<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The whole world-why restrict it-the entire universe-knows
that the Beatles have released a song called <i>Now And Then. </i>This
Frankenstinian effort was, as the YouTube P.R. says: “brought to life and
worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles.” The reconstruction
entailed using AI to extract an old John Lennon vocal track and adding new
musical backup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now And Then</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> is probably the highest profile use of AI in popular music. It shows
us that this technology can do something that couldn’t be done before: separate
sounds that had already been mixed together. A machine-learning algorithm is trained to learn sonic patterns and create a neural network capable of isolating
individual voices or instruments. It can then re-synthesize them to try and
match samples of those instruments or voices. It took Lennon’s voice off the
demo cassette tape and recreated it, giving us a sampled version of Lennon’s voice
(and Harrison’s guitar). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My own view is that the song is maudlin and turgid; glib
romantic tripe surrounded by white-bread music. Disclosure: I feel the same way
about <i>Let It Be</i>, a McCartney song knee-deep in pseudo-religious semi-anthemic
bathos. Worst of all, I never “got” <i>Imagin</i>e.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now to something slightly more objective: the music industry
is desperate. People don’t want to pay for music and for 15 years, album sales
and music sales have declined. MRC Data, a music-analytics firm says that old
songs represent 70 percent of the U.S. music sales. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStpNc1WsJ6VOyhI7N6mEH9tbFyTnUSppYIFLrWMqfPfBlkj5OGtywkvkOqHcNSdzwKQQU-L6KSeIVb2ON5RxIP3P4Y1ltZcgopRaCJRgRbJqpXmQDouO_PR90Rath242bJiJt2Q7YelZCU5AHaBEd6DPl7CFSe1ANNyPI6OHK3za6ymKXTrooWIsKANRH/s1000/chart.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="827" data-original-width="1000" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStpNc1WsJ6VOyhI7N6mEH9tbFyTnUSppYIFLrWMqfPfBlkj5OGtywkvkOqHcNSdzwKQQU-L6KSeIVb2ON5RxIP3P4Y1ltZcgopRaCJRgRbJqpXmQDouO_PR90Rath242bJiJt2Q7YelZCU5AHaBEd6DPl7CFSe1ANNyPI6OHK3za6ymKXTrooWIsKANRH/s320/chart.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Record companies are
plumbing their catalogues for music that can save their plunging bottom lines.
But the real force in music is not record companies which are, in any case, a
very small piece of very large international corporations. They are technology companies:
Amazon, Google, Apple and Spotify, who own the download market. How many of
these companies are out there looking for and signing new musical artists? None. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.5in;">It's no surprise that the music
industry will use any tool it can to maximize its resources, especially if </span><span style="font-size: 16px; text-indent: -48px;">this tool simultaneously minimizes expenses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I’ve read through a number of websites from in and outside the
music industry. They acknowledge the drawbacks of AI (in a word: it’s not
human), but overwhelmingly embrace the use of the technology. Here are some
extracts to give a sense of what I mean.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As <a href="https://jacquelinejax.medium.com/ai-in-the-music-industry-pros-and-cons-3dbf2c042751">one website</a> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">puts it:</span> “<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">AI can help
with tasks such as music recommendation, content curation, and even music
composition. By leveraging AI as a tool, the music industry can be at the
forefront of the next wave of innovation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="https://www.mi.edu/in-the-know/ai-music-production-enhancing-human-creativity-replacing">Another site</a></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> says: “One of the most significant benefits of AI in music production is the
ability to quickly generate new ideas and variations.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="https://ts2.space/en/the-pros-and-cons-of-ai-generated-music-a-balanced-perspective/">A trope</a> widely used is this: “It has democratized music production, making it accessible to those
who may not have traditional musical training or expensive equipment.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="https://performermag.com/band-management/the-pros-cons-and-future-of-artificial-intelligence-in-music/">Another website</a></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> states this “Con”:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because many people
see music as such an innately human expression, it is often considered as too
precious to impart onto technology. The thought of a computer generating a
‘random’ piece of music that hasn’t been painstakingly created by an artist is
almost seen as sacrilegious.” However, a few paragraphs later, we read this:</span>
“<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Instead of shying away from
the idea of this Black Mirror-esque future, the best approach to take is one of
optimism and curiosity. While there are always bound to be diehard old school
musicians who refuse to use tech, as there are readers who still refuse the
Kindle, music producers should consider AI as something to be embraced.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="https://ts2.space/en/the-pros-and-cons-of-ai-generated-music-a-balanced-perspective/">Another</a> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">acknowledges this issue: “Moreover, while AI can generate music based on
patterns and trends, it lacks the ability to understand cultural context and
emotional nuance. Music is not just about melody and rhythm; it’s a form of
expression that reflects the human experience. AI, as advanced as it may be,
cannot replicate this aspect of music creation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It seems as though consumers of music are being asked to
choose between an archaic “humanistic” attitude that rejects AI, or a “realistic”
one which accepts, even appreciates it and, as the technology gets better and
better, will narrow the gap between human and machine-made creation to indistinguishability.
