Aquileo | TMT 098: Matt Kanelos

Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:18:14 +0000

Jazz and classical share the spotlight when it comes to the music of Brooklyn singer/songwriter Matt Kanelos. With his latest project, Violence, the multi-instrumentalist plumbs both the commonality and tension between the two genres while adding his own spin of cabaret, improvisation and avant-garde tendencies. Violence is the namesake of a generous 55-minute EP and a short ﬁlm that feel wonderfully chaotic when absorbed as a whole. In addition to his own work, Matt plays piano for cabaret performer (and past TMT guest 045) Carol Lipnik at live performances and on her stunning album, Almost Back to Normal. This episode features two songs from Violence: "Nonviolent Man" and "God Is a Guy".

Aquileo | TMT 097: Computer Magic

Wed, 14 Sep 2016 04:07:21 +0000

Computer Magic is the electronic music project of Danielle "Danz" Johnson. She is the very deﬁnition of proliﬁcacy. One look at her CV and clearly Danz can not not make music. Under the guise of Computer Magic, she's released a handful of LPs in Japan and eight EPs worldwide. Last year's Davos was her ﬁrst full-length American album and her latest EP, Obscure But Visible, comes out everywhere in October. Launched in a bedroom just "for fun", Computer Magic has since bloomed into a legion of diehard fans from the States to Japan and also a song featured in a Lexus commercial. This episode includes "Dimensions", the ﬁrst single from Obscure But Visible.

It's not often you bear witness to the eve of a musical movement. Floordoor Records ﬁrst releases won't appear until late-September, but bloggers and social media are already hyped by the singles and videos that have been trickling out over the past few months. Not to mention a slew of incendiary live performances at the Bed-Stuy venue, C'mon Everybody. This September and October, Floordoor's inaugural two albums will arrive from A Bunch of Dead People and Public Speaking, the respective projects of founders Ruben Sindo Acosta and Jason Anthony Harris. Additional albums from label mates Supplier, My Love MHz and Eternal Garb will eventually round out the Brooklyn label's ﬁrst wave. Their mission statement? Perhaps: hullabaloo and tumult in concert with harmonies and grooves. The ﬂedgling collective plans to be a home for genre-daring music that attracts listeners who are as progressive as the artist roster. This podcast features a song a piece from A Bunch of Dead People and Public Speaking.

Sat, 23 Jul 2016 02:46:28 +0000

In her three decades plus career as an opera singer, Martina Arroyo has achieved one highlight after another. She's performed all over the world as a celebrated spinto soprano, including over 200 performances at the Met Opera with three opening nights to her credit. She's worked with top conductors like Leonard Bernstein and has performed the repertory of Mozart and Strauss, to name a few. Ms. Arroyo's hard work and immense talent has been recognized by her peers with a 2010 NEA Opera Honors Award and a Kennedy Center Honor three years ago. Although the Harlem native ofﬁcially retired in 1989, it hasn't stopped her from using her legacy to educate others. In 2003, she established the Martina Arroyo Foundation, which fosters excellence in young opera singers in an educational setting. Kudos to Ms. Arroyo for allowing her expertise and command to inspire a new generation. This podcast also features an interview with the Foundation's music director, Maestro Willie Anthony Waters.

It is a fortunate few who not only love what they do, but also help others in the process. For over twenty decades, New York educator Adam Goldberg has done just that with music. As a teacher at PS 177Q in Fresh Meadows, Queens, he expands the world of children with learning challenges by utilizing iPads and a slew of music creation apps like GarageBand and iKaossilator. At the New York public school, Adam founded the "Technology Band", a successful example of education and innovation uniting. Since their inception, the high school ensemble have performed music as complex as Chick Corea's "Space Circus" and have also been featured on FOX News and NPR. Here's to Adam Goldberg for heralding the power of music.

Aquileo | TMT 090: Soft Glas

Tue, 12 Jul 2016 04:30:00 +0000

Producer and photographer João Gonzalez has gone on record saying that the Soft Glas tag visually represents the way his music sounds. This feels apt considering the project is a glorious synthesis of not only haunting, electronic soundscapes but also well-considered aesthetics. From the curation of João's Instagram and promotional images to the release of last year's dos EP, there hasn't been one wrong step. Yet nothing ever feels clinical or over calculated, on the contrary only a warmth resonates through the entire Soft Glas canon. Whether João's working with collaborators for his own music or producing for others like the violin duo (and friends), CharGaux, the Brooklyn-based musician is in utter command of his talents. 2016 year will reveal an embarrassment of riches when the dos follow-up, Late Bloom, arrives along with the Soft Glas-produced CharGaux album. This episode features a selection from both Soft Glas albums.

From the start of her career, Nellie McKay made it abundantly clear that music wouldn't be the only device she'd utilize to be outspoken and provocative. Along with her genre-defying 2004 debut, Get Away From Me, her politics dared you to shy away from her intentions, whether it was for the environment, animal welfare or feminism. In the past dozen years, Nellie released ﬁve more eclectic studio albums including last year's My Weekly Reader, an album of 60's covers with themes of drugs and politics. Incidentally, the ensuing twelve years have not tempered her activism; Nellie is still ﬁghting for the causes she's passionate about including her tireless, on-the-ground campaigning for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Our conversation took place on the eve of the New York primary, where ultimately Sanders would lose to Hillary Clinton.

Singer/Songwriter Paul Weinﬁeld's spiritually-minded essays began as an intersection between music and meditation that happened to garner a sizable Facebook following. The synthesis makes sense considering music has been an integral part of his life including writing songs on his guitar at age nine and meditating helped him cope with both health issues and a 10-year writers' block. On the other side of these past challenges, the New York-native released six albums under his Tam Lin project and also teaches meditation.

Tue, 22 Mar 2016 19:43:54 +0000

When a musician claims Prince, Steely Dan and Bob Dylan as a few of their inﬂuences, it's quite possible to expect a derivative hodgepodge from said musician's output. In the case of singer/ songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ryan Thompson, those brilliant touchstones get ﬁltered through a distinctive point of view with Feign Pathos. The enthrallingly-named moniker is Ryan's vehicle to showcase his slinky, soulful voice as it carves out a stirring path regardless of the setting. Whether it's the electronica foundation of the single "Sophisticated Lady" or with his acoustic solo performances, Ryan's brew of R&B and alternative music is evocative yet personal. He's currently perfecting Feign Pathos' forthcoming debut EP.

Aquileo | TMT 075: Mike Sniper

Tue, 15 Mar 2016 20:57:16 +0000

Mike Sniper's independent record label, Captured Tracks, was founded with $10k from selling his power-pop record collection and two releases: Dum Dum Girls' 2009 debut and his own project, Blank Dogs (2008). Since then, he's turned the Brooklyn imprint into one of the premier go-to places for exciting new artists and reissues of previously hard-to-ﬁnd treasures. From homegrown acts like Mac DeMarco and DIIV to career retrospectives from Milk-n-Cookies, the mainly vinyl label continues to expand its inﬂuence and musical diversity with Mike's creation of the Omnian Music Group. This recent endeavor consists of nine sister labels that exist to produce more output without diluting Captured Tracks. Not just content with releasing music, Mike has also opened up two record stores in Brooklyn's Fort Greene and Greenpoint neighborhoods, both bearing the Captured Tracks name. This episode concludes with a five-song sampler.

Violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins is one of those fortunate people who knew at an early age what they wanted to do with their life. She discovered her calling when she started playing the violin at age nine. Since then Kelly has hit many career highlights as a soloist and chamber musician including performances with numerous orchestras like the Dallas Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of New York, over 800,000 YouTube views for her "Imagination" music video album and praise from the New York Times and the Strad magazine. Kelly's latest milestone is her Broadway debut in the revival of Fiddler on the Roof where she fulﬁlls the titular role from the orchestra pit. In addition to her vast musical talent, Kelly is also a humanitarian who founded and directs Music Kitchen, a program that brings chamber musician performances to New York City homeless shelters with participation from over 100 acclaimed artists. Kelly's future plans include more music videos featuring her virtuoso playing.

Tue, 08 Mar 2016 17:00:35 +0000

You don't get to be on Broadway for nearly eighteen years by pure luck. You could say singer and actress Rema Webb's journey to the Great White Way began at age twelve when she ﬁrst started singing lessons in our shared hometown of Clairton, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Along the way she participated in choirs and pageants, trained in piano and classical voice, studied her craft at the University of Pittsburgh and in Italy. Rema's consistent work ethic eventually led to a role in Ragtime, her Broadway debut. She's since added nine more musicals to her resumé including 16 1/2 years in the Lion King, the Book of Mormon and the current revival of the Color Purple. In February, Rema was featured on cast recording albums of the Color Purple and A New Brain. She is also the founder/executive director of On Broadway Performing Arts Training Program, a organization dedicated to the performing arts, mentoring and education of young aspiring artists. On April 25, Rema reprises Children Will Listen, her celebrated one woman show at New York's 42 West.

Electronica producer and artist Praveen Sharma's career is a study in ﬂuidity. He easily moves from duos (Praveen & Benoit and Sepalcure) to his solo project, Braille. Last year, Braille was well-represented with two releases: the Everyone's Crazy EP and the full-length Mute Swan. From mysterious house tracks to brooding mood pieces featuring extraneous vocals, the common threads are innovation and melancholy. Expect a new Sepalcure release from Praveen and musical partner Machinedrum (Travis Stewart) later in the year.

Is it too soon to call Marcus Paul James' new single "Living in Dreams" the best song you'll hear in 2016? Yes, it might be a tad presumptuous, but I stand behind my prediction that you will play this ballad 10 times in a row. The Brooklyn-native singer/songwriter comes naturally to good music with a successful career performing on Broadway in musicals like RENT and the Heights. More recently he appeared in NBC's the Wiz Live last December. Marcus is currently working on his forthcoming EP tentatively scheduled for a Spring release.

After hearing the eclectic roster of cassette (and some vinyl) label Already Dead Tapes, it's no doubt that you'll be kicking yourself for tossing out that banana-yellow Walkman. It's okay; every ADT release comes with a digital download. But admit it, tapes are way more fun than MP3s. Based in Brooklyn via Chicago, ADT was founded in 2009 by Joshua Tabbia (and Sean Hartman). Since its inception, the label has carved out a respected reputation for its genre-defying list of artists from all over the world in small batches. Joshua says the curation process is a natural reﬂection of his own varied musical tastes. A graphic designer by day, the Kalamazoo-native also handles the creative design for the independent label. With dozens of releases every year from hip-hop to noise to alt-rock, ADT offers plenty to discover for music aﬁcionados. Get a taste of the label with an exclusive 5-song sampler after our conversation.

Meshell Ndegeocello's CV may include collaborations with the eclectic company of Herbie Hancock, Basement Jaxx, Robert Glasper and Madonna, yet with every project she remains resolutely herself. Whether it's through guest spots or her own releases, Meshell's sound has always been her hallmark. In 1993, Madonna's ﬂedgling Maverick Records released Plantation Lullabies, Meshell's debut which perfectly highlighted that sound: dual pleasures of baritone singing and spoken word with her distinctive bass-playing washing over and through you. For more than 20 years and 11 albums, this restless artist has touched upon genre after genre without sacriﬁcing her identity or style. Utilizing her laptop as a new instrument, this year Meshell plans to release a new album that aims to fuse both politics and dancing.

There's a good chance music writer Jesse Jarnow knows more about the Grateful Dead than you ever will. Understandably, he did get a head start when he was in middle school. Since then he's been on a slippery slope that would eventually lead to writing extensively about the iconic jam band. He's penned liner notes for Dave's Picks, the archive series of classic Dead shows; compiled the entire setlist repertoire for the band's 80 disc concert box set, 30 Trips Around the Sun and has a forthcoming book that explores the Dead community entitled Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, coming out in March. He's also the DJ of the Frow Show on freeform radio station WFMU...where, of course, he manages to squeeze in some Dead music.

As the premier opera music authority, Fred Plotkin possesses the history of Italy at his ﬁngertips. Not by birthright, mind you, but still rooted in his DNA. A racially-diverse Brooklyn rearing included ample time spent in the homes of Italian friends which spawned a love for their rich culture. Fred also grew up on a constant diet of classical music in his own home. His love for all things Italian was set after Fred graduated high school and his mother rented a Tuscany apartment for them to spend a summer vacation. Eventually his twin passions of opera and Italian culture would lead to a storied career as journalist, lecturer and the author of nine books including Opera 101: A Complete Guide to Learning and Loving Opera and Italy for the Gourmet Traveler. Fred's expertise recently earned him the Cavaliere della Stella d'Italia, the Italian equivalent of knighthood, conferred by the president of Italy.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/063: Bowie Tribute
At the release of this week's TMT podcast, it will be less than 24 hours of hearing of David Bowie's passing. I've been a lifelong fan since I ﬁrst bought his live album, Stage, on double- vinyl at my local library for 50 cents. It's a cliche to say it changed my life, but I had never heard music that was so strange, so beautiful and gave me something new to discover every time I listened to those four sides. This week's Spotify playlist is my tribute to the brilliance of David Bowie with some of my favorite music he left for the world.

Kiran is in constant motion from studying at Georgetown University to obtaining a Harvard MBA while simultaneously touring with M.I.A. to crafting a stint as Interscope Records' ﬁrst digital analyst. She's also spoken at TEDxBrooklyn on her "Atomic Living" concept of ﬁnding multiple pillars that you're passionate about and then choosing the various moments and opportunities that arise to support them. Most recently, one of Kiran's pillars, gender equality, went viral in August of 2015. She ran the London marathon sans sanitary protection to give voice to "sisters who don't have tampons" and to end "period shaming". Post-race pictures display Kiran proudly posing with clear evidence of her menstrual cycle in effect. Yeah, just another day in the life of a badass. In 2016, Kiran will bring that same rebellious spirit to her debut album.

It's a ﬁtting name for a group whose songs represent a joyous, whirlwind synthesis of jazz, soul and African music. As a Fulbright Laureate, Yacine attended the New School for Jazz, where the French-Tunisian musician ﬁrst met and collaborated with vocalist/composer Sarah Elizabeth Charles. Ajoyo's self-titled debut features the two-time TMT guest (episodes #21 & #36) on six of the eight titles.

Singer-Songwriter Steve Garvin ﬁrst picked up the guitar at age 19 when he was a freshman at Villanova University. After graduation, he landed in Chinatown where his New York-sized bedroom doubles as a DIY recording studio. The result? His recently released EP, Don't Run Away, proves that maybe size really doesn't matter. The sound? A gorgeous rush of '60s- dappled harmonies and classic songwriting dipped in an array of '80s synth inﬂuences. The Midwestern transplant is intent on growing as an artist and perfecting his craft. So far? So good.

