"Let My Children Hear Music:" Charles Mingus' Masterpiece of Orchestral Jazz
Introduction: Charles Mingus, one of the most innovative and influential composers in jazz history, produced an immense body of work over his career that spanned bebop, hard bop, and avant-garde styles. Yet, of all his creations, âLet My Children Hear Music,â released in 1972, stands out as a monumental testament to his genius. Described by Mingus himself as âthe best album I have ever made,ââŠ

If I could give the suggestion of Aaron gaining full custody of Y/n in court with everyone happy and all while Diana is throwing a whole ass fit?đ thxđ
(Love it! Fuck Diana and Phil)
After the 'hair incident' Aaron felt confident to move for full custody of you, he was sick of having to hand you over to her every weekend only for you to come back home moody, mute or mutilated and now that you were missing half your hair he had real evidence to push forward, and he had been planning to do so for months now and looking back wished he hadn't settled for majority and instead demanded full.
But today was his day in court, Diana had barley shown up the last few weeks but there she was standing across the room with an officer between them, as was Aarons request since you were still, untreatably quite afraid of her that Diana threw a whole tantrum about, cussing out the judge and being found guilty of contempt of court. The family had been basically coaching you to go on the stand and explain what had happened that night, how she held you down the carpet, how she screamed and cried as she cut off half your hair and how you ran out the house in the deep snow only to be by some miracle found by your Uncle Jeff while Diana stared you down from across the room along with Phil, causing you to simply stop speaking several times during the trial. Once Aaron noticed that Diana and Phil were staring you out he and the family (Rio Jeff and Miles) would simply stare back at them, the poor judge was so confused by this intense stare off from across the court he called a recess.
Closing statements was an emotional experience, everyone except Miles had a say...
Aaron: "Your honour, over the years Diana Nefratari has tried to tear my child apart only for her own pathological need to destroy. The affect she has on my daughter has only ever manifested in self destructive behaviours, Y/n is nine and has actively been hurting herself since she was 7, ripping out her hair with her bare hands and hitting her head against wall's and tables so hard I, and other family members have had to hold her in order to stop her, I believe fully that these are learned behaviours from Diana as I have seen her on so many occasions do the same things to herself, and I am afraid of how this will manifest as she grows older. She is both blatantly abusive and neglectful, from the December incident to not feeding her well over weekends to ripping out her hair with a brush only to later cut it off, and allowing Phil a grown man who I, nor the family know to hit her for simple childish mistakes, destroying my daughters things that make her happy, such as doll's, drawing's she done for her in front of her, to later love bombing her with expensive clothing and Bratz doll's that I believe she only buys to keep her silent about the previous weekend, there have been occasions where I have had to drag Y/n to the Deli down 11th street to be picked up by Diana she is so afraid of her own mother she would rather lock herself in her room than go be with her...
My daughter's childhood has been tainted by this woman who never cared about being a part of her life, she never even cared enough to learn how do her hair, or to take her to a salon, she never wanted her, and I am so sick of having to prove to this court and to CPS and who ever else that I'm a good father, and that I'm competent. I'm always picking up after this woman I am constantly trying to keep her in check so that when I hand Y/n back over to her I don't get another call saying that she was found on the side of the street bare foot and missing a coat. I am so tired and all I want is to able to raise my daughter without Mr's Nefratari influence, I am afraid of what her influence dose to her"
Once his statement was over he sat down next to you and took your small hand in his and held tight while Rio stood to the podium.
Rio: "Athem..Uh My name is Rio Morales, I am Y/n Davis auntie and...I have been present Y/n's whole life while Diana has only been present for the last 7 years, I had to teach Aaron how to lay her, feed and burp her. And it was me who tried to encourage Diana to seek help, for years I made excuses for her hoping she would get the help she needed...but at some point the way she was treating people, especially Y/n was no longer due to her illness but pure spite. I think truly under Diana's illness is a angry and...quite evil woman. After the December Incident when my husband brought her back home freezing I put her in a hot bath and saw how uncaring she took it that her own mother had done this to her,
she sat silently in the bath while I poured hot water down her back, she didn't cry she didn't scream she just sat and starred. I don't dare to think what might have happened if my some miracle my Husband wasn't there to find her, I too have seen the self harm mentioned earlier, a child slamming their head onto a marble table until they are stopped and being held down until she exhausted herself is never a normal thing, and I also believe that this is a learned behaviour. It is true that Myself and Diana got in a physical fight after she refused to sign the contract, and it is true that I hit her first, but I am exhausted, I have raised this baby and watched Diana undo all of it and then I made excuses for her for years, and she has sunken this family all because she is spiteful and petty, In my mind I have done all the work of raising her from a motherly point while Diana simply creates more problems for us...Thank you for your time"
She down next to Miles and nervously tabbed her foot while Jeff placed a hand on her shoulder and also took the stand.
Jeff: "Your Honour, My name is Jefferson Davis and I am, as you know a police officer, over each weekend I spend instead of being with my family patrolling the area of Grave Send listening out for domestic disturbance call's, and when ever I get one my mind immediately goes to Mrs Nefratari. There have been times where I park my car across her street and wait for a reason to go in there, a scream a smash a suspicious shadow anything. And it is only because of tracking that I found Y/n during the November incident, If I hadn't found I don't carte to think who would, I think Diana is both willingly incompetent and passively abusive, and I think it would be a grave mistake, and also underserving to continue to award her weekend custody"
He too sat down next to Rio and placed a hand on her tapping leg, the Judge looked over to the left side of the room where Diana and Phil sat.
Judge: "Dose the defence have a closing statement?"
