  1. 100 years after John Coltrane’s birth, secret tapes are emerging. What can they tell us about jazz’s great rulebreaker?
    By Ammar Kalia

  11. For Monday, listen to Miles Davis' "He Loved Him Madly," from "Get Up With It" (1974). Begins ambiently, then develops a slow pulse. Haunting.

  12. New blog post: "What the Next Note Knows"

    Miles Davis, W.E.B. Du Bois, Margaret Fuller, and Thelonious Monk walk into a wrong chord. The next note is what makes it music.

  13. Good morning for some #autumnleaves. Have a few copies of this, went with the original mono press which is in remarkable condition. Probably my cleanest OG #bluenote. So great. #cannonballadderly #milesdavis #hankjones #samjones #artblakey #vinyl #jazz #jazzrecords @vinylrecords

  14. Miles together with Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Wayne Shorter.

  15. The second Japanese white label promo of Somethin' Else, which came in a King Record sample record sleeve. This 1977 pressing also sounds superb.

    Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else

    (1977 – Japan, Promo, Blue Note – GXF-3001)

  16. Dokumentarfilmperle – „Soundtrack für einen Staatsstreich“ (2024)

    Es beginnt mit einer Jazznummer. Kein Vorspann, kein erklärender Off-Kommentar. Stattdessen: Trommeln, Bläser, flackernde Schwarzweißbilder – und plötzlich sind wir mittendrin im Jahr 1960. In Kongo. Afrika im Kalten Krieg. In einem Netz aus kolonialer Gier, geopolitischer Intrige und kultureller Täuschung. Ein fantastisch gemachter und unbedingt sehenswerter Dokumentarfilm! (ARTE)
