Musical perfection 5 day challenge. Day 3 and yes, perhaps - TopicsExpress



          

Musical perfection 5 day challenge. Day 3 and yes, perhaps inevitably Im afraid its jazz. In fact not only is it jazz, its jazz of the difficult avant garde variety. And yet were still very firmly in I dont understand why this isnt much more popular territory here. And judging from the frequency with which this and various other Mingus signature tunes are featured in film soundtracks, incidental and theme music for TV programmes and advertisements (for products which, presumably, the people making and paying for the the adverts want you to buy rather than trying to alienate you), Im not the only one who thinks that. So go on, give it a listen, just see if you can resist the urge to start tapping your toes to those hideously convoluted polyrhythms and maybe even humming along to those awful unsequenced series of unrelated, discordant and atonal notes. My nominee today is Tom Caulfield, damn my eyes, etc.