Aquileo | TMT 056: Jesse Fischer

Thu, 03 Dec 2015 17:47:53 +0000

2015 has been an eventful year for pianist/composer/producer Jesse Fischer. He released two records that managed to reveal multiple aspects of his talent. First there was Vein Melter, a collaboration with horn player Sly5thAve, that was a powerful reimagining of Herbie Hancock's 70's fusion masterpiece, Headhunters. Then in September, Jesse returned as a bandleader with the diverse, poignant Day Dreamer that found him adding lyrics to his music for the time. Day Dreamer stars vocalist/composer and two-time TMT guest (episodes #21 & #36), Sarah Elizabeth Charles, on four titles. In addition to introducing me to Jesse, Sarah was also my connection to the group Ajoyo, who are led by multi-woodwind player Yacine Boularès with Sarah as the featured vocalist. Listen to companion episode #57 of TMT to hear my conversation with Yacine.

*****In my intro and outro, I mistakenly refer to Jesse's Vein Melter collaborator Sly5thAve as "Sly5thAvenue". My apologies to him.

Aquileo | TMT 055: J. Hoard

Mon, 30 Nov 2015 06:36:25 +0000

It's hardly a coincidence that the enthusiasm careening from J. Hoard's earworm of a single "Not So Fast" is an accurate portrait of the artist as a young man. Mildly pretentious James Joyce references aside, one can experience the celebration Jonathan demonstrates in his performances and on his aptly-titled debut EP, Feel Good. The Columbus, OH native currently resides in Brooklyn and is perfecting the upcoming full-length Feel Good album. Jonathan is also busy performing on stages from city to city including Gentei Kaijo's the Lesson, a Thursday nite jam at Arlene's Grocery, where you can catch Jonathan freestyle singing (and dancing) to weekly packed crowds. Just try to deny the unadulterated joy and immense talent of J. Hoard.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/055: Oh Brandy!
This week's Spotify playlist is my unabashed tribute to Brandy. J. Hoard and I raved on her brilliance in our conversation and I'm actually surprised I haven't compiled a playlist sooner. Therefore, I'm making up for lost time with over three dozen of my favorite songs. From the self- titled debut to Ms. Norwood's 2012 comeback with a few rarities tossed in here and there. If you're only familiar with the big hits, here's your chance to study Brandy's original lead vocals and innovative backing arrangements. Class starts...now!

Aquileo | TMT 054: The Bright Smoke

Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:00:00 +0000

Is "Haunt" a musical genre? If not, may I humbly nominate Brooklyn duo the Bright Smoke as its progenitors? Consisting of Mia Wilson (vocals/guitar) and Quincy Ledbetter (multi- instrumentalist/ﬁlmmaker), their second full-length release, Terrible Towns, is the 2015 album most likely to break your heart before putting it back together. With Mia's soft-focus vocals and the evocative landscapes Quincy builds beneath her, the sustained mood is the highest example of why albums still matter. And if only to sweeten an already delicious aural dish, Quincy directed a video trilogy of Terrible Towns songs that premiered on Diffuser.fm. Yes, "Haunt" deﬁnitely feels correct.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/054: Blue Nights, Gray Mornings
This is week's Spotify playlist is deﬁnitely in my wheelhouse. It was hardly a struggle to corral a collection of songs that are so lonely, so forlorned, so slow, you'll either be moved to tears or concerned for my emotional well-being. But don't worry about me; in the words of past TMT guest and music biographer James Gavin: "Sad songs make you feel less alone." I wholeheartedly agree. Who's to argue with Dusty Springﬁeld, Sade, Beach House, Kate Bush or Luther Vandross? Plus a song from the Bright Smoke, who inspired the playlist. Besides two signs of life from Mary J. Blige and Pink Floyd, it's two hours and a half of melancholy. Don't call the doctor; I don't need a cure. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 053: Ellis Martin

Sun, 22 Nov 2015 18:44:47 +0000

Singer-songwriter and up-and-coming pop star Ellis Martin has easily fulﬁlled the willful maxim, "Give the People What They Don't Know They Want" with an innovative amalgamation of electronica, '60s Motown and doo-wop that he calls "Molly Pop". Although the label might ring as provocative, it doesn't detract from music that is simultaneously contemporary and timeless. For proof, just listen to his debut EP, Pornotopia, co-produced by fellow Stanford U. alum, Jidenna, whose "Classic Man" hit was released on Janelle Monae's Wondaland label. Originally from South Side Chicago, Ellis is now based in New York and working on volume two of Pornotopia which will see a 2016 release. In the meantime, he's preparing to spread his titular concept, an insanely melodic stance against society's inauthentic view of sex and love, with a slate of live performances. Welcome to Planet Pornotopia!

Visit Ellis Martin online: http://ellismartin.com/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheMadMrMartin SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/ellis-martin-music

Talk Music Talk Playlist/053: Motor City Rare This week's Spotify playlist is in tribute to Ellis Martin's love of classic Motown music. Instead of the usual "Big Chill" choices heard on every commercial and elevator, I decided to go a little deeper. Yes, it's the same musical heroes you admire but with songs that weren't played on the radio or rode high on the charts. The Supremes. Smokey. Plus, lesser known greats like the Originals and many more. I made it just for you. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/3cG99h6YbRaAnjUQnUEmgQ

Mon, 09 Nov 2015 05:30:00 +0000

In just over ﬁve short years, Mindy Abovitz has expanded the narrow deﬁnition who gets to drum with Tom Tom magazine, the only magazine dedicated to female drummers. As its founder and editor-in-chief, Mindy has fused her passions of feminism and drumming to create a platform designed to dispel the ignorance, misogyny and ﬂat-out neglect often lodged at female percussionists in a male-dominated ﬁeld. What started out as a personal blog quickly grew into a printed quarterly that features an intentional broad palette of diversity from race to class to sexual identity that celebrates women and girl drummers and beatmakers from all over the world. The revolution begins with a pair of sticks and a dream!

Talk Music Talk Playlist/052: She's the Drummer
After interviewing this week's guest, Mindy Abovitz, it inspired me to dig deeper into the history of female drummers. With this invigorated knowledge under my belt, I bring to you a TMT Spotify playlist featuring an amazing assortment of percussionists and beatmakers that are doin' it for themselves, as Aretha and Annie Lennox once proclaimed. Revel in the pop magic of Gina Schock from the Go-Go's and the Bangles' Debbi Peterson. Meet up in the Ladies' room with Klymaxx's Bernadette Cooper or celebrate your inner Riot Grrrl with Bikini Kill and Bratmobile. And of course, there's drum pioneers Sheila E. and Terri Lyne Carrington. It's the best variety of drumming you'll hear in nearly 70 female-fueled minutes.

Aquileo | TMT 045: Carol Lipnik with Matt Kanelos

Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:38:33 +0000

With a four-octave voice and a madhouse sense of wonder, perhaps an inﬂuence of her Coney Island rearing, Carol Lipnik is not your usual cup of tea. She is without peers. Her buoyant performances are only equalled by the twisted beauty of her recorded output including this year's highly praised sixth album Almost Back to Normal. Released through her own Mermaid Alley imprint, it was generously funded by a grant from the Peter S. Reed Foundation. Produced by Jacob Lawson, who also played violin, Normal prominently features accompaniment by pianist Matt Kanelos who serves as the anchor to Carol's ﬂights of fancy. Carol and Matt's musical collaboration can be experienced during their weekly Sunday residency at Pangea, an East Village cabaret and Italian-Mediterranean restaurant. New Yorkers? Run don't walk! Out-of-towners? Book your ﬂight! Welcome to the wonderfully eccentric world of Carol Lipnik.

