Ceddo, Nadavati Ceddo - s/t (1979 Germany). Ceddo - Aufhören (1980 Germany). Ceddo - Step by Step (1983 Germany). Ceddo, on their debut, is very much from the jazz school, but in the same way as Association PC and Electric Circus. Long tracks, and the guitar playing gets pretty wiggy, so a real plus there. The bass plays fretless and has that warm 80?s jazz sound. The drumming is scattered which is nice. Closest comparison would be Dzyan?s ?Time Machine? (more jazzy though) or maybe Alpha du Centaure?s album

The Roaring 20's upon there was a girl who lived a simple life. She lived during the time of the ?flappers? which was a period of time that redefined modern women. Flappers were defined as a new breed of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to the new Jazz music, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. The flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherw

Wine & Song Series Announced for Sonoma Jazz + May 24-25?Experience an event like no other!
What distinguishes Sonoma Jazz + from other festivals is an atmosphere of dolce far niente (?the good life?) that spreads far beyond the stage. The great white tent is an elegant distinction, but the sound of wonderful music and the quiet clinking of wineglasses heard all around the Plaza on the weekend afternoons ? that?s the good life as we know it.
You?ll certainly remember 2008?s stars ? Kool and the Gang, Herbie Hancock, Al Green, Diana Krall, Bonnie Raitt and Al Jarreau. But you?ll also recall a lesser-known singer?s turn of phrase as you sip a fantastic Zinfandel, the bounce in a swing tune that accompanies a superb Pinot, or the pleasure of the atmosphere along with a Chardonnay.
Recently, there has been a fair amount of buzz surrounding music’s influence on the way you perceive wine.
Rocket science? Maybe not, but I love the idea of pairing wine with music and was ecstatic when Robert McIntosh tagged me to participate in a lighthearted music meme. Originally, based on a creation by Andrew at 7 Songs, the challenge proposed to me was to list the 7 top songs I love at this very moment. But as our niche is Iberian wine, I couldn’t just list my current favorite songs without putting a little twist on it.
Hence, what I’ve compiled here are 7 Spanish songs to pair with 7 Spanish styles of wine, most of which I’ve stumbled across on Last FM. Note that I’m used ’styles’ loosely, but I trust you’ll get the idea
Bongo Bong - Manu Chao Originally from Galicia, Manu Chao now resides in Paris recording a wide range of music, some of which appeals to my funky, rap/chill side. This is the type of music you flip on during a bbq when you’ve got a glass of Albarino in one hand and a piece of sweet honeydew in the other as your hips sway back and forth to the bass.
Cuando Quiero el Sol - Presuntos Implicados I’m not entirely sure if I like this song because of the dramatic and melancholic voice of the main Andalusian singer, Sole, or because the video actually attempts to romanticize The Matrix. Whatever the reason, it’s a great jazzy song that marries well with a glass of amontillado.
Todo Tienda - Ojos de Brujo Hands down this is one of my favorite Spanish groups! I was first introduced to them a few years ago by my old roommate who just happened to be the main singer for a Spanish Pink Floyd cover band called The Pinktones (incredible group), and have been obsessed with the group every since. Ojos de Brujo, translating to ?Wizard?s eyes? in Spanish, is an eight-piece band from Barcelona and described as a blend of hip-hop with a dash of flamenco mixed in for good measure. What to drink with this song? Cava! You want something bright, fun and full of life, as I hope you will be dancing when your sipping your Cava
Pokito a Poko - Chambao Chambao like Ojos de Brujo also blends flamenco in their music, but instead of hip-hop, this group has more of an electronic edge. Its namesake stems from an improvised beach tent that used to block rain, wind and sun. Formed in 2005 by a trio of Malaga musicians, they have now gained large international following, which it rightfully deserves. For this type of music, I’m going to go on a limb here and suggest sangria. Yeah, I realize that it is the bastard child of Spanish wine, but hey, there are times when sangria fits the occasion, and this is one of them!
