Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector- Terry Riley
While not a minimalist composition that acts as the precedent for all of his previous, and possible future, tracks; it is definitely one of my favored.
Don't listen to Jazz-
Still don't listen to Jazz-
Exploring the Keyboard.

Who here likes David Binney? Thoughts on his new album?

[Gabriel Jackson]

John Coltrane with Johnny Hartman

>next two questions are too hard
>favorite non jazz album
right now, Steely Dan's Royal Scam.
while Binney's ability to groove is certainly apparent, the music on this record just kinda doesnt for me. maybe its the bassist but this record just cant get my head bobbing

One of the best composers and players on the scene today. This album was disappointing in some ways though. Still bretty good overall.

[Sebastian Williams]

Okay, serious thoughts on this film?

[Benjamin Edwards]

Ken Burns doesnt know shit about jazz but wanted money so got literally all of his information from winston marseeeellis. ep. 1-7= louis armstrong and duke ellington are all thats worth talking about. ep 8 and 9= anything made from bebop on is a mistake, besides of course louis and duke. ep 10= might as well be a JALC commercial and a winston marsalis shill. i hate everything about all of it.

[Dylan Green]

I think it's not terrible especially for someone who isn't familiar with the genre it's a good entry point in a convenient package.

But as Nuff Nuff said , FAR too much focus on the swing era and on the late 30s and Duke/Louis, with minimal focus on the post-war era (especially condensing everything post-1960 into one episode).

And Wynton and his revisionism are far too prominent in the film.

[Josiah Thompson]
