Joe Sample – Rainbow Seeker

A sublime solo set from the great Joe Sample – a set recorded right at a time when his work with The Crusaders was breaking very big, and Joe was becoming one of the hottest fusion keyboardists of the 70s! This set gives Sample a nicely different focus than The Crusaders – more keyboards in the lead, with a great mix of acoustic piano and electric modes – over these really well-crafted arrangements that feature key Crusaders members, but also allow for great work from David D Walker on guitar, Fred Jackson on tenor, and some other great west coast studio talents too. The vibe is great – almost a Steely Dan jazz album, and we mean that in the best way possible – on titles that include “Rainbow Seeker”, “Fly With The Wings Of Love”, “In All My Wildest Dreams”, and the classic “There Are Many Stops Along The Way”.

Rewind: Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975)

If cocaine made a sound, it might be The Hissing of Summer Lawns.

Released in 1975 as Joni Mitchell was settling into her jazz phase after the previous year’s Court and Spark, Summer Lawns is druggy. But it’s never drugged-out.

There’s a wired tiredness to the music - vaguely psychedelic, mostly jazz with glimmers of folk and rock. All of this makes The Hissing of Summer Lawns essential and essentially impossible to hear too many times.

Set in snow-covered California, the album makes references both explicit - he tilts their tired faces gently to the spoon, in “Edith and the Kingpin” - and implicit - drooling for a taste of something smuggled in, on “The Jungle Line” - delivered in the percussion-and-vocal format Mitchell’d revisit on “Dreamland” from Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter.

This is Mitchell at her zenith, backed by a host of top-tier players and singers in keyboardist Joe Sample; drummer John Guerin; guitarists Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and Jeff Baxter; horn blowers Chuck Findley and Bud Shank; and background vocalists David Crosby, Graham Nash and James Taylor; among others.

The Hissing of Summer Lawns starts happily enough with the celebration of youth that is “In France They Kiss on Main Street” - looking for a party, looking to raise Jesus up from the dead, Mitchell sings. But soon enough, she’s singing of powerlessness and dreams deferred on the languid, sinewy and arresting “Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow.”

Truth goes up in vapors/the steeples lean/winds of change patriarchs/snug in your Bible Belt dreams/god goes up the chimney/like childhood Santa Claus/the good slaves love the good book/a rebel loves a cause, she sings, sounding exhausted over six verses and no chorus.

Everybody talks about Blue - and with good reason - but The Hissing of Summer Lawns is the Joni Mitchell LP Sound Bites would take to the proverbial desert island.

Another draft, this time with added horn and piano in the verse.

I’m frustrated with myself that this is coming along so slowly, and I hope that posting about my process publicly will hold me accountable to finishing it. My next tasks, in rough order:

1. Add piano to the chorus to fill out harmony

2. Add horns to the chorus for a countermelody that continues the call & response vibe

3. Build out the rest of the form (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solos, chorus, end tag)

4. Write the end tag based on Joe Sample & David T. Walker’s Hallelujah I Love Her So (i.e. just repeat the last one or two phrases with increasing intensity. They didn’t invent the concept but that’s where I got the idea)

5. Record the alto and tenor parts myself

And that should probably be good for a demo. I also need to remind myself that my goal for this is a proof of concept for the kind of music I wanna make, and not necessarily a professional tune that can get play on Spotify. I need to focus on the details that help me achieve that goal and not get lost in others.

Throwback: J.Dilla-Sunbeams

J.Dilla's "Sunbeams" is from The 1996 What Up Doe Sessions. The title comes from how many Detroiters greet each other by saying "What Up Doe?" The song was built with Joe Sample's "Black Is The Color" and Grady Tate's "Be Black Baby." "Sunbeams" was another instance of Dilla's genius understanding of rhythm. He took the samples from each song and turned them into an endless moody meditation helmed by a delicate snare drum. The sound of early morning or late at night depending on the listener is one of Dilla's most famous instrumentals. The bootlegged collection of beats was recorded in 1996, the same time Dilla's productions were being heard on De La Soul's Stakes Is High and A Tribe Called Quest's Beats, Rhymes and Life. The Detroit Pistons chose to honor J. Dilla in 2024 which would have been his 50th year of life with a new line of merchandise that will debut on March 13th.

Koryn Hawthorne Releases New Single "Cry"

On June 2, two-time GRAMMY® nominated, Billboard Music and NAACP Image Award winning, inspirational artist, Koryn Hawthorne, released her brand new single, “Cry,” lifted from her forthcoming third album. The triple-threat entertainer’s new single, “Cry” is available to stream and purchase wherever music is sold and streamed now.

Produced by J White Did It, “Cry” demonstrates Hawthorne’s ability to transcend across all genres, showcasing her signature vocals and encouraging lyrics over the popular music sample, “In All My Wildest Dreams” by the late jazz legend Joe Sample. Hawthorne gracefully reminds all, that it’s okay to show emotions and be vulnerable amid any life storm.

Having carved a lane of her own, Hawthorne provides a refreshing blend of gospel, pop, hip-hop and R&B. Hawthorne is best known for being a finalist in season 8 of NBC's reality TV singing competition The Voice, placing fourth place as a member on Pharrell Williams' team.

After finishing in 4th place on The Voice, Hawthorne got signed to RCA Inspiration. Since placing 4th she has been seen as a guest star on WE tv’s Mary Mary, Bounce’s Saints & Sinners and OWN’s “Greenleaf.” Koryn went on to shatter Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs Chart in 2018 claiming the title of longest reign by a female artist, with her infectious #1 smash hit “Won't He Do It” - garnering RIAA-Certified Gold® recognition. Hawthorne recently starred in the Peacock original film, PRAISE THIS, portraying mean-girl, “Fallon.”

Famous people who died of Mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer

By Ahmet Abdulaziz…. “Mesothelioma” is one of the various types of cancer. Though statistically, it may appear not in the forefront, however, most of Mesothelioma patients, die rather early, after being diagnosed. Exposure to asbestos has been considered the prime reason for it. In the USA only, around 3,000 fresh cases have been recorded. (more…)

Pretending to be People is a mystery/horror/comedy actual play podcast using the roleplaying systems of Delta Green and Pulp Cthulhu. Created by a group of best friends with prior experience roleplaying together in this system, it's able to dive right into the action and take off running. And boy howdy, everything sure does happen so much.

Features homebrew stories written by the GM and an original soundtrack created by one of the cast. With a completed season 1, an ongoing season 2, (both of which are separate campaigns) and several 3-4 episode mini-campaigns, there are a lot of options for choosing a spot to stick your feet into the water, so go check it out on their website or wherever you listen to podcasts!

#pretending to be people #ptbp #ttrpg podcast #actual play podcast #delta green #to be clear: I'm spreading this as a fan of the show! not an official affiliate or anything like that #they just released this promo video today and I wanted to share #as someone said in the discord: the only thing missing here is Joe giggling #his frequent laughter is delightful #but really they all laugh a lot and you will too. it's a very fun and cool podcast #beth may and becca scott have both been guests on the show!#and their episodes are technically within season 2 but part of separate mini-arcs #so you could even sample the show by just checking out their episodes if that's what strikes your fancy #also scott dorward has gm'ed a couple of his own published call of cthulhu scenarios for them and they're great