Sun, 08 Nov 2015 21:37:04 +0000

As the Brooklyn Rail's Music Editor, critic at the New York Classical Review and with his own Big City blog, George Grella covers the musical waterfront with an informed and creative point of view. Often forceful and always entertaining, George doesn't shelter his opinions in hyperbole including in his just-released book on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. It's the Brooklyn writer's exploration of the 1970 classic that isn't quite jazz and isn't quite rock; but its own island of a genius working at the peak of his powers. The book-length essay is the 110th volume in the 33 1/3 book series and also their ﬁrst jazz title. George's writing provides an aerial view of not only the innovative creation of the album but also its history and inﬂuence. George Grella's book is the deﬁnitive map of a masterpiece.

Aquileo | TMT 051: Rick Goetz

Sat, 07 Nov 2015 01:47:08 +0000

Music business consultant Rick Goetz is standing tall at the crossroads of a rapidly changing industry where the gatekeepers are fewer and the musicians posses more beneﬁcial options than ever. Your favorite band at the local dive bar can now foster their audience through social media, YouTube or SoundCloud. Between sluggish album sales and low-paying streaming, companies like Rick's appropriately named Music Consultant are giving the indie artist the chance for a fulﬁlling career sans a major label, but still providing many of the same advantages like creating marketing plans or A&R services. In an uncertain landscape, even major artists like Elton John and Sting have utilized Music Consultant to increase their odds for a blockbuster album. With 20 years of experience under his belt including stints as a major label A&R representative, a music supervisor, an artist manager and as a bassist in his own 90's band Dine-O-Matic, Rick has truly seen the music industry from both sides now.

This week's Spotify playlist was inspired by Rick Goetz's '90s alt-band Dine-O-Matic which means I've gone way overboard with nearly two hours of my favorite sounds from the decade when people paid good money for tangible music. I'm talking about you, compact discs. I'm bringing a TMT mix of album cuts, smash hits and rarities. Acoustic Depeche Mode. Soundtrack Sinéad. Early Hole. Rare Pearl Jam. Plus, 21 more carefully curated songs for your highest pleasure. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/12zAOgEkA5ThdgDoq6XQR0

Aquileo | TMT 050: Jeff Carvalho

Sun, 25 Oct 2015 10:54:34 +0000

I'm extremely honored to interview Highsnobiety's Jeff Carvalho for Talk Music Talk's 50th episode!!! As a partner and executive editor of the daily news site and coffee table worthy magazine (and their menswear site Selectism), Jeff is an astute overseer of what's vital in fashion, art, design and of course, music. Highsnobiety regularly features aural tastemakers like Pharrell and Oh Land with sumptuous layouts and insightful articles. Jeff says he's obsessed with music which is evident by Highsnobiety's consistent coverage and also through his lively Twitter feed. It's wonderfully common for Jeff to recommend the latest video or song that currently excites him. One more thing...he's also quite hyped about the return of cassettes. Sounds good to me.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/050: Ready! Cassette! Go! 1985!
For the big 50, I had to do something extra special for this week's Spotify playlist. Of course, I was inspired by my guest Jeff Carvalho. In our interview, Jeff talked about reconnecting to cassettes and their unexpected comeback. In the 80s, cassettes were in their heyday and what better way to herald their revival than looking back to 1985. Arguably, this year has to be one of the most eclectic periods in recorded music and most of it could be heard on Top 40 radio! So I bring to you some of my favorite singles and album cuts from a year that included music from Sting's solo debut to one of Madonna's best dance songs ever(!) to Aretha's comeback and early LL Cool J and the Smiths, Prefab Sprout and my favorite DeBarge song and...okay, nearly 2 and 1/2 hours of lovingly sequenced sounds that could easily take their place on the best mixtape ever. Well, maybe on two C74's; but you get my point. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/6RijYJJLJLm6KbJApHSxK9

Mon, 05 Oct 2015 17:21:41 +0000

A renowned former music critic, Kandia Crazy Horse's journey from scribing about music to performing her own happened unexpectedly. A Country-Western blend is her milieu which naturally reﬂects her rural Southern roots of Hee Haw and 1960s-70s free-form radio. Her exquisite 2014 debut, Stampede, was awarded "4-stars" from the British MOJO magazine. This year will hopefully see the release of Canyons, the second installment of a planned tetralogy. Fingers are crossed!

This week's TMT Spotify playlist begins with the Country-Western sounds of Kandia Crazy Horse as the inspiration. From there it zig-zags through the Americana of the Handsome Family and Wilco, singer-songwriter heroes Townes Van Zandt and Gram Parsons, a country detour from Elton John, pure country from the Carter Family and classics from Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. All that and more in a varied 90 minutes of Country's best. Enjoy!

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:04:08 +0000

Rony's Insomnia is the creation of Rony Corcos and is a brilliant summation of her numerous talents: singer, songwriter, lead guitarist, producer and engineer. Count to Ten, the ﬁrst title under her group name, is a dark and brooding song collection featuring mostly personal accounts with the exception of "Rose," which was inspired by the life and murder of four-year old Rose Pizem. The Jerusalem-born artist currently resides in New York where she regularly performs her unique brand of rock featuring threads of her jazz training and assorted inﬂuences. Count to Ten is one of the best albums I've heard this year; it should be yours, too!

You could say that this playlist is music for a rainy day; but, that would be too simple. This is music for a thunderstorm featuring featuring the Kings and Queens of Pain: Sade, Nick Cave, Morrissey and new music from Lana Del Rey.

Tue, 15 Sep 2015 00:16:54 +0000

The upward trajectory of R&B singer/composer/producer Daniel Bazán, Jr. is undeniable. An alumnus of NYU's acclaimed Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Check! Proﬁle in JAY Z’s Life + Times magazine. Check! Performances at SOB's and Pianos in New York City. Check! These exciting milestones are merely the evidence of hard work and talent from this Queens native. Raised in the Dominican Republic, Daniel started playing the piano at the age of eleven which led to him deﬁning his craft in churches, schools and cultural centers before a return to his birthplace. Eventual forays into jazz and hip-hop were integral stepping stones to the artist he is today. After a recent rebranding, Daniel is crafting a new chapter that ﬁnds his music style more soulful with an underpinning of jazz chops. His recently released demo "Wrong For You" is a glorious example. In addition to music, Daniel's also a distinctive photographer with a beautifully-curated and well-respected Instagram account. Daniel Bazán, Jr. is deﬁnitely One to Watch!

Visit Daniel Bazán, Jr. online: http://danielbazanjr.com/ https://instagram.com/danielbazanjr/

Talk Music Talk Playlist:
In an off-air conversation with Daniel, he discussed his admiration of jazz pianist/composer Robert Glasper. As with previous TMT guest, Indian Soul progenitor Shilpa Ananth (Episode #38: http://trafﬁc.libsyn.com/talkmusictalk/durastar_150804b_shilpa_ananth.mp3), they both appreciate Glasper's seamless melding of jazz and soul music. This Spotify playlist was initially created for Shilpa's episode, but is being appropriately repurposed. It's a compilation of my favorite Glasper tracks from his two Black Rock projects featuring vocals from Erykah Badu, Norah Jones and more.

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 04:30:00 +0000

In addition to being a singer-songwriter, Bryan Wade has created a practice to help musicians deal with anxiety called the Connected Musician or as Bryan explains: the intersection between music and mindfulness. Some musicians are at a loss for words between songs or judge themselves harshly at band rehearsals. Whatever the case, the CM is designed to allow musicians to fully enjoy their passion for music minus the tension and self-criticism. Even if you're not a musician you'll ﬁnd plenty of transferable tips that will inspire more inner peace, along with discovering Bryan's personal journey of music, mindfulness and meditation.

