On Saturday night, I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to see the amazing guitarist Marc Ribot play. The show was filmed, albeit with a stationary camera. Here is.
The great jazz trumpeter has passed, way too young. I saw him play with Other Dimensions in Music (also featuring William Parker, Rashid Bakr, and Daniel Carter) in Atlanta in.
The great free jazz drummer has passed. Here's a clip of him in possibly my favorite jazz band of all-time, Last Exit, with Peter Brotzmann, Bill Laswell, and Sonny Sharrock..
For your Saturday night, Louis Armstrong in Copenhagen, either 1933 or 1934 (sources use different dates). This has to be one of the first recordings of live music on film..
In 1971, the film Zachariah was released. I had never heard of it until last night, but it seems to be a weirdo western starring Don Johnson, Dick Van Patten,.
Ornette Coleman's 1980 attempt to put together an all-white cover band of his own songs in order to create an audience for his music, since white people were more willing.
Another great one is gone.
The great saxophonist David S. Ware has passed at the age of 62. I knew he had been sick for a long time. He received a kidney transplant 2 years.