Diana: "No, Your honour"
Judge: "Alright then, I will retire to deliberate" She bangs her gavel onto the stand as you and the family clear out the court and shuffle down the isle, Diana goes to exit too but is stopped by the dividing officer, she can't leave until you have exited the room, once your out the court house and it on the marble staircase outside looking out onto the street with passing cars and shuffling people Aaron see's how desperately you don't want to be there with your vacant expression looking out into nothingness. Aaron puts a hand on your shoulder and lightly pulls you into his chest and puts his head un top of yours.
Aaron: "Your doing great baby"
Y/n: "When can we leave?"
Aaron: "Soon,soon"
While Rio, Jeff and Miles all sit next to you Rio looks over to Aaron and gives him a sympathetic look not long after they are called back into the court, again you saw Diana with Phil standing down the hallway with the officer while she waved at you smiling sweetly, once Aaron see's this he turns your head away from her back to facing the door and marches you on.
Once back in the court room when your family all sits in a row you next to Miles kicking your feet Diana and Phil both shuffle back into the room. "All rise" Said the officer, Rio had to prompt Miles to stand as this was his first time in court as the Judge entered the room and sat back in her throne like chair.
Judge: "Will the defendant and the Plaintiff please rise"
Aaron and Diana stand while Aaron is till holding your small hand, he knows the odds are in his favour but he is still nervous.
Judge: "I Judge Branton, award Aaron Davis full custody of Y/n Nefratari Davis from today onwards with the power destoned on me from the state of New York City following evidence of Diana Nefratari's negligence and abuse. Diana Nefratari will still be owed supervised visits when ever the primary carer, Aaron Davis agrees. And due to the December 17th incident I hear by dissolve all of Diana's Nefrataris parental righ-"
Diana: "Excuse me?!"
Judge: "Mrs Nefratari please hold your words until I'm done"
Diana: "I don't understand she RAN out the house why Am I being punished because SHE wanted to be dramatic?!"
Judge: "Mrs Nefratari, please stop talking or I will have you removed from the court and we will continue with out you"
Diana: "That Is illegal! I have to be present or-"
Judge: "Mrs Nefratari please stop talking, this is your last warning"
Diana sat back down in a huff as the Judge continued.
Judge: "I am striking all of Diana Nefratari's parental rights, and imposing a temporary restraining order to carry through till the end of this month" He wacked his gavel on the stand again.
Judge: "Court is adjourned"
It was over. It was finally over and he had won, he would never have to see her again and neither would you, he could move on finally spend weekends with you, have the Friday dinners with the Morales he had always wanted it was over and he had won, and now Aaron would never admit this, especially to you but Aaron also wanted one over Diana for all she had put him through, and there was nothing that would upset her more than losing her parental rights, he looked over the room to see her crying her crocodile tears to Phil who stroked her back as she screamed over to the judge to change his mind, he scooped you up and held you to his chest.
Aaron: "We won baby! We won! You did so well" He kissed the top of your head as he felt himself tear up just a tad.
And while Aaron was ecstatic you were more solon, you had a apathetic look on your face and didn't return your Dad's hug, once he put you back on the ground you looked back over to your Mom hysterically crying and made eye contact with Phil who seemed to be angry with you.
Aaron: "Come on now baby let's go" He took your hand and shuffled out the court with The Morales's and once you were in the great hall you heard a scream you all turned around to see Diana had fully lunged past her guard and was speeding towards you.
Diana: "MY BABY HE'S TAKING MY BABY!" On lookers overserved confused.
Rio: "Oh my God, is she serious?"
Aaron covered your eyes with one hand and pressed your back to turn away from her and keep walking while you resisted, even though you were afraid, you wanted to see her.
Aaron: "Come on keep walking"
Y/n: "But she's upset"
Aaron: "I know but we gotta go like now" He pulled you further down the hall.
Diana: "AARON! YOU BRING HER BACK SHE'S MINE!" You again turned back to look at her only to see Rio and Jeff had formed a human wall to block you vision of her, but you could still hear her scream for you.
Diana: "Y/N! MOMMY LOVES YOU!"
Jesus Christ when will she stop? Aaron thought to himself hurrying you faster out the great hall while Diana was tackled down by security.
While the five you shuffled out the building and made it out the onto the side walk Aaron could not help but grin to himself as his brother congratulated him for finally winning full custody.
Jeff: "I can't believe you did it Man, Full custody and only supervised visits that's basically un heard of for men"
Rio: "I'm just disappointed it took so long"
While the adults chatted away Miles noticed you simply looking sadly at the floor still loosly holding Aarons hand.
Miles: "Ay, you okay?"
...
Miles: "Hello? Earth to Y/n" He waved his hand in front of you.
Y/n: "I'm okay"
Miles: "You don't look okay"
Y/n: "I'm fine Miles"
Miles: ""I saw your Mom back there she looked pretty upset"
Y/n: "I know"
Miles: "Do you think she's okay?"
Y/n: "I don't wanna talk about it"
Miles: "..okay"
Rio: "How about we get something to eat?"
Jeff: "yeah that sounds great, where should we go?"
Aaron lightly pulled on your hand.
Aaron: "Where you wanna go baby?"
...
