When I'm composing, I find meaning in the act of challenging myself, and/or to make some kind of a puzzle for myself that I have to solve in the music. Oftentimes, I make up rules for myself that I have to follow, like for example when I'm using the knitting pattern for Thordis' fichu as a basis for my compositions (I'll post one of those compositions in the comments - the Finnish Sähkökitarakvartetti playing Hyrnan IV). As you could imagine, this does not make my work simple or easy, or maybe I'm just not clever enough to be able to do this easily in a way that I would be happy with, so - hard mode it is!

When I'm composing with the knitting pattern, I do a lot of experiments and sketches, and then I choose the bits and pieces I like most, and try to make something out of those. It can be really complicated to put the sketches together in a way that makes sense for me. Therefore, while I'm working on the composition, I have to get used to everything sounding terrible before it starts to sound better, and keep chiselling away at the heap of awfulness until something I'm happy with starts emerging.

I missed posting this on Friday but since the music is from the diaspora we'll just say the delay was due to travel. Recently saw Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Great show. This cut is La Puerta. youtu.be/qcQ2c0jllhw
Also check out the group's fund raising effort to build Cafe Belongó, a cultural hub in East Harlem NYC arturoofarrill.com/news/belong

Emeritus Prof Christopher May

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.72

Jimmy Smith. Mission Impossible

On hearing this version, Lalo Schifrin (its composer) apparently immediately admitted it was much better than his original, recorded for the TV series. Jimmy Smith's version cranks up the rhythm, keeps the original horn & strings arrangement, and adds a blistering organ solo on the middle. Its a blast & remains a favourite spin on Prof DJ's jazz nights.

Amir Bresler: Tide and Time

This is like the piano jazz version of magical realism. Lovely progressive piano/bass/drum subtly becomes something more, grander, more... magical. The Israeli drummer working with pianist Nitai Hershkovits & producer Rejoicer create coherent compositions out of spontaneous studio experimenting. This is exactly what I want all my jazz to sound like. Dreamy. Enjoy!
