Recently on Heliocentric Worlds

Posting may be light here for the next two or three days, as I've got a (paying!) writing assignment that will keep me mostly offline until Sunday.

In the meantime, know that even on days when there are no new posts here in the main column, the StLJN sidebar has fresh content in the form of feature stories and the Daily Download from AllAboutJazz.com. You also can check out some of the other fine jazz sites listed on the sidebar under "Jazz Blogs of Note", or read some jazz-related headlines on our Bloglines page.

Alternatively, may we humbly suggest that you go take a look at StLJN's sibling site Heliocentric Worlds, which showcases a different music video every day. Over the past couple of weeks, you could have seen videos featuring John Coltrane, Blood Sweat and Tears, Duke Ellington, Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner, Soft Machine, John McLaughlin, Sun Ra Arkestra, Memphis Slim, Heatwave, Captain Beefheart, Derek Bailey and John Stevens, The Temptations, Count Basie, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, the Billy Cobham-George Duke Band, and Don Cherry, James "Blood" Ulmer and Rashied Ali.

Fortunately, you can still access all of these clips, plus many more from genres including jazz, blues, soul, funk, classic rock, prog rock and more, at http://heliocentricworlds.blogspot.com/.
