The title makes up in specificity what it lacks in evocative poesy. I've tried to avoid most of the obvious tracks (classics, either by virtue of being classics, or by virtue of being played an awful lot.) What remains is, I hope, some sense of the continuing magic of Blue Note Records during its finest phase.

Today Sam Rivers died. He contributed greatly to the genre called "free jazz" and "avant-garde jazz." He was amazing. This is in tribute to him and the genre he helped develop.

*cover by Van Gogh. The Yellow House (1888)

Holidays are finally here, and it's time to chill the fuck out and do some serious listening. Here are eight tracks including music by Charles Tolliver, Eric Dolphy, and Frank Wright.

when will the rain stop....eight tracks including music by Dr. Lonnie Smith, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis.

Eight tracks including music by Decoding Society, James Blood Ulmer, and Miles Davis.

Twenty-two tracks including music by Tony Williams, Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter. The thread that connects this music is Tony Williams' drumming, starting with recordings by his own band, wandering back eventually to his earliest recordings as a teenage drum prodigy.

Williams varied the shape of his rhythm to react to the emotions of other band members as he drummed. He could change his intensity, texture and mood within the span of a finger snap, in surprising sensible ways.
