The original “Evil Ways” recording (from Bobo Motion), by Willie Bobo. I had the great honor of sharing the bandstand with Willie’s right hand man, Victor Patoja. I was in the last band that he played with before he passed away last year. Man did Victor play with a lot of musicians. His first... -

The ending was the repeat groove on the original vinyl. It's what your needle would skip on at the end of the record so it wouldn't damage itself. It was originally intended as a bit of a joke. It was recreated for the cd/mp3. -

Nothing against Glenn, but I dig the man that wrote it. Allen Toussaint is a living treasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAFOz5GA8I Just for kicks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS4IjnVNfus&feature=related -

Love Marty Robbins. Don't worry about me is one of my Favorites. I almost laughed when I saw Burl Ives doing Cool Water, but I listened and he doesn't do a bad job. Bob Nolan from the Sons of the Pioneers wrote incredible songs. "Way Out There" is one of my favorites... -
The Good Neighbor Policy; Latin music in the 30's and 40's....
The quintessential latin song about coffee, Eddie Palmieri’s “Café”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRahInPBzFo -

I just saw a posting for a 80’s obscure jazz music video, which I never knew existed until today. Ray Anderson is one of the most original musicians that I’ve ever heard. Way back in the 90’s I had the good fortune of seeing him at a jazz club/loft in Long Beach. I say that I had the good... -

Jazz
The album that I always use as a barometer for general ability to appreciate jazz (or music in general) is Stan Getz “Jazz Samba Encore”. I’ve only ever found one person that didn’t appreciate it. That’s saying something. Ironically, the one person was the owner of this site. I pretty much gave... -
Jazz
I do think that some people have the ability to both understand and feel jazz from the get go. For me as a teenager though, jazz was music that intrigued me, but I'd be lying if I said that I fully understood it at that age. On top of that there was some awful jazz going down in the 80’s... -

The Good Neighbor Policy; Latin music in the 30's and 40's....
This has been an interesting thread and it’s been hard for me not to post to it before. For one thing, the term “Latin” encompasses a lot of different music. In fact the musical styles are so different, that to me it is a disservice to lump it all together. The cartoons really bear testament to... -

No Critiques is probably the only song written about a conversation between a peacock and a crocodile. From what I’ve been told, the peacock tells the crocodile that he’s a “horror” to look at. The croc answers back that the peacock is the king of the birds and is beautiful, but if he stopped to... -

The Four Freshmen sure straddled the line between being jazz-hip and the “whitest” group on the planet. For the most part, I like to think of them as really hip. There’s just no denying that they had awesome harmony. The lead-voice-on-top sound was heavily borrowed by Brian Wilson of the Beach... -
Jazz
Wow. Thelonious Monk playing Blue Monk is as classic as it gets, in all seriousness. Some people will never “get” jazz. Others can only appreciate some incarnations. And yet others may develop an ear for it with a little persistence and exposure. The thing is though, if you don’t have the ear... -

Listening two two greats (J.J. Johnson & Kai Winding - actually 3 if you count Don Sebesky who did the arrangement) on My Funny Valentine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jm6-GBUPBA
