OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

There should be something called downright bass.

Some call it the doghouse bass

Downton Abbey Bass.

Downtrodden Bass.

yeah so i read that piece and strongo was right except that I now have the phrase "a jazz bucket, filled with masterpieces" stuck in my head

KFC currently offering an awesome jazz bucket special.

I once saw Eleventh Dream Day, and I was trying to figure out the type of fish on the back of Doug McCombs's bass. "Trout?" I asked my friend out loud. "No, idiot," said some other guy. "It's a bass.

one of my college friends wrote the following poem while in high school:

I like to sing bass
Because it rhymes with 'ass'

multiple decades of jazz (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 22:56 (thirteen years ago)

How many people buy circus peanuts a year, or were they just made all and once years ago and have been sitting on shelves ever since?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 22:58 (thirteen years ago)

Just before birth, the fates allot each man a certain number of circus peanuts; when the last is eaten he is visited by death.

multiple decades of jazz (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 23:00 (thirteen years ago)

the first one was OK, but I tired of them midway through the second & threw the rest away. I was just kind of curious about them b/c I haven't eaten them since I was prob age 5 or so. Impressively, the texture & taste is even more artificial-seeming than you'd think, given their appearance.

mod is my co-pilot (Pillbox), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 23:01 (thirteen years ago)

I'd rather eat packaging peanuts.

This is like from a high school newspaper!

Yeesh.

Funny how the "high school newspaper" genre now includes random facts from Wikipedia.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Flying Lotus, born Steven Ellison, is a special artists, guiding our ear palettes and rhythmic intuitions into complex and undiscovered territory.

i kind of like this guy for saying things like "And of course, Coltrane was just straight-up killing the sax."

Happy belated birthday, Trane!

Could have just got him a card, Joe.

And then there's Trane's A Love Supreme which all the lovers of the NOW SOUND swear by and all it is is the precursor of the Vanilla Fudge, Coltrane's worst and its good that he's dead I would say it worse than that

-- Not a bad excerpt from not a bad piece of writing by R. Meltzer to be found in Gulcher (and perhaps originally in the Voice)

not bad piece of writing, just so there is no confusion..

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 14 November 2012 11:09 (thirteen years ago)

but quote inaccurately, blame the lack of coffee.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 14 November 2012 11:10 (thirteen years ago)

It turned out that John Coltrane, like many of the great beboppers (Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie "Bird" Parker), would fall victim to the black-tar bug -- in other words, heroin.

All this needs is for "beboppers" to be in quotes and it'll be perfect.

I haven't really read this thread properly yet, but I'm going to drop what I'm doing and check it out NOW.

As a jazz fan you might find it helpful. Sure made an impression on me.

Albert Crampus (NickB), Wednesday, 14 November 2012 13:19 (thirteen years ago)

Well when I say impression, I mean more sort of like an imprint of strange and beautiful blaps

Albert Crampus (NickB), Wednesday, 14 November 2012 13:20 (thirteen years ago)

I always thought this "jazz" stuff was pretty scary but now I'm going to give it a try.

It's almost like the educational text on a kid's restaurant placemat. The only thing missing is the Word Scramble- SILEM VASID- and the Jazz Maze.

I accidentally listened to Head Hunters and think I might have heard some experimentation, is there someone I can call? ;_;

haha! sorry. its kinda funny though. they sent in the big guns! love this:

Yesterday's much celebrated "Ten Jazz Albums to Hear Before You Die" post was a starter course, an easily digestible, rudimentary entry into the storied genre that not one person on the planet disagreed with. But today, we go further. Because for every Blue Train or Kind of Blue there's a jazz album that's as good, or better, but infinitely more obscure. Here are 10 of them, culled from about 100 years.
