Friday mp3s: Compare and contrast: Ike and Tina Turner, 1966 outtakes at BigO, Singapore:"...eight tracks containing 18 takes of the 1966 Ike and Tina Turner classic, River Deep, Mountain High." Max Roach, Beijing Trio, Zurich 2001, Live at the Gessnerhalle, Jazznojazz Festival, Zurich, Switzerland, October 28, 2001.. Reviewing the trio's self-titled 1999 album, Corroto wrote: "The recording, a combination of duos and trios of Roach’s drums, Jang's piano and Chen's erhu, a Chinese two-string violin, is an intimate portrait of well, let's call it blues. Jang has made his career at the piano fusing Chinese sounds with jazz. His overtly political music has been well documented on Soul Note and Asian Improv Record labels... This isn’t a gimmicky recording in the least. It’s at times a drum clinic, other times meditative music, and mostly great interplay between improvisers. To paraphrase Duke Ellington there is no such thing as world music (jazz), just good music and bad music. Look for this disc on many, including my top ten releases for 1999." One of our cats is named Max, after this man. (The other is Miles...) Big chance: Costello 30 Years Ago. Elvis Costello Live at The Riviera, Chicago, Illinois, December 3, 1977. He opened for Tom Petty.