People will take sides on this and will impute moral and ethical judgements to
buttress their positions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It would be ridiculous to say the aesthetic application of AI falls
into the life-or-death category of debates surrounding technologies like cloning,
gene splicing or nanotechnology. Some of the debate is morally murkier, but some applications are obviously abhorrent. For example, as used in the <a href="https://artsfuse.org/254081/music-commentary-the-streaming-cesspool/">streaming cesspool</a>,
to avoid having to pay money to flesh and blood musicians.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1JBG6MhJGXEl6cvysf_FtpJGOkUo1w9vaKudHu_VdICbJivVXdTLG1SMZb0_lqXW_sZUhrNGOX1gztQTbCC4uv7gtWCzsmAWTWduJRFblEyvC5Gb_MGIDDjrwFSo3zbnOfrpD6-hSJ-HHiwWY3uyTkz0QlSLwObrpF1oYGm3LcbGVTRoBoxDpcPFq_piF/s316/Revolver_(album_cover).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="316" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1JBG6MhJGXEl6cvysf_FtpJGOkUo1w9vaKudHu_VdICbJivVXdTLG1SMZb0_lqXW_sZUhrNGOX1gztQTbCC4uv7gtWCzsmAWTWduJRFblEyvC5Gb_MGIDDjrwFSo3zbnOfrpD6-hSJ-HHiwWY3uyTkz0QlSLwObrpF1oYGm3LcbGVTRoBoxDpcPFq_piF/w196-h196/Revolver_(album_cover).jpg" width="196" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I love the Beatles. They were a force; born and fostered in
an era when a group might make it past a second album that didn’t sell that
well. In my youth, “Rubber Soul,” and ”Revolver” competed for turntable time
with Miles, Getz and Coltrane. Now, rather than a generative force, they are a
symptom of a systemic breakdown. The whole business is reminiscent of the
<a href="https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/how-it-works-13-famous-people-brought-back-to-life-as-holograms">holographic resurrection</a> of dead musicians.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-vw64YrShhIPHPBkxT1Y8auSgFkvDHIngMLowgSGSmLFhw7Du0N1wD2vhRzhELGUITBFJmEf2NCtNbyskG1O0qrOFEZ1xGeLvQi2FQG23EksUXI3Vc1bYfLkyzyogq1KwfVrcm6NMWhxTM95fD4ylT7wmFb8dUm6ejXj4jwyPvyG_Ouu3-3DVzt_0gRxL/s298/ella.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="169" data-original-width="298" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-vw64YrShhIPHPBkxT1Y8auSgFkvDHIngMLowgSGSmLFhw7Du0N1wD2vhRzhELGUITBFJmEf2NCtNbyskG1O0qrOFEZ1xGeLvQi2FQG23EksUXI3Vc1bYfLkyzyogq1KwfVrcm6NMWhxTM95fD4ylT7wmFb8dUm6ejXj4jwyPvyG_Ouu3-3DVzt_0gRxL/s1600/ella.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> It's only a matter of time before the Beatles get the Rod Stewart and Ella
Fitzgerald <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbK6N_LFNts">treatment</a>, which gives new meaning to the expression “half-dead.” Yes, pairing Rod and Ella is like putting Twinkie creme filling into a Godiva
chocolate; like putting Donald Trump's hair on Sophia Loren's head. It
shouldn't be conceived of. It shouldn't be done. But it has been, and it will. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Can anything be done? Those few musicians with real power
might exert that power to force streaming companies to pay a fair share to
artists.
