  1. Jazztodon artist of the week: Randy Brecker!

    “I’ve enjoyed being a so-called ‘sessions' player, or as we were known then as 'studio cat.' All the music was related and as long as it was professionally done and everyone was a professional musician – knew how to play in-tune, knew how to play with good time and the right kind of feeling – then the particular type of style of the music wasn’t as much a concern for me. I’d heard it all as being connected – just different styles of American music.

    But, I also wanted to make a living. Some guys didn’t want to play all that stuff. I remember asking the great trombonist Slide Hampton, and I was playing with him a lot, and I asked him, ‘Slide, I’m doing a lot of studio work on the side, and I’m back in town, do you want me to help you to get into that?’ And he just didn’t want to do that.

    So, it comes down to a personal choice, but I also enjoyed that kind of work. It wasn’t just making a living at it.”

  11. Aktuell in der #HörBar der #nmz: Koppel: Story Of Mankind – A Requiem — … Die Brüche in den Gestaltungsmitteln zwischen Song und Klangstudie sowie Jazzpassage tragen zur Irritation und Verschiebung des Gewöhnlichen bei. Aber reicht das aus, wo es doch auch um das Bodenlose – den Krieg und die Geschichte der Menschheit – geht? …

  20. #RandyBrecker shows up in all the best places.

    "The remaining track, “Meeting Across The River,” is among the shortest things Springsteen has written (at 3:16), but it is also among the most striking. It's a quiet, slow number pitting Springsteen’s best vocals ever
    against the bop wanderings of trumpeter Randy Brecker. Between this and a great melody, the track should become a Springsteen classic."

    Also, can I go back to September 1975 and see Grover Washington Jr and Bobbi Humphrey live!
