Sting is really something. O.K., I'm harsh on him, I agree. After all, …Nothing Like The Sun proved there is a way for him to be himself and be listenable at the same time. The review at Allmusic did hit a point – he's even more pretentious here, but the group that surrounds him makes up for that. Additionally, he's also more relaxed on the record, showing us why he became the superstar we know. One of his most famous singles from the record presents that fact, since he deals with quite a serious subject matter for a pop song in the 80's, though the piece has one of the most buoyant choruses Sting did. Yes, the LP shows another paradox of Sting, i.e. he wishes to be taken seriously, yet he's an incredible pop craftsman at his heart.

The astonishment about Billie Holiday in her 100th birthday summer is how differently we hear her. Back in the day — in her music, in her autobiography — Lady Day was the full catalog of suffering in a 20th-century underground: abandonment and child prostitution on the way to drink, drug addiction, and death at 44. “The most hurt and hurting singer in jazz,” said the authoritative Nat Hentoff.

But resurrection in art jumps out of the soundtrack here — starting with her breakthrough film with Duke Ellington in 1934, when she sings, at age 19, “Saddest tale on land or sea, was when my man walked out on me.” Then, when we hear Billie Holiday’s recording of “I’ll Be Seeing You,” from 1944, she has stopped at our table in a small club and started speaking directly to us. There’s no other singer who ever made us cheer and cry at the same time. So Billie Holiday stands less for all that pain than for Hemingway’s dictum that a blues hero “can be destroyed but not defeated.”

In Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth, the meta-biographer John Szwed (also of Sun Ra, Miles Davis and Alan Lomax) traces the self-invention of an icon and finds the life and art of Billie Holiday running side-by-side with a truth-telling drive that did not quit. In our conversation, Szwed finds that to the end she was “smarter, tougher, funnier” than all but a few knew.

The Lovers, by Jacob Lawrence (1946).

Five fine singers — Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dominique Eade, Marissa Nadler, Janice Pendarvis, and Rebecca Sullivan — are guiding us through their favorite Holiday songs: her vocal tricks and the social, emotional resonances of her music. Re-listening with them, we begin to understand and experience not just the Billie Holiday story, but the atmosphere of Harlem streets, nightclubs, and living rooms. We hear an “unflinching” voice and a “sophisticated” new sound in music.

The greatest jazz singer? The perfect jazz singer? Perhaps the only jazz singer that ever lived.

A Very Brief History of the Microphone

Lady Day not only embraced the use of the microphone, she revolutionized it. By bringing the “Harlem cabaret style” into the studio, she helped introduce a more subtle and restrained style of singing to recorded music. Our guest John Szwed gives us the rundown on how Holiday—along with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles, and Johnnie Ray—helped to permanently change the way artists approached the mic.

Philip Glass - “Songs from Liquid Days”: 2/6: “Lightning” Words by Suzanne Vega, Vocals by Janice Pendarvis Accompaniment played by the Philip Glass Ensemble

Lyrics:

Lightning struck a while ago, Blazing much too fast; But give it rain of waiting time, And it will surely pass; And eventually pass: Blow over!

And it’s happening so quickly— And I feel the flaming Time; And I grope about the embers, To relieve my stormy mind; To relieve my stormy mind: Blow over!—blow over!

Shaken this has left me, And laughing and undone— With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness That’s just begun; And windy, crazy running, Through the nights, and through the days, And a crackling Of the Time burned away; Burned away—burned away.

Now I feel it in my blood! All hot, and sharp, and white! With a whip-crack, and a thunder; And a flash of flooding Light— A flash of flooding light! Blow!

But there’ll be a thick and smoky Silence in the air; When the fire finally dies, Who’ll be left there? Blow—

In the ashes of time, Burned away; Burned away!

14 February 2022: "Lightning” b/w “Freezing,” Philip Glass. (FM, 1986)

I bought this promo 12″ specifically because Linda Ronstadt sings lead on the B-side, “Freezing.” My Ronstadt kick has waned after a couple years of mainlining her, though I am currently working my way through her three late-’60s albums as a member of The Stone Poneys, but when I see something unusual that involves her I am still attracted. Both of these songs come from Glass’s 1986 album Songs from Liquid Days, apparently one of the composer’s forays into pop music, for it contains lyrics written by Suzanne Vega, Paul Simon, David Byrne, and Laurie Anderson. Vega is the lyricist for both songs on this single. It will be interesting to hear what this is like. I’m not familiar with Janice Pendarvis, the vocalist on side one, but a quick scan of her name online shows me she has done session and live work with quite a few artists, and I’ve definitely heard her voice before.

Above we have the record in its plain sleeve, hype sticker, and side one’s label. CBS has had a lot of offshoot labels over the years, but FM is one I’ve never seen before.

