“After his high society white wife committed suicide in a cafe he owned in Chicago, Johnson married another white woman it was no coincidence.

But one could question the frame-up he faced. I mean, Jack Johnson being convicted of violating the "White Slavery Act and being sentenced to a year and a day imprisonment ... But exiled to Paris with joy-and as usual "Very Grand. It had to be Europe and they say he had a pet leopard he'd walk while drinking champagne with crowds following.
Dig this--The fight he lost (1915) in Havana was rumored to be thrown-Jack Johnson died like he lived in a fast car (1946--age 68).
The music on this album speaks for itself! But dig the guitar and the bass-They are /'Far-in"- and so is the producer Teo Macero. He did it again!”

Who wants to read this excerpt from the #LinerNotes of Wayne Shorter’s (R.I.P.) Night Dreamer album?

"What I'm trying to express here, Shorter notes, "is a sense of judgment approaching - judgment for everything alive from the smallest ant to man.”
As you will hear, the music on the album is hopeful, and so I asked Shorter what kind of "judgment" he anticipated. After all, the title of the last number is Armageddon. "I know, " Wayne answered, "that the accepted meaning of Armageddon is the last battle between good and evil - whatever that is. But my definition of the judgment to come is a period of total enlightenment in which we will discover what we are and why we're here.”

The music in this album is sanguine because Shorter feels that the onset of enlightenment will not only mean the end of war and prejudice but also the realization by more and more people that they exist in order to grow beyond their present capacities.
Shorter's proclamation of the enlightenment to come begins with Night Dreamer.

Whatever happened to #LinerNotes for #music albums. Why are details of players, and music not provided by online streaming services?

I think #linernotes should begin a tradition of celebrating #BandcampFriday by sharing those records in your wishlist you can't wait to get, even if you're not getting it today. @djsundog made me an admin so now you have to listen to me or don't it's all good.

Lewis - L'Amour

Self released 1983

While I was putting together that piece on Jandek, I was reminded of a review I read that said that Lewis’ 1983 release L’amour sounded like Jandek covering Twin Peaks, and honestly, isn’t that something we all want in our lives?

The album is 37 minutes of acoustic guitar, soft-synth, and a baritone voice whispering, mumbling, things he clearly believes to be vital.

It’s beautiful, in a subtle way. It's dreamlike. It sticks with you. It’s available from Light in the attic records.

There is very little that is actually Jandekian about L’amour, aside from the mystery surrounding the musician, and it’s completely independent release. Where Jandek’s music is harsh and dissonant, everything about this album is soft, melodic, and wonderful. It is almost, but not exactly, like something you’d expect to be featured in a Wes Anderson film.

There is something very David Lynch/Twin Peaks about the sound, and about the story of the album.

The story goes that this guy scammed his way through recording and releasing this thing. Promising everyone that they’d get paid, eventually and ducking out of town before anyone noticed.

The record was self-released, and some crate diggers dug it up about ten years ago, and folks the world over started falling in love.

It’s a beautiful experience. I’m glad that it got a wider release.

Listening to this, though, and thinking about the story makes me really wonder what else is out there. Who else has an unmarketable, not commercially viable work of beauty sitting on a cassette in a shoe-box in their closet? What’s it going to take to get you to release yours?