Y/n: "I want to go home"

weird that people would think rust doesn't listen to music when he's an artist and literally n would not survive without art. He listens to tina turner, johnny lee hooker, skip james, miles davis--anything moody and contemplative
no you are sooo correct. like the ascetic life he's living when we meet him in '95 isn't one without creative thought (he literally spends his evenings in contemplation of the crucifixion and other such philosophical meanderings) and that's what music is! the opportunity for creative thought! also let this sad man have a soundtrack jesus CHRIST he hasn't got anything else
anyway to prove these people wrong i spent the last hour making the Rust Cohle Mixtape. he listens to this while arguing with himself about nietzsche and sticking evidence photos in pretty collages on the wall <3

without further ado... Sparks Austin recap
I wonât elaborate but the two days of travel to get here were very exhausting and trying. I rolled up to the venue, prepared to maybe sit during some songs and nurse a Diet Coke.Â
I had never been to Austin before and boy, is it a music oriented city. Not just the venues but the people, the culture. There were multiple fans in Hippo tour shirts, a fully cosplayed Cate Blanchett, and lots of women in beautiful dresses. The Moody Centerâs hallway had snapshots of all the cool people that had played there. I love venues with history!
I was worried that the venue set up would be annoying or awkward but I got to my front row seat and I was 4 feet from the stage, just off to the left of Ronâs piano - the perfect view.
The show started... a lot of U.S. venues had audiences who mostly sat and then got up during MTCYDT but the two thirty something hipster dudes behind me stood the whole time so I got to stand and dance :) And a good chunk of the crowd on the left stayed standing too! I was drenched with sweat maybe 4 songs in and it was amazing. All my tiredness and stress melted away as I was loudly singing and dancing.
This crowd was electric, so loud and responsive and to the Latte cuts too! Not just the hits! People were going crazy for TGICIHL in a way that Milwaukee was more subdued about. Russell smiled at me really big early in the show, probably because I knew the words and was loud and enthusiastic. I got a cute SMWS Russell tummy jump video which I will post later.
During Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is, I obviously knew the way Russell sashayed and waved his arm back and forth during the chorus from other shows and was mimicking him. He locked eyes with me and we did the hand punctuating thing at each other during that TWICE.
I am a âwooâer I will freely admit that and so I am constantly obnoxiously screaming and clapping and just being super loud. So I obviously was screaming my head off when Ron got up for Shopping Mall Of Love. During the second chorus he looked DIRECTLY at me and went âyeah ââ I will post video later but I was shakinggggggg.
There were lots of loud applause breaks and late-ish in the show (canât remember when), Ron looked directly at me again and mouthed âthank youâ. Like no thank YOUUUUUUUU KING!
I know Russell bounces around a lot on stage, HOWEVER, the way this stage was set up, it was probably a bit harder to get to our side of the stage, but he came over a lot anyway and I have to think it was partially because of me because he seemed to almost be finding excuses to come dance with us even when he was about to have to start singing again đ€
Eli dancing and feeling the music was so slay I love that short king jfdgkjrfkjg
Iâm not sure how or why Russell would ever EVER feel self conscious about his tummy.... I was lucky to get it captured during SMWS... during MTYCTD though he danced over and it was too fast for me to get filmed but I basically was 4 feet from the man and watched his tummy bounce out from under his t-shirt for a good 5-7 seconds... mesmerized is the most polite way to put how I felt in that moment but oh my fucking god đ”âđ«đ”âđ«đ”âđ« [redacted] [censored] [an oncoming train whistle obscures what iâm about to say] but suffice it to say [meme voice] I think I hauve covid...
And the open collar and sweat obviously..... yeah.
As I divulged to a few of you and was encouraged by @jefffreybeaumont, the plan was to make a sign that says âYOUâRE MUCH HOTTER THAN THE GALLAGHER BROTHERSâ because in interviews theyâre always being asked how they donât fight like the Gallaghers or the Davies. The secret spice was typing it out in Barbie font. I somehow managed to not get it wrinkled in my over 1000 mile 2 day voyage and held it up during the shuffle. I donât think Russell could read it because he was farther away but during the shuffle I held it up. It was hard to tell Ronâs reaction because I was multitasking but I watched later and sent it to @rhythmthlef and she says his face showed âbemused self effacementâ fdkjgkldjsfkg.Â
Something Iâd stupidly personally worried about for ages was that Ron and Russell didnât care about the U.S. as much - the U.K. has always embraced them and Iâd worried that they didnât think of these shows as special or meaningful because radio stations here donât give them the time of day and they donât always sell out. Since Chicago, I donât worry about that anymore. Their faces shine with excitement, pride, and pure joy at EVERY SHOW. Theyâve gotten more fans since TSB and opportunities that they wouldnât have gotten ten years ago, even in the U.S. I mean, NPR Tiny Desk! Wow. Russell was emphasizing that the feelings of the shows âdonât go away when we go to the next cityâ and I could tell that he really meant it.Â
Eli came out for the encore in the bucket hat and a red Southern style bandana - very cute. The man who took the photo handed Russell his cowboy hat beforehand and Russell says, âOh yeah, my hat.â He then proceeds to put it on, smirk confidently at the audience, and say, âWhatâs up, yall? You from these parts?âWHAT IS WRONG W HIMMMMMMMM GFHJDKJGFKLDSJFKDS CALIFORNIA DOOFUS!!! And I fought for my life squeezing into the pic but Iâm in there! Right behind the keyboard!
The pic is taken and I know my chance is now. I start screaming for Ron (who was a bit closer to me) but he doesnât hear me. I then start screaming at the top of my lungs âRUSSELL!!! I HAVE A LETTER!! RUSSELL!!â and after about 7 times he hears and sees me and meanders over and takes the letter and 2 rainbow Sparks logo acrylic pins (the ones I sold to some of yall a couple months ago)! Iâm not sure if theyâll wear the pins but I had to try. I do hope they read the letter - they really do mean everything to me. I was unsure that Iâd get their attention at all, so I didnât get the moment I handed it on film, but I do have a video of Russell holding and then glancing down at the letter. They were leaving the stage and Russell stopped to hold hands with multiple people on his way offstage.
