Miles Davis interviewed by Bill Boggs circa 1986 (Complete broadcast)
"I have been told by people over the years that this was an historic interview. 'Do you ever remember Miles Davis being on a talk show?' Apparently not too many people do cause they keep telling me this is unique. How'd it happen? Well the entire long form story is part of my play 'Talk Show Confidential,' but the Cliff Notes version is: I ran into Miles when I was in a restaurant in Los Angeles. Actually, he came to my table and said hello. 'That Midday was like my Today show,' he told me in that raspy voice. It turned out he'd been watching me for years and said, 'I always wanted you to interview me.' So the way this whole thing happened was he asked me what I was doing and I told him I had a show in Philadelphia called 'Timeout' and he basically said let's arrange to do it. And about a month or so later, there he was. I was not pleased that the producers of the show chose to add other guests. It should have been just Miles and me for the entire hour. But they were afraid he wouldn't carry the ratings-small thinking, in my opinion, since his appearance on the show made headlines and was discussed before and after on local radio. Anyway, the charming Maurice Hines, an old friend joins in as do some young trumpet players-which sort of worked..See for yourself..Miles Davis circa 1986 in Philadelphia." - Bill Boggs

Magnetik North - Peitsche/Fuck the Napkin/Long Way Back/Kings of the Robot Rhythm
Magnetik North is ‘live drum electronics’. Drum performances are fed through processors, samplers and sequencers to produce layers of rhythmic patterns that interact with each other. Other instruments are melted into different textures so that only the harmonic content remains. This is a new project from Ian Tregoning, engineer and producer for artists as diverse as Yello and Fela Kuti.
Now collaborating with Jaki Liebzeit, the legendary drummer from CAN, to add his endless evolving rhythms. The finished results are a hypnotic blend of industrial, classical, Krautrock and Detroit electronica. Like listening to a ‘raga in an earthquake’.
Musicians :
JAKI LIEBEZEIT drums
IAN TREGONING electronics, percussion
LEE HARRIS (from TALK TALK) djembe, chinese percussion
KUMO shaker, ARP 2600
DANNY ARNO piano
ANDY BAXTER bass

Moog
Moog is a 2004 documentary film by Hans Fjellestad about electronic instrument pioneer Dr. Robert Moog. The film features scenes of Dr. Moog interacting with various musical artists who view Moog as an influential figure in the history of electronic music.
Moog is not a comprehensive history of electronic music nor does it serve as a chronological history of the development of the Moog synthesizer. There is no narration, rather the scenes feature candid conversation and interviews that serve more as a tribute to Moog than a documentary.
The film was shot on location in Hollywood, New York, Tokyo, and Asheville, North Carolina where Moog's company is based. Additional concert performances were filmed in London and San Francisco.
The film's 2004 release was designed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Moog Music, Robert Moog's company that was founded as R.A. Moog Co. in 1954.
Maestro (The History of House Music & NYC Club Culture)

First Listen: Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes
Both his own music and the music of the artists on Ellison's Brainfeeder label have turned what started as instrumental hip-hop into a sound of his own. It's a wonky bundle of skittering beats, bass-heavy bottoms and delicate, melodic tops. Over the years, FlyLo has added to and refined this voice, and Until the Quiet Comes (out Oct. 2) plays like it comes from a tunesmith intimately familiar with his toolbox.
Ellison wends his way through a wide, dizzying canyon of sounds and sensations, all while keeping his cool. The result is intricate enough to make listeners scramble to dissect every little flourish in the mix, but it's also so sonically brash and powerful that it's hard not to let the whole body of sound wash over you. Until the Quiet Comes operates as a continuous thread of music, with a coherent flow of transitioning moods.
It starts off busy: "All In" is an introduction spun from bells, snares, shakers, harps, guitars, basses, kicks and a lilting voice in the background. The temperature cools as a voice wafts into the mix and seduces the ear into another barrage of thumping drum patterns. It's a method Ellison has mastered: lulling listeners with intoxicating melodies, then smacking them upside the head with a sobering bass kick.
This is far from the only trick in FlyLo's bag. Take, for example, "Sultan's Request": Forceful from the outset, the bending synths romp through the track as though they could rip holes through a dance floor. That is, until the low end comes in: an absurd drop of snaking bass that dwarfs the monster sounds preceding it. Then, Ellison jumps out of this low-frequency swamp back into the upper register, by bringing in helium-huffing samples that bounce beneath a steady string of hand claps. He moves from low to high, dense to sparse, mellow to frantic, dark to light, and almost always hits a sweet spot somewhere in between.
Ellison also possesses a knack for bringing in talent, whether as head of the exquisitely curated Brainfeeder or as an artist in search of featured guests. Featured on Until the Quiet Comes are past collaborators Erykah Badu and Thom Yorke. In "See Through to You," layers of Badu's voice are woven into loose, overlapping patterns that function as fibers in FlyLo's sonic quilt. Elsewhere, Yorke's voice haunts "Electric Candyman" with a reverb-thick roll. The Brainfeeder bassist Thundercat is here, too, making an appearance in "DMT Song," a swirling bag of vocals and plucked strings. Niki Randa and Laura Darlington's contributions exemplify Ellison's penchant for using vocals with a ghostly quality to them.
At just more than three-quarters of an hour, Flying Lotus' new album beats with a heart unique to its creator. With each release, FlyLo adds to his palette of sounds without cluttering his arrangements. Until the Quiet Comes is Ellison's most sonically adventurous and least muddled journey yet, as well as a trip worth taking over and over again — the quiet can come later.

