Doug Burr Celebrates On Promenade With Trouble

103168.1.jpg

One of the “good” things to come out of Quarantine 2020 is that a lot of musical artists are having impromptu live sessions and releasing lots of nuggets from their own vaults.

Dentonite Doug Burr recently re-released his phenomenal 2007 album On Promenade on vinyl, and we’re celebrating with a newly-released live track, “Thing About Trouble” from On Promenade.

Doug says:

“A stripped down recording of "Thing About Trouble" made at the Barn, Denton, TX, March 2020. Glen Farris is accompanying on the same Wurlitzer keyboard used in the original recording. This song is from our 2007 album, On Promenade, which has been re-released to vinyl for the first time in April 2020 by Oklahoma record label, Clerestory AV.”

Your Quarantine Needs Erykah Badu Doing Bossa Nova

Screen Shot 2020-04-07 at 8.18.51 AM.png

I don’t know how your quarantine is going, but I’m pretty sure it needs Erykah Badu doing Bossa Nova.

And, I have to be honest and say that this post has changed a couple of times because the original video I had hoped to post was a Bossa Nova version of “Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" and it was phenomenal. But between the time I created the post and tried to post it, the video went private on Youtube and is no longer available to stream. So, I went back and discovered two more “Bossa Nova” songs.

The three videos (one of which we can no longer compare) all appear to be from the same performance, and the first one I had hoped to post was preceded by a segment in which Badu let viewers “choose a room” for a song. Apparently the viewers chose the “mystery room” which contained the performance of "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" in a Bossa Nova style, and I guess these other two songs are from the same performance? These other two videos retain the same band and setting but Badu is in different wardrobe in one of the videos which means absolutely nothing. However, whatever the lack of context, I would be derelict in my duties as Eboy Internet Courier well, if I didn’t gather up the remaining Erykah Badu Bossa Nova videos and get them out to you on the quick-like.

First up is “Get Munny”

Next up is: “Umm Hmm”

And if you can find that Bossa Nova version of "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long,” would you be so kind as to let me know?

I’m not sure if there is more video of this performance, but this seems to be from ORTF TV Studio, Paris, France, on March 25, 1973.

I believe the personnel here is:

Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters November 1974 on Radio Sendesaal

herbie_hancock_bremen.jpg

One of the things I periodically do here at the music blog is revisit some of the things I picked up when I used to do a lot of tape-trading. Years ago, I picked up this little three-song Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters radio appearance and it’s been one of my favorite live recordings for a long time.

There’s something undeniable about Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. Primordial, gutteral, visceral, groove-yo-booty stuff right here. Even Pitchfork agrees.

Today, for your interstellar auditory transport, we present: Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters November 1974 on Radio Sendesaal. I don’t know if live Herbie shows are your sort of thing, but if they are, I highly recommend visiting the Herbie Hancock section over at the blogspot (yes, that’s still a thing) Never Enough Rhodes, which is currently up to 53 concert recordings!

At only 3 songs and 39 minutes, this one deserves to be on repeat.

Today’s little nugget features:

  • Herbie Hancock - keyboards

  • Bennie Maupin - reeds

  • Paul Jackson - bass

  • Mike Clark - drums

  • Bill Summers - percussion

If this type of thing whets your whistle, you might want to head over to Aquarium Drunkard and watch video from the same tour.

The Comet Is Coming: Tiny Desk

The-Comet-Is-Coming.jpg

Since you, dear friends, trust my musical explorations, I know you remember my recent post about Shabaka and the Ancestors: Soul Jazz For The End of Days.

Between Shabaka and the Ancestors, Sons of Kemet, and The Comet is Coming, I dig the musical universe of Shabaka Hutchings in a way I have dug a musical universe in quite a while. While Shabaka and the Ancestors scratch my soul/spiritual-groove-roots-jazz itch, The Comet Is Comet channels my Quarantine angst with electronics, pulsating beats and skreeking skronks and some of the most evocative playing I’ve heard in a while.

The group’s Facebook page says:

“The Comet is Coming to destroy illusions. It will manifest new realities, perceptions, levels of awareness and abilities to coexist. It is a musical expression forged in the deep mystery. It is the overcoming of fear, the embracing of chaos, the peripheral sight that we might summon the fire.

Through the transcendent experience of music we reconnect with the energy of the Lifeforce in hope of manifesting higher realities in new constructs. Because the end is only really the beginning.”

