Short and sweet today, but lots of good reads in the mix below, starting with two takes on improvisatory genius, a half-century apart and not necessarily unrelated, and then a little K-pop, a little STRAVINSKY and a little A TRIBE CALLED QUEST. And more. Always more... TOMMY BOY RECORDS has some splainin' to do and until then, JAY-Z and TIDAL have said "no, thanks" to the upcoming delivery of the DE LA SOUL catalog to streaming outlets... YOLA's "FARAWAY LOOK" is basically a note-for-note cover of a nonexistent midcentury modern country/pop/soul classic, and it's perfect and it announces the arrival of a major voice. The rest of the 35-year-old British singer's debut album, WALK THROUGH FIRE, doesn't let that opening track down, and if you want to quibble with DAN AUERBACH's on-the-nose period production, you're welcome to, but you don't have to, really... I vote yes on Olympic breaking... RIP DOROTHY MASUKA.
