I've been scanning through some of Perpetuum Jazzile's performances on Youtube. Pretty impressive IF you're interested in some really clean jazz and vocal work - especially acapella.

They're Slovenian but their Cudna Noc (Slovenian for Strange Night) hooked me.

Sunny and I might swing into Ljubljana, Slovenia in the coming year when we hit Europe. Gotta love faking it in a country where I'm clueless in the local language.

OK... I kinda like jazz and voice.

I am beginning to realize that because I'm so heavily involved in data - data acquisition, signal conditioning, analog-to-digital data...

... that there is NO MAGIC for me in highly technical music and synthesis of "instruments" in performing music. Sure, "back in the day" when synthesizers were emerging, the technology was cool but now the computer has become TOO MUCH an integral part of all performances.

I think that is why "analog" performances such as those by Perpetuum Jazzile really have my attention.

Very nice, I dig it. She's got some awesome pipes. Even more, it all fit together.

+1, more folks should get into good "jass"...

I've mentioned her before- anyone check out Esperanza Spalding? Court said he might have a chance to see her play live, but I never heard back if he did. Super good acoustic bass player, with great vocals to boot.

This stuff continually amazes me . . . .

I did not see Esperanza but am amazed. at least weekly, at the amount of amazing talent.

I'm getting caught up in stuff like this, jazz standards, street musicians and OLD stuff.

Absolutely amazing.

I found it quite unpleasant to listen to.

By the way . . . there is a lot to be said for having Julliard right next to where I walk 7 miles a day . . . . . and a LOT of students who need to practice.

You don't want or need my lecture but a good deal of my confidence in the future of our country and our world comes from folks like this. Music is more powerful than most can imagine.

I spend an hour a week in an old album store in the East Village . . . . I'm almost convinced that folks from Charliee Christian to Jimi Hendrix were sending messages to future generations about excellence and living.

It's amazing stuff. . . .

This is the video I meant to post . . . but the rendition of Africa was awesome!

Wow!
The Badweb never ceases to amaze, educate and entertain...

Long live the analog! Long the live vinyl LP. Heck might as well throw in the vacuum tube too...

There will be as much agreement about music as there is about BEER (you DON'T want to get me started) - yeah, live music - played FOR an audience.

We're going up to see another
analogue performance: Hamlet in Ojai after Shawn gets back from Topeka (shhh... don't tell Marianne, it's a surprise) We have a friend playing the lead -

amazing how I hated Shakespeare in high school when it was forced down my throat - ditto: History. Now it's all different.

(music has NEVER left though but orchestra was a CHOICE for me in school)

J. Brad Hardin (86129squids above) was the one who turned me on to Esperanza Spalding.