Late last year, the group recorded an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, performing tracks from Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery.

Setlist:

  1. "Super Zodiac"

  2. "Summon The Fire"

  3. "Blood Of The Past"

Musicians:

  • King Shabaka: saxophone;

  • Danalogue: synthesizer;

  • Betamax: drums

Hiss Golden Messenger Defend Public Schools

a0905398008_16 (1).jpg

North Carolina’s Hiss Golden Messenger is one of my favorite current live acts going. And not just because lead-man M.C. Taylor’s wife is a public school teacher like my own. But that certainly helps.

Hiss Golden Messenger has fought to remain a voice of light in the growing darkness. To see how they have been this for me, just browse some of the posts marked “Hiss Golden Messenger” here at Holiday at the Sea. Taylor’s honest approach to fighting for hope is something that resonates with me the way few current artists have.

The band’s new project, Forward, Children: A fundraiser for Durham Public Schools students, sees the release of a live recording from one of the band’s home-town concerts on 01/11/20 of this very year; just before the Quarantine hit. Taylor says of the release on the band’s Facebook page:

Good morning! Today, we put out into the world ‘Forward, Children: A fundraiser for Durham Public Schools students.’ This is a fully multi-tracked, mixed and mastered 15-song live Hiss album from our performance at the Cat's Cradle—one of our most venerable hometown venues in the North Carolina Triangle—on January 11th, 2020. It is available for download on Bandcamp now and will hit all streaming services on April 3rd. ALL proceeds—every penny—from this record benefit students in the Durham Public Schools system that are currently struggling with food insecurity in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. At a time when anxiety seems to be our default emotion, I realize that this is a big ask, but I implore you to donate as much as you can to help feed our kids that depend on public school in order to eat. And while listening on the streaming services is the way that many of us interact with music these days, purchasing this album on Bandcamp puts far more food on the table. Dig deep, please. There are so many people to thank in the making of this album—so many that I could easily take up the rest of this section naming them all. Special love, however, goes to the Hiss band: Phil Cook, Chris Boerner, Alex Bingham and Al Smith, and our engineer Luc Suèr, who recorded and mixed this show. When I hear a performance like this in light of where we all are now, it’s amazing what stands out to my ear: Community. Gathered joy. Spirit, and a little bit of sorrow. What a Saturday night feels like in our little shared corner of the universe. May we find those times again soon. Changed, perhaps, for the better. Thank you all for listening.

Sun Ra: Brother From Another Planet (BBC Documentary)

Screen Shot 2020-03-20 at 11.10.39 PM.png

In 2005, the BBC released a short (an hour or so) documentary on Jazz legend Sun Ra. The Guardian wrote:

"Letts's BBC4 documentary, Sun Ra: Brother From Another Planet, is an attempt to make some sense of the man whom he describes as "The Salvador Dali of jazz", who was born in Alabama in 1914 but proclaimed himself to have come from Saturn, on a mission to save the black race in particular from the bondage of planet Earth. Letts himself, however, admits that, even having voyaged extensively through Ra's back catalogue, "a lot of the music goes right over my head. He certainly appeared to be a bit bonkers," he concedes. "But to him, all this stuff was deep and meaningful and had a continuity to it. But it was hard to get a handle on. [Even] Marshall Allen, his saxophonist, admits he didn't quite get it."

Featuring Wayne Kramer, Thurston Moore, Archie Shepp, Marshall Allen and more, and interview segments with Ra himself, the documentary tries to make sense of the Sun Ra legacy. Watch for yourself.

McCoy Tyner and Freddie Hubbard (McCoy Tyner Trio at Jazztage Stuttgart 1990)

McCoy_Tyner_Freddie_Hubbard_1961.jpg

With the recent passing of jazz legend McCoy Tyner, this seems like as good a time as any to watch the 1990 1990 McCoy Tyner Trio Set from Stuttgart featuring Freddie Hubbard.

The Take The "A" Train blogspot offers the following background for the concert:

“A torrent of notes on keyboard and flugelhorn. Three decades after the photograph above was taken, pianist McCoy Tyner and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard are back together, this time in Stuttgart, Germany.

Freshly digitized from a nearly disintegrating VHS tape (while the image remains amazingly intact, reminding us about the virtues of analogue formats that at least allow for some sort of extraction), this exciting concert is the complete TV broadcast of McCoy Tyner Trio featuring Freddie Hubbard and Ralph Moore.”

