thought i'd start this thread and see if it goes anywhere: the idea is to list aural art (music / sound) we love and which taught us something. it doesn't have to have used the concept. old stuff is good. new stuff is the goal. say something about what you post if you want.
i'll kick it off with a few things. hopefully you'll add to it.
christian marclay, artist in the area of visual music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yqM3dAqTzs
charles mingus, mingus ah um. caught me off guard in a bookstore recently and made me hear again what an amazing series of structured compositions this is. mingus well-deserved claim to serious composer status.
charlie parker, lover man from the dial sesions. motherlode taught me a lot about this in a forum conversation. i just love the feeling, which always seems new.
george rusell, newport 1964. again the old speaks of the moment (this moment)
gonzalo rubalcaba, images (giant steps) jazz re-re-composed live
jason moran just needs to be here. and we should thank him for it
krystof komeda, crazy girl. an album by "the komeda project" reconstructing polish jazz in new jersey http://www.komedaproject.com
tony malaby, adobe
wayne shorter, at the usher hall edinburgh 2003 downloaded from http://jazzbootleg.blogspot.com/
new stuff is the goal

An open letter from Alice Russell. June 21, 2011, Brookline, Massachusetts. 1. DO NOT make insulting, mean spirited remarks about anyone or their work; there are a plethora of sites where you can rant unfettered. If you attack someone personally, your comments will be removed. You can post it, but I'm not paying for it. Go elsewhere, and let those artists who are actually interested in discussion and learning have the floor. 2. There will be NO posting of or links to copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner. That's the law. And if you respect the work of people who make meaningful contributions, you should have no problem following this policy. 3. I appreciate many of the postings from so many of you. Please don't feel you have to spend your time "defending" the LCC to those who come here with the express purpose of disproving it. George worked for decades to disprove it himself; if you know his music, there's no question that it has gravity. And a final word: George was famous for his refusal to lower his standards in all areas of his life, no matter the cost. He twice refused concerts of his music at Lincoln Center Jazz because of their early position on what was authentically jazz. So save any speculation about the level of him as an artist and a man. The quotes on our websites were not written by George; they were written by critics/writers/scholars/fans over many years. Sincerely, Alice

Messiaen, MMMMMMmmm.....
Contrast these two movements of his "Quartet for the End of Time." Both absolutely beautiful for different reasons.
