Asha Puthli - Space Talk (1976)
Super fine, this thing... like a spaced-out and thoroughly-funkified Kate Bush!!!
Béla Bartók at the piano Sonatina
Today's Classical Corner... Bartok's Sonatina.
A piece for solo piano, written in 1915, by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
Initially
entitled Sonatina on Romanian folk tunes, it is based on folk tunes he
collected in his neighbouring country Romania, which, even though he
proclaimed Hungarian folk music was clearly superior, was a direct
source of inspiration all along his active years.

Reckoner - Radiohead (1080p)
"The funny thing was that to be honest the guitar on it was really
influenced by... I went to see the Chili Peppers a few times and I
really like the way John Frusciante plays. And uh... it was sort of a
homage to that, in my sort of clunky ‘can't–really-pick' kind of way."
- Mr. Yorke
Max Roach Trio - Hope So Elmo
Today's Classic Jazz Corner... Hasaan.
Amazingly, this Max Roach Trio release, recorded in 1964, and featuring pianist/composer Hasaan Ibn Ali, represents the sole recording ever which exhibits Hasaan Ibn Ali's virtuosity - very advanced and unique style that fell somewhere between Thelonious Monk and Cecil Taylor.
Just listen to this, and you'll see where it travels, and takes you along with it. :)
