Saw Chano Dominguez at the newly refurbished Ford Amphitheatre Friday night. He did a
flamenco interpretation of Miles Davis’ ‘Sketches Of Spain’. It was, in a word, unbelievable.
The dancer, Daniel Navarro, was like three woodpeckers on meth, but artistically so.
Henry Cole might be the best drummer I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some of the greats.
The cantaor, Blas Cordoba, is justly esteemed. And the bassist, Alexis Cuadrado, was also
from another planet.
Here’s a minute and a half of their encore...(a pity you don’t get the cantaor and dancer)

First jazz vid. A few others of varying genres.
I would never photograph or video a live performance like this but I figured a minute of the encore wasn’t too egregious.
BTW, ‘Sketches Of Spain’ was recorded the year Chano was born in Cadiz, España.
He mentioned what a huge influence it was on him at an early age. So cool.

Suicide is Painless (Theme from M*A*S*H)

SUICIDE IS PAINLESS
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless (suicide)
It brings on many changes (changes)
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger
Watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied oh why ask me?
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please
Songwriters: Johnny Mandel / Michael B Altman

 A rather sentimental tune; I've always enjoyed its emotive lilt and the lyrics are inward reaching.

Haunting artwork from hooblie's post of Henri Texier Azur Quartet is sometimes reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss and other works.

Christ, where to start …
Top of this group of 20 should do.
I listen to all of these offerings three times each, minimum. It's often been said that climbing can be as complicated and intriguing as a game of chess. I'll have to stick a dart on the bull's-eye of the jazz-board of analogies as well.
It's clear I'm not the only one on this message board who no longer climbs, nor am I the only one who finds in jazz a suitable respite for the adventurous heart.
Let's see: Reilly's Chano snippet along with Yanqui’s encore was much appreciated. Eddie Harris and Ray Charles would approve!
Two or three notes into Laura Ochikubo's soprano saxophone, and we know it's The Trane!
And yes, it does tugg at the heartstrings of our feelings for the fallen.
The Miraphone assemblage fairly blew my mind wide open. In the opening moves of the fabrication process I was thinking to myself: so crude … this can't be the beginning of something eventuating in some artifact expressing exactitude and revelations of the expression of fine tolerances … Joyously: WRONG!
A devout Robert Altman fan, I recently watched the original M*A*S*H.
(The DVD box set of his full oeuvre is hard to come by)
Is suicide painless? Little did I know that Anthony Bourdain & Kate Spade, two admirable brand builders, would concurrently slip out the door.
DAMN! Nature and I thought we might be able to reel him in for a sushi fest! You gotta know that guy was going to be completely personable and all about the subculture. DAMN! He will be missed.
Speaking to Largo's offering: I think it was you, way up thread a bit, hooblie, who reminded us that Snarky Puppy were also North Texas University alumni along with Norah Jones and Pat Matheny?
At some point, we'll have to revive Largo's jazz fusion thread. Now that's a genre that lights my fire!
But then, THEN, you had to go and revive Michel Petrucciani.
Had to do it. It was on that sort of basis: understood.
Did that guy have chops & heart or what?
And out of THAT thread I was reminded of Joe Sample.
Vignette ALERT!
BITD, Joe Sample used to do summer festivals in Mammoth Lakes.
1980, summer, my memory might be fairly blended, daiquiri style, but I think Merle Haggard actually showed up at one of those Joe Sample headliner affairs. Bruce Brossman, Yosemite Mountaineering School director, was all about the Western rig, as was I, and we were pigs in slop, sitting in the hay in our pointy-toed sh#t kickers, Merle starting out with his chin sunk into his chest country-blues resignation style, then slinging that honky-tonk …

Joe Sample picked me up hitch hiking in Mammoth, in 1984 - the year I moved there. I told him I was a big fan of his and we were acquainted after that. His musical appearances there were always wonderful experiences! They were some of the best musical events that I remember before Bluesapalooza.