For more information on Bryan Wade and The Connected Musician, visit him online: http://theconnectedmusician.com/ http://bryanwade.com

Talk Music Talk Playlist/043: Twisted Mister This week's Spotify playlist, inspired by Bryan Wade's song "Voodoo Doll", which is featured on the podcast, is a tribute to wonderfully, off-kilter music by the male artist (with a female companion playlist coming soon!). Of course, my hero Frank Zappa makes the cut plus his comrade-in-oddness Captain Beefheart. Also: Daryl Hall like you rarely hear; Tom Waits with his defenses down; past TMT guest Nate Wood; a Frank Ocean epic and new music from Michael Stasis. Over 70 minutes of left of center pop.

Israeli born jazz guitarist and composer Idan Morim currently resides in New York where he recently graduated from the New School for Jazz. Prior to his move he'd been a professional musician since he was seventeen in his home country, served in their military (and band) and also toured China as a part of a theater company. Since graduation, Idan's been busy overseeing group performances as a bandleader before heading into the recording studio. Look for his debut album late 2015/early 2016.

Aquileo | TMT 041: Josh Dion

Tue, 25 Aug 2015 06:08:18 +0000

Witnessing Josh Dion drumming is as equally exciting as listening to his soulful voice. Whether he's performing with other acts (including previous TMT guest Nate Wood, episode #37) or in his own band Paris Monster, Josh's unique style is a visceral experience. Along with bassist Geoff Kraly, Paris Monster is the ultimate example of musical multitasking where Josh simultaneously drums, plays keys and sings. Their debut EP, It Once Had Been Kind, sacriﬁces none of the thrills of their live performances with ﬁve stunning examples from your new favorite duo.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/041: Some Random
This week's Spotify playlist might be inspired by Josh Dion and Paris Monster or it simply might be a collection of songs, new and old, that sound good keeping company with Paris Monster. A little Beck, some Hot Chip and a few other treats. Well, I'll let you decide for yourself. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/5NpaApRiqPQlF4NwbrVcOj

Aquileo | TMT 039: Zachery Allan Starkey

Tue, 11 Aug 2015 04:30:00 +0000

Brooklyn-based Songwriter/Musician/Artist Zachery Allan Starkey may ﬁnd his inspiration in iconic synth touchstones like New Order & Depeche Mode but the glorious results are all his own. From working class Ohio to art-infused Bushwick, Zachery's path wasn't without challenges but it was all a set-up for his three solo albums. The most recent, 2013's DIY, was entirely performed and produced by Zachery and features the frosty new wave track "Into the Sun," inspired by the passing of his grandfather, who ignited his interest in the arts. His latest project is ZGRT, a collaboration with Rob Interface and Jo-Anne Hyun. Released April 2015, their debut single "Hard Power" was co-produced by Zachery and Gavin Russom (DFA Records, LCD Soundsystem) and is the ﬁrst taste of more to come.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/039: Depeche Mode-The 80s

Zachery's music recalls the sound and spirit of new wave; so naturally I looked to one of his inspirations for this week's Spotify playlist. Depeche Mode. In particular, the period before they broke through the mainstream with 1990's Violator. This playlist is Strictly for the 80s! Nearly two hours of my favorite DM tracks all mixed up for maximum re/discovery. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/67J1HXVl4k4QfgWCDp6gHD

Aquileo | TMT 038: Shilpa Ananth

Wed, 05 Aug 2015 07:41:46 +0000

Shilpa Ananth, creator/bandleader of SA, tags her music Indian Soul. An amalgamation of East and West inﬂuences; an original stew consisting of Indian root melodies and lyrics with Jazz, R&B and Soul. Indian Soul is also the title of her debut and is a manifestation of a musical dream that began in India for Shilpa before moving to the States to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and then New York City in 2014. With the release of Indian Soul under her belt, Shilpa, along with SA, is currently sharing her beautifully expansive music on tour.

Visit Shilpa and SA online: http://www.soundsofsa.com/#music-2

Talk Music Talk Playlist/038: Robert Glasper's Black Radio Sampler
This week's playlist was inspired by two inﬂuences Shilpa Ananth cited in our interview: pianist Robert Glasper who fused Jazz, R&B & hip-hop on his pair of Black Radio albums and vocalist Lalah Hathaway who is featured on both volumes. From back to front, there's an abundance of gorgeous covers and originals sung by a multitude of artists, but this playlist is all about my favorites including Erykah Badu, Brandy and more.

Aquileo | TMT 037: Nate Wood

Mon, 27 Jul 2015 07:00:22 +0000

Multi-instrumentalist and mastering engineer Nate Wood first came to my attention through his singing and guitar playing via a live performance. In addition to his three solo albums, Nate is also the drummer in the Grammy-nominated jazz fusion group Kneebody. As Nate states, the primary difference between his solo and group are the lack of his vocals. For the complete Nate Wood, one should turn to his excellent third album, Another Time (2014), performed and recorded entirely by himself.

Nate's Another Time is undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2015 despite its 2014 release date. Hey, it's new if you haven't heard it...and you deﬁnitely should. Available on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/FTq61

Visit Nate online: http://natewoodmusic.net/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/037: The Steely Dan Mix
This week's playlist was inspired by Nate Wood claiming Steely Dan as one of his childhood inﬂuences. In this TMT mixtape, their seamless blend of jazz, rock and novelistic lyrics is covered from 1972's Can't Buy A Thrill to their Grammy Album of the Year comeback, Two Against Nature. It's over two hours of my favorite SD tracks. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 035: Dandy Wellington

Wed, 01 Jul 2015 23:53:34 +0000

Harlem born and bred singer/songwriter/performer Dandy Wellington is both a delight to the eyes and ears. His seamless integration of music and style ﬁles him into that rareﬁed club of the Björks, Bowies and Madonnas. What makes him even more unique is that his taste harks back to the golden era of big band jazz artists such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Columbia-era Billie Holiday but with a modern Dandy-twist. His new album Harlem Rhythm is a prime example of his inspired originals and a redux of a classic 60s chestnut. Dandy's live shows are not to be missed where his thrilling performances are a highlight of the New York scene featuring His Band in accompaniment. On a stage or through your speakers, Dandy Wellington is a consummate experience.

Aquileo | TMT 033: Ricky Powell

Tue, 16 Jun 2015 00:31:18 +0000

The Rickster.

The Funky Uncle.

The Lazy Hustler.

Whatever name he cheekily goes by, the legendary street photographer Ricky Powell is the master of wielding his camera to capture "right now" and creating a timeless picture. Basquiat and Warhol right before they enter their joint '85 exhibition. Run-DMC, in a mid-jump silhouette, photo-bombed by the Eiffel Tower. A born and bred New Yorker, Ricky synthesized what the classic era of hip-hop felt like whether you lived in the culture or not. The same honesty found in his celebrity photos is also found in his classic street photography. An female jogger getting limber for her jog. A man walking a gang of dogs across a NYC street. Unguarded brilliance!

Throughout his career, Ricky has allowed his camera to be the conduit to a highly popular New York public access TV show Rappin' with the Rickster. Four celebrated books of photography. Numerous exhibitions and slideshows. Collaborations and campaigns with the likes of Pepsi, X- Large, Dickies, WESC and more.

All of the success and accolades couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Hitting his 30th year as professional photographer, Ricky continues to be curious and inspired by the impressive instants of the streets and sharing them with the world. As he resolutely explains, "I'm all about beautiful souls."