Giant Sand, Live at Mad Dog Studios/The Atlantic Session (01/30/90)

R-12505948-1536611502-6236.jpeg.jpg

I don’t know if it’s still around, but when we lived in KY (roughly 2002-2005), I was part of The Sandman Series. This was a CDR series of bootlegs organized by Jim Blackman and Howe Gelb. Basically, the way it worked was that CDRs were sent out to “seeders.” I was a seeder. The seeders committed to recording and mailing the CDRs to a certain number of people (I think it was around 10 but I really don’t remember). I seeded several different discs, but the one I still return to most was called The Atlantic Session.

The core group (at that time) of Howe Gelb, John Convertino and Joey Burns recorded this set as a demo for Atlantic Records at Mad Dog Studios in CA. It was never officially released until the Sandman Series helped bring it to the light of day. As the name suggests, this is a studio recording. The band is tight and the tunes are bitchin.

The set is available at the fantastic Archive.org.

Terry and Gyan Riley Live At Oval Space (Not At the MIM Where I Saw Them)

unnamed.jpg

Thanks to a friend of mine, I had the opportunity to see Terry and Gyan Riley at the Musical Instrument Museum.

Of course I was familiar with the elder Riley’s work, and I have the The Book Of Abbeyozzud album (which Amazon tells me I’ve owned since 2003), but I didn’t really know what to expect since the evening was billed as an evening of improvised music. The website for the evening’s performance quotes Terry Riley as saying:

“Nothing I have done in this life has given me more satisfaction than improvising on these songs with Gyan. Nothing I have done can match the intuitive synchronicity we have shared, many times, on the stage.”

The evening’s music was sublime, challenging and rewarding. It spun circular rhythms and balanced scales as each player was propelled by the other. I have never seen another night of music quite like it and I will be forever grateful for the experience.

Here is video of Terry and Gyan Riley from a totally different 2018 performance presented by NTS; Live At “Oval Space.”

December 22 marked the 17th anniversary of Joe Strummer’s death. December 2019 also marked the 40th anniversary of the Clash’s landmark album London Calling.

To celebrate, let’s watch an amazing full concert from 03/08/1980 at the Capitol Theatre, in Passaic, NJ, USA. This was just after London Calling was released in the U.S. and, Jambase notes:

“On March 8, 1980 the band performed at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. The concert is The Clash at the height of their powers. Luckily video of the show has survived for posterity and reads like a blueprint in building the bridge that would connect punk with new wave and grunge.”

Cochemea Live at the Transmusicales Festival

Cochemea’s ‘All My Relations’ is one of my favorite albums of 2019.

I featured the title track on Volume 01 of my four-volume 2019 year-end playlist and the track “Asatoma” on Episode 40 of The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

Cochemea recently posted the following on Facebook and we think it’s great advice:

Les Filles de Illighadad at Chicago Music Exchange

a2226948978_10.jpg

You already know that I dig Tuareg music (browse tagged posts here). I featured the song ““Jori” by Les Filles de Illighadad on Episode 46 of The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow and have followed the group ever since. Les Filles de Illighadad join Tartit as the number of women Tuareg led groups continues to grow.

As noted in my original post: The group’s Bandcamp page says:

“Sublime recordings from rural Niger. Two very different sides of Tuareg music - dreamy ishumar acoustic guitar sessions, and the hypnotic polyphonic tende that inspires it. Guitarist Fatou Seidi Ghali and vocalist Alamnou Akrouni lead the troupe, named after the village.”

She Shreds recently partnered with Chicago Music Exchange to invite Les Filles de Illighadad to play at CME’s showroom, and to talk with Fatou Seidi Ghali. Watch the fantastic performance here and head over to She Shreds to read the interview.

Kikagaku Moyo / 幾何学模様 Live At Highway Holidays

38270386_1731931706904143_1950497876366852096_o.jpg

Kikagaku Moyo / 幾何学模様 recently posted a great live session for Highway Holidays.

We featured the song "Kogarashi” by Kikagaku Moyo / 幾何学模様 from the 2016 album House In The Tall Grass on Episode 10 of the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

In that post, I noted the band as “Fine purveyors of psychedelic rock from Tokyo, Japan” who has “has quickly garnered international attention.” That about sum it up.

I was able to see these guys live in March of 2019 and all I have to say is that if you get a chance to catch this band live, I highly recommend it. Watch the great live set here.
