And don’t know if you can remember, but I do remember the exact time that I got interested in music, like really interested about a song, I liked music before, but no in the same way as the first time I heard this

This minimalist “riff “ echoes in my head, in slow motion, since then I got to find more of that, I got to feed more of that stuff. Since that day there’s a real reason to hear music. And even if my tastes now moves sometimes far away from that, it still gives me a smile.…

Well, the brightest minds of my office install a new proxy on the server and now I can’t scrobble anything. Radio works, everything works, but last.fm don’t wanna know what I’m listening (winamp or itunes).
And last.fm support keeps giving me answers like “Do you check if you are logged in?”
That means fewer songs per week … or more work hours to my ipod. And that’s a shame because all my music doesn’t fit in an 80gb ipod (who actually have less than 74gb of real space).

That video is because a lot of Charlie Parker’s songs…

Excuses from my crappy english (and excessive use of the word “because”), my beautiful lady editor is in bed recovering from a surgical procedure, so I’m going at raw!

After read a little bit about the life of the great jazz/classical pianist Keith Jarrett, it came to my mind some other names of great skilled and creative musicians, people who make our life richer with his music, but people you definitely don’t wanna meet (or work with!), because they’re full time assholes!!

We got Jarrett, who screams to the audience and stops concerts because they…well…they’re coughing!! Among other things,…

Since a long time ago I’ve been a fan of well crafted, progressive, technical and complex music. From a perfect solo by Louis Armstrong with the hot 5’s and 7’s to the note madness of Spastik Ink; from Bach to Nile, but always trying to avoid swedish fat guys with rolexs that never learn what a silence means in music or a bunch of kids who made a song with 30 different rhythms and call it progressive.

Don’t matter how I incline more every day to this type of music, I just can’t avoid to look back and…

Sab 26 Ene – Hector Martignon, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Vinny Valentino, Armando Gola

Yesterday, January 27, Hector Martignon and his band hit the stage of the Metropolitan Theatre in Medellin. Joining him was Vital Information’s guitarist Vinny Valentino, Cuban bass player Armando Gola and the one and only Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, because face it, everyone was there to see El Negro play his drums. Everything while Peach was drinking with her new haircut… I wish she was there with me.

The overall presentation was filled with latin-driven jazz fusion. Almost all the repertory was original compositions…

There was this band I read everywhere, like the new creative force in rock, a new sound with progressive touches, a band you have to hear! So, ignoring the ridicule names of their records, I went to hear some of Coheed and Cambria’s albums….. biiiiiiig disappointment! I can’t belive it! This is the band that everyone is talking about? So I saw videos, read about their concept, even about their silly comic… but I realize it, it was the same call-it-whatever-you-want crap that is so well marketed everyday. I felt like the time that a co-worker came to me…

Yesterday, September 7, I went to see Richard Bona Quintet in the metropolitan theater of Medellín (the main event of the Medellín jazz & world music festival). I usually don’t write concert reviews because I can’t write a coherent text in English, not even a phone message (and that’s why I didn’t even wrote the Roger Waters review). But, this concert was a special occasion (because my usual companion wasn’t with me) so…I write a review for her and you, yes I know who you are, I know where you live and if you mock about my English, I’m going…

Last night, listening to some of my Jaco Pastorious mp3 I started to remember some words of Joe Zawinul, he said something like this “He had that magical thing about him, the same kind of thing Jimi Hendrix had”. Then I came to a ridicule obvious conclusion, Hendrix and Jaco are definitely gods of their instruments, like Matt Pierson said “he stands true original, unlike anyone who came before him and influencing everyone who followed”, that works with Hendrix and Jaco. Jimi made all the guitarists of his era fear of their jobs, and all the guitarists of our…

Most of the good musicians out there take music a lot less seriously that all the people who have no idea about make music… especially his own.

Same with soccer and religion.
