Журнал

Odio a los atascados oyentes del Jazz que sólo conciben "lo clasico" cómo "verdadero Jazz", igual con la música académica.

En fin, me cago en las melodías a lo random del género D:

Estoy segura de que si Thelonious Monk ó beethoven vivieran sentirían vergüenza de usté y su filosofía de nostalgia absurda, parcelamiento músical y retroavance ._.

PD: Lo de las parcelas se lo copié a John Zorn u.u

As with just about every year, there were way too many albums I loved for me to keep the list small. I thoroughly enjoyed everything on here, and it took some effort to arrange them all in a specific order. Also, the order doesn't directly reflect my ratings in the other journal, as my opinion on albums change over time.

You know the drill, just like the 70s, 80s, and 90s lists. Too much good stuff, so unfortunately knocked off were Christian Scott, Hiromi, Robert Glasper, Steve Lehman, Drew Gress, Brad Mehldau, Susie Ibarra, The Bad Plus, as well as a bunch of great big bands (Guillermo Klein y Los Guachos, Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, Adam Lane's Full Throttle Orchestra, Exploding Star Orchestra) and European groups (Polar Bear, Led Bib, Acoustic Ladyland, Portico Quartet, The Thing, Zu, Esbjörn Svensson Trio). Also unfortunately cut were albums by veterans leading young bands including Wayne Shorter's fantastic album Beyond The Sound Barrier with his new quartet featuring Brian Blade, Danilo Perez, and John Patitucci, as well as Charles Lloyd's Rabo de Nube with the quartet of Jason Moran, Reuben Rogers, and Eric Harland.

This mix was made with the treats /tricks in the form of songs, sent to me by the wonderful folk from the Monthly Mixtape Group, for the character I picked to dress up as for Halloween.

It's all about Dustfinger, the fire-eater from Cornelia Funke's Inkheart Trilogy

Same deal with my 70s and 80s list, not a definitive best of, just good stuff. Again, good stuff cut, so no albums by Myra Melford, Gerry Hemingway, Chris Cheek, Michael Brecker, Danilo Perez, Marty Ehrlich, Butch Morris, Don Byron, Jon Jang, David Binney, Sam Rivers' Rivbea All-Star Orchestra, or The Vandermark 5. Also cut was the posthumous Charles Mingus Epitaph album, an over two hour work utilizing a 30-piece orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis, John Abercrombie, George Adams, Randy Brecker, John Handy, and Bobby Watson, as well as Trey Anastasio's unusual one off side project Surrender to the Air, an avant-garde jazz group featuring Sun Ra alums Marshall Allen and Michael Ray, John Medeski from Medeski, Martin & Wood, and guitarist Marc Ribot, which is, obviously, much different from his better known jam-/folk-rock work with Phish and his solo albums.
