AlinaHipHarp - Afro Blue / Paris Sur Le Toit + remixes - another player in the burgeoning jazz harp field

In the tradition of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Alina is innovating the use of the Harp in Jazz with contemporary melodies overlaying fresh Hip-Hop beats. Utilising live instrumentation and the contributions of the cream of UK Jazz talent (Tony Kofi, Jay Phelps, Julie Walkington among them) Alina has created two tracks that will be massive additions to the Jazz and Black music canons. This re-imagining of 'Afro Blue' features a wonderful vocal performance from Vimala Rowe which interplays with the Harp solos over a strongly percussive bass driven track that lends itself to the dance floor as the Latin feel of the track builds and builds into a series of solos from the horns, percussion and drums. 'Paris Sur La Toit' is a masterclass in Jazz Hip-Hop with rhymes laid down in French and English by SANITY and Tom TheyThem. Here Alina's Harp provides the changing dynamics of the track, giving the atmosphere which bridges from the break beats to the stunning vocals. Having these original materials to work with, the creative inputs of both DJ Spinna and Sly Johnson are at the top of their respective games bringing new resonances and nuance to 'Paris Sur le Toit'. Paris based composer and vocalist Sly Johnson presents us with his TAGi remix that strips back to the beats in order to bring forth the inter-play between the spoken word, the sung vocals of the chorus and that wonderful harp playing. Brooklynite DJ Spinna's remix brings us a fuller sound where the slow funk of the synth bass drives the vocals along and provides a space for those harp melodies to dance in. This EP is a digital release with seven tracks including the original groove of 'Afro Blue' along with the remixes and instrumentals of 'Paris Sur Le Toit'.

They/Them (2022)

C

I don't typically watch horror movies. It's not that I dislike them, but there's usually something else I'd rather watch instead. They/Them did little to change my mind about that. It's not a bad movie, but it's not a very good movie, either.

If you're expecting a gory killfest, They/Them is not that kind of movie. With a single digit kill count, most of the horror derives from the film's setting, a gay conversion camp. Perhaps they should have called it simply TheyThem, as there really isn't much slashing to speak of. If you're LGBT+ like I am, the scenes focusing on the conversion aspect may likely be more disturbing than the murders. Let's just say, with a title like that, that was not the kind of campy horror I was expecting. Spoilers below.

The murders are good, actually (plot-wise, anyway; they're not terribly visually exciting). It's not the LGBT teens who are the victims, but the sadistic camp counselors. They prey on these children in more ways than one. Balthazar the groundskeeper (Mark Ashworth) is a peeping tom, and Zane the athletics director (Boone Platt) and his fiancée, Sarah (Hayley Griffith), break into the campers' phones to see their... personal photos. Zane, at least, is purportedly a graduate of the camp, but it becomes clear that proprietor Owen Whistler's (Kevin Bacon) methods didn't really hold. Perhaps this can be taken as a meta-commentary on the (in)efficacy of conversion camps in general.

Overall, there isn't very much in the way of suspense or tension. Like I said, I don't usually watch slasher flicks, but I'd argue that any such movie where you tend to forget that you're watching a slasher has failed at the genre. Actually, come to think of it, this might have been the first movie I've watched that was billed as a slasher. Well, the bright side is that it's likely the next one I watch will be better.

TL;DR They/Them is definitely one of the movies on Peacock.
