Must be a good day for musical finds as I heard something "new to me" on KPLU
around 10pm on my "garage radio" on a smokebreak. I'm hearing this "on the radio"
and I'm thinking this is music right up my alley... as a non-dancer I can find many ways
to physically respond to this music without looking like a spazz...but just for maybe 40 seconds.
I'm sure I got Charlie Rouse playing with some jazz giant in my record collection.
Love this Bossa Nova/Lounge jazz thing from the 60's.

I just know that name Charlie Rouse and the sound of his saxophone play. Thanks
to Wikipedia I was able to refresh my memory a bit and what records I have with
him playing saxophone and it turns out to be quite a few. Probly his time with T Monk
as I got a lot of T Monk records but a new name to me that Charlie Rouse played/recorded
with was one "Paul Quinichette" and I have no idea how to pronounce that name.
Charlie and Paul made music together and it sounds good to me. So something this
obscure belongs here...in the weirdest collection of music of any railroad orientated
blog site today.

The power of radio....to play a song on the radio that you like and do it again and again
day after day...forever. I've been on the lookout for "new to me" music it seems forever
and again I hear a song on the radio that grabs me "first time/play". I never heard of
St. Germain but if this cut is any indication of his stuff...the rest must be good tuu.

So I got all the Prince catalog until he went "symbol" instead of Prince.
I'm not that sentimental about Prince's musical output these days but since he died
I listened to some of his music again trying to find a "lessor played nugget" that
would be pretty much Prince in a nutshell and I found this tune "Cream".

John Medeski on the keyboards, Billy Martin on the drums, and Chris Wood on the bass..
Medeski Martin & Wood. KPLU plays their stuff on regular basis and thus I've heard this trio
of musicians many a time. I've always had interest in the great genius keyboard players
and John Medeski is one of those.

Comcast channel "941"...MC Sounds of the Season: The pulse is becoming more of a favorite
channel for me especially when I'm cooking dinner. I have a lot of the music they play and
hearing "new to me" music as well in this huge area of electronic music. Another big plus is
when you hear some cool tune you can see the title of the tune and who did it on your TV.
Makes things so much simpler and thanks to YouTube you can hear again the tune you just
heard for the first time and tell all your friends and send them the very tune in minutes.
So this is pretty much what is going on here...I had Comcast ch941 on while I was making
dinner and hear these 2 tunes and go to my TV and write down the names of the songs/artist
and "fresh"...just hours after I heard these tunes for the very first time.

So I'm thinking tonight my "process" of wanting to hear new music still goes on but
along the way access to the music I want to follow has been severed...in some cases
overnight. FM radio always changing. I used to get KEXP loud and clear for 10yrs or
more and one day they changed their signal direction and all I get is static. The CBC
had a 25yr run of the most exceptional radio on the planet but that all changed.
So I got my KPLU jazz station as whats left on the radio. So without any great radio
available today in my locale...it turns out my "TV" is my new tool to find some new music.
Comcast has about 80-90 channels of radio stations and the MC channels of which play
nothing but the kind of music you like. So I got ch941 going on my TV fixing dinner and
I hear the music of "Boozoo Bajou" for the first time. I looked for it on You Tube and found
a better "mix" of "camiouix".

So the hits just keep coming as I heard another tune of distinction on "radio"
this time and a teaming up of John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana and his band
with a song called "The Healer". John Lee Hooker's vocals always interest me.
He can make sounds with his voice that aren't words that just sound cool...his
moanin' and groanin' meandering. Carlos playing all guitars I think.

Quite a few artists did this song "I get a kick out of you" and not sure who was
first but Ella Fitzgerald had to be close to first. This is re-mix of sorts. The song describes
about everything I've tried but the results were "different" for me than the singer.

Since there is nothing to watch on TV...you can just listen to it. Comcast ch 945
is really some great jazz 24/7 and what's nice if you do hear a song you like you
can get up and write down cuz its on your TV screem. So anyway I listening away and
I heard a familiar song done by somebody else. It was "Wave Mechanics Union" doing
a Thomas Dolby tune "The ability to swing" and they do a great job with it.

But the original by Thomas Dolby is the music powerful stereos were created for.

The tune "The Honeydripper" has been done by many and its a fun song from
long ago. Well you know I can appreciate some great organ playing... this version by
Jack Mcduff has some great organ playing.

Have to say I'm listening to Comcast MC Ch 945 Jazz channel more and more.
So when KPLU goes to the NPR news nonsense at 3pm I can keep the cool jazz
music going on my TV instead of my FM receiver. Also if you hear a song you like
just have to look at the TV and all you need to know so you can go right to You Tube
and find it and post it on the Current Music section of the BJ. That's what happened for
my next addition to Current Music...a song about "black coffee" that came out in 1949.
We've talked at great length at the BJ about coffee and starbucks and peets and different
brewing techniques...but "black coffee" or "taking it black" means your drinking some
really horrible over-brewed coffee. When I make a fresh ground coffee beans cup of coffee
every morning the liquid in my coffee cup is not "black" but a brownish clear to where if
I dropped a penny in my cup of coffee I could still make-out Abraham Lincoln. Still my brew
is kick-ass. I think its almost a misnomer about drinking a cup of "black coffee".
So anyway the song that I heard that got me going on this written rampage on black coffee.
