You might want to listen to James Moody's Lazy Afternoon on this lovely Sunday in Rhode Island, temperature an easy 75. The tune is at Geezer Music Club, a blog so geezer it predates Rock Around the Clock.. Ted Barron, at Boogie Woogie Flu has a photo of James Moody in 1951, a couple of Moody tunes and a confession to make in a post titled Moody's Mood. A few short clips are buried on the CDs page at JamesMoody.com.
My goal with Quiet American is to sketch in sound the experience of being in an unfamiliar place. The ambient sound of the "vacations" -- 287 so far -- ranges widely: daytime bazaar in Panama, Voodoo Festival in Benin, West Africa, nighttime insects in India, opera in a Norman cathedral, a thunderstorm in Portugal.... There is also a page of field recordings made in Vietnam in 1998. Evening chant at Thien Mu monastery in Hue. I enjoyed clicking around the other pages of this simple site, too, reading what Aaron has to say about it all and listening to sound snippets.
