It’s Begining to Look a lot Like Listmess…

David Cantwell writes: It’s that time of year again when people in my line of work are expected to compile a series of lists, honoring the best and worst whatevers of the preceding twelve months. And this annual necessity reminds me that one aspect of contemporary culture I am well past weary with is…The List. Let me be precise here. I believe listmaking is a helpful, and sometimes even perhaps the best, way of foregrounding an argument. For example, Dave Marsh’s The Heart of Rock & Soul: T

Grover Washington, Jr. - Soul Box (1973)

The early work of alto saxophonist and composer Grover Washington, Jr. is a rare and beautiful thing to behold. His entire Kudu period, marked by the albums Inner City Blues, All the King's Horses, Soul Box, Mister Magic, and Feels So Good, is brilliant, solid urban groove jazz played with grace, mean chops, and slippery funkiness. Soul Box, a double LP recorded in 1973, has Creed Taylor's production enhanced by a symphony orchestra and full-blown jazz band arranged and conducted by Bob James. S

Interview: Vampire Weekend

Finding words to describe Vampire Weekend seems futile, since they’ve become the A-list blog stars of 2008. But in case your Internet has been disconnected since January, Vampire Weekend is the project of four Columbia-educated Upper West Side turned Brooklynites who play intoxicating indie pop imbued with Afro-beat inspired soukous rhythms and melodies. The band’s eponymous debut album was released in January and has become one of the most vibrant and refreshing albums of the year. They’re p
