Some of the finest jazz records ever made have been released on Impulse! – The New Wave Of Jazz Is On Impulse! Remember?
Impulse! released some of the best records from legendary jazz artists such as Art Blakey, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson, Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, and many others…
I just previewed a new remix album called Impulsive! including a remix of one of my favourite contemporary artists DJ Dolores. His Aparelhagem was one of my most played albums this summer.
Impulsive! is gonna be released by the end of October. I can’t wait to order it:
“Mining a generation of experimental, visionary DJs/producers, Impulsive! re-imagines legendary jazz tracks from composers like Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, Pharoah Sanders, Yusef Lateef and more. The music of Impulse! was a crucial component to the development of jazz music in the ’60s and ’70s, allowing its artists a home to work out their most creative ideas, and that spirit continues today with Impulsive!”

(about the Fixed Mobile Internet Convergence really taken off )
I started reading Linksys just released a – you don’t have to sit in front of your computer to talk to your friends anymore – cordless handset supporting Skype. (thanks to John & Karel)
I noticed that Nokia Mobility Conference 2005 to be held in Barcelona on November 2-3 is all about convergence too…
I also read this cool interview with Russell Buckley who co-writes Mobhappy now with Carlo Longino.
Then I actually wandered what happened with The Mobile Technology Weblog that Russell initiated over a year ago – this blog has always been one of my favourites, and is now written by Oliver Starr. What can I say or add more? As he puts it so nicely “… this cat is getting out of the bag and I don’t think it’s going to go back in.”
Just read his three latest posts (1, 2, 3) and you’ll understand that the convergence is definitely being shaped.

When looking a bit deeper into the ‘reinventing radio’ issue I brought up in my previous post, I popped into this interesting internal BBC project called
“Matt Biddulph, Paul Hammond, Tom Coates, and Matt Webb show us how radio is a reemerging technology experiencing a resurgence in popularity and relevance. They explore how radio can be improved by introducing feedback mechanisms and by ultimately making it a more social medium.”
Using principles of social software, the BBC becomes more of a peer than a broadcaster.
Can you dig? But there’s more…
“They wonder why we treat network computers as dumb receivers for broadcast content when they could be much more social and allow for interaction with both broadcasters and other listeners. ‘Phonetags‘ bring folksonomies to radio, allowing listeners to tag songs with a cellphone as they listen. They also explore how techniques as simple as group listening can add to the social experience of radio.”

“Podcasts are radio shows automatically delivered over the Internet to your computer. The UNICEF Podcast is a new global radio service focusing on the health, education, equality and protection of children.”
Nearly live reports on “Frontline Diary” of children facing trauma and families rebuilding their lives after Katrina, Youth Movement against Violence, the global struggle against HIV and AIDS and much more thrilling stories….
What we (nearly) cannot see on TV anymore, we can now choose to hear, thanks to podcasting… Reinventing the real sense of radio as a global media?
