Artistic Partnerships

I had intended for my next post to be about America's socio-economic economy, but I'll save that for a little bit later. I was just reading through my normal load of publications and I ran across a brief article that bothered me so much upon reading it that I just had to write something about it. NME reports this morning that John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page got tired of waiting for Robert Plant to make up his mind about doing a new tour with Led Zeppelin and they're just going on without him . Considering how late to the game I am to one of the best bands ever, I cannot feel right in saying whether or not this must stand, but I know this certainly bothers me. Maybe it's a matter of perspective, but at what is the art still pure from its source when the authors are missing? Is Led Zeppelin still Led Zeppelin if Bonzo's son is playing the drums and some other dude is doing all the singing? When it was 75% original band and things were kept in the family for the ot

To Be Young, Gifted, Black, and a Jazz Enthusiast: Apparent Needle in a Haystack

About a month ago, Patrick Jarenwattananon of NPR's A Blog Supreme  put together a group of lists of recent gateway jazz albums from prominent young jazz enthusiasts and bloggers.  The Jazz Now Project was a rather brilliant idea and opened up a lot of discussion and awareness about the future of jazz and really shows what the field looks like right now.  Early on the the culmination of this project, Jarenwattananon opened the submission of suggestions not only to those he specifically asked but also to other readers of the blog and on the email list.  So it didn't take me long for me to submit my own Jazz Now list .  (And special thanks to him for linking the post on the compilation of Jazz Now submissions. I got my highest hit count yet of 29 readers because of him. I really need more readers.) When I emailed him the link to my blog for submission, Jarenwattananon thanked me for my list and mentioned that I was the only black guy to have sent anything.  He figured that this

On my 2023-- A Year Whittled Down to Just One Story

Image
It has been my lifelong ambition to never own a pet. Pets are impediments to personal autonomy. They're tethers to an unchanging state. They're the non-thumb having maintenance of the status quo up until the moment where it's not, where they cause damage-- to your property, to themselves, to your schedule, to your finances. I've never seen the emotional benefit of owning pets. For the price of always having to deal with some new hair that invades your belongings, we receive a warm body with a face that doesn't speak your language. The spontaneity in life that comes with having pets isn't from your deciding to change plans and stay out at night later or go off on some far off trip at the spur of the moment; such zigs and zags are a result of that supposed loved one running off into the neighborhood because of a loud noise or eating something left out on a counter that has to be pumped from their stomach at an exorbitant cost. At some point in my life,
