Ethan Iverson - Costumes Are Mandatory - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The effects of the bebop revolution in jazz music are still being felt and explored. Of the half dozen true pioneers of the movement, pianist Bud Powell has remained somewhat in the shadows, although his work has become a major touchstone for true devotees of the music and a principal influence for most of jazz's most explorative pianists. // Powell's brilliant original compositions are essential, infinitely listenable but also strangely tricky. Unlike Monk, Parker and Gillespie, the composer neglected to perform them much after their original recordings, so they never became a part of the jazz lingua franca. Pianist and historian Ethan Iverson provides a fantastic validation of Powell's compositional genius on his new recording, Bud Powell In The 21st Century, a reworking of a number of Powell's pieces for big band.

The Rainbow and The Dove is the debut LP by Spider Bite, a project featuring Daniel Romano, Ian Romano (Daniel Romano's Outfit, Career Suicide) and Steven Lambke (Constantines) returning to their roots in the thriving pit of DIY hardcore punk. This exclusive LP pressing includes the self-titled Bandcamp-only from the spring of 2020 on Side 1, a 10 song dispatch from the depths of the first COVID-19 lockdown, a world poised between protests and uprisings, when a fearful silence seemed to hold it's breath, twitching the curtains, and strange imaginations ran unleashed through dark streets. Side 2 is the new album, an assemblage of teachings from punk elders, a passionate rejection of settler-colonialism, environmental racism, and the general exploitation of the world by monarchs and resource extraction companies. Animated by a surprising humour and immense instrumental power, Spider Bite create a vibrant portrait of living in violent times. This is our music.A1. BLOOD AND SUFFERING (1 23)A2.