Killed me - Amparanoia Sexy and seductive Amparo Sanchez, the main singer, has the voice of Billy Holiday and the style that dances between chillout, paris cafe music and old school jazz. For me, I want a red from Ribera del Duero. Dark, robust and silky, this region offers bold aromatic wines that express both balance and elegance - the perfect match for a sultry song. PS - Listen carefully to the way in which Amparo pronounces the title of the song.
Son Son - Macaco I had heard of the band last year from a teacher I had worked at the school I was teaching at, but never took time to really sit down and listen to their music until a few months ago. Began in 1997 by Dani Mono Loco, the band is a collective of people from all over the world including Brazil, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Spain. Blending reggae, flamenco, pop, rock and hip hop, it’s a style you want to enjoy with a something festive, but serious. My suggestion, Txacoli from Northern Spanish region of Pais Vasco.
Toca y Toca - Mala Rodriguez A Spanish hip hop singer, born in Jerez de la Frontera. Young, jazzy and funky, Mala requires a wine with a bit of edge and attitude, such as a Toro red. Rich, complex flavors and aromas, this style requires music with a powerful bass and beat.
While in Louisville recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Le Relais (French for "relay races") located in the original building of Bowman Field, built in 1919 and Kentucky's oldest civilian airport. Now it's mostly used for private aircraft, but a third of the building is devoted to a classic French restaurant. Not dressed appropriately? You can always sit outside on the deck, located right on the tarmac. Oh, please don't throw me in that briar patch. Don't make me sit right next to a lovingly restored biplane and a Lockheed Lodestar*.
Alas, I was properly attired and sat inside, where I got to gaze at vintage 1930s Air France posters while dining. I had the carpaccio of beef followed by the pheasant breast stuffed with a wild game mousseline and accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes and carrots. This place has a huge wine list including a great selection of half-bottles that's distinct from the main list. I finally settled on a half-bottle of the 2005 Domaine Bosquet des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still bright, a little tart with the cherry flavor, but increasingly mellow and delicate as it breathed. I later got hints of eucalyptus, a touch of tobacco, and a little stewed fruit underneath. The name of the AOC translates to the "new house of the Pope", a reference to the Avignon Papacy and the producer is something like the "thicket of the Popes".
Dining at Le Relais is a true joy: amazing food, intriguing location, and classy atmosphere. The light jazz on the music system helps contribute to an overall but not overwrought connection with Rick's Café Américain in Casablanca. Most importantly, if you visit I promise it will be the best experience you've had at an airport in nearly a decade. Due to my father I grew up around aviation both private and commercial. At times it's easy to forget that many of the smaller airfields in this country don't require heavy security and surrender of your dangerous 4 oz. liquids. For the first time in years I sat just yards away from aircraft and a runway, having a wonderful meal and watching the planes take off. And everyone around me was happy, relaxed, and smiling...
*Thanks to Dad for the ID on the Lodestar, a plane I clumsily identified as "a small DC-3 with the tail of a B-24".

I'm going to buy this wine...because I just think it's terribly cool that a winery would honor one of the greatest jazz vocalists in the history of the genre. (Have you ever heard Ella sing "mack the knife"?!!?)
However, I'm probably not going to drink this Domaine Carneros Sparkling Wine while listening to any jazz, including Ella. Here's why.
I've long believed that even given the range and the diversity of the Jazz genre, the absolutely most appropriate drink to accompany Jazz is something that attacks the senses, throat, palate and body with a Velvet Bite.
No pure wine I've ever consumed possesses this quality.
By "Velvet Bite" I mean, first, that sensation of a subtle sting that warms just as the sting diminishes when the liquid is poured over your palate. You need to feel the relief of the alcohol sting diminishing just as the alcohol also begins to warm the throat and stomach.
There must be a soft clamping down on the palate that does not linger, but also is not escapable. The sensation alerts the senses in a momentary shock like no wine can do, yet fades away, relinquishing its bite in favor of alertness and warmth.
