Is this a good time to point out that Joni Mitchell was entirely self-taught, made up her own tunings and was pretty much an instinctual musician who knew nothing formal about "the notes" even at the point she started working with established jazz geniuses like Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius?

 

The person most in need of music lessons here is Foster.

 

Joni Mitchell didn't "start working with established jazz geniuses" so much as she (her management actually) hired them, and paid them good money.

Stating that Sting "started working with established jazz geniuses" like Kenny Kirkland, Brandford Marsalis, Omar Hakim, and Darryl Jones would be equally misleading. And I can go on (David Bowie, Paul Simon, Madonna, etc).

In the jazz world, "established jazz geniuses" don't just show up to play on your record because they think it's amazing you were "entirely self-taught, made up your own tunings and were pretty much an instinctual musician who knew nothing formal about "the notes."

In the jazz world, to paraphrase Duke Ellington, there are only two kinds of cats: those who can play, and the other kind.

So, not a good time no. But it takes little away from Joni Mitchell's talent, and contributions to pop/vocal music. The correlation with and praise of ignorance (what you call "nothing formal about the notes") is what's objectionable here. But Joni's cool.

 

The fact that you've never heard Italo disco isn't a big deal. It's like "CopPorn" äh...ah like "PopCornCinema," nothing really serious when you're a bit older! You say you like the END, which is funny, because I had done it all live, easy, and then suddenly drifted off to the ending sound (it contains a well-known sample from the song "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" that ive slow down till Hell). As if I had woken up, I stopped there. But it's nice that you like it. I thought about something that's pretty close to it and decided to upload this mix set for you: https://hearthis.at/tr4c3r/mix-set-for-lois-lane-a-daydream-diary/
If you don't like it, never mind *it's a 40 min shorty* — then, we'll work it out ;) (else, if... I've at least 30 more like this in Full Lenght)

Thanks Lois and funny as it is... it placed at Rang 5 at Downtempo Charts now

EDIT: I misunderstood the question with specifics...music I like takes me somewhere else, makes me think, gives me energy, mixes my emotions....

oh and anything really psychedelic...particularly made with electronics

 

Grazie per il mix. L'ho messo mentre mi addormentavo e mi sono svegliata in grado di parlare italiano. Devo scappare, vado a pranzo a Milano con le mie nuove amiche Maria e Isabela. Sei la migliore!

 

Wow, that sounds fantastic, I think everyone can definitely be jealous! Then I wish you three enviable people a lovely day in Milan. (And I thought you were from the magical land where the Wizard of OZ lives, somewhere over the rainbow! Well, Milan is actually the same thing.)

 

I didn't speak Italian until listening to your Italian Disco mix and now everything has changed!

 

C'mon it's just a sub-genre of ...i'm sure You'll be able to find music with classical notation like ZISSDISSHISSFISS *g* for yourself, and I'm convinced this still largely dominates. However, if I discover a thread with "Trio - Da Da Da," I can't really seriously write something like, "The harmonies aren't right here because they're not there!" And even if I did, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else responded with "AHA AHA AHA" ;)
HAHA HAHA HAHA

(And by the way: unexpectedly, "some" seems to like it. ...maybe for that very reason, in the sense of a "welcome change" ... And after all, it quickly landed at number 5 in the official Hearthis-Charts for "downtempo" and "chillout")
)

I like this version of the song in spite of the four of them not comprehending the ittiest bittiest iota of the importance of any of the notes that just fell out of that thinnest of Forest Hills air so long, long ago...especially that imposter Jaco, he hadn't a freaking clue.

 

This is excellent.

I don't think so. They definitely know what they're doing. Musicians of the past knew a lot.

 

totally agree, on the other hand *sometimes* very young may lough about the following and ask if you're serious (but as always it's zeitgeist, maybe the same young say if they lived in the the past that the cry is copied from yoko ono "ArrhhGlueahhwaaaraaappldieaaaa", i cant really know ;)

"What i know: i love the beginning and for some times ive try to Play it with Arturia Hammond *G*" and i fail, that's sure!)
