#Great Artist Series

FredFilms ♥️ Horace Silver!

FredFilms Postcards Series 4.6

It’s almost impossible to sum up the 60+ years of Horace Silver’s professional life as a pianist, band leader and composer in a blog post. Suffice it to say that he walked the line of being a sophisticated, acclaimed musician, while at the same time releasing a whole bunch of accessible and popular records, primarily on the BlueNote record label.

(For you yacht rockers, you should compare Steely Dan’s “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” from 1974 with Horace’s 1964 classic “Song for My Father.”)

“Great Artist” indeed!

PS: And let’s not forget the ‘great artist’ who shot this photography (and another in our series), Blue Note Records co-founder and photographer, Francis Wolff.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

🐾 Quite beastly! 🐾

(ID: Kirby series fanart of @jojo-schmo’s Elfilis & Bandee from her Forgotten Land Roleswap AU. Elfilis leaps towards our right, reaching away and glancing at the light over their shoulder, flowers scattering in their wake. Bandee hovers parallel to them, glaring at the viewer and holding his spear-turned-scythe across his shoulders, the blade curving beneath him and catching the light in sharp sparkles, his ragged cape billowing around him, and red feathers floating behind him. END ID.)

FredFilms loves Carla Bley!

FredFilms Postcard Series 4.5

Over the course of my life, I’ve learned from all kinds of artists. Animators and illustrators, sure. But also writers (natch!), engineers (they’re artists too) and, most of all, musicians.

Composers Carla Bley and Michael Mantler were my first creative bosses. First, when they had the audacity –and necessity!– to start their own record labels and distribution non-profit when no other place would give them a break. They hired me as a flunky, but boy did I get a lot from that gig. Where else would a young man meet Phillip Glass or Jimmy Garrison and learn about the breadth of artist produced music of the era? I was in heaven. And then, when 20 years into her composing career, Carla decided to take a big band out on tour, I was the sound guy and assistant road manager. As I’ve said before, a great chance to meet a bunch of misfit geniuses.

Carla (”jazz composer and provocateur”) passed away at 87 while this postcard was already in production. I was so honored to learn from her.