We might all demand those changes. We might also take note that the enemy is us
and pony up for recorded music the same way we shell out for HBO, to see a
movie, a show or a dance concert.</span></p>Steve Provizerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09757505876939504133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-57695912722808408412023-07-18T10:44:00.000-04:002023-07-18T10:44:39.191-04:00In Praise of Raspberries.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Monsieur Proust is welcome to his madeleine. Those little
cakes may have a rich <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_(cake)">provenance</a></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">, but they are a rather wan
substitute for more gorgeous desserts (crème puffs, chocolate mousse, etc). That
a madeleine was transmuted by Proust to a “precious essence” can only be
ascribed to a hypochondriac’s aversion to leaving his bed. If Proust had smelled
and tasted the raspberries in my backyard, his prose would not only have risen
to greater heights, he would have been a less dour mec and might even have
moved out of his parents’ house.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-NppNC3xNlX5US8WBa1-RjM76VihYsK1kYPdDHPvnsYRlinLPm9hqkPUegBkWqODeGRNg22M-kUKvSFxh-7k-INRY_LoWkNnptU9TLUKsOJESGyPCcBTXEW0K9mBORUa4ecKAvggONaDU2nkqX1-JOtU4XJYLSeL1cwzY6bAHX3-pdSV7zVC65NdE4Yjn/s259/made.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-NppNC3xNlX5US8WBa1-RjM76VihYsK1kYPdDHPvnsYRlinLPm9hqkPUegBkWqODeGRNg22M-kUKvSFxh-7k-INRY_LoWkNnptU9TLUKsOJESGyPCcBTXEW0K9mBORUa4ecKAvggONaDU2nkqX1-JOtU4XJYLSeL1cwzY6bAHX3-pdSV7zVC65NdE4Yjn/w200-h150/made.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But I have come to praise raspberries, not bury Proust. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">First of all, each raspberry is unique. We’re told as
children that no two snowflakes are alike, but all snowflakes taste, smell and
look the same-except under a microscope, whereas the variations in size, color,
taste and bouquet of raspberries are infinite. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Light pink when emerging, the fruit grows deeper in color, changing
over the course of two weeks or so to a deep purple-red. Although a raspberry
may be perfectly formed, don’t pick the fruit too early in the cycle. The
bouquet is not developed and the taste somehow both flaccid and acrid. As the
color deepens the taste and bouquet emerge. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Oenophiles speak of a wine’s “nose” and “body.” The word
“raspberry” comes from a mid-15th century word raspise--"a sweet
rose-colored wine" and all the complexities imputed to vintages from the Haut-Médoc
may be found in this fruit. The bouquet and taste intertwine to create an
experience that is pungent and regal; delicate and insouciant; subtle and
stentorian.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A raspberry should be eaten in its natural state. Sugar and
pectin are no friend to the raspberry, which does not translate well to jelly,
preserves, even tarts. Freeze them if you must, but like a person with titanium
implants who must respond to excess humidity, they will never be quite the
same. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Unlike blackberries, when you pick a raspberry, it will come
to your fingers without the central torus: hollow; with nothing pulpy to
detract from the taste. When fully matured, the surface texture is pure velvet.
A raspberry should yield slightly to the touch, but the tiny sections must cohere.
