This Island Earth
Sunday October 13th, 2019 with PeterB
Multiple hip-deep dives, and lots of new stuff today! Including a full play of The Bad Plus' AMAZING rendition of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring'!! And Ginger Baker with Fela Kuti. Just HOLY CRAP!

Mostly just long sets, and long tracks, with hip-deep dives on several new (and new to me) finds today. Including a waaaaay overdue full play of The Bad Plus jazz trio doing up Stravinsky's 'Rite Of Spring'. And, possibly the most amazing Afrobeat drum solo stand-off ever, with BOTH Ginger Baker and Tony Allen. HOLY CRAP!! How we like it! As usual, please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd sure love to hear from you!!

The Bad Plus rendition of Igor Stravinky's 'The Rite of Spring' in the glorious arrangement for jazz trio of piano, double-bass, drums and electronics. Their performance of this at Ottawa JazzFest 2014 was just TOTALLY JAW DROPPING STUNNING.

We'll play it in full today. Grab your very best headphones right now. And, as we listen, do try to keep in mind the original work premiered in 1913, and was originally designed for full orchestra and ballet...
