@bourgwick before the next ep drops I wanted to mention one additional interpretation I have for a US Blues lyric. Mars Hotel is the start of an era of songs I hear as questioning the people and values of their scene, the various Movements both past and present, and the band/scene's relationship to that past, etc. They had done that some before of course, going way back, but 74 starts an era of looking back with a critical eye IMO. Ship of Fools is the super obvious example on this album obv 🧵

@mrcompletely @bourgwick I haven't had a chance to listen to the new episode yet -- sorry, Jesse! -- but I like this gloss of the song and album. Just the line "ain't no luck, learned to duck" implies that the narrator's position is one of active adaptation to circumstances. And in "Money, Money," not a song I love, the line "I sure don’t get no lovin' livin' honestly" feeds right into what you're saying.

Art Blakey to Branford Marsalis: "What I’m saying is that when Coltrane was your age, what the fuck do you think he was listening to—tapes of himself in the future?” From the liner notes of Evenings at the Village Gate.

The song "Bo Diddley" from 1958 is simply the name of the dude who wrote it and is performing it. Can anyone identify a similar thing before that date? If there were any, I would presume it would be among country blues folks, as a kind of testifyin', but I speculate ... #musicology

@mrcompletely @FateMusic Blues to Elvin, written by Elvin Jones, is the opening track on Coltrane Plays the Blues (1962).

Take my money! A newly unearthed live recording of John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy in 1961, "Evenings at the Village Gate," will be released on July 14. #jazz https://tinyurl.com/555bm79p

@mcnees @stevesilberman The proximity of these gigs to the recording of Africa/Brass in May and June 1961 is thrilling.

I'll post one more Shabaka Hutchings track for now and then take a work break and come back with some different artists from the scene. This is under his own name, from a Brownswood album We Out Here that covers many artists in UK #jazz. In addition to his #saxophone and recent shakuhachi work he's a great bass clarinet player as shown here. He's also very politically and socially engaged and most of what he does has some element of that to it.

More #music in a few

@mrcompletely You're posting about the amazing Shabaka Hutchings. But since you mentioned this album, I need to point out that the Abusey Junction track "Kokoroko" is one of my favorite moods. https://weouthere.bandcamp.com/album/we-out-here