Breeds of raspberries other than my own have many fine qualities, but tend to
crumble in the hand, and no matter how quickly you shovel the pieces into your
mouth, the experience will be disjointed, like listening to a stereo record
through one speaker.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">While Proust’s madeleines transported him to les temps
perdue, eating raspberries anchors me in the present. It is one of the things
in my life that effectively brings me here now. My bushes have yielded fruit
annually for the last 20 years, making mid-July glorious even when the weather
is not. I have done very little to help my raspberries prosper. Every spring, I
cull the dead shoots; no fertilizer, no special watering or weeding. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">With apologies to Matthew 6:28-33: <i>Consider the

Booker Little, one of that (often ill-fated) group, died of uremic
poisoning at 23 and only recorded between 1959 and 1961. The album <em>Out Front</em>
(released in 1961, now being reissued by Candid), is arguably the best
recorded representation of his unique voice as trumpeter and
composer-arranger. The lineup: Booker Little, trumpet; Eric Dolphy, alto
sax; Julian Priester, trombone; Art Davis and Ron Carter, bass; Don
Friedman, piano; and Max Roach, drums. All compositions are by Little.
</p><p>From Memphis and schooled at the Chicago Conservatory, Little was a
master technician on the trumpet. His unique tone managed to be both
pleading and stentorian, copper and silver, focused but not excessively
narrow. His varied use of vibrato, and of the extreme registers of the
horn, together with his compositions, were the tools he used to
investigate crucial, foundational aspects of jazz.</p>
<p>Although less bluesy/funky, there’s something of Charles Mingus in
Little’s compositions, particularly in the stops and starts, along with
the variations in tempo. I also hear similarities to the voicings used
by Wayne Shorter in his arrangements, such as, for example, in Freddie
Hubbard’s 1963 album <em>Body and Soul</em>. (Why so many Shorter tunes
have become standards while Little’s are seldom played may be a result
of the often through-composed structure of his compositions and, of
course, the brevity of Little’s career).</p>
<p>Little was looking for a certain kind of freedom, but it was not the
freedom of Ornette or of Dolphy, though they sound very natural playing
side by side. Little’s idea of liberty called for more strictures.
“Moods in Free Time” is a good reflection of this. The time here is not
“free” in the customary sense. It derives its flexibility from a subtly
crafted shifting of time signatures — from 3/4 to 4/4 to 5/4 to 6/4
meter.</p>
<p>The songs “Man of Words “and “Hazy Hues” are actually “<a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/program-music">program music</a>”
— a format seldom approached in jazz. The first is Little’s attempt to
describe the journey of a writer confronting a blank piece of paper.
Ideas are tested until a pattern emerges; at that point the real work
has been accomplished. The second tune, almost a concerto for trumpet,
limns a painter at work, starting with the germ of an idea and bringing
it to completion.</p>
<p>Despite Little’s technical proficiency and knowledge of harmony, he
considered technique less important than communication. Little said, “If
you insist that this note or that note is wrong … you’re thinking
conventionally–technically, and forgetting about emotion.…There are
certain feelings that you might want to express that you could probably
express better if you didn’t have that [bounding, continuous] beat. Up
until now if you wanted to express a sad or moody feeling you would play
the blues. But it can be done in other ways.”</p>
<p>Little’s oeuvre is distinctive and deserves wider attention. This
reissue is an excellent place to begin to explore his very brief career.
