An introduction

A sampling of some of the better things I have written for this blog:

"We are the world, and we suck" (on the death of Michael Jackson)

"I forgot to remember to write this post" (on Elvis Presley)

"The world we have lost" (on the fetishization of audio media)

"...the adventure ends" (on the IJG east coast tour, January 2007)

My interview with Brian Watson of the LA-based jazz / new music group Watts Ensemble

My interview with Rob Waller, of the LA-based country band, I See Hawks in LA

A post about how my elementary school students listened to new jazz

"RIAA breaks guitars, and music in general" (a response to the Joel Tenenbaum case)

Posts on the IJG Netherlands tour (2007): part one, part two, and part three

"No one dances in New York" (my response to a Nate Chinen critique of the IJG)

"The impossibility of the avant-garde" (a brief critique of the idea of revolutionary art)

"The wages of profanity and political commentary" (about how it is still possible to go too far in jazz)
