    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…

    New Subscription Available On Bandcamp

    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…

  • Top 40 Over 40.29: 50 Ways to Be Steve Malkmus

    When I started writing this series a number of years ago, I didn’t think I would be including Stephen J. Malkmus in the line up. My last year in college I had 7 roommates, several of whom played Slanted & Enchanted like 75 million times. I burned out on Pavement in the process, mostly through…

  • The Core Is Getting Soft.18: SketchCassette

    My mother used to tell me she got a weird feeling when she walked into vintage clothing stores in the 1990’s. She said a lot of the clothes on display looked she things was used to seeing in the 1950’s when she was growing up. It was odd for her to see the time of…

    Yes, social media can be a waste of time, and a low self esteem machine. Yes, it facilitates hate and social sniping. But – with a good roster of musical friends it can also introduce you to a lot of great new music – both in the sense of just released, and new-to-you. My latest…

  • The Marathon and the Sprint

    I don’t make best-of lists at the end of the year, but the song I spent the most time listening to in 2019 was B-Movie by Gil Scott Heron: It’s not as well known as his most famous song, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, and I can see why because it’s clear which song…
