C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, but we don’t serve minors.” So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

Track: Encryption (mp3) - Artist/Band: Brad Goode
Trumpeter Brad Goode soars through some wild-sounding Fusion, armed with a psychedelic trumpet, a polytonal mind and a band of virtuoso players. Joining Goode at his dance party are pianist Jeff Jenkins, guitarist Bill Kopper, Ken Walker on bass, and drummer Anthony Lee – a musically daring group of musicians who embraced Goode’s ideas of unconvential harmonic structures as they perform a wide range of originals and soul & jazz standards.

Product Description
The first album for 4AD from this Icelandic composer is an expanded version of a performance piece originally written for the dancer and choreographer Erna Omarsdottir, and which has been performed in more than 40 European cities. This new incarnation was scored for a 60-piece string orchestra and the four original movements were joined by a completely new finale. The final mix incorporates electronics and vintage reel-to-reel recordings of the IBM 1401 mainframe computer which inspired the piece in the first place.
Blu-ray is in a death spiral. 12 months from now Blu-ray will be a videophile niche, not a mass market product.
With only a 4% share of US movie disc sales and HD download capability arriving, the Blu-ray disc Association (BDA) is still smoking dope. Even $150 Blu-ray players won’t save it.

Trio da Paz Brings the Brazilian Heat : NPR Music: JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater, June 5, 2008
– Trio da Paz comes from a vital music tradition: Duduka da Fonseca came to the U.S. in the mid-’70s, and Romero Lubambo and Nilson Matta arrived a decade later. Together since 1993, the “samba jazz” band represents the cream of expatriate Brazilian musicians in the U.S., as well as a vital link to the bossa nova years
