A promo CD from a Swedish rapper named Porno who wanted my feedback. Let's hear it for FINALLY finding it and taking care of that loose end.

I'm re-listening to a bunch of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Weather Report, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and such, because I'm "watching along" with the History of Jazz classes on channel 56.

The thing about jazz (for me) is that even if you hate - its - living - guts, understanding the way the jazz musicians worked can't help but make a player an exponentially better original musician. It's an acquired taste, but many years ago I learned to sample jazz, caffeine and beer, and I've never regretted the jazz.

I'd like to start another band soon, a "combo," this one capable of using the jazz method to play whatever I or we want as follows: get 4 or 5 "virtuoso" musicians who are not too addicted or arrogant or scared to play with other virtuosos, come to play a 4-hour gig with nothing but a couple rehearsals and some chord changes and your axe, listen to one another all night and lead/follow the improvs wherever they go, compose new material standing on stage all night, fascinate and please the audience, and exceed what you yourself played last night whenever humanly possible.

Also, you would not be allowed to toss off a bunch of non-melodic random banging and crashing and pretend it was avant-garde improvised music.

The music would have rhythms and melodics and harmonies and it would probably owe things to fusion, r&b, funk, post-bop, cool jazz. The band would not have "influences" because nobody would be attempting to mimic any previous artist, let alone cover his or her records. The only covers allowed, if any, would be entirely new arrangements, and only when there was an arrangement so interesting that it badly needed to be performed. The band wouldn't sound like anybody else in town, because 5 individuals doing real original work don't sound like another 5 people. And that's why nobody can steal my idea -- you can have a band like this too, but it won't sound like mine (nor would you want it to). I have no idea if you'll make much money, but I'd do it anyway, and I think I'd get some bookings -- because we wouldn't be "playing trash can lids and calling it avant-garde."

Anyway, I"m listening to my favorite jazz again.

Jay, you can't honestly tell me you're listening to this. If you are, then you'd better just come over to my house so I can give you the beating of your life.

...then steal your sweet Hall & Oates album (and secretly listen to it.)

This is what I'm rockin'

I never knew that the Kinks were so freakin' awesome.

I stand corrected.
