I have been riding Motorcycles forever, and taking Photographs for
even longer.
Good summer days are spent riding or camping.
Summers are for camping, Winters are for
Computers... and sleeping (a lot!).
Music:
Cole Porter, Charlie Parker, Charlotte Church (not the recent 'pop'
Charlotte, the original 'classical' Charlotte), Emiko Kai,
Renee Olstead,
(Renee does gorgeous jazz renditions of songs like
'Summertime', 'What a difference a day makes', 'Taking a chance on
love'.) Very polished, very mature, it's difficult to believe
that she was only 15
at the time as she can knock out torch songs like she's channeling jazz ghosts
from the past. Renee
Olstead's website.
If you like
Piano jazz you want to find a copy of 'Crystal Echo'
by Emiko Kai.
A woman who puts to rest the notion that piano jazz is a
male preserve.
Emiko's
website is primarily in Japanese so if you are a bit rusty
I would suggest Google for a rough translation. Even without
translation you can find audio samples by clicking on the 'Message'
link.
I love Jazz, Blues, and Mo-town... but I'm not a fan of Rap,
( actually I hate it. )
Where is
the melody?
There is just a beat, maybe 8 notes that go on and on.
Drilling into your brain with no anesthetic... and a dull drill to
boot.
Does anyone remember something called a melody?
You know... Music.
