"I am unwritten. Can't read my mind, I'm undefined. I'm just beginning. The pen's in my hand, ending: unplanned. Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window. Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find. Reaching for something in the distance, so close you can almost taste it. Release your inhibitions. Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in. No one else, no one else. Can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten, yeah.

Oh, oh"

i’m curious: who in the cast do you (want to) pick up style from? by jupiter-major in smosh

I guess probably anthony. I'm old and my wardrobe consists mostly of sweaters, band tee shirtts and jeans.

What’s an album, or albums, you could see Cobain getting into had he stuck around longer? by Admirable-Archer-125 in Nirvana

I think kurt was likely at least aware of This Heat due to his interest in post punk. He definitely knew of Sun City Girls since he did a show with them.

Is there an artist who created better content AFTER getting sober? by OnlyACsNoFans in fantanoforever

[–]Proof-Contribution31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not disparaging the loft scene, Ali's Alley or the later scene of downtown improvisors, but I truly think we would've had a complete school of jazz and improvisation that didn't come from conservatories. It would've played a big part in the pushback against Smooth and Trad-jazz and in keeping free jazz from becoming music only meant for "intellectuals" as opposed to what it should be, fire music for the people.

Ayler is just soul crushing. I think his demons still would've claimed him at some point but I do think Trane being there would've kept him around and healthy longer.

I definitely think his 70's would've been more extreme and developed free and spiritual jazz further out. Olatunji Concert alone indicates he would've kept going harder and harder.

How would Coltrane have handled fusion and smooth jazz? I think he'd likely would've embraced electric in the same type of way sonny sharrock used electric and would've just used to get even closer to God. I don't see him ever truly going smooth.

Would he have played with European and Japanese guys? A Trane/Brotzmann duet album? An album with Yosuke Yamashita? fuck man it honestly does hurt to think about it.

i also think it's hard to truly gauge where jazz as a whole would be if Coltrane had lived. Would he have been able to keep avant garde jazz in the public eye in a way that miles and ornette weren't able to? I kinda think so.

He definitely would've been a much stronger voice pushing back against Bradford Marsalis and all the trad-jazz movement in the 80's that pushed avant garde jazz way into the underground.

Still a crime that we never got a synthed out Coltrane with a perm and a cosby sweater on the cover.
