Tales from the Concert Crypt | Welcome to Tales from the Concert Crypt, the first in another series of themed episodes that will show up here from time to time. January 2012 was a good month for jazz shows in New York City, with more shows than I could sneak out for. Of the four I did catch, I was lucky to score recordings of each. The sound quality might not be up to the standard you're used to here, but the performances are well worth it. For more about this episode, including a list of the artists and tracks appearing, visit www.burningdervish.com, click on "Podcast" and look for the episode, "Tales from the Concert Crypt" If you like what you hear, support the artists; buy their music and go see them live. Until next time, peace. | 2/2/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Majesty of King Tubby | If King Tubby did not invent dub, it hardly matters who did. With hundreds, or even thousands, of sides standing witness to his wizardry, he elevated the form to an exalted level. Jamaican dub of the roots reggae era is the direct antecedent of modern remix culture, which spans music, the visual arts, and even high technology. For the purposes here, it is dub's immediate effect on the brain that is most impressive... For a setlist and details about the music in this episode, visit www.burningdervish.com. Click on "Podcast" and look for the episode, "The Majesty of King Tubby". As always, if you dig the music in this podcast, please support the artists by buying their music and where possible, going to see them live. Thanks. Enjoy. And let me know what you think. And until next time...Peace. | 1/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

McCoy Tyner 1961 | Welcome to another Burning Dervish podcast episode devoted to the music of McCoy Tyner. This music was recorded over a six month span in 1961 and illustrates the breakneck speed with which jazz was transforming. In late May and early June 1961, Tyner was part of the John Coltrane group that recorded the ground-breaking Impulse! album Africa/Brass. By early November, the month that record was released, the core group of Coltrane, Tyner, Elvin Jones, Reggie Workman and notably, Eric Dolphy, were turning the jazz world upside down with the aggressive music they made across four nights at New York's Village Vanguard. Track the evolution here. For a setlist and other details about this music, visit www.burningdervish.com. Click on "Podcast" and look for the episode, "McCoy Tyner: 1961". Enjoy. And let me know what you think. Remember, if you like what you hear, support the artist. McCoy is still out there gigging and making records. Go to a show and buy some recordings. Until next time, peace. | 1/10/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

2011 - A Year in Music | I am not a big fan of the "year end best of", top ten lists or other methods of ranking and scoring music. Mainly because I do not really care what anyone else thinks the "best" music out there is, but more importantly to me, music is not a competitive sport. Music is art, at once communal and also deeply personal. In that spirit I want to share a bunch of songs that I enjoyed discovering throughout 2011, all from records released during the calendar year. I have no idea if this was the "best" music issued or even what that means but I hope your ears are tickled and your curiosity is piqued enough to dig in further. If you do want to learn more about the music here, go to www.burningdervish.com. Click on "Podcast" and look for the episode "2011 - A Year in Music". There you will find a complete details concerning the tracks featured here as well as links to my original reviews of each of the albums these were pulled from or in one case, an interview I did with one of the artists. If you like what you heard, please remember to support the artists: buy their music and go see them live. Enjoy. And let me know what you think. Also, if you are inclined, please consider kicking in a buck or two to support this podcast. Every little bit helps with the hosting and streaming and keeps us from being victims of our own success. Thanks. Until next time…Peace. | 1/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Each of these have a backstory worth digging into. To that end, I have included links to information about most of them on burningdervish.com. Visit the site, click on "Podcast" and look for the episode "R8B Lost and Found". If you like your soul music with a little bit of funk and a psychedelic edge, you'll get that here, especially if you make it through to the tracks at the end...

Back Door Slam | Every few years a pop artist or group comes along that conjures up the sounds of one "golden age" or another. For about 15 minutes 20 years it ago it was Lenny Kravitz. More recently, we had Amy Winehouse and just this year, Adele. Many artists fashion superstar careers mining retro gold. Others register barely a blip. For this episode of the Burning Dervish Podcast, we are going to focus on Back Door Slam, one of those lesser-known artists who hit the scene, made some noise and went their separate ways. For a complete rundown of the set, please visit www.burningdervish.com. Click on "Podcast" and look for the episode "Back Door Slam". | 12/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

McCoy Tyner 1960 & 61 | The jazz world ushered in the 1960s with a fury of innovative change. A bold avant-garde stretched the form while also making accessible and engaging records. Across just nine months in one corner of that world, pianist McCoy Tyner played on a variety of sessions that together serve as a concise illustration of the ground bop was ceding to modality, melody and more. During this time, he began his tenure and apprenticeship with saxophonist John Coltrane, led his own first sessions and participated in the creation of music whose excitement and ingenuity has yet to be surpassed. This podcast is adapted from a playlist I originally created for the website AllAboutJazz.com.
