This series celebrates what we're playing while we're printing.Ken Nordine's Colors is essential listening for anyone working on a project that involves, well, colors. The album consists of 35 tracks, each a celebration of a single hue. Though there's sparse instrumental accompaniment, this is word jazz at its finest. Nordine's expressive delivery gives each color a distinct and fitting personality. And since 1/2 of Duckpin Press experiences synesthesia, this is a particularly rewarding album to listen to while pondering what ink to mix up next.
Samples can be heard here.
Let's not forget Ice-T's, "Colors".
ReplyDeleteOr Jimi Hendrix's "Bold As Love" ... green envy waits behind him/her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground...
ReplyDeleteWhat is puce?????
ReplyDeleteThe color puce can be best described as a cross between a four-day-old lipstick-on-the-collar stain and a three-day-old bruise.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a coincidence that those are related.
