Interesting News
An article in Los Angeles Times from August reports about the politically charged musical exchange between U.S. jazz musicians Christian Scott, David Sánchez, Stefon Harris, and a group of Cuban musicians.
New Talent
The upcoming band, theo cas, can be heard live on a previously broadcasted radio show with their song "Easy Revolution," among other renditions.
Feature
To all fans of jazz-poetry, Blind William -- listener from Dog Town, now relocated to the Diamond City -- have upped some astonishingly beautiful Zora Neale Hurston tracks here. This week there are also posts on Langston Hughes, providing audio links to some very rare sessions with Langston, Charles Mingus, and Horace Parlan, and a number of other posts on Nora Zeale Hurston. "We are digging the crates for a few Langston Hughes related music projects: A Modern Jazz Symposium of Music and Poetry with Charles Mingus, Did You Ever Hear the Blues and Mule Bone. All have the same unusual promise that most of Langston's musical projects carry," Blind William says.
