If you in a mood for virtuoso Indian-leaning fusion music, have a taste of
Art Metal - The Jazz Raj by Jonas Hellborg
The band also has Matthias Eklundh on guitar and Ranjit Barot on drums.
Two marathon compositions, mood, Indian sounds. It IS Great.
Can you love any music after 5 minutes? That's all it took me when I first listened to Thelonious Monk's Underground many years ago. That sound really spoke to me.
It's difficult to choose just one Monk song to recommend, though. What is your favorite tune? #jazz@jazz
Work-work-work for me these days. Plus 3h total commuting time. Seems like I'm back to the fractal mold. My only escape is music. Music leads me to somewhere else, where I can truly be. Is it the same for you?
This piece comes from that somewhere else. I brought it with me out of my night wakes and my night dreams. I called it "kezɘʞ," which means "hands" in Hungarian. It's a Presto Agitato for jazz piano trio. Would you mind telling me what you think of it? If so, I thank you.
This is quite a productive time for me -- I've already released several new pieces. I plan to reach a total of 20 or so before issuing a new album. But I already know that its title will be "Shards," and that this very piece will be the last track on that album. It's a little piece for piano and Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird. The last of its species.
The picture I have chosen is the one I posted yesterday. It shows a shrew that I encountered at the lake of Rotselaar, Belgium. Those were the days of the great, unexpected flood of July 2021.
It was a peculiar and in some ways disconcerting time; nature seemed to have taken repossession of so many places, such as in fact the Rotselaar lakes. Against a desolate backdrop, there I met that little shrew. No need to taming it -- like us, he seemed rather surprised and confused. Perhaps he was looking for his burrow, I don't know. I wonder how the last man on earth will feel. Maybe s/he will sing one last song, who knows.
