Charles Mingus - Oh Yeah (the wildest of his albums)

Heh, that's what "Peter( Pau)" was supposed to be. Must be some weird bug in my format conversion script. Ah well, I'll deal with it later.
Enjoying the Nina Simone recs. Right now, her debut is my favorite (love the piano pieces), but they all need more listens. Also loved Ritchie Valens and I am now even more ticked off about that plane crash.

Thanks, Frogger and others, lists updated. I haven't heard Gordon's stuff yet, so I'm looking forward to that.

Here's a short list of some of the big things I've learned from the project so far:
-- I really like jazz.
-- African Americans had a formative role in every major genre of Western popular music, including country.
-- So did White Americans
-- The biggest changes in popular music happened in the '50s, not the '60s
-- The birth of rock and roll is only a subplot. The real revolution was the shift from jazz- to blues-based music in the mainstream
-- Country is the only major genre that successfully adapted this transition (unless you count the ill-defined R&B genre)
-- Miles Davis is the man
-- Allmusic's reviews are crap
-- The Penguin Guide's are not
-- rhythm and blues is just code for "black" music. It used to be about segregation, but now it's just about marketing.
-- Ray Charles is also the man.
-- plane crashes suck
Oh, and thanks edubs, will update later.