I stood there for a minute, very emotional, then made my way out. As I left, a security guard off to the side went âHey, you sang all night man, that was great.â and I just replied âTheyâre my favorite band, youâve gotta be passionate, yâknow, thanks!â Even non fans know Iâm a real one kgcjkgjfdkjgfd.
My Lyft driver was super sweet and chatty and I rode back to my hotel feeling like I was floating on a cloud.
Random sidenotes: A) They cut âToughest Girl In Townâ which I didnât realize til later - Iâm sure theyâre getting tired near the end of the tour B) Eli is truly such a talented guitarist? He slayed the Bon Voyage solo. He was right in front of me so I really got to see him shine (in my brief moments not zeroed in on Ron and Russell) but obviously the whole band is amazing C) I sent Alissa snaps of me during Beaver OâLindy and they said âYouâre almost singing louder than Russell isâ kdgfjkdjkg D) This was the one time I didnât cry during It Doesnât Have To Be That Way because I was sweating so much that [Lucille Bluth voice] I couldnât spare the moisture E) I will share a few videos but I swear my singing is horrendous and embarrassing so just the key moments jfdgjfi F) I used almost 10GB of memory on photos and videos...
The plan is to get a Sparks tattoo within the year. Iâve gotta do it. They are so special to me. Iâve been into bands before and I donât regret any of it but this feels different and special. This truly feels like where I belong as a fan and a person and as someone who has always felt strange and awkward and out of place. But thereâs one place and one song and thatâs Sparks.
SparksTour forever âš

Lenny White â Venusian Summer
âAn in-demand drummer of jazzâs sixth wave, Lenny White cut his teeth with Jackie McLean before hooking up with Miles Davis in 1970 and inventing the future of the genre. Credits on Davisâs Bitches Brew, Santanaâs Caravanserai, and Chick Coreaâs Where Have I Known You Before led to a deal with Nemporer Records in 1975, where White cut two monuments of progressive jazz: Venutian Summer and Big City.
Issued in 1975, Venusian Summer deceives as a spaced-out funk LP for the first eight minutes, replete with slap bass, wandering clavinet, ARP solos, freaked out guitar noodling, and chunky drum breaks. In the center is the two part âVenusian Summer Suite,â a moody drone that cuts open a hidden vein of street classical, with an endless Hubert Laws flute solo to boot. From another planet, for sure.â â Bandcamp.
âThis is a must-have fusion recording.â â Robert Taylor/AllMusic.

LĂGENDES DU JAZZ
JAMES MOODY, UN SAXOPHONISTE MĂCONNU âIâve always wanted to be around people who know more than me, because that way I keep learning.â
- James Moody
Né le 26 mars 1925 à Savannah, en Georgie, James Moody était le fils de James Moody et Ruby Hann Watters. James, qui avait aussi un frÚre, Louis, a été élevé par sa mÚre. Moody a grandi à Newark, au New Jersey.
Issu dâune famille de musiciens, Moody avait commencĂ© Ă sâintĂ©resser au jazz aprĂšs avoir entendu son pĂšre jouer de la trompette avec le groupe de Tiny Bradshaw. LâintĂ©rĂȘt de Moody pour la musique ne datait pas dâhier. Il expliquait: "When I was a kid [my mother] had a washing machine outside of the house that would go 'arookata-arookata.' She said I used to stand by and dance to the washing machine."
Ă lâĂąge de seize ans, lâoncle de Moody lui avait fait cadeau dâun saxophone alto en argent.
Moody avait adoptĂ© le saxophone tĂ©nor aprĂšs avoir assistĂ© Ă un concert de lâorchestre de Count Basie Ă lâAdams Theater de Newark, auquel avaient participĂ© des saxophonistes comme ââBuddyââ George Holmes Tate et Don Byas. Les saxophonistes Lester Young et Coleman Hawkins avaient Ă©galement eu une grande influence sur son jeu.
Moody, qui jouait aussi de la flĂ»te et du saxophone soprano Ă lâoccasion, a Ă©tudiĂ© la composition avec Dizzy Gillespie, la composition et la thĂ©orie musicale avec Tom McIntosh, et la thĂ©orie musicale avec Michael Longo. DĂBUTS DE CARRIĂRE En 1943, Moody Ă©tait entrĂ© dans lâarmĂ©e de lâAir et avait jouĂ© avec le groupe de couleur (âânegro bandââ) du Greenboro Training Center. AprĂšs sa dĂ©mobilisation en 1946, Moody avait jouĂ© du bebop avec Dizzy Gillespie durant deux ans. Lorsque Moody sâĂ©tait joint au groupe de Gillespie, il se produisait avec un groupe non autorisĂ© appelĂ© le ââNegro Air Force Bandââ, qui Ă©tait dirigĂ© par le trompettiste Dave Burns, qui avait plus tard avec le big band de Gillespie, puis avec le groupe de Moody au milieu des annĂ©es 1950. Moody et Burns avaient Ă©tĂ© Ă©blouis lorsquâils avaient entendu Gillespie donner un concert sur la base militaire de Greensboro, en Caroline du Nord. Lors dâun entretien avec Gillespie, les deux hommes avaient informĂ© le trompettiste quâils seraient bientĂŽt dĂ©mobilisĂ©s. Dizzy avait alors invitĂ© Moody et Burns Ă venir passer une audition Ă New York. AprĂšs avoir ratĂ© une premiĂšre audition, Moody sâĂ©tait joint au big band tout-Ă©toile de Gillespie en 1946.
