Non-trombone music that we like

AndrewMeronek · by **AndrewMeronek** » 2020-12-17 11:20 a.m.

One highlight of this otherwise depressing year has been finding good music. One of them is this Ukranian prog "metal" band, Jinjer. I don't particularly care how people label this band genre-wise - they're fun. Thinking back, I'm not really sure when I got into this kind of stuff, although this is the first band I've come across where I've gotten to appreciate the screaming vocal styles. Kind of makes me wish that more people were willing to do this kind of experimentation in jazz. Alas. An obvious comparison is the Rite Of Spring, in terms of the rhythmic complexity. But I think that the first "popular" band I came across that dove into more complex meters was Radiohead. I know, not the first, but possibly the first for me.

Who else would like to share some cool non-trombone music that they've discovered this year?

Here's another one. Non-trombone, for sure. From three years ago, technically, but new to me.

There couldn't be much more of a contrast to Classic Rock to be found than New Age... to be found on Sirius/XM Spa Channel 68, for example. I like both.

That wooden flute with lots of reverb definitely is on the lighter side. Cool tone, different than what we get on modern transverse flutes. Almost like a recorder.

Well, that's one that I have never heard of. From Wikipedia:

"Punching in a Dream" is a song by New Zealand indie electronic band The Naked and Famous from their debut studio album, Passive Me, Aggressive You (2010)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punching_in_a_Dream

A bit too much on the "predictable" side for me, as far as the song arrangement itself goes. Nice clean sound, though, and the girl can sing.

Yui is a great Japanese singer who I like to listen to for my sound concept on alto.

The opening line showcases the beauty of the Japanese language:

Tooi mukashi shasshin de mita

(In a photograph from long ago)

Akai yane no tsuzuku machi de

(I saw a town with red roofs stretching out)

La la la la, de au ki ga shite ita

(I had a feeling I'd meet you there)

Because the language is 100% the opposite of English word order, the way the info comes into your head is as above, but the literal and much less poetic english translation would be more like:

"I had a feeling I'd meet you in the meandering town with the red roofs that I saw in a photo from a distant long ago"

Nice. Seems like a precursor to a slide guitar. This reminds me - speaking of unusual playing technique, a friend of mine hipped me to the berimbau. I've never seen anything quite like it, and has a super-rich tone.

For me I'm a huge Ben Folds/Five fan.

He's a great song writer and has some fantastic melodies. Some quirky stuff too. I've also noticed that his songs always end properly rather than do that fade out which I find annoying

You can find his stuff with the Western Australia SO and with ymusic who are a group formed from when they were at Julliard.

He has also composed a piano concerto which for a pop musician is pretty good!

I've been lucky enough to have seen him a lot live and have never been disappointed.

And for music on my side of the pond I've been getting back into my teens ie Britpop/indie. Blur/Oasis/Radiohead/Ocean Colour Scene, the list goes on. For me "modern" music has gone to pot and I can't stand it.

Bach5G · by **Bach5G** » 2020-12-24 2:57 p.m.

I’ve posted several times how much I like my Alexa. It’s not perfect. It has difficulty finding Wes Montgomery’s Smokin’ at the Half Note. It found Arnold Schoenberg after I got the umlaut pronunciation to its liking. No luck with Webern though. I’m listening and enjoying Al DiMeola new flamenco right now. I wonder, sometimes, whether all this free access has completely devalued music. All recorded music is just background music, just Muzak.

My introduction to Barbara Dennerlein was maybe a couple of years ago. I have in my CD collection an Elliot Carter album, but upon playing it heard some great jazz funk. Turns out that the CD was either mislabeled or mis-burned, and was actually Dennerlein's album "That's Me" and is one of the ones with Ray Anderson. A very awesome "mistake" find. :cool:

This was probably one of the first viral videos on YouTube. It was released in 2006 (I remember, I was 10!). He also plays harp guitar.

Nai Palm / Hiatus Kaiyote (her quartet) are making some of my favorite music right now. They have a unique style blending R&B, soul, extended harmony and so much more into a really complete package.

Here's a group you might enjoy: Band-Maid. All female rock band from Japan who write their own stuff. Driving, melodic, technical, layered, catchy. You'll need to listen to each song a few times to notice all the nuances between the guitars/drums/bass. Great great stuff!

I don't speak a lick of Japanese, but it doesn't matter.

Their live stuff is recommended, but everything is awesome. Start with a few from their live Covid show: 'Warning', 'No God'; then check out their music videos: 'Dice' and 'Blooming'.

These two can just kill it! Cool to also see them talk about listening and how they came up with this version.

An awesome percussion quartet I stumbled upon a few years ago playing a random gig. Instantly became one of my favorites!

Valentina Lisitsa has a youtube video, “I hate Rachmaninov.” It has links and references to her Decca release of Rachmaninov piano concertos recorded in the UK. She studied the original recordings of Rachmaninov playing Rachmaninov. She doesn’t try to kill it or Schmaltz it up. The sound quality is several notches better than the average cd. She played twice live with the Wichita Symphony but not Rachmaninov.

In fairness, there is a trombone player in this submission on YouTube. But the feature is Makiko Tamura playing “Clarinet Marmalade” on clarinet in the style of George Lewis. It is a little loose but well done.

Of course I like George Lewis. And Andre Previn. And Diana Krall.

For the last decade, I've been following the career of this young cellist/ guitarist/ singer/ songwriter. I've especially enjoyed her solo cello improvisations, like this one:

On the opposite end of the contemporary cellist/ singer/ songwriter spectrum, there's Rushad Eggleston, a Berklee grad gone rogue:

I'm a big fan of Chris Botti's music (especially his collaboration with Sting)!
