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.

So here is my latest artist of interest...Atsuko Hashimoto. Atsuko is a woman's name I found out.
When I first listened to "Soul Station" I dint have the image of an Asian woman playing the organ
in my mind. Everything you know is wrong...Atsuko is very very good on the organ and just love
this relaxing cool sound. So there was another tune by her that was even better..."Blues for Naka".
So checkout Atsuka Hashimoto.

So I'm looking through the entertainment section of the Friday Herald and I come across
an article about Billy Bob Thornton and band (Boxmasters) are going to play in Stanwood WA
on Sept 12th at Loco Billy's Saloon as a fundraiser for the Northwest Music Foundation.
I was unaware the that the Boxmasters have 4 CD's to its name and Billy Bob Thornton has
4 solo CD's out. Billy Bob Thornton...who knew.

 Great work, Friend!

You have persevered and prevailed by keeping your chin up in the face of adversity visited upon you by the forum "owner".

For that, you deserve this!

So another tune heard for the first time worth passing along is by Pete Mills
doing a Horace Silver tune "Diggin on Dexter". Don't know anything about the
band but the organ player is fantastic.

So one hopes to hear from new artists everyday and I heard of one for the first time
one Valerie June. She has sort of a Dolly Parton voice with no southern accent and
most of her stuff today is playing an acoustic guitar and singing. A talent in progress.
Once she gets a band behind her music and a more powerful presentation Valerie June
could be big for years to come...or not. She could follow in Joan Armatrading's footsteps.

oSo in my boredom Halloween afternoon I was on You Tube looking for stuff and I was
looking up John Cooper Clarke and maybe I could find the title to a song I heard 40yrs
ago by him (still looking) but in the meantime there is this video of John Cooper Clarke
doing a very popular thing on "amoeba.com" about "What's in my bag" where musicians
walk into a record store and buy a bunch of stuff and then share with the viewer what
they bought and why. I could have been on that show as I brought many bags of records
home over a 30yr period and would love to tell you why I bought every one. The "Whats
in my bag" has a whole bunch videos by artist you know and what they bought from the
record store. So here are few "What's in my Bag" to enjoy.

So Leon Russell kicked the bucket. I have 6 of his Lp's on vinyl and dug them
out and played them all twice. I got Leon Russell songs rattling around my brain.
I don't know about your radio station in the early 70's playing a lot of Leon Russell
songs. A friend of mine turned me on to Leon Russell by playing his records and
never thought to ask where he heard him first. No matter as I went and bought them
all at the time. Leon Russell did fade away...better esplanation...his music got piled
over by a lot of other music...like about 40yrs worth. So if you don't have any Leon Russell
LP's/CD's...there is a greatest hits (who had no hits) of Leon Russell CD completely
free of the horrible Shelter Records vinyl surface noise. So I found Leon Russell doing
"My Funny Valentine" which is a jazz standard done by many Leon does a good job
with it as well. This video has a lot of great pictures of Leon Russell so enjoy.

So another find from the Comcast "Music Choice Channel 945" that has offered up
plenty of new jazz tunes for me to like. So I love Gypsy Jazz a lot. Django Rheinhart
is a guitar hero to me. This rhythm is like my "core speed" and respond so easily to it.
All this gypsy jazz on guitars requires one hell of a "strummer" or more strummers to
make the "sound". So another "name" to add to the list of great gypsy jazz guitar players
is Hank Marvin. He has a lot on YouTube if you want to listen to him more. So I like this
Hank Marvin "Noto Swing" a lot.