En faisant partie du groupe de Dizzy, Moody avait une chance en or dâobtenir une visibilitĂ© internationale et de sâĂ©tablir comme un improvisateur majeur. Moody se trouvait en bonne compagnie, puisquâil partageait la vedette avec le vibraphoniste Milt Jackson,  le pianiste Thelonious Monk, et le trompettiste Miles Davis, le contrebassiste Ray Brown et le batteur Kenny Clarke. Lors de son premier enregistrement avec lâorchestre, Moody sâĂ©tait dâailleurs Ă©tabli comme soliste en interprĂ©tant une magnifique version de la piĂšce ââEmanon.ââ Comme le mentionnait le saxophoniste Jimmy Heath, "Moody's 'Emanon' solo was very exciting to all the saxophone players around Philadelphia. It was very different than any blues solo that you had heard. He had the bebop sound." La carriĂšre de Moody Ă©tait lancĂ©e. Un an plus tard, il avait enregistrĂ©Â avec Milt Jackson.
En 1948, Moody avait dirigeĂ©Â la premiĂšre session dâenregistrement de sa carriĂšre pour les disques Blue Note. Lors de cette session, Moody avait jouĂ©Â Ă la fois du saxophone et de la flĂ»te. Parmi les musiciens qui avaient accompagnĂ© Moody lors de lâenregistrement, on remarquait plusieurs des collaborateurs du big band de Gillespie. Lâalbum avait Ă©tĂ© sous le titre Ă©loquent de ââJames Moody and His Bebop Men.ââ UN SUCCĂS INESPĂRĂ LâannĂ©e suivante, dĂ©couragĂ© par le racisme qui prĂ©valait aux Ătats-Unis, Moody avait dĂ©cidĂ©Â de sâinstaller en Europe, plus particuliĂšrement Ă Paris, oĂč il Ă©tait demeurĂ© durant trois ans. Ă Paris, Moody vivait avec son oncle, qui lâavait aidĂ©Â Ă se dĂ©barrasser de sa dĂ©pendance envers lâalcool.
Lors son sĂ©jour en Europe, Moody avait souvent jouĂ© avec des musiciens amĂ©ricains de passage, comme Tadd Dameron et Miles Davis. Il avait Ă©galement fait des tournĂ©es en France, en Scandinavie et en Suisse, oĂč il avait enregistrĂ©Â avec Miles Davis et Kenny Clarke.
Câest son sĂ©jour en Europe qui avait convaincu Moody dâajouter le saxophone alto Ă son arsenal. Moody Ă©tait en SuĂšde lorsquâil avait enregistrĂ© en octobre 1949 sa cĂ©lĂšbre improvisation intitulĂ©e ââIâm in the Mood for Loveââ, sur laquelle il jouait du saxophone alto plutĂŽt que du tĂ©nor. CâĂ©tait dâailleurs la premiĂšre fois de sa carriĂšre que Moody jouait du saxophone alto professionnellement. La pianiste Gosta Theselius, qui avait Ă©crit les arrangements, avait conçu les harmonies de la piĂšce lorsquâelle se trouvait dans la salle de bain !
La piĂšce ââIâm in the Mood for Loveââ avait changĂ© la vie de Moody et avait prĂ©parĂ© son retour aux Ătats-Unis. En 1954, la piĂšce avait connu un regain de popularitĂ© lorsque le chanteur King Pleasure en avait enregistrĂ© une version chantĂ©e sur des paroles Ă©crites par Eddie Jefferson. La chanson Ă©tait vite devenue un classique et avait Ă©tĂ© reprise par plusieurs chanteurs et chanteuses: Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Van Morrison et mĂȘme Amy Winehouse.
De fait, la chanson avait obtenu un tel succĂšs que pendant le reste de la carriĂšre de Moody, la version chantĂ©e de la piĂšce, connue sous le titre de ââMoodyâs Mood for Loveââ, Ă©tait devenue plus populaire que lâoriginal. Toujours aussi courtois et avenant, Moody se faisait un plaisir dâaccĂ©der Ă la demande des amateurs en interprĂ©tant lui-mĂȘme la chanson en concert.
Le sĂ©jour de Moody sur le continent lâavait Ă©tabli comme artiste Ă part entiĂšre. Il avait mĂȘme contribuĂ© au dĂ©veloppement du jazz europĂ©en lors de son sĂ©jour. En 1952, Moody avait finalement dĂ©cidĂ© de retourner aux Ătats-Unis afin de jouer et dâenregistrer avec des groupes comprenant des musiciens comme Pee Wee Moore entre autres. Il avait aussi collaborĂ© avec dâautres saxophonistes, comme Gene Ammons et Sonny Stitt, avec lesquels il avait formĂ©Â un groupe composĂ© de trois saxophonistes tĂ©nor. Ă la mĂȘme Ă©poque, Moody avait Ă©galement accompagnĂ© le chanteur Brook Benton et la chanteuse Dinah Washington.
Peu aprĂšs son arrivĂ©e aux Ătats-Unis, Moody avait formĂ© un septet qui fusionnait le jazz et le R & B. Eddie Jefferson Ă©tait le chanteur du groupe. En 1956, le septet de Moody avait enregistrĂ© lâalbum ââFlute ân the Bluesââ sur Ă©tiquette Argo Records. Il sâagissait du premier enregistrement de Moody comme flĂ»tiste. Moody prĂ©cisait: "I never really studied the flute, although I had help from many beautiful people. So I just got a flute and started 'spittin' into it not knowing what I was doing. The fingerings, some of them, seemed similar to saxophone, and I just blew like that and that's how I started."