Don’t be surprised if you listen and two thoughts arise: “Why didn’t I
know this music?” and ”What if…”</p>Steve Provizerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09757505876939504133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-43891044501919866662023-02-07T12:35:00.004-05:002023-02-07T12:35:43.793-05:00Embalmed, Blotto and Owled: Moving from Dry January into Dry Martini February<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXqHzYjDY0UfGRrHj49gy7FOQS3nvEuPyEJ6I83EsmTseoAVvRdHpMwOQcIKDWLzBiWE3yvdudu4TXAitDPs-8QXTNyHZoU0M8-_3SmSlmdxbbYlm7NaFfYgSs5CN4YRRT_E4qgkK7lF1lopjIcNFhAKib1inVmQtZTAWGnBBxCcK-CC6_Fh1Eu7f0w/s280/Wilson__Edmund.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="210" data-original-width="280" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXqHzYjDY0UfGRrHj49gy7FOQS3nvEuPyEJ6I83EsmTseoAVvRdHpMwOQcIKDWLzBiWE3yvdudu4TXAitDPs-8QXTNyHZoU0M8-_3SmSlmdxbbYlm7NaFfYgSs5CN4YRRT_E4qgkK7lF1lopjIcNFhAKib1inVmQtZTAWGnBBxCcK-CC6_Fh1Eu7f0w/s1600/Wilson__Edmund.jpg" width="280" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Edmund Wilson; a man who doesn't look like he enjoys his work.</span></div><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Otherwise known for more high-fallutin’ work, writer Edmund Wilson did some of his best work when he compiled <i>The Lexicon of Prohibition</i>, in

the conditions which they represent, beginning with the mildest stages and
progressing to the more serious…” I’m not certain I agree with Wilson, although
what 'half screwed' meant in 1927 may differ from how we see it now. </span></p>

Originally composed as a
recurring aria for "Porgy and Bess," It's been </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">taken in a wide variety of tempos and </span></span>re-harmonized in
some pretty radical ways. Yet,
probably because of the strength of the melody, it retains its, well,
Summertime-i-tude. All credit to </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">George Gershwin and lyricist </span></span>DuBose Heyward.</span>
<br />
<br />
There's a widespread notion about Gershwin having been influenced by a
Ukranian song. Wikipedia says: "The
Ukrainian-Canadian composer and singer Alexis Kochan has suggested that he
based the tune on a Ukrainian lullaby, Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon (A Dream
Passes By The Windows)." Thanks very much to Anton for sending me Nina Matvienko’s version of that
song: <a href="http://chirb.it/NExMH2">http://chirb.it/NExMH2</a>.

One thing both Biden and Trump voters seem to agree on is that there’s a lot at stake in this election. The degree of partisanship itself signals how much everyone is worried about the results. Of course, the more partisan you are, the more likely you are to believe that only your side has due cause for concern. The degree to which you accept the idea that someone on the other side has a right to be concerned is the degree to which you accept them as fully human. If you can take a breath and step back from this combative environment, you’ll see there’s kind of an ironic symmetry in this situation and that there are probably emotions that people on both sides are experiencing. </p><p>There may not be a lot of overlap in the musical tastes of Biden and Trump adherents, but music does address at least some of the emotions at play. I’ve been experiencing a complex and wearisome welter of emotions and have tried to choose some tunes that reflect the way this is playing out in my gut. I hope some of it resonates with you and that after this near-civil war, music will offer a way for us to find some common ground.

{page:Section1;}</style></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">If you're basing a comic book and
an animated cartoon series on a sex scandal, who are you gonna choose for your hero? Will it be the always frisky ex-Presidential contender Gary Hart? Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his ménage a trois? What about basing
it on humiliated family values and abstinence crusader Representative Mark
Souder? </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">The eventual winner, it turns out, easily outpaces Hart, Falwell, Mills
and their tawdry peccadilloes. For that heroine is none other than Stormy
Daniels, adult film star and real-life antagonist of a man easily cast as evil overlord: D. Trump.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">The publisher, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">TidalWave
Comics</i>, describes its
brainchild <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stormy Daniels: Space Force</i>
this way: “Captain Stormy Daniels commands the for-hire U.R.E. Helix, a United
Republic of Earth starship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Led by
OrDon, a self-proclaimed “very stable genius” and Ruler for Infinity, the
U.R.E. seeks to exploit the galaxy’s untapped riches with little regard for who
– or what – is out there…Only Captain Daniels, her second-in-command, Dax, her
droids, and the mysterious alien, Munch, can save us.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">Co-creator Stormy is excited: “What
girl doesn't want to be a sexy comic book character?! I never thought in a
million years this dream would come true much less that it would turn out so
amazingly! I am so excited to share Space Force with everyone...and not just
because it will piss off you-know-who!”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">The question we must ask, however,
is whether this will actually piss off you-know-who. History says otherwise. The
entire sordid tale, one would have thought, might have been enough to penetrate
the armor of Trump and his voters. The source of the $130,000 in hush money
Daniels was paid by Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen is still not accounted for
and may have come from the campaign fund. Trump and co. colluded with National
Enquirer owner American Media to keep the story out of the media. A
California judge ordered Trump to pay Daniels' legal fees as the prevailing
party. None of this made a dent and the fact that Trump was an adulterer, of
course, isn’t even an important part of the story. Oh Evangelists, where art
thou? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">We will see if <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stormy Daniels: Space Force </i>is a worthwhile scion of venerable
