Oblique (album)

Oblique is an album by jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson featuring performances by Herbie Hancock, Albert Stinson and Hutcherson's regular drummer Joe Chambers. The album was originally recorded in 1967 and first issued as catalog number GXF-3061 in Japan, in 1980. It was remastered and re-released on CD as a part of the Rudy Van Gelder Edition in 2005 with a different cover artwork. Oblique marks Hutcherson's second release in a quartet setting, his previous being Happenings from 1966. The personnel on Happenings are identical, save the replacement of Bob Cranshaw with Albert Stinson.

The pieces

Oblique is different to his previous sessions, because there is less emphasis on Hutcherson's compositions. He contributes three tunes to the date, all of which are of a more lyrical, subdued style. The one Hancock composition is of a more funky jazz-rock style, yet very laid back, likely due to the lack of horns. The set closes with two of Chambers' compositions, in his typically ominous and avant-garde manner.

Oblique (film)

Oblique (2008) is a film by the Norwegian artist Knut Åsdam (1968).

Synopsis

The 13 minute film Oblique (2008) is an articulation of identity in transition. The entire film was shot on a train moving through a continuous mass built from cities and their adjoining regions. The characters are traveling in the suspended generic space of the train through regions composite of old and new economies and old and new social realities: Newly built outer areæ around the cities, construction sites, institutional and office buildings, transitory places, between growth and collapse, marked by quasi-contradictory processes of economic progress and development of slums. On the train coach itself, a targeted but sometimes absurd narrative plays itself out as a linguistic reaction to the time and place.

Urban environments, and their heterotopic sites, are locations for Knut Åsdam's investigations into social design, patterns of behavior and modes of subjectivity, with a particular focus on spatial identity's disorder and pathologies. Åsdam perceives a city as a machine of desire, its geography as a system of desire and its architecture as a generator of desiring practices. Usage and perception of public urban spaces, their structures of political power and authority occupy a central place in the artist's studies of identities.

Stray (band)

Stray is an English hard rock band formed in 1966. Vocalist Steve Gadd (born 27 April 1952, Shepherd's Bush, London), guitarist Del Bromham (born Derek Roy Bromham, 25 November 1951, Acton, London), bass player Gary Giles (born Gary Stephen Giles, 23 February 1952, North Kensington, London) and drummer Steve Crutchley (born c 1952) formed the band whilst all were attending the Christopher Wren School in London. Richard "Ritchie" Cole (born 10 November 1951, Shepherd's Bush, London) replaced Crutchley in 1968. They signed to Transatlantic Records in January 1970.

The group's brand of melodic, hook-laden hard rock proved to be a popular draw on the local club scene during the early 1970s. However the band did not have commercial success with its record releases. At one stage Charlie Kray (brother of the Kray twins Ronnie and Reggie), was their manager. Gadd left the band in 1975 due to artistic differences and was replaced on vocals by Pete Dyer. The groups early musical style consisted of blues rock, acid rock and psychedelic rock. They then went on to join the hard rock and progressive rock movement.
