The Mona Lisa Curse


A great, hour long, documentary (albeit in low pixel quality with some audio glitches) about the modern world of art (focusing mainly on paintings) and what's destroying/changing its culture. Robert Hughes is an experienced art critic who leads us along this documentary starting from the iconic Mona Lisa showing in the US to troubled later times of auctions, marketing and big corporate boys who spend a lot of money and invest a lot of money into art.

It's a sad story but it definitely brings out some things worth thinking about if you care about the art world.

Jackie McLean on Mars

Jackie McLean on Mars



An interesting documentary about Jackie McLean made in 1980. It's a classic documentary setup mainly featuring McLean himself talking about his life, career and personal view on things with various footage on show. Also features some of his lectures that he gave in college.

They also discuss Sun Ra during one of the lectures. One dude says uncomfortably "it's kinda far out" after McLean asks them if they did listen to some of Sun Ra records. I thought that was hilarious and it's also really cool to hear that McLean admired Sun Ra.

Anyway, I talked about McLean before so here are some links: 4, 5 and 6 and Jacknife so check these out if you're interested in how he sounds on record. Both albums are really great.

Jazz Legacies: A Conversation with Ron Carter


Lately I've been going through some Ron Carter albums (where he was the group leader) and while reading about him I stumbled upon this great, hour long, interview.

The interview is led by the critic Gary Giddins and they cover a lot of Carters work and associations with other musicians. Carter is great in this interview and appears to be a very clear minded and noble person. Be sure to check it out if you're into jazz or if you're an aspiring bassist.
