  • Listening to.1: Brandon Lopez

    Today I’m beginning a new series of posts on the spring chickens. If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, you know I’ve done a series of posts called Top 40 Over 40 about musical artists who have done work after the big four oh that to my ears is as good if not better than […]

    Feel It If You Feel It

    A few days ago, the first post – reunion Folk Implosion release came out on Bandcamp. It’s got two new songs – like a double A sided single – with two additional tracks, remixes of those two songs by Scott Solter. It came out on limited edition vinyl, cassette, and unlimited edition CD. The vinyl […]

  • Minimal Resource Manipulation…

    …is the name of a label out of London UK. I’m not quite sure how I found out about them, but I ended up liking the soundscape offerings they have going so much that I bought their whole digital catalogue – 71 releases! – for something like 48 bucks on Bandcamp. It’s my new favorite […]

  • Remembering Thich That Hanh

    Today I would like to pay respects to Thay. His books had a big impact on me when my mom started having them around the house in the mid 80’s, which was how I started to get interested in Buddhism. Thay gave me the Dharma name Great Patience of the Heart during a 3 week […]

  • Top 40 Over 40.32: Double Sunrise Over Neptune

    There’s an hour left on the first day of 2022 in my time zone. Enough time left to get started on one of my new year’s resolutions: to write shorter posts on this blog, and to write them more often. Here goes. There are very few times these days when I feel like I’m missing […]

  • Top 40 Over 40.31: Oumou Sangare’s Massive “Seya”

    This album made a big impression on me when it came out in 2009. At the time, I was mostly listening to music on the car radio, and WERS in Boston played it frequently. I wasn’t going to record stores or shows or playing instruments much at that time, though I was writing a lot […]

  • Top 40 Over 40.30: Duke Ellington, 1962

    Top 40 Over 40.30: Duke Ellington, 1962

    One of the things I admire about the jazz tradition is the fluidity with which musicians move from being leaders to sidemen. Take an album like Conference of Birds by Dave Holland. I mostly knew Dave as a sideman for Anthony Braxton and Miles Davis. But then Braxton turns around and plays sideman for Holland’s […]

    I’ve started a subscription option on Bandcamp. Here’s the description you’ll find there – consider joining or telling a friend: https://jdsoundbite.bandcamp.com/subscribe The great improvisational trumpet player Bill Dixon once said in an interview that he was more interested in seeing other musicians rehearse than he was in seeing them perform. The reason? He was more […]
