The Music and Migration Lab at @PrattInstitute has released its first podcast, this one featuring pianist & composer Dave Burrell, drawn from the Free Jazz Oral History Project. Future episodes will be released every two weeks. Next up: Joe Daley. musicandmigration.podbean.com/e/origins-ep-1…
Just putting it out there, but I'd love to do a regular column about drum breaks/breakbeats for a publication. Each edition focused on a single break, gives background on its recording, it's use in hip-hop and DJ culture etc. Each break with its own narrative history.
I recently had a conversation with one of hip-hop's greatest producers, Marley Marl. While his influence on rap music has been widely discussed, I wanted to talk with him about his roots in disco and dance music. 🧵 xpn.org/2024/03/31/mar…

"If you think that this is hate music, then it must be because you have come to it with hate." -Marion Brown, Jazz and Pop 1967

More Wayne Shorter recordings in the pipeline. Don Was: “I will say that you haven't heard the last of Wayne Shorter, let me put it that way. Wayne knew he wasn't going to be around much longer, and he earmarked a lot of stuff to be released.” forbes.com/sites/stevebal…
Second single from new Bloodmist album, "Trace". Full album out next week. bloodmist.bandcamp.com/track/cathedra…
“About a month after this interview Cecil Taylor, on his way home one morning, was set upon and beaten by several white thugs…He was severely beaten, and his hands were injured …But imagine the way the incident would sound if Cecil set it to music for you.” Liberator 1964
trio with Jeremiah Chiu and Booker Stardrum tonight at @ZebulonLA opening for Mary Lattimore, we hit at 9!
One of the reasons I post archival documents and videos on here is because people lie about the past so frequently with no accountability. We can’t have a passive engagement with history. We must engage it daily because our life depends on it.
Pre save now!!!!
For Mahalia, With love awarded the Acadmie Charles Cros Grad Prix Jazz 2023 … Thanks to William Parker, Chris Hoffman, Chad Taylor, and Kirk Knuffke thanks also to Tao Forms @aumfidelity #news #buzz #sounds #rt radiofrance.fr/francemusique/…
Putting this out there, shamelessly: I'm releasing a record in April that I am VERY proud of. Seriously, this is an important one to me. Anyone want to bring me on their podcast to talk music?
don’t let ppl downplay MLK’s radical positions today in favor of the more sanitized

Not so long ago. #artsandthepandemic “I reflect on how pre-pandemic cultures… with its obsession with authority and coherence and narrative, ill prepared us for the complexity and discord and messiness of the present.”

“Palestine, Free Speech, and Labor” From Conor Tomás Reed book highlighting the history of CUNY student Movements ✊🏾
I can't believe this has to be clarified ffs "...The idea of 4’33” is to provide a frame for listening to the sounds of the world as a piece of music..."
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
I love when I'm looking for one thing and find a whole other random thing. Nicky Siano said Richie Kaczor was doing this with doubles of a record at Club Hollywood. It's not wordplay mixing as we know it now, but this is slick for 73'/74? From RBMA:
Of all the artists who recorded for the LA-based, artist-run Black Jazz Records, keyboardist and composer Doug Carn was the most prolific — releasing four albums for the label between 1971-75 that stand as all-time classics of Black Consciousness. arsnovaworkshop.org/programs/doug-…
Just putting it out there, but I'd love to do a regular column about drum breaks/breakbeats for a publication. Each edition focused on a single break, gives background on its recording, it's use in hip-hop and DJ culture etc. Each break with its own narrative history.

I decided to get into Silver Jews today and I started with this album. One song in and I *get it* - this is incredible
Happy Born day to the spirit of the LA legend, Horace Tapscott (A clip from a documentary by Barbara McCullough— hopefully that comes out one day!)
Many Rappers have no idea what it is to spitover prime time world Thrash beats. What we did 33 years ago in song video and most of all LIVE is rare air and all you lunged vocalists…AIR you gotta find. @RealDougEFresh also taught circular breathing. @Anthrax…
First poem I heard by @SaulWilliams was Coded Language on Def Poetry Jam, and I remember looking up all the names he lists in the poem. I wouldn’t be a writer if it wasn’t for him. Yesterday I got to see him perform Coded Language and tell stories at @WordsBeatsLife 🔥🙏🏾
Last night was beautiful ✨ @JazzFoundation
i saw Richard Serra posts out of the corner of my eye today and it didn't connect that they were remebrances...i thought there was some new interview or exhibition...told myself i would look later bc I am big fan...I have traveled just to engage with his work over the years.
I feel two ways about the SC resolution: on one hand, I think it’s a necessary step to permanently isolate and deteriorate Israel on international grounds. On the other hand, I’m well aware that international law will never save anyone. Palestinians on the ground have no safety😢
Since we turning Alice Coltrane performances into records… I vote this one 👀
One of the main reasons I love diggin is that you often find shows with lineups like this: Ornette's Quartet and Alice Coltrane's group. One can only imagine. East Village Other, 1970
