As a drummer, Chico Hamilton probably never got the full recognition he deserved. However, his ability to recognize and hire young talent kept him in the limelight throughout much of the 1950s and '60s. THE DEALER is a good example of Hamilton's musical vision. The most significant aspect of this release is the introduction of a 23-year-old Larry Coryell, who went on to become one of the foremost jazz guitarists in the world.

THE DEALER finds its groove on the fourth track, "Baby, You Know," which is a beautiful, laidback ballad. On this tune, Coryell plays with all the heart and soul of a seasoned bluesman. He also intersperses Wes Montgomery-like bop lines in between the saxophone melody, proving that he's more than just a blues enthusiast. Coryell's own composition "Larry of Arabia" is another slow blues that highlights the fiery young guitarist. Overall, Coryell's creative mix of blues and bebop complements Hamilton's understated drumming, as well as alto player Arnie Lawrence's hard-bop style. This is definitely a fascinating listen, and one of Hamilton's finest albums.

BLU buff at the MOCA / Context is everything

A lot of people are up in arms, because the MOCA‘s new director Jeffrey Deitch had a commissioned mural by Italian street artist BLU buffed. The mural was created for an upcoming “Art in the Streets” exhibition, but was taken down due to the sensitive anti-war message it portrayed. Politics aside, I think having a mural buffed before the show even opens is a perfect testament to the fragility of street art.
While it sucks it happened, it happens around the world every day. Amazing work is buffed before anyone beyond the artist has seen it. Under bridges, down alleyways and on roof tops. At least this BLU mural was documented, and will be a part of the MOCA event in printed materials and of course around the internet on blogs.
Will this buffing start a bigger dialog with politicians and art critiques about the value of street art? Probably not. But will this upcoming show? More than likely. And thankfully this buffed mural will be a part of that story. Context is everything.