adult comics by the likes of Ralph Bakshi, Larry Welz or R. Crumb. I have a
feeling it’s likelier to be closer to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Playboy</i>
magazine’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Little Annie Fanny</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Penthouse</i> 's <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oh Wicked Wanda.</i> Still, in an era where humor is circumscribed in
the extreme, I welcome something with at least a whiff of transgression. And to
be honest, I am curious about that mysterious alien, Munch.</p>

I
solicited the favorite pre-1930 songs of the Hot Jazz Records
(1917-1931) Facebook group and this is what that knowledgeable group of
folks came up with. It represents an enormous variety of music, ranging
from "dance" to "blues" to "hot."<br />
<br />
People will know some
of the names in the list, but I'm sure many more individuals and bands
will be unfamiliar. Do yourselves a favor and check out what these
musicians have to offer. All of the songs on the list are available
online. They are in no particular order.<br />

everyone’s taking a crack at Bird turning 100, so I will:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
pubescent ill-fitting jeans of too-early fatherhood.</div>
<div class="p1">
Out the Shed, gonged by Jo, return to shed.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Dig the drug and start a life spent scoring.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Scares the rest of Hootie’s boys and ripples out.</div>
<div class="p1">
Dishwashing with a mind full of ecstatic lines. Meets the mob with simultaneous dreams-Diz, Monk…</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The dream, sweeping up any musical minds not solely locked into self-preservation. Swamped in the wake of this enormous destroying juggernaut.</div>
<div class="p1">
The buzz is all and is music and is drugs and the magnetism pulls in the village.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Bastard kind man, generous thief. Appetite’s a ponderous load that crashes wildly down 52nd St., sideswiping and enrapturing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wasted bright genius of focus and nod; all things to some and often nothing but tracks and trax. Cracking open the doors.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Satori and scab, locked in a fatal dance.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Still the purest deeply soiled magnetic field. Swept clean now. Burnished to notes.</div>
<div class="p2">

On October 3, 1985, I brought my Walkman into the 1369 in Inman Sq., Cambridge and recorded singer/pianist Bob Dorough, trombonist Roswell Rudd (who also sings here), Beaver Harris on drums and another singer and bass player. Their identities are announced at about 55" but I can't decipher them. Maybe someone else can-or knows who they are.<br />
<br />
During the course of the evening, unspeakable acts are performed by these musicians.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not much for movies
based on comics, but I saw “Black Panther” <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> because I'm a SAG voter and it's nominated for Outstanding
Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Since there is no "best
picture" category, per se, this becomes the closest equivalent. (‘Black
Panther’’ is also among the five films competing for the Best Adapted Screenplay
award by the Writers Guild of America).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hype around the movie was pretty loud, so while I didn’t
look closely at the details, I knew that it had a black director and an almost completely black cast
and that it featured a somewhat edenic, technologically advanced African
country. Bravo, thought I, maybe the movement to get more minority
representation in "big" films was starting to get some momentum. Now
that I've seen the film, I'm kind of astonished that the actual somewhat
regressive racial attitudes portrayed by the movie did not seem to be the
subject of much, if any, public discussion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't want to assume that people know the plot, so here’s a
very brief recap (skip the next 3 paragraphs if you know it): </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hero is T’Challa, son of the king of Wakanda,
T'Chaka. T’Chaka was assassinated by Luke Claw, the main bad guy (Caucasian
variety).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We learn that King T'Chaka killed his brother N'Jobu,
because N'Jobu had transgressed the rules of Wakanda-he'd stolen some of their
precious material vibranium, which he wanted to use to create powerful
munitions for liberation movements around the world. N'Jobu had a son and after
T'Chaka killed N'jobu, he chose to leave the child in the US and not take him
back to Wakanda. This child, named N’Jadaka, grows up to be the chief
antagonist to our hero T'Challa. We learn that as an adult, N’Jadaka joined the
US military and the scores of symmetrically tattooed scars on his body testify
to the many kills he racked up. He takes on the name Killmonger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">T'Challa goes on a mission to bring the assassin Luke Claw
back to Wakanda, but fails; in part, because of Killmonger's intervention. For
reasons of his own, Killmonger wants to kill Claw himself. He does and shows up
in Wakanda with Claw’s body in tow and challenges T'Challa to a ritual fight to
become the new king. He vanquishes T'Challa, assumes the throne and begins the
process of sending powerful vibranium weapons to black liberation struggles
around the world. The rest of the film is devoted to T'Challa retaking his
throne from Killmonger and returning Wakanda to its pristine, isolated
condition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's take a look at how these two main characters are
presented. T'Challa is a handsome man of noble bearing. He speaks clearly, as
do all the residents of Wakanda, in an English inflected by a generalized
African accent. Occasionally, the native Wakandan language is spoken. It may be
rooted in an actual African dialect. I don't know, but it sounds convincing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Killmonger, on the other hand, is inner city all the way.
