time for something a little lighthearted jazz theatre.  dr. pinch himself is a bit over the top, layering on his character a bit thick, but what can you expect from “a minor character from the comedy of errors“?  and the pinchtones are marvelous.  they’d be a fun band to have at a garden party, if you lived in los angeles and had lots of money.  or at a wedding, except the doctor would no doubt try to steal the show…

here’s what i’m listening to just this minute.  it’s another fair sized group — this is not an intentional theme, btw  — but i think quite different to the last two.  no tracking on this, as it’s a video demux (so .ac3 format), but i haven’t seen many good places to break it into tracks (plus: the hassle!).  so enjoy it as i am:  as one continuous performance.

btw, if you like a midsummer night’s dream, and i most certainly do, check out the globe theatre production, available on youtube until the 28th.

Following the darcy james argue show, here’s another couple of shows with large groups, both led by maria schneider.  i had trouble deciding between the ndr big band and the parco della musica jazz orchestra, so why not both?  nothing exceeds like excess.   funny, i didn’t set out to have another big band / jazz orchestra posting, but it’s kind of nice it worked out that way.  enjoy!

bombdiggity – 2012-09

this was broadcast in two segments with considerable discussion throughout.  no applause was present. i edited to music only and added spaces to put fairly consistent distance between each track. i also ordered the tracks to provide a coherence and flow that i felt suited to the music that was provided.  the selection leaned toward the earlier era and contemplative end of his work.  one track was faded out quickly (and challenged my programming ideas regarding flow). one track was unannounced and i cannot recall the title. help with that would be appreciated (and i’ll update these notes).