Aquileo | TMT 032: Janita

Tue, 09 Jun 2015 23:11:40 +0000

Finnish-American singer/songwriter Janita (pronounced "YAH-nee-tuh") moved to Brooklyn at the tender age of 17, but not before setting her homeland aﬁre as a highly popular singer and actor. Since then she's released several albums, including a stint on Sony, that have seen her style evolve from the very poppy to the evolved Didn't You, My Dear? Janita's just-released third American album is a lyrically honest and musically haunting statement from a talent crafting music on her own terms. In addition to performing music, she's also an activist for musicians receiving adequate payment for radio airplay; since early 2014 she's represented the grassroots #IRespectMusic campaign.

Visit Janita Online: www.janita.com

Talk Music Talk Playlist/032: The Portable Meshell

This week's Spotﬁy playlist was inspired by a major inﬂuence of Janita: Meshell Ndegeocello. A conversation with the ﬁercely eclectic artist cemented Janita's decision to follow her own musical path. The Portable Meshell is evidence of an artist fully comfortable in basically in genre. 25 songs covering her entire career, this is a playlist for the adventurous music lover. Dig deep.

The evidence is in his transcendent live performances and his EP akie.

Tue, 19 May 2015 04:30:00 +0000

Jazz/Folk singer-songwriter Ashley Daneman is only a few months out from her full-page feature in the prestigious Downbeat Magazine. The March 2015 issue celebrated the release of her debut album Beauty Indestructible. An achievement for any artist but especially for an indie artist without the luxury of a major-label backing. Currently based in NYC, the wife and mother of two kids saw the fulﬁllment of her album release at 37. Daneman's age should be an unremarkable fact but it's really just a beautiful signpost of the adversities she's overcome on the path to Beauty Indestructible with the bonus that dreams don't have a deadline. Visit Ashley online: http://ashleydaneman.com/

Tue, 12 May 2015 09:00:47 +0000

There's an element to the music of David Rothschild that appears casual and comfortable to a listener's ear. But to quote an old ad, don't let the smooth taste fool you. There's a hard-earned craft to his songwriting that belies his EP, Simple Changes. This debut sounds like the lived-in effort of a seasoned veteran. Released February 2015, on the heels of a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, David is just getting started with a sound that reminds you of The Band or early 70s Elton John, but of course is distinctively his own.

Visit him online: http://www.davidrothschildmusic.com/#!home/mainPage

Talk Music Talk Playlist/028: Weathered Sounds:
Compiling this week's list was too easy! Inspired by the rich, classic sound of David Rothschild featuring the music of his inspirations---George Jones, The Band, etc.---were just the jumping off point for a little bit of country and a little bit of rock. Some Grateful Dead, Emmylou Harris, Springsteen and a whole lot more. Plus I snuck in a track from Mr. Rothschild. Over an hour of music full of guitar strings, heart and soul.

A musician, composer and engineer based in Brooklyn, Christopher is the co-founder (with drummer Joseph Branciforte) of the cellar and point, a 7-piece "garage-chamber" group, whose 2014 debut ambit was high-praised by everyone from The Brooklyn Rail to All About Jazz to BBC Radio.

This week's TMT Spotify Playlist was in part inspired by Christopher Botta. Mainly the electro side with roots firmly planted in the 80s. But you know I have to put a TMT twist on it and pair the synth decade with a little obscurity and the unexpected. Names you know with songs you might have missed, b-sides and Strawberry Switchblade. It's an hour of 80s fun featuring scores of my faves like Duran Duran, Five Star, The Human Leage and much more.

To label Mel D. Cole a music photographer seems too thin a description. Yes, he was dubbed as one of Complex magazine's 50 Greatest Music Photographers. Yes, he's the "house photographer" of The Roots crew and Questlove hailed him as his favorite contemporary photographer. And of course, his exquisite black and white photos perfectly capture the performances of artists like Lauryn Hill, Nas and Common. However, Mel is equally adept at travel, nightlife and street photography. His talent is as immense as his creative choices regardless of the setting or subject. To see for yourself, visit him at his website http:// www.meldcole.com/ or blog http://villageslum.com/.

Aquileo | TMT 024: Aaron Pfeiffer

Sun, 05 Apr 2015 03:48:43 +0000

Soulful singer-songwriter Aaron Pfeiffer is on the precipice of something big. The fellow Pittsburgh native currently lives in New York City. Since his relocation four years ago, he's been on a proactive path to his dreams. Last year he made it to the blind audition of The Voice; this year he has a July residency at NYC's Rockwood Music Hall to celebrate the June release of his debut EP Nightcall. Success leaves clues and there's no doubt that by the end of 2015, Aaron Pfeiffer will be a household name. "Can't Shake This", the ﬁrst single from the EP is available now on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/VrxK6

Talk Music Talk Playlist/024: Blue Is The Color
This week's TMT Spotify playlist was inspired by Aaron's soul-drenched vocals. However, let's not call it blue-eyed soul since Daryl Hall despises the term and he's included on the list...but I think you know where I'm going with this: James Blake, Todd Rundgren, Lisa Stansﬁeld and more. Over an hour of heart-felt vocals for your pleasure. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/3HAoE5afGtsMGnlLYh5t5b

Aquileo | TMT 023: Jack Rabid

Sun, 05 Apr 2015 03:46:32 +0000

Jack Rabid has not only lived through New York's early 80s punk movement, he's also a documentarian of the Lower East Side history. As editor/publisher (and co-founded with the late Dave Stein) of The Big Takeover magazine, he's spent the past 35 years detailing music in all its colorful forms. From a fanzine dedicated to The Stimulators to a full-ﬂedged bi-annual magazine, Jack's publication shows no signs of ﬂagging despite the print industry's woes.

In addition to running a magazine for three and a half decades, Jack is also a drummer. There was the early DIY band The Even Worse (whose ﬁrst show was opening for The Stimulators) and the '90s critics' darlings Springhouse. He's also done stints with Last Burning Embers and Leaving Trains.

Jack also has an online radio show, The Big Takeover Show, where he curates nearly two hours of music he can't stop playing and thinks you should, too. Listen: http://www.bigtakeover.com/radio

The Big Takeover magazine online: http://www.bigtakeover.com/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/023: Dream! Dream! Dream!
For better or worse, Jack's band Springhouse inherited the shoegaze and dreampop tags during their heyday. Unfortunately labels are often too thin to contain the full depth of a band. With that said, this week's compilation features a dozen selections from their shoegaze brethren including pioneers My Bloody Valentine and Ride plus a recent addition to the genre, Cheatahs. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 022: Malik Abdul-Rahmaan

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:42:46 +0000

Hip-Hop producer Malik Abdul Rahmaan is an inﬁnite source of music history spanning generations and cultures. It makes sense for the burgeoning musicologist who feels just at home in his Brooklyn residence or his home-away-from-home Tokyo. Malik is big in Japan where his beloved soulful beats keep him never lacking for production work. Everyone wants some of the Malik-style including Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah. His 2014 album 36 Seasons featured no less than three tracks with production by Malik. In addition to helming the sound for others, Malik is an artist in his own right; look out for his forthcoming project under his own name featuring ﬁeld sounds. Can't wait!

