Duke Pearson wrote Cristo Redentor which Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat) covered in his 1968 psych album of the same title, and which informs the sound of Dark Side of the Moon. Bowie was listening to Mandel's album while writing Hunky Dory.
It's all about Rhythm you see - - from the prose in that book to the grooves in a record. Rhythm puts us in sync with the solar system. We are under the gravitational illusion of standing still even though we are traveling at 66,000 miles an hour. If you are Very fit, 66,020 mph. But we don't FEEL it, and so music was invented. Rhythm gives us the moves to hitch a ride on, to get with the motion of our planet through space. That motion is circular and cyclical, so rhythm has to have cyclic refrains to sync with the movement of the Earth through space. That's right. Rhythm moves our minds and bodies through space to simulate our actual movement inbetween meals. At its very core, Rhythm is space travel. Even if it's only Leonard Nimoy's Music To Watch Space Girls By. When audiophiles solemnly convene to make the scene, that needle orbiting the disc is a symbolic microcosm of what they're Really doing, and this is why audiophiles are as serious as astro-physicists. They're keeping track of the motion that makes the world go round. What's that sound? It's the pulse of the rhythm of the sound of 66,000 mph resolved into 33 rpm. 33 1/3 if you're Very fit.
Good lookin hat! Thanks for the video, love it. Also, I really appreciate all the book references, I've ordered all the books you recommend on your channel and live streams I've watched in the VC, and have not been disappointed. Good stuff!
Great reading recommendations Mazzy. Man I’ve been a fan of Duke Pearson’s Wahoo since I bought the cd about 25 years ago. I would love that as a Tone Poet! It is one of my favourite Blue Note albums. Also I would love it if they reissued Donald Byrd’s Electric Byrd. Great video Mazzy ! The chapeau is snazzy Mazzy !
Mazzy, you are truly in your element when you’re doing these Jazz Music reviews, outreach/education. Awesome music and in depth appreciation. So it really is about the music and not only the pressing. I will be searching for the Studs Terkel book and as you know, Studs conducted a very early radio interview of Bob Dylan that is FAB!! Thanks again.
Hello Mazzy, Thanks for showing these albums. Great covers. Not a chance we show these reissues in France but sometimes we are lucky and come across an early French or US pressings. Sometimes, these are the best deal : great albums that nobody knows ! I agree with you for Paul Chambers. He is the reason of my last jazz purchase saturday, a Kenny Drew Trio he was part of. Take care. Bruno
That is one fine piece of headwear Mazzy. Brings to mind the late great Lester Young and how I first got to know him through Mingus's song about him on one of my first forays into jazz so many years ago. First time I read Studs Terkel was when I was visiting some relatives in Austen TX on the late 80's. In the bedroom I was sleeping in there was this book by him called "Working" that contained a collection of interviews with a variety of different American workers describing their day to day work. It was brilliant, and though I was only there for a week but I finished in about 2 days. I was amazed that his work was near to unheard of in New Zealand. Next time I came across him was the Dylan/StudsTerkel album where I realised what a great natural interviewer he truly was and why I was so taken by "Working". I must get my hands on that "Giants of Jazz". Thank you for all those great recommendations. Peace. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat(for now😎).
Those Miles Davis first great quintet albums were recorded during two separate one day sessions in 1956 - May and October. They were released 1957-1961, but recorded earlier. Agreed on Relaxin' - top five Miles album for me.
i was just listening to coltrane's 'meditations' vinyl...this video segued perfectly....and love the brim baby....your brother has great taste...looks so good on you...love that you talked about books...i was going thru some of the ones i wrote the other day....seeing which ones were still available....you also mentioned liner notes and i used to write a column for 'liner notes' magazine...but from the day i was born, i spent hours, days, and decades in sam goodys record store reading the liner notes of every album in the store...i guess they feel that today's generation doesn't read anymore...and of course the flipside, the record covers...one of my distinct passions....it's funny how some just immediately come to mind...the one i thought of was the sonny terry/brownie mcgee/coyal mcmahan classic 'get on board' (not to be confused with the recent ones you have shown)...this cover had a texture to it that fit perfectly with the scene, and the album inside followed suit....cool man indeed.....please be well my friend...my thogghts are with you always...peace among us...rocky
Love the book recommendations. Keep them coming. I just finished “Who by Fire” about Leonard Cohen’s impromptu visit to Israel during the 1973 war. Amazing story.
Bob Stanley “Let’s Do It” marvelous work on the story of pop from its beginnings to present day that will have you rushing to check out Bing, Louis, etc on your fave streaming service, Brian Case “ On the Snap” the NME jazz guys little gem, jazz record wise - Sam records in Paris for lovingly issued records by Chet Baker, Donald Byrd etc, a one man operation that screams class. Great video Mazzy
Thanks for giving me another book to look out for, if I may be so bold as to recommend one to you, Joe Jacksons, A cure for Gravity, you'll love it, I'm sure, peace and love man.
Thanks for this. I sure do love jazz. Sorry I missed part of this. Had to be busy in the kitchen. I was wondering about that Little Girl Blue. Is that the same song that Janis Joplin sang? Thanks for your info. So much learning here to digest.
Not a fan of their Blow Up record. Amazing recording and sounds great but musically it reminds me of a jazz combo playing in the lounge of an airport Hilton Hotel ✌🏼. Had the Impex issue and gave it away.
Mazzy any Horace Parlan steeplecase recordings ? Donald byrd- Everyone on UA-cam show the same recordings over & over at Nauseam. How about Jimmy Knepper the Big Talent behind Mingus
"Cookin' with Miles" is the other - I know, I know you knew that - hey call me a pedantic wanker✌. I was yelling it at the screen but it's a long way from Napier, NZ to Seattle.
Great video Mazzy. I ordered that Giants of Jazz book looks great. If you have not, you need to check out Bop Apocalypse: Jazz, Race, the Beats, and Drugs by Martin Torgoff. All of those Prestige records are great. Check out the Red Garland 7130. Felipe and I think it is the best of the latest batch.
Wow. Amazing half brother story Mazzy. So pleased for you.
Duke Pearson wrote Cristo Redentor which Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat) covered in his 1968 psych album of the same title, and which informs the sound of Dark Side of the Moon. Bowie was listening to Mandel's album while writing Hunky Dory.
Really great hat
For the jazz people RIP Joey Defrancesco