THE PRETTY RECKLESS EN ARGENTINA 

MARTES 14 DE MARZO – 19:00 h

TEATRO VORTERIX – AV. FEDERICO LACROZE 3445

BANDA INVITADA: SICK PORKY

THE PRETTY RECKLESS, la banda liderada por la carismática cantante Taylor Momsen regresa a la Argentina el día martes 14 de marzo a las 19:00hs en el Teatro Vorterix (Av. Federico Lacroze 3455). El grupo estará presentado  las canciones de su nuevo álbum “Who You Selling For”,  junto a un recorrido por los temas más representativos de su carrera.

El primer single del álbum, "Take Me Down", es una historia de desesperación, con Momsen entregando letras como: "Pasé toda la noche y el día / ¿Cuánto más difícil puedo jugar? Momsen dice, añadiendo que ella y Phillips estaban inspirados en la canción "Crossroads" del artista de blues Robert Johnson. Que algunos han interpretado que Johnson estaba cantando sobre la venta de su alma al diablo a cambio de su capacidad musical. "Back To The River" es sobre el deseo de alejarse de todo, de ir a donde nadie puede llegar, mientras que "Wild City” está siendo influenciada por ser joven y de estar por tu cuenta en Nueva York ( "Lo escribimos mientras caminabamos por la calle Rivington en el Lower East Side ", dice Momsen). La canción más agresiva en el álbum es "Oh My God", que Momsen describe como "auto-confesión de un diario. Creo que habla por sí mismo”. Y finalmente" Who You Selling For " da testimonio de que la música es una forma de salvación y describe cómo el resto del álbum alcanza todas las formas de rock and roll posibles buscando "The Answer" (la respuesta). La canción que inspiró el título del álbum, le pide a los oyentes a echar un vistazo en sus propias vidas con su consulta provocativa. "Para mí, es una pregunta que desafía lo que estoy haciendo con mi vida", agregó Momsen: “Cuestiona el significado de mis acciones sean cuales fueren. También define el disco de una manera más grande pidiendo al oyente que examine el significado de cada canción más allá de lo obvio”.

Sonoramente, “Who You Selling For” alterna entre el rock duro ( "Oh My God", "Prisioner", "Wild City", "Living In The Storm") y momentos más suaves y más tranquilos ( "The Walls Are Closing In" "Take Me Down", "Back To The River", "Who You Selling For", la balada acústica "Bedroom Window", y el cierre con "The Devil's Back"), deandole a Momsen una plataforma para mostrar la potencia y versatilidad de su voz. Ella es una de las “frontwomans”  más atractivas del rock, capaz de ser descarada y conflictiva, como seductora y audaz, y que sólo ha crecido y perfeccionado en sus actuaciones con el correr de los años. (Ella tenía 15 años cuando The Pretty Reckless escribió y grabó su álbum debut de rock-grunge-blues “Light Me Up”, en 2010.)

La voz de Momsen suena aún más íntima gracias a la forma y el tono que ella y Phillips, junto con su productor Kato Khandwala, grabaron las canciones. "Es la grabación más natural posible", dice Phillips. "Todo está basado en el rendimiento, no se ha retocado nada. Cuando Taylor necesitaba algo más que guitarras, bajo y batería, se invitó a otros músicos, entre ellos el guitarrista Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers) , el guitarrista Tommy Byrnes (Billy Joel) y el tecladista Andy Burton (Ian Hunter), así como las vocalistas Janice Pendarvis (David Bowie), Jenny Douglas-Foote (P!nk) y Sophia Ramos (Rod Stewart). "Fue muy bueno tener a tantos músicos en una sala interactuando juntos y solo pulsando el botón de grabación", dice Momsen. "Es muy gratificante sentir a los instrumentistas y cantantes representados como son. Se le dio vida a esas canciones que fueron escritas a escondidas en un dormitorio y realmente nos permitió entregar las actuaciones más honestas posibles. Lo que escuchas es lo que sonaba, sin adornos. Es eso, "es la voluntad de la banda de desnudar sus almas, lo que les ha ganado una base de fans tan apasionada -  gente que se identifica con el candor crudo de las letras y la forma sin miedo en que se expresan. "He tenido una vida tan extraña", dice Momsen. "Siempre me he sentido por mi cuenta, corriendo por el mundo en una misión que apenas entendía. Nuestros fans han sido los que realmente estuvieron allí para nosotros. Nos han apoyado a través de los buenos tiempos y los malos. Les debo gratitud. Son la inspiración cuando las cosas parecen demasiado sombrías para seguir adelante. Sé que se ha dicho un millón de veces, pero es verdad, no estaría aquí hoy sin ellos. Hacen que todo esto posible.”

When the players want to strike on their own outside their collectives, they do have a wish to be understood much more than they were within the confines of their original bands. Sting, to give you an example, felt a need to prove himself. Therefore, The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, his debut, reflects the troubled production that occured thanks to such a mindset at the time. The LP seems to present a struggle of someone avoiding what he did before without disregarding the latter completely. He appears to be tense, since he demands to be taken as a real deal despite him achieving that with The Police. I mean, listen to his singles from the album, even they sound like him chasing the persona of a serious musician, worthy of a serious consideration.
