  1. Condolences, Wayne. My brother in law got killed in a bike accident this afternoon. 38yo, father of two, 6 and 3 yo kids. I can't find words to say how stupid and nonsensical is this.
  2. The 4CDs in a row of The House that Trane Built. Any jazz lover knows most of the tunes in this compilation, however listening to them in the order it's been made gives an interesting perspective of jazz evolution and how it took different directions in the sixties. It's available on Tidal. I should look for Kan's book.
  3. Now, honoring Peter's comment Beautiful start. It's on Tidal, as usual. Waiting for the Boca Juniors vs River Plate match to start, delayed because of the rain. It's been suspended due to heavy rain. Serious (roundball) football
  4. John Medeski's Mad Skillet - Mad SkilletAvailable on Tidal most likely on Spotify as well it was released in September and they're touring these days Very lively and funky improvisation by a good band: Keyboardist John Medeski, guitarist Will Bernard, drummer Terence Higgins and sousaphone master Kirk Joseph. Sometimes good music is a great soundtrack for sports broadcasts Those talking know-it-all TV people become rather annoying.
  5. Happy Birthday, Chris! Long time no see, get back
  6. Happy Birthday!!!
  7. so sorry, Dusty.
  8. You're welcome. I'm not a fan of Wadada, too free for my traditionalish jazz taste (evolving nonetheless) but I've enjoyed this Lebroba which will get further listens. Now listening to a friend's recommendation available on Tidal Philippe Mouratoglou - Univers Solitude Jazzy into new age (kind of) guitar music with bass and percussion-drum kit. Liking it so far.
  9. A recent jazz release of an old school old times performer: Charlie Mingus More than 4 hours of music recorded in 1973 for live radio broadcast, 5CDs set titled Jazz in Detroit/Strata Concert Gallery/46 Selden. A review is available at Allaboutjazz and it can be listened to on Tidal It may not be the best Mingus' ensemble, but I've been going through this not getting bored a single tune, I'm just 4 tracks from the end, I skipped the interview.
  10. The girl in the right side got a sloppy face job. Or had low budget. Somehow her character is a muppet too.
  11. This. It sounds much better than she trying to play games.
  12. This. All this stupid ununderstandable killing is damn sad.
  13. Andrew Cyrille, Wadada Leo Smith, Bill Frisell - LebrobaAvailable on Tidal and Spotify Amazingly lyrical and enjoyable set of tunes, especially considering the at times overwhelming freeness of Wadada.
  14. Yes that I googled, but I don't get the fun part of the sack (or cojones as we would say) thing, probably for not having ever watched anything featuring him. Whatever, it must be one of those weeks for me.
  15. I'd need a lot of background on that guy to get the joke. The forklift one was more in my league
  16. Condolences, Brent. I’m sorry for your loss.
  17. Roy Hargrove. Only 49. Awesome trumpetist. He'll be missed.
  18. Awful. Have a speedy recovery. Best wishes
  19. I think I haven't listened to Children's Songs, so I'll check it, thanks for the recommendation, Dusty. I wasn't a Corea's fan until a couple of years ago. I've always appreciated his virtuosity and his harmonic proveness, he's a beast of unpredictability. At times I could hear what you mention, that melodic lyricism, but on albums like "Now he sings, now he sobs" and his stuff with Return to Forever and Miles, I found some sort of lack of focus which made me feel more like he was showing off than making enjoyable music. It's difficult to explain, however now that I've learnt some music theory and my listening skills have evolved, I can enjoy him a lot more. Maybe it's not as much his evolution as a player as mine as a listener
  20. An interesting live performance by Chick Corea The last few Corea's outputs made me think of those Picasso's words "As a child I painted like Michelangelo, but it took me all life to draw like a child". Corea always played virtuoso piano, and has evolved through many styles, but it's lately when he, in my opinion, is playing wonderful simple music.
  21. Are you waiting for Birgir's comments or Brazilnut's ban? I'm in for both.
  22. Read the first post in this page, kind of said it. To make matters worse Carvajal is injured, so the right side has been a hole for the first half. Lopetegui will be replaced, and things will improve a bit for a while, but the problem is rather deep, starting with the president and his ginormous ego. He should have listened to Zidane Now we have a bunch of players that aren't that good (like Isco), we've spent a lot of money in a goalkeeper that we didn't really need, and he's probably going to spend 600M in refurbishing the stadium instead of bringing the players that Zidane wanted to make the team keeping the pace after Cristiano left. Considering becoming an Atlético fan
  23. Thelonious Monk - Mønk It's on Tidal, from a live performance in 1963 in Denmark. Pretty swinging
  24. The forties are wonderful. Happy Birthday!!