CâĂ©tait aussi la premiĂšre fois de la carriĂšre de Moody quâil utilisait trois instruments sur un album: le saxophone alto, le saxophone tĂ©nor et la flĂ»te. Lâalbum comprenait le succĂšs ââBooâs Tuneââ qui fut plus tard repris par Ray Charles.
Le 24 juillet 1955, Moody avait participĂ©Â avec son orchestre Ă la 11e Ă©dition de la Cavalcade du Jazz qui avait lieu au stade Wrigley Field de Los Angeles. Le concert, qui Ă©tait produit par Leon Hefflin Sr., mettait Ă©galement en vedette Big Jay McNeely, lâorchestre de Lionel Hampton, The Medallions et The Penguins.
MĂȘme sâil avait enregistrĂ© plusieurs albums remarquables pour les disques Argo, Moody supportait plutĂŽt difficilement les longues tournĂ©es et les pressions constantes de la vie de musicien itinĂ©rant. Finalement, Moody Ă©tait de nouveau retombĂ© dans lâalcool aprĂšs quâun incendie survenu Ă Philadelphie ait emportĂ© tous les instruments, les costumes et les arrangements du groupe. DĂ©terminĂ© Ă ne pas laisser lâalcool dĂ©truire sa carriĂšre, Moody sâĂ©tait fait admettre volontairement Ă lâOverbrook Hospital de Cedar Grove au New Jersey, une institution spĂ©cialisĂ©e dans le traitement des maladies mentales. Moody avait passĂ© six mois Ă Overbrook. Une fois libĂ©rĂ©, Moody sâĂ©tait installĂ© Ă Chicago oĂč il avait enregistrĂ©Â un album largement influencĂ© par le blues et intitulĂ© ââLast Train from Overbrookââ dans lequel il dĂ©montrait ses progrĂšs et sa virtuositĂ© comme flĂ»tiste.
Des dĂ©cennies aprĂšs la crĂ©ation du bebop, le style musical de Moody avait continuĂ©Â dâĂ©voluer. Il avait mĂȘme fait une incursion dans le free jazz. Le saxophoniste Jimmy Heath expliquait: "Over the years, Moody has become so free-- not in a random fashion, but a scientific freedom-- that he can do anything he wants with the saxophone.... He has true knowledge. He is in complete control," En 1963, Moody Ă©tait retournĂ© Ă ses anciennes amours et avait pris la relĂšve de Leo Wright comme saxophoniste et flĂ»tiste du groupe de Dizzy Gillespie avec lequel il Ă©tait demeurĂ©Â jusquâen 1971. Moody avait travaillĂ©Â plus tard avec Mike Longo. Câest lors de son sĂ©jour avec le groupe de Gillespie, dont il Ă©tait un des plus fervents admirateurs, que Moody avait rencontrĂ©Â ses futurs collaborateurs Kenny Barron et Lee Spann.
En 1975, Moody, avec une femme et une fille Ă sa charge, avait dĂ©cidĂ©Â de laisser tomber lâexistence instable de musicien de cabaret et de partir Ă la recherche de revenus plus rĂ©guliers. Moody sâĂ©tait donc installĂ© Ă Las Vegas oĂč il avait jouĂ©Â durant sept ans avec le Las Vegas Hilton Orchestra, accompagnant des vedettes comme Elvis Presley, Ann-Margaret, les Osmonds, Lou Rawls, Bill Cosby et Liberace. Dans une entrevue accordĂ©e au Saxophone Journal en 1998, Moody avait expliquĂ©Â pourquoi il avait choisi de dâĂ©tablir Ă Las Vegas:
âThe reason I went to Las Vegas was because I was married and had a daughter and I wanted to grow up with my kid. I was married before and I didnât grow up with the kids. So I said, âIâm going to really be a father.â I did much better with this one because at least I stayed until my daughter was 12 years old. And thatâs why I worked Vegas, because I could stay in one spot.â De retour Ă New York en 1979, Moody avait formĂ©Â son propre quintet. La carriĂšre de Moody avait connu un nouveau souffle lorsquâil avait remportĂ©Â en 1985 un prix Grammy pour sa participation Ă lâalbum ââVocaleseââ du groupe Manhattan Transfer dans la catĂ©gorie de la meilleure performance instrumentale en jazz. Lâobtention de ce prix Grammy avait relancĂ© la carriĂšre dâenregistrement de Moody qui avait fait ses dĂ©buts lâannĂ©e suivante sur Ă©tiquette RCA avec la parution de lâalbum ââSomething Special.ââ Cet album avait Ă©tĂ© suivi de ââMoving Forwardââ, dans lequel Moody avait dĂ©montrĂ©Â ses talents de chanteur sur la piĂšce ââWhat Do You Doââ et de flĂ»tiste sur le classique ââGiant Stepsââ de John Coltrane. Son album de 1989, intitulĂ© ââSweet and Lovelyââ, Ă©tait dĂ©dicacĂ© Ă son Ă©pouse Linda, quâil avait Ă©pousĂ© en avril de la mĂȘme annĂ©e. Câest dâailleurs Dizzy Gillespie lui-mĂȘme qui avait jouĂ©Â de la trompette lors de la cĂ©rĂ©monie.
En 1989, Moody sâĂ©tait installĂ©Â Ă San Diego, oĂč il avait travaillĂ©Â comme soliste et membre de groupes tout-Ă©toile. Au cours des annĂ©es 1990, Moody avait de nouveau fait Ă©quipe avec Gillespie (cette fois comme membre de lâUnited Nations Orchestra) dans le cadre dâune tournĂ©e de lâEurope et des Ătats-Unis. Durant ce laps de temps, Moody avait continuĂ© dâexpĂ©rimenter et de sâadapter aux derniers dĂ©veloppements du jazz. Il avait mĂȘme fait des enregistrements avec des cordes et des synthĂ©tiseurs. Grand pĂ©dagogue, Moody donnait Ă©galement des cours et des ateliers dans les collĂšges et les universitĂ©s.