Aquileo | BONUS TMT: Cécile McLorin Salvant

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:35:28 +0000

French-American jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant covers the waterfront when it comes to her singular song selection. Songbook standards rub shoulders up against work songs, songs sung in her native French and smart originals. Her ﬁrst US-release, WomanChild (2013), is the eclectic scene of the crime which has been rewarded by a worldwide fervent fanbase, a Downbeat Jazz Album of the Year and a Grammy Album of the Year nomination. It's been a long two years since WomanChild arrived, but fortunately we'll be rewarded with a late-August follow-up.

Aquileo | TMT 021: Sarah Elizabeth Charles

Mon, 23 Mar 2015 20:41:31 +0000

Vocalist Sarah Elizabeth Charles is on the precipice of an exciting new career chapter. Her just released full-length album, Inner Dialogue, expands on the promise of her 2012 EP debut, Red. While the EP represented a moment in time of where she was as a bandleader with her S.E. Charles Quartet, Inner Dialogue captures her present vision. The sophomore album includes a lusher sound and lyrics that are vulnerable in their bare honesty with palette that includes jazz plus two Haitian folk arrangements and the premiere of horns in her music with the presence of co-producer/trumpet player Christian Scott. There is no doubt that Inner Dialogue will easily be one of the best albums of 2015!

If you're in the NYC area on March 30, see Sarah perform at the Inner Dialogue Release Party featuring the S.E. Charles Quartet and Christian Scott at le poisson rouge.

Aquileo | TMT 020: Aruán Ortiz

Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:49:51 +0000

As unfathomable as it seems, Cuban pianist (and composer, producer & educator) Aruán Ortiz has the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else. The proof is evident in everything he's accomplished since his 2008 New York arrival. During this period he's released ﬁve albums--- three in 2012! From Alameda in 2010 to his most recent album, Banned in London with the Michael Janisch Quintet in 2012. Ortiz can as easily be found leading his own quartet or in a duo with fellow pianist Bob Glück or as a sideman with talents like Esperanza Spalding and Don Byron. His acumen and versatility allows him to ﬂow seamlessly from setting to setting and genre to genre including jazz and experimental. Ortiz has been honored with numerous awards and accolades from The Guardian, JazzTimes Magazine, Doris Duke Artist Impact Award and Latin Jazz Corner’s Arranger of the Year.

2015 will ﬁnd Aruán back in the studio working on a new album and also the realization of his long form ensemble piece at Harlem Stage, Inside a Rhythmic Falls, which was inspired by a Haitian-based African Minuet form now standard as Tumba Francesa in Cuba.

Aruán Online: http://www.aruan-ortiz.com/#bimhius2014

Talk Music Talk Playlist/020: Aruán Ortiz Edition: This week's Spotify playlist features Aruán Ortiz in a variety of jazz settings---with his quartet, duo and even as a sideman on singer/bassist Esperanza Spalding's Junjo. Selections were cherry-picked from four albums with a nod in mood to a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/2J030uq0FeZ9dW1u2K5auo

Aquileo | TMT 018: Treehaus

Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:07:57 +0000

Treehaus is the solo music project helmed by pianist/singer/producer Josh Jacobson. Although his 2014 debut, Afterglow, was a Prince-like one man band affair, he regularly performs live as a trio with drummer Andrew Marshall and Richard Emery doubled up on bass and guitar. Lyrically inspired by nature, Afterglow is an impeccable blend of jazz, electronic and even a little respect to his Chicago roots with tinges of house music. The seamless mix ﬁnds it continuity in Josh's lush production and soulful vocals.

Josh also DJ's as evidenced by his weekly music podcast which features classics, new tracks and live instrumentation from him. Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/treehaus-podcast/id913424797?mt=2

If 2014 was the introduction of this bright new talent, the journey continues in 2015 with a phenomenal new single "Underground" premiering on this episode of Talk Music Talk.

"Underground" will be available to purchase March 10 on iTunes and http:// store.treehausmusic.com/

During the interim, the percussionist has not only spent the time crafting the band's upcoming album, he's been busy hosting his most excellent podcast No Effects with Jesse Cohen.

goste is Owen Ross. Owen Ross is goste. Whether he's ﬂying solo or in a band setting, goste effortlessly combines organic and electronic sounds with his beautifully corrosive voice crashing through the mix. The Bushwick resident's latest EP, Eugene, is a deeper exploration of a sound he's been reﬁning since his days at the Berklee College of Music. Since his move from Boston, he's been busy spreading the word with a regular spate of shows and planning his next release: a full-length album. Also on the 2015 docket, a cassette-only release of remixes featuring goste tracks reimagined by others on one side with his reworking of other artists songs on the ﬂip. Can't wait!

Talk Music Talk Playlist/016: On deck this week for the Spotify playlist? Well, I was stymied at ﬁrst; I knew I wanted to feature goste's music but what else would compliment it? The mix of organic and electronic, the darkness, the depth. It all started with a Joy Division track and from there I knew post-punk was the compass. Some Wire, some Siouxsie, early U2 and Psych Furs plus a WTF-but-this-is-so-good moment from 80's Brit-girl duo Strawberry Switchblade. This week's playlist is an abundance of moody riches jump started with the full goste EP, Eugene, trailed by 11 kinds of loneliness. Enjoy...if you're subject to melancholy.

I don't even know if she's a fan of Joni Mitchell, but I've been in a bit of a Joni-mood and felt it my duty to pass it along. This playlist covers her entire career from top to bottom plus a pair of tracks you'll only find on Herbie Hancock and Kyle Eastwood albums. Over 2 1/2 hours from this restless genius who has influenced everyone from Prince to Elliott Smith. These are some of my all time favorite songs by this living legend. Not only is this your portable Joni box set that will fit into any pocket, it's also a TMT aural Valentine for all the listeners who have supported my podcast. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 013: Christian Howes

Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:19:48 +0000

Hailing from Columbus, OH, genre-defying violinist Christian Howes was classically trained on the string instrument from the age of ﬁve; an early signpost of the success that would follow him throughout his life. A soloist with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra at 16. Working with the legendary guitar pioneer Les Paul. Praise and accolades from prestigious jazz publications JazzTimes and Downbeat.

Christian continuously deﬁes the boxed-in expectations of the violin as he gracefully explores genre after genre. He's plucked and bowed his way from one accomplishment to the next without letting personal detours hinder him. As a musician, educator and overall altruistic human being, he unceasingly uses his prodigious talent to expand the lives of others through his teaching and supporting multiple social causes. Our conversation touches on all these areas of his life. Enjoy!

Tue, 20 Jan 2015 09:30:00 +0000

Poet/Hip-Hop Artist Jack Wilson (aka D.J. Brewer) has successfully made the transition from Pittsburgh to New York in the few years since his relocation in 2012. Before he moved, he got his start through slam poetry, representing his hometown at national poetry slams from 2000-2003. During his short time in New York, he's already released three EP's and most recently a mixtape entitled HERE, which is available as a free download at www.jackwilsonmc.bandcamp.com You'll also ﬁnd plenty of other Jack Wilson music at this link.

Jack was kind enough to give TMT a ﬁrst-listen exclusive track "Daniel Striped". It was produced by Tom Phonic and will appear on his upcoming album MDSMPLS which will be available at www.tomphonic.bandcamp.com.

In 2013, Jack appeared on my song "Get Me Audio" from my album of the same name. Take a listen here:

Aquileo | TMT 012: Jerry Weber

Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:59:16 +0000

Paste Magazine once declared Jerry's Records "The Best Place To Spot World-Renowned Crate Diggers—And Nab a Bargain At The Same Time" in their list of the 17 Coolest Record Stores in America. All true! Ben Folds swings by when he's in town and I can personally attest to the affordability. Its namesake, Jerry Weber has been providing a sanctuary for vinyl junkies and newbies for over 30 years. The Pittsburgh institution currently boasts over 2.5 million records, making it the largest store that only sales used vinyl. If you don't live in the Pittsburgh area, a road trip should be in your future. I call shotgun!

