Avant-garde as such
Monday 15 November 2004
2326hrs. Found out yesterday that ODB died aged 36. He collapsed in a Manhattan studio. The cause of death was unknown... Shocker. Rang Si to tell him and he was equally shocked. Some of his rhymes were the most outrageous things I have ever heard. Avant-garde as such. When he (sort of) sang it was brilliant. Reminded me of a be-bop alto sax player (soul, depth, versatility) in the same way Beans reminds me of a be-bop trumpeter (Lyrical, dexterous). Have just listened to his best of album. Some great stuff on there, especially the stuff produced by The Neptunes.
Have Billie Holiday in my head: Lady in Satin. Brings a tear to the eye
