Listen to an album a day: March


I know Spotify is corrupt, doesn't pay artists enough, and has an AI music problem (one, two). I don't pay for it, and listen to commercials even though the heroine of Laid suggests that's not to be done. You don't like the links, don't click them. Pay for a service for me, and I'll link that up.

"The Pixies are associated with the 1990s alternative rock boom, and draw on elements including punk rock and surf rock. Their music is known for dynamic "loud-quiet-loud" shifts and song structures. Francis is the primary songwriter; his often surreal lyrics cover offbeat subjects such as extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical violence. Their jarring pop sound influenced acts such as Nirvana, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, the Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer." Wikipedia

Tenorio jr

There's a movie on Netflix, They Shot The Piano Player (2023). It's about the disappearance of Tenório Jr. I'm really surprised, I couldn't find a previous post about  Tenório Jr .  Born in 1940, he disappeared in 1976 when he was 34, just coming into his powers. He came out with his first and only album in Embalo in 1964 ( Spotify ). He's an accompanist on many other albums. I tracked down all the albums mentioned on the Wikipedia page on Spotify and made a playlist . Lots of the albums were not present, and some had to be hunted for, did not come up on the search for the title.  Embalo on YouTube .

Female vocalist I like

My friend asked for more women vocalists. I sent him Right Back To It by Waxahatchee, which is my current favorite. Kathryn Crutchfield is the singer. Unfortunately when I’m meditating, these kinds of questions obsess me as a kind of distraction.  My first thought was Joni Mitchell , and Brandi Carlile . Those two are giants. There’s nobody like Ella Fitzgerald , I think she’s the top. I like her work with Duke Ellington best. Billie Holiday is a favorite. I love it that J. Edgar Hoover sent an agent to get the dirt on her, and he fell in love with her. I love her albums with Lester Young .  Alison Krauss has such a sweet voice, from bluegrass to pop. Her latest albums have been with the guy who sang for Led Zeppelin.  Linda Ronstadt constantly amazed me. Blue Bayou is amazing. Lately I've been listening to Sophie Milman . Indigo Girls have some solid hits. Galileo , Closer To Fine , Tiny Desk Concert . Tiny Desk Concerts are amazing. Power of Two on Spotify . ...

Kurt Elling

I saw a post asking about male jazz singers. Kurt Elling was the top one, so I'm listening to him. He was born in 1967 in Chicago. His father was the musical director at church and he was into music with the family from the time he can remember. Basically he didn't have any training until after college, and he sang in choirs in high school and college. He toured Europe in college with his choir. He had good conductors. He learned from experience, hanging out in clubs. He was encouraged to sit in. He says he had plenty of strikeouts too.  I know online music has killed the music industry, perhaps, perhaps not, because I listen to a lot more music with instant gratification. To get a fraction of a cut of the advertising seems unfair, but then again people used to want to get their records played on the radio.  Looks like he's in Poland now, then he goes to Washington. Birdland 1/8-11, then Orlando, Miami, Tucson, LA. A gig in Baton Rouge, Baltimore, then Ann Arbor. Seems like...
