-a-day mixtapes, local radio interviews ...

• THE ELUSIVE MR. WILSON

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  Although I have tried to hear all the recordings Teddy Wilson ever made over more than half a century, the man himself was harder to find.  True, I did hear him in person several times at Newport Jazz Festival concerts in New York City, once at the Highlights in Jazz concert series, at The New School (alongside ...

  Popdose — Authority: 616
  Drummer Ted Sirota and his band Rebel Souls have a new record out called Seize the Time (Naim Jazz, 2009).

• HOORAY FOR HANNA!

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  The singer Hanna Richardson is one of our hidden treasures — lightly swinging, earnest without being over-serious, matching her mood to the song.  I’ve most often heard her alongside bassist Phil Flanigan (her husband), guitarist Chris Flory, and others of equal stature.  Here she is, cheerfully sweeping away ...

• PETRA and ANDY REWARD US

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 131
  One of the many pleasures of the 2009 Jazz at Chautauqua was hearing Petra van Nuis and Andy Brown perform in front of a live audience, and I think the performance clips I’ve posted are solid evidence of their talents.  I was hoping that the duo’s new CD would provide the same experience.  Sometimes, of ...