Jerry's Records is featured in the sumptuous coffee table book Dust and Grooves: Adventures in Record Collecting, complied by photographer & vinyl collector Eilon Paz. The updated 2nd edition was recently released in November 2014. Find out more: www.dustandgrooves.com/book/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/012: The Pre-Vinyl Edition
For this week's playlist, in honor of Jerry, I've chosen some of my favorite pre-CD music. And yes, it did not escape me you'll be enjoying this music in the most un-analog way possible. Irregardless, this collection features music from Neil Young to Kraftwerk to Miles Davis with a slight Sunday-morning-stay-in-bed vibe.

Aquileo | TMT 009: Darden Smith

Tue, 06 Jan 2015 09:30:00 +0000

Thirteen albums into a storied career as a singer-songwriter, Darden Smith is also a humanitarian. I'd already been familiar with his music for some time and was intrigued to hear about his non-proﬁt SongwritingWith:Soldiers at the 14th Street Apple Store in Manhattan.

The purpose of SW:S is to connect professional songwriters with active duty and veteran military members to write songs from their combat stories and the experience of returning home. Darden's emotions for the soldiers was palpable as he spoke of several success stories that happened during the program's songwriting retreats.

His latest album, 2013's Love Calling, is a gorgeous organic tone poem on par with Tracy Chapman's New Beginning album. Love Calling includes my favorite track, the haunting "Baltimore", which I must confess I play on repeat. Our conversation explores his career and songwriting process plus the inception of SW:S.

Visit Darden Smith online: www.dardensmith.com

For more information on SongwritingWith: Soldiers: www.songwritingwithsoldiers.org/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/009: Darden Smith

This week's Spotify playlist is another personally chosen Best Of spanning the career of Darden Smith. From his debut Native Soul to the aforementioned Love Calling, Darden's music is a study in grace and strength.

Aquileo | TMT 008: Jason Gross

Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:30:00 +0000

I was turned onto Jason Gross and his online magazine Perfect Sound Forever by previous TMT guest Josh Medsker (Episode 007). Created in 1993, PSF is one of the earliest online music publications. He's also the social media manager and a writer/editor at TheBlot, a digital culture publication. Jason's also written for The Wire and Village Voice.

The informal motto of TMT is "Conversation Through Music" and my talk with Jason is an excellent example. The intention was to discuss the trends of 2014 but current events in the news were also weaved into the interview.

Perfect Sound Forever www.perfectsoundforever.com
TheBlot Magazine www.theblot.com/

This week the TMT Spotify playlist went on holiday since Perfect Sound Forever did all the heavy lifting. With not one, but three playlists chosen by Jason Gross. It's an abundance of riches and the perfect (pun intended) way to close out the last TMT episode of 2014. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 007: Daniel Givens

Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:30:00 +0000

As a proud self-confessed music junkie, it's always exciting to meet a fellow addict to ﬁll in the blanks of discovery. My ﬁrst clue should have been Daniel's informative reviews on the website of Other Music, an esteemed record store located in lower Manhattan, where he is an employee. Sound unheard, I could read one of his reviews and purchase a new release based solely on his recommendation. This year's Shabazz Palaces and Neneh Cherry albums being standout examples. Obviously, I had to bring him on the show. It wasn't until I researched him that found out Daniel is a DJ, artist, poet, musician and more. Instead of only discussing 10 of his favorite albums of 2014, I was interested in hearing about his artistic career. It's the conversation that couldn't be contained within an hour. Enjoy!

Visit Daniel on Tumblr: www.1stdark.tumblr.com

Other Music: www.othermusic.com

Talk Music Talk Playlist/007: Daniel Givens Edition

This week's TMT Spotify playlist is twice the bang! Two exciting playlists in one with the DNA of guest Daniel Givens running through both. The ﬁrst half features 9 selections from Daniel's favorite albums of 2014; he chose the albums, I cherry-picked the songs (see list below). Since Daniel's quite the accomplished musician himself, the second half of the playlist is a TMT exclusive Best Of---per yours truly. Daniel's musical palette goes from trippy jazz excursions to moody dub and electronica. My advice? After listening to the interview, ﬁnd a private place with some headphones and enter the aural eclipse from Daniel Givens' mind. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/79azyvqfJzbzmolOMHpj1O

My advice? First, listen to the podcast then go online and read the latest issue of Twenty-Four Hours and let this careening playlist be your soundtrack.

It's the amalgamation of a sound that combines two different genres that simultaneously describes what she does and provides a starting point to a larger conversation of eclecticism. She hails from Pittsburgh and currently resides in NYC where she regularly performs in various venues including Rockwood Music Hall and the Bitter End. She's currently working on new music to be released as live recordings in 2015. Although we knew each other casually in Pittsburgh, where I'm also from originally, this was our first time having a conversation.

Eric Himan is an indie singer-songwriter with 7 studio albums released including his latest Gracefully. He's sold over 40,000 CD's and this year he opened for and performed with one of his musical heroes Ani DiFranco.

In 2005, I ﬁrst met Eric in Pittsburgh shortly after the release of his third album Dark Horse. He was on tour to promote the release and brieﬂy lived in the city. Touring has been a constant for Eric for over a decade and he's winding down in 2014 to take a break from the road. He'll still continue to release music which includes his forthcoming release Playing Cards. We discuss life on the road, Ani, being an out indie artist and more.

This week's playlist is the best of Eric Himan...well, my favorite Eric Himan, but I'm conﬁdent you'll enjoy what I've chosen. These tracks span his decade-plus career from folk to r & b to a couple of covers and all the way up to his excellent latest release, Gracefully. If you're already a fan, you probably already love these songs or created your own personal playlist of favorites. If you're an Eric neophyte, here's your perfect 18 song introduction to an artist who stylistically covers the waterfront. Enjoy!

Aquileo | TMT 003: Eyre

Sat, 08 Nov 2014 17:00:00 +0000

In a clear example of serendipity, I was in a TMT state of mind when I ﬁrst heard Eyre's amazing voice. I was at the Barclays subway stop in Brooklyn and had just left my producer's studio. I was on a high because we'd completed "Liz"--the TMT theme song I'd written. My train was coming so I hastily typed in Eyre's website in my Notes app and checked out his website. I discovered through his blog he moved from California to New York nine months ago. He eloquently writes about his struggles in pursuing his musical dreams yet somehow maintains a positive attitude that is truly inspiring to anyone who's ever had a dream.

TALK MUSIC TALK PLAYLIST:

It's no secret that Michael Jackson made some of his most vital and exciting music in his adult solo career. However, there are some naysayers that claim it was all downhill after Thriller and if they want to be generous, certainly after Bad. I agree with Susan Fast that MJ continued to create great art on the last three studio albums before his untimely death. This week's playlist focuses on this period: Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible. Although there are hits included, I've chosen to represent his rich album tracks that perhaps don't get the attention they deserve. Enjoy!

TALK MUSIC TALK PLAYLIST:

Two tracks from Von's self-realized blend of soul and electronica make the most perfect bookends. In between you'll ﬁnd a bevy of complementary music, to quote Outkast, that's cooler than Freddie Jackson sipping a milkshake. New music from Mapei and Azealiza Banks sit comfortably next to some truly trippy sounds from the one and only Barbra Streisand---you have to hear it to believe it. Enjoy!
