"Colón made [the trombone] central to his band, and the instrument’s ornery, sarcastic, yet often uplifting sound defined not only salsa’s break from the Cuban tradition, but the Nuyorican generation’s countercultural moment."
Willie Colón — 14 Essential Songs and Albums (gift link):
"Despite his illness, the Starman spent his final time on earth working on what would become his last album, as well as the Lazarus musical. Here, some of his final collaborators reflect on those projects, his death and his legacy."
An oral history of David Bowie’s ‘Blackstar’:

"An expansive atlas of over 400 record covers, 'Maps on Vinyl' features maps, both literal and figurative, across the medium of album art. From cartographic to geographic, this volume opened my eyes not just to how many map album covers exist, but also to how prevalent maps are in our day-to-day."

"While we all knew that Kraftwerk used then-cutting-edge technology and that, of course, synths and drum machines were at the heart of their setup, there were few clues as to what the band actually employed bar the odd Minimoog and ARP Odyssey."
What we’ve learned about Kraftwerk’s mythical studio:

"If Delia Derbyshire wondered if music could be made without traditional instruments, Don Buchla asked a different question entirely: what if the instrument itself belonged to no tradition at all?"
Don Buchla, the synthesis innovator:
Matt Sargent (guitar/electronics) and Giacomo Fiore (guitar) perform "Several Angels," a concert of computer-generated variations on Shaker hymns, alongside composer/performer Chris Everingham's (bass guitar/electronics) monolithic just intonation piece Searching.

David Tudor’s centenary today. 20th century music (and beyond) would certainly have charted a very different course without his gifts and vision…

Good on Bela Fleck for cancelling his Kennedy Center performance. If you do not know Fleck's game, let me introduce you to an obscure album that is one of my favorites- Tabula Rasa, with Fleck, Jie-Bing Chen, and V.M. Bhatt
Water Lily Acoustics was a great label.

12-27 PTE: New music from Jon Porras, Uterocele, John Oliver, Lingyuan Yang, Ian Smit & Bryan Day/Ernesto Diaz-Infante. Plus recent tracks from Ye Gods, Avant Orchid Zone & Fletina, with older cuts by Gary Husband, Robert Wyatt & Bill Laswell's Miles Davis mix. Not too shabby at all!

12/13 PTE: All over the place this week! Starting on more of a jazz note, meandering all over the place to more ambient/atmospheric things from the folks at Projekt Records and focusing on new releases in Phase Two.
