Ingrid Laubrock knocks it out of the park again with Monochromes... No Ellington this week... Choosing what to listen to is such a mixed bag... I set myself goals (or restrictions) and say, next I will listen to [these artists, or these records], and that works until it doesn't... I always leave room for impulse (and Impulse!) and whim... sometimes the possibilities of choice are overwhelming, and that's where the Magic Jukebox comes in... my first iPod is totally stuffed with long-form jazz and "Dark Stars" and never fails to delight and surprise me when I need it... the second, the one featured here occasionally, is filled with shorter songs for the most part, and always satisfies my need for serendipity, variety, and juxtapositional transitions... then I can go back to my several pre-determined piles of discs and continue to work my way through a path of yet more wonderful music...
