Quotes

"A historical property has morals and ethics of the society that created it and can be revived. What I mean is that we can discover new possibilities from the process of dismantling, transforming, and recreating."
-Ai Weiwei

"Thus, because jazz finds its very life in an endless improvisation upon traditional materials, the jazzman must lose his identity even as he finds it..."
-Ralph Ellison

“Midway along the journey of our life / I woke to find myself in a dark wood, / for I had wandered off from the straight path."
-Dante

"Sampling is a new way of doing something that’s been with us for a long time […] The mix breaks free from the old associations. New contexts form from old. The script gets flipped. The languages evolve and learn to speak in new forms, new thoughts. The sound of thought becomes legible again at the edge of the new meanings."
-DJ Spooky

It’s cold outside, but I’m enjoying the warm vibes from Stevie Wonder’s “classic period” (1972-76). What’s your favourite of these five records? If I had to pick, I’d probably go with #Innervisions. #steviewonder #musicofmymind #talkingbook #fulfillingnessfirstfinale #songsinthekeyoflife

I am having many morning adventures with these two little DJs/Superheroes. Currently playing with Bo Hansson’s Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings. #djphoenixplaysarecord #djellabella #bohansson #musicinspiredbylordoftherings #lordoftherings

Few records bring the church and jazz together as well as Black Christ of the Andes. Mary Lou Williams was so incredibly talented and deserves a spot in the canon of jazz greats. Highly recommended. #marylouwilliams #jazz #blackchristoftheandes

Yesterday’s record purchases included these two gems in abstract/ creative music: #ZeroTime by Tonto’s Expanding Head Band and #OM by John Coltrane. #johncoltrane #tontosexpandingheadband #jazz #electronicmusic #creativemusic #improvisation

I saw #intheheatofthenight for the first time last night. The Criterion presentation of the film was great, and the film holds up well. Cool soundtrack from Quincy Jones and the performances by Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger were fantastic. They call me Mister Tibbs! #criterioncollection #sidneypoitier #quincyjones

Classic kid. Classic album. #djellabella #alicecoltrane #journeyinsatchidananda #pharoahsanders #jazz #freejazz #meditation
