Tempo of the Down,
Just another friendly reminder of one of the best things I have ever heard,
DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo's Ki-Oku, Simply Amazing!!!! Just what the
Doctor ordered!!!! If you find the time to wonder why I have never
recommended Wynton? Just check out the Jazz series of him "Blah, Blah,
Blah!!!!" Would it bother me if his opinion of Hendrix was bad? Honestly
yes!!! But then I would feel sorrow for anyone who could not appreciate
Trane or Hendrix.
On another series "Ovation" Channel the other night there was a documentary
on Bob Marley followed by John Coltrane. Hey Stimp! Does it get any better
than this? Happy Trails!!!
Semper Motociclismo,
Pace'
Ok... I see people's points about Shadow...
I guess I didnt need Shadow to introduce me to this music because I had
YOU GUYS & GALS, the ACID JaZZ List :) !!
Actualy I was going through some records today and came across a
Shadow release (which I still play actually): DJ Krush's EP that has
that great track 'Roll & Tumble' - a fat jazz-reggae-hiphop groove with
an unknown trumpet player, perhaps Toshinori Kondo??
peace, & remembrance of Martin Luther King,
Nat
