Is Peas and Rice the Jamaican meaning (beans and rice)?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 7:44pm

I'm not sure. I always assumed it was a soul food thing, but it's possible it came from the West Indies, i.e. pigeon peas and rice

Based on 'This Train Is Bound For Glory', so gospel roots it is!

There's an elderly Jamaican couple that makes amazing Jamaican cuisine in the ghetto here for a good price (and it's the real thing, and make their own scotch bonnet hot sauce (if you ask), like I remember from Bed-Stuy). 8 blocks away in the trendy student district, there's an expensive "Reggae Shack" that is.... meh....

I like heat, but only so much as it enhances flavor. We eat Vietnamese, Thai, Korean all the time and I try to cook spicy here at home but never too much. My fave hot sauce is still green Tabasco.

If it's too much it kind of burns the flavor out of things.

I'm at the point, I rub my eyes after cutting ghosts, it's just annoying to me.

Ghosts have a good complex, almost citrusy flavor, Carolina reapers are nothing but pure heat, w/o much flavor. I usually mix in jalapenos and my poblanos to make a more flavorful salsa....

There aren't necessarily female dominated instruments, though there may be, but Hammond celebrities of the XY persuasion easily outnumber the XX.

That, I take it, is sorta the point.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:15pm
Funky16Corners:

In jazz especially during the classic era, 40s/50s/60s there weren't a lot of female players that got the kind of shine they deserved. I can't think of a single well known bebop or hard bop player. You have Mary Lou Williams and Melba Liston early on, but in the 60s you started to see women moving into the forefront in jazz for the first time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:16pm
coelacanth∅:

i have a recording of Leadbelly explaining why he sang smutty songs in the early days of his career it was because the piano was a females' instrument and he "didn't want the feminine thing on" so the smuttiness was to counter any ideas that he wasn't manly.

Pianos as a female instrument. I guess because prior to recorded music, daughters were expected to play piano for the household?

Dean:

Earlier today I read a review of a mass by Josquin (and others) based on a 14thC French folk song with filthy lyrics. The reviewer--who knows his shit--suggests Renaissance composers made this kind of "juxtaposition [of] holy texts and those expressing earthy humor to envision the range of celestial creation."

He won a scholarship to Berklee when he was young, living in New Zealand. I think he joined Woody's band not long after graduation, but it's hard finding albums on which he plays. His arrangements are easier to locate.
