    “What a load of crap. Next time, mate, keep your drug tripping private.” JACQUES A person on Facebook. STEWART “What utter drivel” Another person on Facebook. “I may be in the minority here, but I find these editorial pieces to be completely unreadable garbage.” Guess where that one came from. “No, you’re not. Honestly, I think of this the same Bond thinks of his obituary by M.” Chap above’s made a chum. This might be what Facebook is for. That’s rather lovely. Isn’t the internet super? “I don’t get it either and I don’t have the guts to say it because I fear their rhetoric or they’d might just ignore me. After reading one of these I feel like I’ve walked in on a Specter round table meeting of which I do not belong. I suppose I’m less a Bond fan because I haven’t read all the novels. I just figured these were for the fans who’ve read all the novels including the continuation ones, fan’s of literary Bond instead of the films. They leave me wondering if I can even read or if I even have a grasp of the language itself.” No comment. This ebook is not for sale but only available as a free download at Commanderbond.net.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 © Copyright by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia by Alex Warner Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Steven J. Loza, Chair Drawing from anthropological fieldwork in three jazz clubs, this dissertation explores the global scale of contemporary jazz practice through an examination of the communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, California; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia. These spaces, which bear striking similarities to one another both in terms of architectural aesthetics and community practices despite the vast distance between them, are investigated as instantiations of jazz space informed by logics of jazz listening, and as sites of jazz practice—a process that I call jazz anthropology. It argues that to understand why jazz practices continue to manifest anywhere, we must understand what they mean to people elsewhere—that is, beyond the music’s geographical centers of production on the U.S. East Coast. By attending to these peripheries, we can hear the music as a manifestation of jazz consciousness, as tendrils of black radical modes of thinking transposed to far-flung geographies—even ones that very few black people inhabit. To situate these practices in a longer genealogical timespan, the dissertation also includes brief historical ii sketches of jazz practice in each of the three locations in 1917, 1959, and 1990, demonstrating the long local histories that inform the music in each locale.

  • James Taylor, March 2015
    jamestaylor.com concordmusicgroup.com P&C2015 JAMES TAYLOR. UNDER EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO CONCORD MUSIC GROUP, INC. 100 N. CRESCENT DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS, CA 90210. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICATION IS A VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS. It’s been a while. I guess we started this project in January 2010 when Jimmy Johnson and Steve Gadd joined me and Dave O’Donnell in the barn next to my house to record some demos: bass, drums & guitar. None of these tracks had any lyrics; I whistled the melody. I took 2013 off, more or less, to write but it wasn’t until September, with deadlines looming, that I really got down to it. These days, life is full and lyric writing needs empty time, so the only thing for it was to borrow Bee & Val’s place in Newport for a week at a time; thanks, guys. After a few quiet days, the songs started to come through. I walked around town, I rowed around the harbor and I cooked my meals with one call to home at dinnertime. I had a different notebook for each song; written down on the right page and edited on the left. Bits of lyrics on napkins, and envelopes and little scraps of music recorded on my phone… In January 2014, I brought the band — Jimmy Johnson, Bass; Larry Goldings, Pianos; Mike Landau, Guitars and Steve Gadd, Drums — to our home, where Ellyn Kusmin and Dave O’Donnell had transformed the barn into a studio, “aqueduct for our porpoises”… Ralph and JP came down from Vermont to help set us up and we got started.

  • Goldings-Bio.Pdf
    Larry Goldings Larry Goldings is a Grammy-nominated pianist and composer. His organ trio with Peter Bernstein and Bill Stewart has been recognized in the New York Times as "the best organ trio of the last decade." Goldings’ musical inspirations draw from a lifetime of absorbing jazz, pop, funk, R&B, electronic and classical music. As a performer and recording artist, he is known for long-term collaborations that straddle the realms of jazz and pop with such artists as Jim Hall, Maceo Parker, John Scofield, Steve Gadd, Jack DeJohnette, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Sia Furler, John Mayer, and others. Goldings has been recording and touring with singer-songwriter James Taylor since 2001, and is the featured musician on Taylor's One Man Band CD/DVD, the culmination of a two year world-wide tour with James and Larry in duet. In 2007, Scofield/Goldings/DeJohnette's Trio Beyond - Saudades (ECM) was recognized with a Best Instrumental Jazz Album Grammy nomination for their searing live recording at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Goldings’ music graces the soundtracks of many film and television projects. He contributed to the jazzy fabric of Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys and enhanced John Madden's Proof and Judd Apatow's Funny People with original compositions, as well as providing ghoulish organ music for "Lurch" to play in the animated film, The Addams Family. Goldings' Nino Rota-inspired score to Jeff Garlin's Dealin' With Idiots is the backdrop to this hilarious film about the zany parents of a Little League baseball team. Listeners of NPR's This American Life can hear Goldings' music underscoring many of its dramatic stories.
