The Long Shadow of Steely Dan
by Patrick Burnette
It's been a hot minute since the boys did a “pop" episode, but given this very special installment is devoted to jazz-rock gods of the seventies Steely Dan, maybe this doesn't count. The Dan's somewhat controversial 1980's sign-off gets a good look in and then various tributes are dissected, with Pat arguing that jazz musicians need ...
Return of the Muse
by Patrick Burnette
Some indie labels find a happy home in the afterlife--think Prestige, Contemporary, et al who thrived for years under the Fantasy banner and are now sheltered under the wing of Craft Records. Others aren't so lucky. Super-producer and Record Store Day regular Zev Feldman has now made an enterprise of rescuing records from the long-dormant Muse ...
Ya Can't Spell "Jazz" Without "Jason"
by Patrick Burnette
"High Concept" is sometime used as a derogatory term for movies that are more about a saleable idea than a good script. This installment of the podcast is definitely “high concept," but we can assure you, it still isn't particularly saleable. Struck hard upside the head by inspiration, Mike decided to do a show entirely dedicated ...
Vinyl Old, New, and Reissued
by Patrick Burnette
Yep, it's one of those “what did Pat find at the record store?" episodes, with an emphasis on lesser known artists (unless the guitarist from Tortoise is a secret superstar). It's a testament to jazz's recent love affair with vinyl that the newest album came out on the black stuff, one of the “historic" albums is ...
Drum Machines and Griot Songs
by Patrick Burnette
This fortnight, Mike's cued up four newish releases with very different approaches to modern jazz. We have a couple piano trios (one of which calls in reinforcements from time to time), a duet with some space-age percussion, and a gigantic, sprawling big band project. Pat sneaks some jazz vinyl talk into pop matters.Playlist Discussion ...
(Mostly) Not the Usual Suspects
by Patrick Burnette
The Bastards delve into the fecund fields of fusion once again, focusing on that most electric of decades, the 1970s. This excursion sticks mostly to lesser-known stars in the fusion firmament, but there's one exception to this rule. That exception likes his finger-picking fast and his cover-girls nekkid.Playlist Discussion of Passport's album Hand Made ...
New from Known
by Patrick Burnette
For this particular fortnightly excursion, Mike suggested we look at four newish recordings by artists we've covered--or at least listened to a bit--before. The fresh from the familiar as it were. The results leave Pat speechless. Playlist Discussion of podcast's raison d'etre 0:30 Discussion of Jon Irabagon's album Server Farm (Irrabagast) 10:13 Discussion of ...
Out from the Vaults
by Patrick Burnette
The most recent Record Store Day episode is barely in the rear-view, but the boys decide to take on four more vault finds dug up by jazz detective Zev Feldman. Which ones are keepers and which ones get the dreaded label “redundant" and an invite off the island (or, at least, out of the record collection)? ...
Vocals? Sorta
by Patrick Burnette
From time to time this august podcast discusses the jazz vocal arts and opinions are expressed. Heavy hitters like Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, and Torme have all been inspected. For this episode, the boys venture to the odder corners of the jazz vocal realm, looking at projects where the vocalist isn't the only--or sometimes even the main--talent ...
Mike on Brad
by Patrick Burnette
This fortnight's broadcast looks at four recent albums by up-and-coming artists--from the fairly well-known to the outright obscure. But hard-core listeners really want to wait for the so-called “pop matters" section, when we finally get to hear what Mike thinks of Brad Mehldau's autobiography. Is Brad teasing God? Or teasing us about God? Stay tuned to ...