This state, I think, is best suited for listening to Jazz. Bourbon, Whiskey, Scotch and even cognac and armagnac are the proper drinks to pair with Jazz; best suited to provide a velvet bite.
Further, I believe the full affect of pairing the Velvet Bite with Jazz occurs when a shot of any of the above beverages is taken in advance of sipping on a second round of the same. And, how this shot is performed can affect the pleasure of the pairing even more if done right.
The shot, while it should be taken in all at once, should not be targeted at the throat so that it slips down past the palate with minimal contact. On the other hand, taking time to swish the beverage around the palate will also ruin the experience. Rather, the throat should be half to 3/4s closed when the shot enters the mouth. The partially closed throat will promote a slow movement of the bourbon over the palate, followed in quick order by it slowly sliding down the gullet. The technique delivers the bite, but does not sear the palate. And at the same time, a decent amount of alcohol enters the body and the blood stream in relatively quick fashion.
Yes, I'm suggesting that Jazz is best appreciated with a slight buzz. Not a "drunk". But a warm, comfortable, smirk inducing buzz.
It should be noted that after the initial shot of our preferred beverage, the second round can be sipped, and probably enjoyed even more due to the palate, body and mind having been properly prepared by the initial shot.
Wine is simply too week to stand up to the challenging nature of jazz; the subtle, complex and sometimes jolting nature of jazz rhythms require the body to be properly prepared with an anesthesia that both weakens one's grip on convention, yet provides a bite.
New York ?The last time I saw a selection of wines this idiosyncratic was on a closeout list from a distributor,? somebody was heard to say, when talking about one of the many wine bars that have sprung up across the country.
Whether it is to find an outlet for those seldom seen wines, that do often languish in the corners of many a wholesaler?s warehouse, or if it is the result of a methodical search for a pure expression of wine, today?s wine lover need only to stumble into a wine bar. Or enoteca, as we say, on the wine trail.
Minutes before I was to do just that, I was in a clothing store that caters to young urbanites. On display were as many different T-shirt selections as I would soon be faced with when looking at the wine list. One shirt caught my attention. It read, ?Who the f*** is Mick Jagger??
An hour later, over a glass of Gruner, Mick would pass by our window, sans entourage.
30 minutes earlier I slipped into the wine bar, before my friends. Ordering up a glass of an Italian white, an Asprinio, it recalled a wine I had made a hundred years ago in California. Tangy fruit up front, a hint of volatility, not quite ready for oil and salad, but veering off in that direction. That?s OK with me in small doses. Italian whites, especially made in a rustic style, can be charming when that element is doled out judiciously. Civet in a perfume can be attractive, ask anyone who loves Chanel No.5.
Speaking of the rear end of a tomcat, I am sitting here struggling with terroir. My friend and I had an appointment with the owner of a wine bar, who walked in, and by, chatted up his staff, looked not in any direction at his clientele (one of which, wasn?t he supposed to rendevous with?), and headed back out the door.
Maybe it?s all those years I worked at being invisible when I photographed on the streets. Perhaps he is forgetful, though we met and spent time together, recently. I?m quite sure the success of his career has nothing to gain from knowing me.
All these thoughts, not just to excoriate the young lion for his comportment. More to my quest is this elusive search for recognizability in that thing we call terroir.
I use a different word which comforts me and because I understand it better than terroir. Territoriality. Probably a made up word, but one which offers focus to a blurry scatter of opinions about the spirit of a place, which means something to us for a reason. Maybe it is because grapes grow there and unforgettable wine results. Or hands making memorable music. Perhaps it is because a certain potato flourishes there, exclusively, and from those potatoes a gnocchi (that I?ll never ever forget) of which I had three bowls, at lunch, in the Marche. Back there, in the dungeon of my memories.
