Jedd Beaudoin speaks with pianist Larry Goldings today on the latest edition of the NPR/KMUW podcast Into Music.
Larry, along with trumpeter John Sneider (his friend of thirty plus years) has recently released the duo's first collaborative jazz album 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘸𝘢𝘨, available now!
"Defiant self-assurance... infectious energy. Embodies 1970s vibes mixed with contemporary indie rock, led by carpenter/musician David Boone."
I haven't tagged Alberta & The Dead Eyes, because Dave is smarter than the rest of us by not being on social media. Thanks to B-Side Guys for the thoughtful words, however!
𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘖𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 by Alberta & The Dead Eyes is out now. Click for your life!
V13 on AZALiA SNAiL's all-instrumental new album 𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘙, arriving this Friday via Cloud Recordings: "It would only be an artist as unique and original as Azalia Snail to come up with an album that says so much, without saying anything at all."
See the video for "Don't Get Too Close To Me" now. Order a copy of the limited-edition cassette here.
"At the heart of it lies a groove that resembles the steps of a reptile crawling out of the Sun and into the shade."
Thanks to Alt77 for the kind words about "So Cool," the lead cut on the just-released new album 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘖𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 by Alberta & The Dead Eyes (which is mostly Dave Boone & Dave Boone).
The man knows his way around a jam. Listen at the link!
Thirty years of friendship has resulted in the first duo album from Grammy®-nominated pianist Larry Goldings and trumpeter John Sneider.

"Brings together a glam sensibility with an indie rock cool... makes you want to soak up the night and see what’s out there." — Glide Magazine

It is quite an honor to work with a legend!
I first encountered AZALiA SNAiL half a lifetime ago when Sub Pop released her "Staying Inside/Supposing Song" 7-inch in 1994.
On April 5, AZALiA will release her 15th album, the all-instrumental concept record 𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘙, via Cloud Recordings (Circulatory System, Tall Dwarfs).
Hear the first single "Zap You of That Hate" (feat. Alan Sparhawk of Low) now.
The title track from the debut solo album by Gina Volpe (founding member of NYC's Lunachicks) is here now. Hear "Delete The World" over at New Noise! The mag says the track “fuses a nostalgic-sounding late 90s/early 2000s hard rock sound brushing along the pop spectrum in part to Volpe’s trademark crunching riffs over her melodic vocals.”
Click for your life, and pre-save the album here before its release this Friday, February 23.
The title track from the all-new Dan Bern album 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 is out today! Many thanks to Rock and Roll Globe for the premiere on this one.
"For nearly 30 years, Dan Bern has established himself as a true songwriter’s songwriter whose ability to transform thoughts and observations into poetry is unparalleled."
Listen here and at the link and look out for 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 arriving from Grand Phony on March 1.
Dan Bern's "Bible" single tells it like it is, which is fine, since Dan has never been one to shy away from a bit of controversy. "And now it's all this," to quote John.

Dan chatted for a LONG TIME with MAGNET about the reissue of his 2001 album 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 (featuring "God Said No," per the above) as well as his upcoming all-new album 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳, out March 1 via Grand Phony. Tour continues through the end of the month!
"A rowdy, brass-charged blast of R&B funk that finds Norwood declaring 'You don’t know what I’m capable of.'"
Hear the entire debut album from Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout over at KXT. It’s out today, Friday, February 9.
KXT’s Local Show is also the sponsor of the band’s show tonight at The Kessler in Dallas.
New music from Dave Boone aka Alberta & The Dead Eyes today over at Big Takeover!
"There is a simplicity and spaciousness that is rare in music making circles today... when done correctly, as it is here, that’s all you need." Correct! No notes! I am the ultimate fan of simplicity in song. Any time that I am asked about what genre of music I work with, I say, "great songwriting." That has always been my attitude.
The "Slow Fool" single is available everywhere tomorrow. Listen today at the link. Click for your life!