En 1995, les disques Telarc avaient publiĂ© ââMoodyâs Partyââ, un album live enregistrĂ© Ă lâoccasion du 70e anniversaire de naissance du saxophoniste. En avril 1996, Moody avait enregistrĂ©Â son premier album sur Ă©tiquette Warner Bros intitulĂ© ââYoung at Heartââ, sur lequel il avait repris des chansons traditionnellement associĂ©es Ă Frank Sinatra. En 1997, Moody avait aussi rendu hommage au compositeur Henry Mancini sur son album ââMoody Plays Mancini.ââ DERNIĂRES ANNĂES ET DĂCĂS En 1997, Moody avait fait une brĂšve incursion au cinĂ©ma en interprĂ©tant le rĂŽle de William Glover dans le film de Clint Eastwood ââMidnight in the Garden of Good and Evilââ, une adaptation dâun roman de John Berendt.
Dans un entrevue accordĂ©e en 1998 Ă Bob Bernotas, Moody avait dĂ©clarĂ© quâil croyait que le jazz avait une rĂ©sonance spirituelle.
Moody avait passĂ©Â les derniĂšres annĂ©es de sa carriĂšre Ă jouer avec un quartet formĂ© de la pianiste Renee Rosnes, du contrebassiste Todd Coolman et du batteur Adam Nussbaum. Il jouait aussi rĂ©guliĂšrement avec les Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars et le Dizzy Gillespie Gillespie All-Star Big Band, en plus de collaborer frĂ©quemment avec le trompettiste, compositeur et chef dâorchestre Jon Faddis. En 2007, Moody et Faddis avaient tous les deux travaillĂ© avec le WDR Big Band Ă Cologne en Allemagne sous la direction de Michael Abene. Toujours avec Faddis, Moody Ă©tait parti en tournĂ©e avec le Philip Morris Superband qui comprenait comme artistes invitĂ©s des musiciens comme Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell, Gradu Tate et Barbara Morrison. Faisaient Ă©galement partie de la formation le contrebassiste Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, le saxophoniste Jimmy Heath, le batteur Kenny Washington, le joueur de trombone Slide Hampton et le pianiste Monty Alexander. La tournĂ©e dâune durĂ©e dâun mois comprenait dix-huit concerts et avait dĂ©butĂ© le 3 septembre 1986 Ă Perth en Australie. Le Canada, le Japon et les Philippines faisaient Ă©galement partie de lâitinĂ©raire. Le Philip Morris Superband avait Ă©tĂ© fondĂ© en 1985.
James Moody sâest mariĂ© Ă trois reprises. Les deux premiers sâĂ©taient terminĂ©s par un divorce. En 1989, Moody avait Ă©pousĂ© en troisiĂšmes noces Linda Petersen McGowan. Moody avait une fille, Michelle Moody Bagdanove, et trois beau-fils (via son mariage avec Linda), Regan, Danny et Patrick McGowan. Moody rĂ©sidait avec sa femme Ă San Diego.
Sur le plan religieux, Moody Ă©tait un adepte de la Bahaâi Faith, une religion de type humaniste qui intĂ©grait les concepts de base des principales religions mondiales. En 2005, Moody et son Ă©pouse avaient Ă©tabli le Moody Scholarship Fund, une bourse dâĂ©tudes qui est dĂ©cernĂ©e annuellement aux Ă©tudiants les plus mĂ©ritants du conservatoire de musique du Purchase College-State University of New York. Moody avait dâailleurs souvent participĂ© Ă des programmes Ă©ducatifs, notamment pour le compte de lâInternational Association for Jazz Education (IAJE).
Le 2 novembre 2010, lâĂ©pouse de Moody, Linda Petersen, avait dĂ©clarĂ© en son nom quâil Ă©tait atteint dâun cancer au pancrĂ©as et quâil avait dĂ©cidĂ© de partir en douceur, sans avoir recours Ă la chimiothĂ©rapie ou Ă dâautres traitements agressifs du mĂȘme genre. AprĂšs avoir reçu les soins paliatifs, Moody est mort Ă San Diego le 9 dĂ©cembre 2010, Ă la suite de complications consĂ©cutives Ă son cancer. Il Ă©tait ĂągĂ© de quatre-vingt-cinq ans.
Ont survécu à Moody son épouse Linda, sa fille Michelle Moody Bagdanove, ses trois trois beaux-fils Patrick, Regan et Danny McGowan, son frÚre Louis, quatre petits-enfants et un arriÚre-petit-fils.
James Moody avait remportĂ©Â plusieurs prix et rĂ©compenses au cours de sa longue carriĂšre. Deux mois aprĂšs sa mort, on lui avait dĂ©cernĂ©Â un prix Grammy dans la catĂ©gorie du meilleur album instrumental de jazz pour son disque ââMoody 4B.ââ En 1998, le National Endowment of the Arts lui avait dĂ©cernĂ© un Jazz Masters Fellowship Award, le plus important honneur pouvant ĂȘtre dĂ©cernĂ© Ă un musicien de jazz aux Ătats-Unis.
Le New Jersey Performing Arts Center a fondĂ© un festival en lâhonneur du saxophoniste, le James Moody Democraty of Jazz Festival. Moody Ă©tait laussi laurĂ©at de deux doctorats honorifiques du Florida Memorial College et du Berklee College of Music. En 2010, la carriĂšre de Moody avait Ă©tĂ© couronnĂ©e par la remise du Jazz Journsalists Award for Litetime Achievement in Jazz.
