Tyshawn Sorey Trio +1 with Greg Osby “The Off-Off Broadway Guide to Synergism”

Pi Recordings, 2022 Po wydanej niespełna dwa miesiące wcześniej płycie Mesmerism, która zaskakiwała mainstreamową stylistyką i programem, Tyshawn Sorey ponownie kieruje swoją uwagę ku jazzowe klasyce. Oba wydawnictwa łączy wiele. W kwestii wyboru kompozycji Sorey znowu postawił na standardy, wybierając przy tym dość sporo utworów z  musicali.  One wypełniają zdecydowaną większość programu i one…

Preview- Magic, Myth & Mutilation: The Micro-Budget Cinema of Michael J. Murphy 1967–2015 (Limited Edition Bluray)

Amongst overlooked filmmakers, British director Michael J. Murphy ranks as one of the most sorely neglected. Having cut his teeth on a variety of homemade 8mm shorts, he had completed three feature-length productions by the age of eighteen. Over the next five decades, Murphy would go on to make many more films across a variety of genres, dividing his production time between Greece, Portugal, and…

About Online Threats Abuse & Misogynoir Towards Black Women in the Entertainment Industry...

Susan Wokoma appeared on the Woman's Hour on BBC Radio recently and she bravely spoke out on the letter of support she and Somalia Seton put together to support Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, as well as speaking candidly on the effects the online abuse that Black women face have...

I IMPLORE people in these fandoms, especially where harassment of Black women happens to listen to this podcast to understand what it does. Listen below:

There is a very white tendency to either make the focus their own sympathetic reaction to a Black woman entertainer being bullied/harassed like this (crying or feeling bad for it happening to them) or minimize what's happening. "It's only one or two" or "They'll probably never see it." And I get the tendency to want to either distance or somehow equalize it to the harassment white women face, as well...but there is a particular nastiness that comes with misogynoir that gets at literally wanting to dehumanize and punish a Black woman for existing. The intention is to destroy them completely, rather than put in place. Anyway, I encourage anyone who cares about Black women in fandom to give the segment interviewing Susan Wokoma, a listen.

Emmet Cohen “Uptown in Orbit”

Mack Avenue Records, 2022 W okresie pandemii mieszkanie Emmeta Cohena stało się miejscem, w którym próbowano podtrzymać istnienie jazzu. Cotygodniowe koncerty transmitowane w mediach społecznościowych nie były wówczas niczym nadzwyczajnym, jednak regularne występy  pianisty i jego tria stały się zaczątkiem jeden z najciekawszych inicjatyw tego okresu. Realizowane początkowo za pomocą telefonu…
