Fourth of July Jazz

willward — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:24:34 +0000

Here's a mix of my favorite jazz

Track Listing

1. Ella and Louis – Can’t we be Friends

countless saturday mornings camped out in front

of the record player at home

2. Lincoln Center Jazz – C Jam Blues

3. Oscar Peterson – Someday my Prince will Come

Oscar was Canadian but what the hell

4. Count Basie Orchestra – Li’l Darling

5. Gene Harris – Take the A Train

Gene Harris gets shown up by a rockin guitar solo

6. Frank Sinatra and Duke E – Yellow Days

from one of the best albums of all time (above)

7. Ella with Count Basie Orchestra – Basella

trombone trades 4s with Ella, brilliant

8. Lester Young with Oscar Peterson – Takes Two to Tango

couple of takes from a recording session. gets a bit PG-13 towards the end

NOTE: Sorry for the crappy hosting of the mix. I want to get to where I can embed a little player into the blog post itself. Does anyone know how I do this?

UPDATE: Audio now hosted by the much cleaner and more convenient DivShare. Thanks John!

Work Out Playlists

Health Advisor — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:41:51 +0000

Fitness magazines and Web sites love to ask readers about their favorite workout music while presenting their playlists or suggestions from celebrities

The playlist fixation has a scientific basis: Studies have shown that listening to music during exercise can improve results, both in terms of being a motivator (people exercise longer and more vigorously to music) and as a distraction from negatives like fatigue.

But is there a perfect workout track, a song that transcends exercise forms and personal preferences?

Los Angeles DJ Steve Boyett believes so. He's created a Pod Cast called Podrunner, a free, weekly series of fixed-BPM dance music mixes produced for runners, joggers, power-walkers, aerobics, spinning, or any fixed-tempo workout.
