Blogging from New Orleans, La

14 January 2005

I normally don’t play those blogger games, but at the risk of embarassing myself I’ll join the music shuffle craze. Here’s the drill, shuffle through your entire music collect and list the first ten tracks.

  1. “The ‘I Poem’ Variation,” Uri Caine (Goldberg Variations) [avant-garde jazz/classical]
  2. “Fernanda,” Diego Carraso (A tiempo) [flamenco nuevo]
  3. “As a Child,” Horace Tapscott (Thoughts of Dar es Salaam) [post-bop jazz]
  4. “Yard Dog,” Roy Eldridge (After Your Gone) [jazz]
  5. “Priase God and Dance,” Duke Ellington (Second Sacred Concert) [jazz]
  6. “Sacred Music from Iran,” Avay-e Doust Ensemble (Under the Moroccan Sky) [trad. Iranian music]
  7. “Rabn Tants,” Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band (Tsirkus) [klezmer]
  8. “‘Lude,” Don Byron (Romance with the Unseen) [avant-garde jazz]
  9. “Whatcha Want, Lady?” The Beastles [Beatles and Beastie Boys mash-up]
  10. “Swing Spring,” Joe Henderson (So Near, So Far) [be bop jazz]

Not an entirely unexpected list. I’ve actually got a lock of rock, blues and country. I’m surprised that none of it showed up. [First played by Unfogged and Matt]
