The funny thing in this situation is that I'd actually consider Messiaen to be even heavier than Mastodon/Grog Shop -- albeit, less sustained in its heaviness. Mastodon shreds live but all the amps in the world couldn't make them as intimidating as the rhythm section in the Turangalîla-Symphonie. Still, sounds like a good night!

That was actually the 2nd time I'd heard that piece performed live. The first time was in 1989 with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Cleveland.. It was just simply devistating. I practically lept from my seat at the end. Salonen really let the orchestra rip...

When I got back to my dorm, my roomate had just returned from hearing Cecil Taylor peform next door at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Being a huge fan of all things modern and atonal, he was freaking out too. If only I could have caught both shows.. my head probably would have exploded.

I love nights like that..

Pretty mellow this morning. Listened to the 1957 obscure classic, "You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce," an LP I squeezed into my iPod last night. Harold Land, who recorded many albums with Thelonious Monk, on tenor. Jack Sheldon on trumpet, Carl Perkins (not that one!) on piano, the virtually unknown Frank Butler on drums, and the leader on bass.

One of the coolest album covers of all time, too. So cool that iTunes can't download it. You can get the general idea from the tiny picture on Amazon, but for the true impact, the 12 X 12 LP cover is a must.

Not nearly as abstract as their earlier work. They're my flavour of the month.