lester young lives vicariously through you. great video.
Indeed, the hat is a work of art -I would deffo like one. The Miles records are on my watch list
RIP - Creed Taylor
Always enjoy your take on art and books. I need to pick up Giants of Jazz. Thanks for sharing.

Mazzy, thanks sop much for the recent book recommendations! All have been ordered :)
Straight, no chaser is by the great Monk.
Nice hat and episode, Mazzy.
Cool, man! Dig it!
I scored a very early press of Wahoo early this year. Only copy I've ever come across, easily one of my best finds this year.
Good lookin hat! Thanks for the video, love it. Also, I really appreciate all the book references, I've ordered all the books you recommend on your channel and live streams I've watched in the VC, and have not been disappointed. Good stuff!
wow thats a gorgeous hat
I just recorded a music man video that I’m about to publish ha! I got to get that Giants book. Right up my alley.
there is an amazing hat shop in Lisbon, mazzy - been there since the 1880's - called Chapelarias. if you're not already aware of it, you'd love it....
I guess I need to get over to Lisbon 🤠
Great vid again, danke. 😁🇩🇪
Love books about music and the recording industry. Cool lid Daddio! 😎

I’ll seek out the Dylan interview. Thank you for the kind comments. ✌🏻

That hat slays! What a wonderful gift.
I like to slay 🤠🕺
I used to have that Gene Ammons album in a 70’s twofer. Another great way to hear the music as you have also noted.
That is a bad hat man.
🤠

Oh yeah Lester’s Porkpies
Very nice hat there. Good pickup from Davis also.
Love the Beatnik ending!

"Willow Weep for Me" (1932) has music and lyrics by Ann Ronell.
Great videos Maz! However…..every time I watch a video of yours…..my wallet thins out a little more 🙂. Continue sharing your knowledge!
We love this Mazy, thanks for info.

Wayne's world hat with hair
Looking great sharp.
Gotta look sharp ✌🏼
Records and books what else do you need.
Thanks for giving me another book to look out for, if I may be so bold as to recommend one to you, Joe Jacksons, A cure for Gravity, you'll love it, I'm sure, peace and love man.
Sounds interesting ✌🏼
Thanks for this. I sure do love jazz. Sorry I missed part of this. Had to be busy in the kitchen. I was wondering about that Little Girl Blue. Is that the same song that Janis Joplin sang? Thanks for your info. So much learning here to digest.
Yes Janis covered it too on Kosmic.
Jazzy Mazzy!
About the books, any change to get your rated your Beatles books? I am specially inrested the female point of view.
Cool daddy-o
Boss ✌🏼
3 Blind Mice Recordings-
Not a fan of their Blow Up record. Amazing recording and sounds great but musically it reminds me of a jazz combo playing in the lounge of an airport Hilton Hotel ✌🏼. Had the Impex issue and gave it away.
Considering you where barry white last week.
Mazzy any Horace Parlan steeplecase recordings ? Donald byrd- Everyone on UA-cam show the same recordings over & over at Nauseam. How about Jimmy Knepper the Big Talent behind Mingus
Only have several Parlan Blue Notes 🎹
Happy birthday 🎂
....belated???
Thank you ✌🏼
@@mazzysmusic 👍💯
damn that's a sultry voice
🤠😎
Studs was great.
Ralph Gleason too.
Yup
"Cookin' with Miles" is the other - I know, I know you knew that - hey call me a pedantic wanker✌. I was yelling it at the screen but it's a long way from Napier, NZ to Seattle.
Mazzy, did you get the Relaxin’ small batch? I wonder how it compares to AP’s pressing.
Yes. I’ll eventually compare. It’s not something I usually do but I’m intrigued ✌🏼
thanks again.a jazz book i would recommend would be but beautiful by geoff dyer.
Great video Mazzy. I ordered that Giants of Jazz book looks great. If you have not, you need to check out Bop Apocalypse: Jazz, Race, the Beats, and Drugs by Martin Torgoff. All of those Prestige records are great. Check out the Red Garland 7130. Felipe and I think it is the best of the latest batch.
It’s an easy interesting read 🎹✨
I read Bob Apocalypse last year. That was a crazy read but definitely worthwhile.