Van Morrison - Born to Sing: No Plan B (2012)
Review in Jazzwise Magazine by Stephen Graham:
"Van Morrison (v, p, el g, as), Paul Moran
(Hammond Org, kys p, t), Alistair White (tb), Christopher White (ts,
ct), Dave Keary (g), Paul Moore (b) and Jeff Lardner (d). Rec. date not
stated
Van Morrison has jazz in his blood,
only a fool would think otherwise, and Born to Sing is the latest
proof although none is needed. His second for Blue Note, the first
What’s Wrong With This Picture? was notable for the poignant ‘Little
Village’, a song his fans immediately took to their hearts. Chances are
the title track ‘Born to Sing’ will be joining the pantheon of his
best songs of the last 25 years, up there with the wondrous ‘Fast
Train’, ‘Only a Dream’, and ‘Celtic New Year’. On this, his first
studio album since Keep it Simple, this time recorded unusually in his
home town of Belfast, Morrison has come up with the goods once again
after the commercial and critical success of Keep It Simple and the
huge interest shown when he followed it by releasing a live album based
on his great 1960s masterpiece, Astral Weeks.
Why
he delivers here is mainly because of the anthemic title track, with
its showband feel and rousing lyrics, although other tunes such as the
bluesy ‘Pagan Heart’ are among a string of strong songs. ‘Close Enough
For Jazz’, which adds words to an older instrumental version of the
song, is a grower, with some deep-down low singing from Morrison, who
turned 67 at the end of August, and a melody that recalls some of his
playful work with Georgie Fame on albums such as How Long Has This Been
Going On? ‘Educating Archie’ is the joker in the pack, recalling in its
title, but not in its lyrics, an old radio show, later on TV,
featuring a self willed ventriloquist’s dummy eventually ruling the
roost. The album, which also tackles issues facing society including
the relentless pursuit of money whatever the cost on the song ‘If In
Money We Trust’, has a stripped down small band backing with fine
trombone, good horn unisons and a stand-out electric guitar intro
cutting the air like a razor on ‘Pagan Heart’."

Scott Walker's Bish Bosch due December 3
Bosch, Hieronymous (c. 1450–1516), Dutch painter
Bish bosh (sl.), job done, sorted
“I was thinking about making the title refer to a mythological, all-encompassing, giant woman artist.” Scott Walker
A Hieronymous Bosch painting can’t be apprehended in a single blink of an eye. The Garden of Earthly Delights is made up of panels in parallel, with scores of tiny actions and allegorical representations teeming in every square inch of canvas. The painting is big enough to encompass heaven and hell.
Perhaps we should listen to Scott’s music in the same way we’d approach a Bosch canvas. You probably won’t understand it after one viewing, but you can become obsessed with one corner detail another until you eventually come to some understanding of how the different parts fit together and complement each other.
“It’s moving on a bit each time we go. Hopefully it’s getting nearer and nearer the kind of thing that’s in our heads. Little things are improving, a bit more focused. The style is improving.”
Since the 1960s, Scott Walker has scaled the heights of pop superstardom, produced some of the most revered solo albums of the late sixties, coasted on his laurels during the seventies, then metamorphosed into something very different. The music he has been making at his own pace since the early eighties might be utterly estranged from the songs that made him a household name, but they stem from the privacy he requires to write this complex and hugely inventive music.
Bish Bosch is the latest in Scott’s discography to pursue the line of enquiry he began back in 1978, with his four devastatingly original songs on the Walker Brothers’ swansong, Nite Flights, and continuing through Climate of Hunter (1984), Tilt (1995), The Drift (2006). He has continued to mature and develop in a late style utterly at odds with the music that made him a superstar, a lifetime ago, but which is totally honest, uncompromising and transcendent.
Scott began writing his new material around 2009, and recorded it sporadically over the following three years, while he was also involved in composing a work for the ROH2 ballet Duet for One Voice, chorographed by Aletta Collins. Unsurprisingly for a long-term exile from his native America, Bish Bosch is a great melting pot of clamouring voices and languages, swift scene-changes (the album’s geographic reach covers Denmark, the Alps, Hawaii, the ancient landscapes of Scythia, Greece and Rome, and Romania), time-travelling jump-cuts, and metaphors from medical science and molecular biology that seize you by the throat...

Sound Of Creation: Adrian Sherwood's 13 Favourite Albums
'I know music means nothing to some people but for others it's like Bill Shankly and football and life and death. It's everything, it's all consuming. That's how growing up was for me. That was my upbringing'
Fired up in his pre-teens by the first great wave of reggae in the UK charts, Adrian Sherwood has been active in the music business since the age of 13 as a DJ, producer of Lee "Scratch" Perry among others, solo artist and label founder. In the mid-1970s, as co-founder of labels like Carib Gems and Pressure Sounds, he was instrumental in the distribution of some of Jamaica's most legendary massive recording and recording artists into Britain.
However, it's as the founder of On-U-Sound during the post-punk era that he is most famous, having applied his blistering dub treatments not just to artists on his own roster such as Bim Sherman, African Headcharge and Tackhead, but also to a range of sometimes unlikely artists that includes Mark Stewart, Sinead O' Connor, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy and Einstürzende Neubauten. He cut his first solo album, with the heartfelt title of Never Trust A Hippy, in 2003. Last month saw the release of his latest solo work, Survival & Resistance.
Sherwood met up with the Quietus to discuss 13 favourite albums, which range all the way from Ray Charles and BBC library music to Augustus Pablo and Burning Spear...
