music from the ether (1934)

marvin gaye - i want you (rehearsal)

The reclined band leader...

ahmad jamal - moonlight in vermont

(~_~)

marcellus pittman - illa 5 ela

samples patrice rushen's "remind me" ~ also very much worth a listen !

what makes winters lonely

When the wind was fresh
On the hills
And the stars were new in the sky
And a lark was heard in the still
Where was I

clara rockmore - the swan

    "Her classical training gave her an advantage over the many theremin performers who lacked this background. She possessed absolute pitch, helpful in playing an instrument that generates tones of any pitch throughout its range, not just those defined by equal temperament. She had extremely precise, rapid control of her movements, important in playing an instrument that depends on the performer's motion and proximity rather than touch. She also had the advantage of working directly with Léon Theremin from the early days of the instrument's commercial development in the United States."
