Herbie Hancock: ‘Get Outta My Face’

Vulture (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009

When we ran into Herbie Hancock at Diddy's 40th birthday party last week at the Plaza Hotel, we asked him what he would call himself if he ever became a rapper. "I don't know, Herb Dawg?" he told us. "That wouldn't fit me, though. I'm not an intimidating person. I don't think I am. "I don't know, 'get out of my way, get out of my face.'" But then he changed his mind! "Hey,...

VH1 Reality World (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009

Yesterday, Sean “Diddy” Combs held a huge birthday celebration at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. And the big names were there to help him celebrate. The guest list was certainly impressive. I couldn’t possibly give you photos of all the celebrities that showed up, but some of the more notable ones were Kim Kardashian, Russell Simmons, Spike Lee, Regina King, Robin Thicke, Nelly,...

just a quick post, my girl has been going on a big maurice fulton bender recently, and this has encouraged me to revisit this mix of his, which is very dear to my heart. this mix kept me company on many long, boring drives between melbourne and canberra... despite maurice being around since the year dot and generally being recognised as a house legend, i still feel he is massively under-rated. as far...

15 NOV: ROBERT GLASPER + Stonephace at Queen Elizabeth Hall

SoulCulture.co.uk (Free subscription) | 11/12/2009

Hip Hop influenced pianist Robert Glasper follows the likes of McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock as the Blue Note label’s latest piano star to push the classic trio format into uncharted territory. A loose-limbed and expressive soloist, Glasper incorporates fractured and insistent melodic loops in his heavily rhythmic style. Lauded free jazz/Working Week saxophonist Larry [...]

Saturday Sample - Organized Konfusion/Herbie Hancock

The Message Blog (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

This is sort of a short one today, but I just realized that I've never used Organized Konfusion for one of the Satrday Samples. Anywho, here's the song "The Extinction Agenda" off OK's album of the same name and the sample that coincides with said track, Herbie Hancock's "Rain Dance." I still don't know what part of the song they flipped, but whatever it is is, it's sure dope.Organized...

Meshell's Moods

Planet Intertwingly (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

Anger can be a great musical catalyst. The story is told about Miles Davis's historic 1964 concert at Lincoln Center, that the band was angry that Miles had preemptively waived their fees for charity. The performance, duly celebrated in two albums, My Funny Valentine and Four and more , can be said to have that urgent yet sinuous edge that make it one of the essential live musical performances. The...

Herbie’s Story

Lefsetz Letter (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

We’re too old. That’s what Herbie Hancock said at Quincy Jones’ Music Consortium. He told a story. Of being in Japan and getting one of the original PlayStations. Now Herbie considers himself to be technologically adept. When he got back to the States, he hooked the PlayStation up, even though the instructions were in Japanese. But he couldn’t [...]

Cut Chemist, Mateo Messina, 280+ Other Motherfuckers @ Benaroya Tonite (Plus- Free Stuff!)

Line Out (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

Symphony For The Superhero , a symphony by local composer Mateo Messina (best known for composing the Juno score, as noted before ), is going down at Benaroya, starring the one and only Cut Chemist - turntablist, producer, innovator. Bridging hiphop and the symphony is no small feat- in fact, it's a fucking recipe for disaster in the wrong hands- but I think this cast of characters is up to the task....

Arcadia: Maximum big surprise

XO's Middle Eight (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009

Twenty four years on, I still love Arcadia's So Red The Rose . Only 8 vocal tracks, nearly flawless, and each simultaneously lush and angular. It was produced in 1985 by the late Alex Sadkin , who also produced Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger , and albums by Grace Jones and Thompson Twins. Rumor has it the album will be re-released in 2010. I hope it contains the extended versions, which are sublime....
