Caine's Blog: September 2016

http://dancai.blogspot.com/2016/09

Monday, September 26, 2016. That is, much better known as. A great many people. Around the world might agree with me that Ellington was the most significant composer of the Twentieth Century. No, make that composer/ arranger/ bandleader/ pianist/ race hero/ raconteur. Ellington's career affected far more than music and far more than American culture. In jazz, as I have discovered personally over the years, all roads lead to Duke Ellington. But who is our Holy Spirit? But also their impact on the world of...

The Daily Growler: Existing in New York City---I'm Retreating While the Fascists Proceed

I'm Pulling Back on My Jabbing At Enemies. Fuck all of that. I'm retreating back into my shell. I'm writing on a new novel. Leaving the American mythic false reality behind for my own fantasy and not that of Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman, those two jokers and deceivers. I'm basking in my own reality. Butterflies and Pig Pens.

Take The "A" Train: Jazz e altre visioni: Jazz Films by Gianni Amico

https://ehsankhoshbakht.blogspot.com/2015/06/amico.html

Take The "A" Train. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Jazz e altre visioni: Jazz Films by Gianni Amico. One of my latest discoveries in the world of European jazz films comes from Italy. The films in question are two shorts directed by a largely unknown Gianni Amico whose early death (1933-90) and the fact that many of his films were made for Italian TV has added to an unjust obscurity. However, his name might have a special resonance for those who have seen the chapter of Jean-Luc Godard's Histoire(s) du cinéma.

Take The "A" Train. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. John Scofield Trio, 1987. John Scofield must mean something special to Germans. He had numerous appearances on various German TV networks, both before and after the fall of the Berlin wall. As for this particular posted broadcast, known as Jazzbühne, I learned from German Wikipedia that two years after the concert was filmed, at some point towards the unification, the program came to an end. But guess who appeared on its very last broadcast? Interestingly, ...
