Spurred by the recent release of "Miles From India", BendingCorners explores
some of the original material that inspired Bob Belden in the first place.
BC has been waiting for an excuse to do a full Miles set, and this seemed like
the perfect time to do so.
Presented here are some of the trippier sides of Miles' Eastern inspired
tunes from the early-70's.

April/May 2008

This is BendingCorners' annual showcase of standout "jazzatronic" tunes from
the past year. As with previous years, this set covers some of BC's favorite
modern examples of the influence of electronica on jazz and vise versa.

Its trumpet time again at BendingCorners.
This is the second of a two part series,
and this time around we focus on modern day trumpeters with some of BC's
favorite players from the 90's thru today.
Like the classic first set,
we again highlight the more progressive side of the trumpet spectrum.

February 2008
|
Another set inspired by luminary labels.
This time around we explore the dub side of the groove,
as pioneered by Channel One and Studio One.
Spanning 4 decades of jazzy-dub,
the set starts off in a traditional 70's style dub and gets more
progressive with each selection.
Smoke out and dub down.

January 2008
|
Inspired by such luminary labels as Ninja Tune, bbe, and Stones Throw,
this set explores the beat side of jazz-n-groove.
Perfect for those late night dope headz sessions,
this is beat heavy and groove wise.
|
November/December 2007
|
Its time again for BendingCorner's annual trip down the cosmic jazzways.
Like previous years, this set travels amoung the celestial bodies
of the kozmigroov elite as well as the cosmic underground.
From well-known to unknown we set the needle on the space groove
and expand to beyond.

A celebration of women bending their corners.
Yes, this is a spotlight on female groovers, but its so much more...
These are more than just females singing in a male band.
These are tunes where the woman is front and center as
the leader, the creator, the artist, the name-sake.
And, though there are a number of the typical names you'll find
on a "women of" collection, this set
showcases the groovie bent side of the available material.

Jazz fusion legend
Josef Zawinul
passed away on September 11th and this is
BendingCorners' homage to his genre-defining and category-bending music.
The tunes presented here date from 1967 to 1975 and span Joe's three main
groups: Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis, and Weather Report.
All songs were composed by Joe and feature Joe on a range of keyboards.