Apparently he's as much a killer in the comics as he is in the movie, but
what is not said in the film is that he is not merely cunning, but very
intelligent, studying technology at MIT. His hair is in modified dreadlocks and
his talk is street. When he speaks the Wakandan language it sounds less
“genuine.” He is portrayed as violent, vengeful and hateful, thus rendering his
attitude about supporting liberation movements null and void. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After Killmonger has lost the final battle with T'Challa and
is sitting with a knife in his chest, he gives an emotional speech. He talks
about the fact that his father had promised to take him to the beautiful
Wakanda and of course, that it was never to be. T'Challa says that they can
keep him alive if he so chooses (Wakanda has very advanced medicine) and
Killmonger says no. He knows that if he is kept alive, he will be kept
imprisoned. He chooses to die and pulls the knife out of his body. He asks to
be buried in the sea, where his forefathers had leapt to their death from ships
rather than being brought as slaves to America. This bloodthirsty character is willing to act on the basis of his knowledge and understanding of the history of his people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is also the interesting plot wrinkle that has a white
CIA agent, Everett Ross, being taken for medical treatment to Wakanda after saving
the life of a Wakandan in the course of a gun battle with Claw. As an ex-pilot,
Ross is drafted to shoot down the planes trying to carry the contraband
vibranium out of Wakanda in the culminating battle. He succeeds in heroic fashion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is all simply muddle-headed. On the one hand, the dire
conditions that Africans suffered in America are acknowledged as are, during the
course of the film, the subjugations that minority populations endure
around the world. At the same time, proponents of anything but continuing the
isolation of Wakanda are portrayed as thugs and/or traitors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The crux of the film is whether Wakanda will export its
technology or will remain isolated. The problem is posed in these terms: Either
Wakanda retains its idyllic existence or it initiates a worldwide bloodbath.
The last scene in the film attempts to ameliorate this dire dichotomy by
returning us to the scene of the fratricide that took place at the begininng of the film. There, while young black kids playing
basketball look on, T’Challa, who has bought up all the local real estate,
brings down a Wakandan aircraft, the first step in bringing a cultural exchange
center-part of a worldwide outreach effort. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Granted it is a comic put on film, but a project of this
magnitude, calculated to appeal to a worldwide audience, has chosen to
represent a political/cultural issue in a fairly retrograde way. Yes, this issue is far from simple: When, if ever, is armed struggle necessary to achieve
political liberation? Unfortunately, the film is not prepared to actually
address that problem, taking a reductionist, somewhat retrograde approach; one
that pits black people against each other, with the “good” people on the side of isolation and the “bad” ones on the side of engagement in the struggle.</span></div>

From Dick:</div>
<span style="line-height: 24px;">These are mainly Boston jazz venues, or suburban spots inside Route 495, in operation from 1972 onward, but there are a few from the 1960s. Individual schools and churches are not included. And there were rock rooms like the Channel and the Paradise that had jazz on occasion, but not often enough to make the list.</span><br />
