  • This may seem super random to many but some of y’all Jazz heads might have my answer. On Duke Ellington’s Mood Indigo (Masterpieces version) and Black and Tan Fantasy (Newport version) there’s a horn that is manipulated to the point where it sounds like a man singing, shit you not in some cases it sounds like Louis Armstrong. Does anyone know how they extract such a sound from a horn? It’s mindbending on good speaks!

    It's @seeirwin ! Apologies Mr. Seeirwin, I forgot your name. But I think you have so much jazz knowledge, you may be able to help @ghostdorado out!

    I'll have to go back and listen but I'm guessing it's probably a trumpet with a plunger (as in toilet plunger) mute. Here's a little video about it:

    Check out Albert Ayler. He was known for breaking the from the traditional saxophone sound and found a much more raw sound as a result, which was often described as 'singing'. In fact, John Coltrane became obsessed with his spiritual sounds sounds ('Meditations' is a good example of this shift). This is too technical for me as a non instrument player, but Ayler used a 'plastic Fibrecane no. 4 reed' in his alto sax.

    Playing around with cancelling my two VMP tracks to put money towards the Blue Note/Tone Poet series but FOMO is real for VMP :/. A healthy jazz collection would make me a happy camper though.
    Been holding off on buying Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue for fear of buying a crappy digitally sourced pressing. Any pointers on which Is the affordable copy to get?
    Starting an interview format music podcast! I want to interview artists about the defining moments that led to them devoting their lives to music. My goal is to talk to more musicians about their mental health and philosophies (the heros journey, etc etc.). Need help coming up with a name y'all. Current ideas include (For The Record *which seems cliche*, Dust In The Grooves, Side A) thats all I got. Ideas?

    All great advice and names. Thank you guys, lots of ideas starting to flow now with all of your help and suggestions! Really like Off Key, Strike A Chord, Real to Reel (took me a sec to see the Real in there lol). I’m going to keep you all updated as I get closer to the first episode. Need to scoop up some lapel mics, my blue yeti picks up way too much background noise and altering the gain doesn’t help much :/

    Just saw Rocketman. Incredible film, everything Bohemian Rhapsody should’ve been.

    @duke86fan yes! You just might not know all of the big songs that come up but nonetheless you’ll be able to appreciate it. Bohemian Rhapsody to me was a very surface level biopic where as this one really focuses on Elton and his addiction and how it affected his relationships. Felt a lot more valuable to watch!

    @ghostdorado Sounds interesting. From my understanding, that's exactly what Bohemian Rhapsody steered away from doing

    @Dead C ywah that shit was too Disney for me! Albeit a well done done PG-13 biopic but it really suffered as a result. Contrary to popular belief I think The Doors was a fantastic biopic because of how real it was. Didn’t shy away from anything.
    Just stumbled upon Andrew Bird for the first time. Pleasantly surprised. Anyone have any albums from him I should check out? Currently listening you Fingerlings 4
