On this edition I remember the work and life of pianist Randy Weston who sadly passed away in September but who thankfully left some wonderful music behind and I am looking back at his extraordinary career as one of the most visionary Jazz pianists and composers of our time, deeply inspired by his ancestral African connection, which he integrated with the ground-breaking ideas of Bebop created by his idol and influence Thelonious Monk.
In The Hot Box Episode 36 we continue to trawl the files piano players who have graced the jazz stage over the past century or so, and the letter M proved especially fruitful. Last time (Hot Box#34) we had Monk and Moran, now we come to Mehldau and McPartland.
Liv Monaghan, has just released a music video for her song, Dead Lady’s Cigarettes, from the upcoming album, Slow Exhale.
The short film is a collaboration with the cinematographer, Kris Tagupa.
The song, Dead Lady’s Cigarettes, was inspired by an old cigarette case Liv found in a flea market in Paris. The piece was dating from the early 1940s. It still had three cigarettes inside and an almost unused powder press on the back; Perfect material for a song and later on a short film.