Homme charmant et plein dâesprit, Moody avait toujours Ă©tĂ© trĂšs apprĂ©ciĂ© du public. Au cours de sa longue carriĂšre, James Moody avait participĂ© Ă plus de quatre-vingt-dix enregistrements.
La curiositĂ© toujours en Ă©veil, James Moody avait toujours vu son Ă©ducation musicale comme un ââwork in progress.ââ Il expliquait: âIâve always wanted to be around people who know more than me, because that way I keep learning.â
Le critique du New York Times, Peter Watrous, avait un jour Ă©crit au sujet de Moody: âAs a musical explorer, performer, collaborator and composer he has made an indelible contribution to the rise of American music as the dominant musical force of the twentieth century.â ©-2023-2024, tous droits rĂ©servĂ©s, Les Productions de lâImaginaire historique SOURCES: ââJames Moody.ââ Wikipedia, 2022. ââJames Moody.ââ National Endowment of the Arts, 2023.

Week 4 - 36 Photos (Ruby)
Alongside my friend Zoe, I also took photos of my friend Ruby for my week 4 photos. I wanted to play around with the greenery in Albert Park during golden hour. To play with shadows, highlights and patterns. I also decided to play around with the texture of the trees to create interesting patterns. I really enjoyed the overall vibes of these shots because they were chilled but slightly moody, full of contrast and vibrant green. I struggled at first with the amount of available light but was able to adjust my settings to allow for good exposure and a dynamic range. I chose Albert Park as it is a place Ruby and I spend a lot of time in, and I knew she would feel comfortable in this setting. I also felt the setting contrasted well with her outfit and hair colour.
The first photo feels out of a resort advertisement, from the overhead lighting and palm-like tree in the back. Alongside this, it has a cool effect, with the hand over one eye leaving a shadow. I do feel this photo doesn't have the best focus or dynamic range, but I really like the overall effect, so I thought I would include it in my favourites. The second is fun, expressive with the hands and a fun use of framing via the elbows and grass.
These photos were inspired by the photo by Anton Corbijn of Miles Davis. The way the photo is intimate and moody due to the direct eye contact. The hands and shadows are also used as a frame. The way shadows accentuate the moodiness of the photo and create contrast. And an interesting dynamic range.
I found a spot in the park that created a dappled effect, which I thought would be a fun way to play with the light. Since it was a golden hour when the light got there, it was direct and concentrated. I love the colours produced in this photo and the texture/patterns. In the second photo, I also played with using her hands to express emotion and frame the photo. It created a moody, editorial effect. It works well with the direction of the light, almost like the light is blinding her.
I like the final image as well; it is intimate, up close, personal, and kind of weird. I like the direct eye contact and the flow of her neck to her head, which is accentuated by the subject filling the frame well. For these shots, I drew inspiration from the photo I found of Caroline Mackintosh. I played with the dappling effect through plants and direct sunlight onto the face.
I like how soft the light is in this photo, which works well with her expression and body language. I like the way the light hits the back of her head. I feel as though the framing could be slightly better, as there is a lot of space at the top.

Johnny Coles: The Unsung Hero of Jazz Trumpet
Introduction: In the annals of jazz history, certain names resonate with an almost mythical aura. Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Louis Armstrong are among those whose contributions are celebrated widely. Yet, the world of jazz is also rich with artists who, while perhaps not achieving the same level of fame, have nonetheless left an indelible mark on the genre. One such artist is JohnnyâŠ

Side-Project: Making a Magazine Cover
For part of my artist's social media page, I wanted to make a couple of references to Massive Attack and trip-hop artists and promotional material within the content of my posts. After doing a bit of research into some older Massive Attack promotional and commercial content, I found a few magazine covers of theirs that I thought might be a fun project to embark on.
I found the above cover and thought, given that I didn't feel I had terribly proficient photoshop skills, it would be a relatively straightforward and simple process in order to create it.
I also had a few ideas already in terms of titles, billings and general features of the cover. I wanted to call it Nimbus magazine, and include a few small references to my friends and interests. I also wanted to replicate the sub title of the cover I used for inspiration, which references jazz trumpeter Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue. I decided I was going to use the title 'giant steps' on mine, referencing both John Coltrane's jazz album, as well as my star's rising to fame and 'giant steps' in the musical industry.
The first thing I did was research a few fonts online, and pulled a few that I wanted to use. The main title uses the font 'Akira Expanded', while the title of my artist uses the 'Anarchy' font. It was a fun process to go through, but after I had made the cover, the next thing to do was to complete a photoshoot with my artist.
I had a very quick and simple photoshoot using my phone, and with my artist against a blank wall took a few photos. I wanted my artist to appear to be the image of an educated rulebreaker, conforming to trip-hop conventions of grunge and moodiness, but adding a distinctly unique look to my artist. As opposed to other artists on the fringe of rock and hip-hop who may be a little bit more boisterous and anarchistic, I wanted to sculpt my artist as a figure who, despite his undeniably intimidating music video and image, appears calm, intelligent and even a bit enigmatic, all things of which I feel accentuate the nuance of the artist's image I was creating.
I then put them into photoshop and began to alter the photo itself a bit. I put a black and white filter on the photo, and changed the colour of the text so it would better assimilate with the pic and I was done! I posted it on my social media and got back to work on the rest of the page.
To Conclude
Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project. I was able to develop my photoshop skills further, something which will surely be of help in the future, and created a nice looking post for my artists' social media page that not only bears relation to and references my chosen genre, but also serves as a fitting and seamless addition to the image of the artist I want to create.
