Is it epiphany or regression? At the risk of casting pearls.... From Takeshi Nishimoto's "Lavandula": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGEeRgiQsXE&ab_channel=TakeshiNishimoto-Topic Might not be jazz and if it is, sure ain't old school - but it's beautiful. Greetings in the new year. |
Lavandula was nice; it definitely takes you on a musical journey, and it most certainly is not "Stereotypical". some might say it's not "jazz"; so what, either you like it or you don't, and I like it. Takeshi Nishimoto is someone I've never heard of, nor does he sound like anyone I've heard; that's good, it makes me want to hear whatever else he has to offer. Thanks for a good clip. |
Very pleased to hear your take on it as a musical journey, O. After I posted the link was thinking exactly that and how it related to your earlier post. The whole LP does indeed make for a nice musical journey. Master Nishimoto is a superb tour guide. The entirety will be worth your while, if you are so inclined. Personally, it took a while for me to get my head around it. Couldn’t make sense of the individual compositions initially. It kept drawing me back though...maybe ’cause the sonics and textures are so appealing. Anyway, some things really do get better with repeated listening. |
In regard to "regression"; presently, I'm attempting to stay in a steady state of "mellowness"; that is the same frame of mind I have always preferred; maybe I'm regressing back to that. In regard to music, I just ordered a CD, "The Diverse Yuseff Lateef" because my vinyl copy was too noisy. I thought about replacing Grant Green "Idle Moments" LP, but since they're asking "50. bucks, my old LP really doesn't sound that bad; "equanimity" sounds like a good word to express my attempted state of mind. (it's fun to use a word when You're not quite sure what it means, lets look it up) am-webster.com/dictionary/equanimity Both "equanimity" and "equal" are derived from "aequus," a Latin adjective meaning "level" or "equal." "Equanimity" comes from the combination of "aequus" and "animus" ("soul" or "mind") in the Latin phrase aequo animo, which means "with even mind." Equanimity | Define Equanimity at Dictionary.com Sounds close enough. My old music is still sounding very good in rotation with anything new that I acquire; I don't know if that's regression or not; I'll let you make the call. Yes, I am so inclined and will place that CD on order. Enjoy the music. |
