Late Night Music Club with Dream Warriors

Title: My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style
Artist: Dream Warriors

Hip hop jazz and toasting from Toronto. Who knew? I kid, I kid. They’re actually very polite.
My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style
I love the fusion of jazz and hip hop. Both are dynamic styles, whose artists make up new rules as they go along. Hip hop looked to jazz for funky hooks, break beats and themes to create tonal beat driven backdrops for rhymes.
In the 60s, a wave of bossa nova and cha-cha raced through the states and this was reflected in old standards being ‘Latinized’ and in new compositions, based on Latin rhythms.

‘Soul Bossa Nova’ by Quincy Jones, was one such composition. Quincy Jones conducted a lineup for the 1962 ‘Big Band Bossa Nova’ album that featured ‘Soul Bossa Nova,’ which included Phil Woods, alto sax; Paul Gonsalves, tenor sax; Clark Terry playing trumpet and flugelhorn; Rahsaan Roland Kirk, present on flute and alto flute; Jerome Richardson on flute, alto flute, and woodwinds; Lalo Schifrin on piano (you may have heard some of his other work here); Jim Hall, guitar; Chris White, Bass; Rudy Collins, drums; and Jack Del Rio, Carlos Gomez, and Jose Paula, all contributing to the percussion section.

I love their use of the theme song from the Canadian game show Definition. I used to watch that show all the time as a kid growing up in Buffalo. "I'll give away the zed..."

Wash Your Face In My Sink is a better Dream Warriors song, IMHO

It's not just cool hip hop.

the best rock and pop and alternative is also coming out of Canada, esp. Toronto.

Feist, Caribou, Timber Timbre, Decomposure, Metric, Ohbijou, Fuck Buttons, Battles, A Silver Mt Zion (and the now defunct but wonderful Godspeed You Black Emperor) to more established acts like Loreena McKennitt, Issa (nee Jane Siberry), Rush, etc.

Canada's got the music now. Why? Because the gov't subsidises it. Just as how the meagre few pounds a week on the dole paid for the punk explosion, so the Canadian gov't is helping maintain a distinct Canadian music scene that is simply awesome.

So turn your aerials north, America. While you're all choking on Miley Cyrus and Rhianna and the bilge water from the RIAA, (with the exception of a few parochial scenes in the States like NYC, SF, Philly) we've got the music now - the fire is here.

I'm hoping it stays here for a while. These kinds of things ebb and flow, but right now, Canada's kicking serious ass, musically speaking.

When I clicked on this video, I got a 13-second Charmin ad IN SPANISH.


[That's a question for DailyMotion. I just clicked it, and it started w/o an ad, but I don't always get a clean start...like the second time I tried. I also got the Spanish toilet paper ad-Sitemonitor]
