what do you mean 'now that we know what turtle yokai look like'? what do turtle yokai look like?

Oh my god. I woke up this morning and my notifs were FLOODED with this question XD! I really hope everyone sees this because there are too many reblogs asking in the tags of that post haha.

The turtle design in question:

And ol' Draxy is used to turtle Yokai who look like this:

His vision really does just look like warrior versions of our old friend Tom/Arnold/Steve/Timothy/Jerry/Bob/Darek/Eugene/Greg/Gerard/Jessica/Akroyd/Franklin.

If you don't understand this joke, you HAVE to go check out this post. This yokai works in accounting, has a wife named Martha, and has three kids who Raph babysits on the weekends.

Turtle Tom is Rise's very own Wes Weston.

This has been a PSA to everyone who was in my notes asking about this overnight. ily <3

George Garzone/Peter Erskine/Alan Pasqua/Darek Oles "3 Nights in L.A."

George Garzone/Peter Erskine/Alan Pasqua/Darek Oles “3 Nights in L.A.”

Fuzzy Music , 2019

Cztery muzyczne znakomitości. Trzy wieczory w Los Angeles. Niewielki klub nieopodal lotniska. Dwadzieścia utworów (choć tylko siedemnaście kompozycji, bowiem „Have You Met Miss Jones?” powtarza się trzykrotnie, a „The Honeymoon” dwa razy). Precyzyjnie wyliczone czasy trwania poszczególnych setów – każdy oscylujący w granicach godziny i dziesięciu minut.

Pozazdrościć moż…

The inviting sensitivity of singer Eden Atwood and the sensuous rhythms of Brazil make for a stirring musical marriage on Atwood's first Groove Note release Waves: The Bossa Nova Sessions. Atwood, who has thrilled audiences from Chicago to Shanghai with her superb vocal instrument and unbridled sense of expression, gives the music of Jobim, Ellington, Lennon-McCartney and others fresh meaning with unmatched warmth, conviction and a flirtatious touch of playfulness. On Waves, Atwood is accompanied by a group of like-minded musicians including pianist, arranger and Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition winner Bill Cunliffe (whose 2001 Groove Note recording Live At Bernie's received unanimous praise), guitarist, bandleader and award-winning arranger Anthony Wilson, first-call bassist Darek Oles and drummer Joe LaBarbara, whose touch and superb rhythmic facility graced the trio of the late Bill Evans among many others. Saxophonist-flutist Pete Christlieb, for years the leading reed player in Los Angeles' highly competitive studio scene, rounds out the gifted combo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIslxJJVj1/?igshid=c7zs1ibet6a7

American pianist Brad Mehldau can sound like Bill Evans, and he can rock with the best of them. But, as Russel Carlson wrote, his "mood remains intact: he gets woeful on nearly every track".

This piece is not so much woeful as robustly melancholic. From Brad Mehldau's 2002 album Largo (Warner Bros./Nonesuch 9362481142), here's "When It Rains".

Musicians on this album:

Brad Mehldau, piano, vibes Larry Grenadier, Darek "Oles" Oleszkiewicz, Justin Meldal-Johnson, bass Matt Chamberlain, Jorge Rossy, Jim Keltner, drums Victor Indrizzo, drums & percussion Jon Brion, guitar, guitar synth, piano percussion

Jazz Concert: The UCI Small Groups @ Winifred Smith Hall, 05/26/17

I'll be honest - I don't know a lot about jazz. I listen to the occasional John Coltrane and Miles Davis, and if I'm feeling adventurous, Kamasi Washington, but I'm still far away from the level of familiarity with jazz that would enable me to recognize compositions by name, but I still do enjoy jazz.

The UC Irvine Department of Music organized their jazz concert for the spring quarter at Winifred Smith Hall in the arts area of UC Irvine, consisting of UC Irvine's undergraduate Jazz Program, showcasing the Small Group student ensembles, under direction from the Jazz Faculty. Each ensemble had between five and nine artists (all the ensembles and their members can be found at the end).

The program was split into performances from four groups, The Thursday Combo, The Faculty Combo, The Wednesday Combo, and The Advanced Jazz Combo.

All of the performances were deeply inspired from Miles Davis' music and relied heavily on improvisation. The parallels were apparent, especially in the brass sections. The music was fantastic, and compositions worked well with the groups they were given to, and the group members themselves gelled together and complemented each other very well.

Miles Davis and that the bilateral either/or thing

Alan Pasqua

My New Old Friend

Cryptogramophone, 2005

Alan Pasqua: piano, whistle;

Darek Oles: bass;

Peter Erskine: drums;

Lina Brunkell: vocal (3).

Pianist Alan Pasqua's My New Old Friend clearly refers to his bandmates: drummer Peter Erskine, with whom Pasqua has worked in a trio for the past few years, but whose association goes back much further; and bassist Darek Oles, who has begun playing with Pasqua more recently. But it's the liner notes from Pasqua that perhaps describe the music best: "I hope that the music created here will give you, the listener, a place to rest for a while. It was made with love, care and respect."

Care may be the most important keyword. No idle stream-of-consciousness ramblings here: Pasqua is a spare and economical player for whom each note and chord is given the utmost attention. Avoiding rough surfaces and hard edges, there's an unabashed romanticism about Pasqua's work that makes it eminently accessible, and yet that's not to imply there isn't anything substantive. His reharmonizations of familiar tunes like "You Must Believe in Spring," "All the Things You Are," and "?"Smile indicate a player with a deeper understanding than his easy-on-the-ears approach might lead some to assume. And while his compositions are equally lyrical and delicate, navigating them is more challenging than it might seem. The elegant "Barcelona" rotates through a series of harmonic centres, encouraging everyone to take the care that Pasqua refers to, to find melodies and common notes to tie together the cycle of changes, making it sound whole.

Erskine continues to demonstrate the attention to detail so evident on his recent release with Bill Dobbins, Cologne. His evolution has been remarkable over the past thirty years—from an unquestionably talented but more obvious player to one with a more sophisticated philosophy that integrates more seamlessly into any context. Erskine's accompaniment is sometimes so understated that it almost goes by unnoticed, felt as much as heard; yet his contribution remains key to the collective complexion of the music. Like Pasqua, he is not one to waste a note, and his ability to fit any context and listen as much as he plays, makes him a most sensitive addition to any ensemble. He has the ability to make a tune like "All the Things You Areâ" swing with the lightest touch on a cymbal; and when he trades fours with Pasqua he exhibits the kind of thoughtfulness and intention that makes the slightest figure a statement.

Oles, who has been on the LA scene for a little over a decade but only recently released his first album as a leader—Like a Dream—is another player whose careful yet intuitive note selection and graceful sense of colour give this collection of largely medium and slow tempo tunes its life and light shimmer.

Refined yet playful in a less-is-more kind of way, My New Old Friend appeals on many levels—but by avoiding the obvious and eschewing virtuosic displays, it's the kind of record where one has to pay attention to truly appreciate the riches revealed beneath its soft and engaging surface.
