Pharoah's Tune (The Journey)
Leon Thomas



There are so many newly imported CD's that you have to choose carefully in order not to repeat.




Enjoy the music.

Acman, "Kharma" is the first one of these records I'm going to replace. I've got two stacks of records for Goodwill. No, they are not good enough for any "Audiophile" so out they go.


Enjoy the music.

Frogman, you are right.


Enjoy the music.

Today's Listen:

Charles Mingus -- CHANGES ONE

The first track is the clip I have posted. " Remember Rockefeller at Attica"
This refers to the bloody prison riot that took place while Rockefeller was Governor of NY.

This tune sounds very upbeat to me.  Esp Don Pullen on piano.  I read the liner notes, and find out that the tune's original name was changed, by Mingus,  to 'Remember Rockefeller at Attica'.   The name was changed,  but not the music.   He said he wanted people to remember the incident.   WTF!!!

Which got me to thinking about how Jazz tunes are named.  Should / does the name and music have any relationship?  Should a person be able to hear and follow the theme or subject indicated by the name?  

Of course, most are self-explanatory, or obvious,  esp the standards and tunes from Broadway or pop music. etc......

Perhaps The Frogman can enlighten us.  Or me.  I am sure everyone else knows this.

Cheers
