I started today's mix with two goals- 1) to include some "funnier" songs and 2) to not include any punk rock. I thought the latter might encourage a different kind of arc/dynamic and I think that more or less heldtrue. I sometimes think of my musical predilection for a certain kind of rock as sort of a joke in and of itself- i.e. I make art, I am a punk*, so what do I listen to? ART-PUNK!
this mix ends with 2 of the 3 jazz songs I know that imitate the circling of flocks of birds. prizes for anyone who can name any others.
thanks to Katt for turning me on to this amazing Max Roach Trio featuring the Legendary Hassan record, & Reid for the Cackle Sisters.

"The Conference of the Birds" is an old Persian folktale. Gustavo Boada did a puppet show based on it at an Uprising a few years back.
ReplyDeleteMan, the trombone sounds great in the Texas swing!
