Music of all kinds that hits me in the pit of my stomach, all arranged to find your sweet spot, too. Plus radio shows from the 1940s & 1950s: dramas, mysteries, sci-fi, detectives, and more.

What you'll hear here is a record of one of the most extraordinary & special performances I have ever attended - the week-long series of performances of "Dorian Blues In G" at The Kitchen, from January 9 to January 17, 1993. This performance is from January 14. The players: La Monte Young on specially tuned Korg synthesizer, Jon Catler on just intonation & fretless guitar, his brother Brad on electric just intonation & fretless bass, and Jonathan Kane on drums. Marian Zazeela, La Monte's wife, did the lights. "Dorian Blues In G" is a raga-influenced, microtonally tuned roadhouse blues rock 122 minute piece of beautiful, extraordinary - and sensual and sexy - music. La Monte Young has always loved the blues but, as he told me a few weeks before these performances, he felt the blues had long since become tired and bound by cliches. He wanted to shatter these...straightjackets and, in so doing, reinvent the blues. Listen to how he and his band did just that. |