As the forgetful proprietor hurried off to his more important task, my friend arrived with a colleague. We sat down to drink that bottle of Gruner, Mick hurrying off in the same direction as Mr. Oblivious. Everyone to their own T-shirt. Wine boss, rock hoss, jazz joss. Not yet, Thelonious, that?s coming, uptime, uptown. Later.
While the revolutionary T-shirts are brought to the table with a sampler of appetizers, we ordered another bottle, this time a red. I proceeded to blunder, thinking the name was printed on the list with a redundancy. My younger, more mentally agile colleague gracefully corrected me. Just so everyone knows, Italian wines, even to those who make a life study of them, have many, many names. This one, known as Lacrima di Morro d?Alba, just to make things interesting, is also not from Alba. Or anywhere near Piedmont. Look it up. Oh, and the winemakers sometimes use the Tuscan governo process, but it?s not from Tuscany. Got it?
About this time one of the observant ones at our table casually mentioned that Tom Waits just shuffled by, in the direction of William Burroughs old place. One of them is late. This is one helluva people-watching wine bar.
It's hard to believe that a year has almost gone by and Christmas Time is here. In getting into the holiday rhythm, I went looking for some music only to find most of it unsatisfying (surprise, surprise). There are exceptions, and here I think is one of them.
December 1965, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was aired and became an instant standard. Most people will remember the Charles Schultz cartoon along with the catchy tunes. Upon listening to the recent 2006 re-master of this album by Fantasy records, I was amazed. This is so much better than coming out of a 14 inch mono TV. Arranged & composed by Vince Guaraldi, there is an underlying quality of happiness and cheer to the music. Perhaps it brings back happy memories of my childhood but I think it is intrinsic to the music. Guaraldi to me, has the lyrical qualities of Bill Evans together with the rhythm and swing of a Dave Brubeck - it is a shame he died of a heart attack at an age of 47 between sets at a jazz club. Thought I would share this one with you, the album code is FCD-30066-2 in case some of you are interested.
Merry Christmas, good health, peace on earth and may joy come over the world.

A magnificent Malbec! It picked up a trophy at the inaugural Wines of Argentina Awards held in Mendoza in 2007, having wowed the international panel of judges - included among them wine expert Jancis Robinson, who gave it an impressive 17 out of 20. This mulberry and spice-flavoured red wine was made by Herve Fabre, who was originally involved in the Bordeaux wine trade, before he and his wife fell in love with Argentina and moved there to establish a boutique winery. Herve's experience in producing top quality wines shines through in this tremendously rich, silky-smooth wine. Ripe blackberry and bramble aromas merge seamlessly with spicy oak and vanilla flavours. Full bodied, yet seriously smooth and warming. This 89 Parker point wine is sure to survive for many years to come. Definitely a wine to enjoy with fine food ... try it with rare roast beef or a juicy steak.
"Wonderfully succulent, rich berry fruit with hints of spice box." (Parker). A must-have wine from this superb estate, once provider of the second wine of Cos d'Estournel. "Blackberries ... herbs ... hints of spices." (Wine Spectator)
As fans of this famed winery will know, Cheval Blanc is the benchmark in great St Emilion. Awarded a near-perfect score of 99 points by Wine Magazine, this 2001 vintage doesn't disappoint. A wealth of concentrated fruit and a subtle use of oak make this a wine of accomplishment that will continue to evolve for years to come. "Silky, pure-fruited and smoothly (violet) perfumed with high ripe, silky tannins. Fabulously serious wine that grows on the palate." Wine Magazine

Awarded a perfect 100 points by both Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator, this is a rare opportunity to possess a wine that would top any wish list! Benefiting from a stellar vintage and the majestic touch of Lafite, this is the epitome of perfection. "Subtle aromas of currants, leather, tobacco and cedar. Classic cigar box nose, with fruit. Full-bodied, with an amazing texture of silky, ripe tannins. This wine completely coats your palate, but caresses it at the same time. A triumph." James Suckling, Wine Spectator
