10″ LPs – Modern Jazz 5000 Series
The Blue Note Modern Jazz Series began in late 1951 with the following 10″ monaural LPs. Some of these LPs were later reissued as part of the Blue Note 1500 Series of 12″ LPs. At first, recordings were made in various studios in New York (Reeves Sound Studio, WOR Studios, Apex Studios, Audio Video Studios). Beginning in October 1953, however, most Blue Note sessions took place in Rudy van Gelder’s home studio in Hackensack, New Jersey. (Van Gelder moved the studio to Englewood Cliffs in early July 1959.) The sessions were produced by Alfred Lion and engineered by Van Gelder, and many LP covers featured photographs by Lion’s childhood friend Francis Wolff.

Blue Note 1500 series
Blue Note made the change to 12″ LPs late in 1955. The Modern Jazz Series continued with the following 12″ LPs. Most of these were issued in both monaural versions (BLP series) and artificial stereo versions (BST 81000 series). Beginning in 1956 with BLP 1509, Reid Miles designed most of the Blue Note LP covers. Together with Alfred Lion’s production, Rudy van Gelder’s engineering, and Frank Wolff’s photography, Miles’ designs defined the Blue Note look and sound. The Blue Note 4000 series began in the mid-1950s with many of the same artists. The 1500 series has been systematically reissued by Toshiba in Japan (“Blue Note Works 1500″ series, 20-bit K2 CDs); the catalog numbers are TOCJ-1501, etc. In addition, originally unissued material from these late 50s dates was made available on Toshiba’s 1600 series (20-bit K2 CDs).

Blue Note 4000 Series
The Modern Jazz Series continued into the 1970s with the LPs listed below. Many were issued in both monaural versions (BLP series) and stereo versions (BST 84000 series).

By the late 60s Blue Note was changing: the label was sold to Liberty Records in 1965; Reid Miles and Alfred Lion retired by mid-1967; Frank Wolff died in 1971. But much of the best jazz of the early and mid-60s can be heard on Blue Note recordings.

The Sun Ra thing (a few posts down) has been a lil’ bit popular but that pails into insignificance when you listen to this mix.

Mixed by Monohub, it is a truly outstanding piece of mixology, if your unsure about Sun Ra and are looking for an introduction then you can’t do no wrong by having a go of this…. Do it now!

Black Dada Nihilismus

Trust me on this one it’s fucking good…
Conceited…
Er yep
Sorry!

Black Dada Nihilismus

Against what light

is false what breath
sucked, for deadness.
Murder, the cleansed

purpose, frail, against
God, if they bring him
bleeding, I would not

forgive, or even call him
black dada nihilismus.

The protestant love, wide windows,
color blocked to Mondrian, and the
ugly silent deaths of jews under

the surgeon’s knife. (To awake on
69th street with money and a hip
nose. Black dada nihilismus, for

the umbrella’d jesus. Trillby intrigue
movie house presidents sticky on the floor.
B.D.N., for the secret men, Hermes, the

blacker art. Thievery (ahh, they return
those secret gold killers. Inquisitors
of the cocktail hour. Trismegistus, have

them, in their transmutation, from stone
to bleeding pearl, from lead to burning
looting, dead Moctezuma, find the West

a grey hideous space.

2.

From Sartre, a white man, it gave
the last breath. And we beg him die,
before he is killed. Plastique, we

do not have, only thin heroic blades.
The razor. Our flail against them, why
you carry knives? Or brutaled lumps of

heart? Why you stay, where they can
reach? Why you sit, or stand, or walk
in this place, a window on a dark

warehouse. Where the minds packed in
straw. New homes, these towers, for those
lacking money or art. A cult of death

need of the simple striking arm under
the streetlamp. The cutters, from under
their rented earth. Come up, black dada

nihilismus. Rape the white girls. Rape
their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.

Black dada nihilismus, choke my friends

in their bedrooms with their drinks spilling
and restless for tilting hips or dark liver
lips sucking splinters from the master’s thigh.

Black scream
and chant, scream,
and dull, un
earthly
hollering. Dada, bilious
what ugliness, learned in the dome, colored holy
shit (i call them sinned

or lost
burned masters
of the lost
nihil German killers
all our learned

art, ’member
what you said
money, God, power,
a moral code, so cruel
it destroyed Byzantium, Tenochtitlan, Commanch
(got it, Baby!

For tambo, willie best, dubois, patrice, mantan, the
bronze buckaroos.

For Jack Johnson, asbestos, tonto, buckwheat,
billie holiday.

For tom russ, l’overture, vesey, beau jack,

(may a lost god damballah, rest or save us
against the murders we intend
against his lost white children
black
dada
nihilismus

Scrimshire: Certainly released today

Scrimshire: Certainly
(Wah Wah 45s – WAH7022)

Almost another year on and Scrimshire’s third single on Wah Wah 45s finally drops. Having wowed us with two house tinged joints (featuring remixes from Spiritual South and Aaron Jerome) the third coming is a Scandinavian special featuring the head nodding beats of Stavanger´s King Knut on ´Mistaken´ and the lush vocal talents of Norwegian songstress Inga-Lill Aker on the lead track.

Inga-Lill´s vocals already charmed us on the Scandinavian Airlines´ favourite ´Warm Sound´ and once again she hooks up with Scrimshire to produce a jazz flavoured dance floor monster. On the flip, electro/soul whiz kid King Knut strips down ´Mistaken´ and resets Rob Hynd´s rasping vocals for a future down tempo classic!
