For the past week or so I've almost exclusively been listening to 60's/70's era post-bop and hard-bop jazz. Many of the happen to be pianists, so I drew this for for fun.
Top: McCoy Tyner, Ahmad Jamal
Bottom: Andrew Hill, Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver
Above is a remix my friend Mykola did of this piece, which I enjoy thoroughly. Another Tedikola collaboration!
Today I got to visit the DC Record Fair. It was fantastic. Not only did I find a lot of records and CDs I've been searching a long time for, but I also got to talk to some interesting people, get Go-Go music inventor Chuck Brown's autograph and handshake, and got some decent photography out of it as well! I love things like this. More photos here.
I saw the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra perform a few days ago, a group I've been listening to for a few years. They play African funk, derived mostly from the work of Fela Kuti, the inventor of "Afrobeat". Ignoring the "No Camera" signs posted in the club, I took about 300 shots anyway. (Their website says photos are allowed, so...) It was a great show, despite my ears ringing for over an hour afterward. You can see some more photos of the show here.
