honestly my eyes went straight to Louis Rukeyser

"Ornette At 12 / Crisis" (2017, Real Gone Music) unites two Ornette Coleman LPs on one CD for the first time. Here's Charlie's "Song For Che". w/ Charlie, Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Denardo Coleman. Recorded 1969. youtu.be/d1Jyt8Cx5ls?... #charliehaden #jazz #jazzmusic

this is, as they say, one of the hardest music pics ever taken

yet another surprisingly fruitful HPB visit

exceedingly rare non-depressing HPB visit

Here's a great documentary about John Coltrane featuring Jimmy Heath, Roscoe Mitchell, LaMonte Young, Wayne Shorter, Rashied Ali and Tommy Flanagan: youtu.be/f2B2SfClFtg?...

All you have to do is sit in a busy wing stop and you will learn how bleak shit is.

most sophie’s choice one of these yet

one of the greatest records ever, cannot recommend it more highly

"taco bell y2k menu" and there's no grilled stuft burrito or baja chalupa, get real

alan silva adds something special to everything, but especially to GUO

3 permutations of "After The Rain" on piano: 1 - John Coltrane, solo at The Showboat in Philadelphia, 6/10/63

read this book aprx. 8000000x as a kid, and also always appreciated the Iowa connection; the Bloom County house was close by, and when my wife & I were married in the Iowa City courthouse, there were original BC strips on the wall of the judge's office.

hot take: Get Up With It is highly overrated and carried by HLHM. "Red China Blues" in particular is atrocious. if I had to pick 5: -Filles de Kilimanjaro -The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions -Miles At The Fillmore (The Bootleg Series Vol. 3) -On The Corner -Agharta/Pangea or Live In Tokyo 1975

I also love the opening take on "I've Got You Under My Skin", based presumably on Dinah Washington's arrangement from 1954

predictably frustrating, as he hedges basically every single claim. and the bracket frame is not remotely as convincing or clever as he thinks.

swoon ❤️‍🔥

I know the whole "all trump cares about is" thing is reductive but it does seem like what he is most interested in personally this time around is just turning DC into Mar-a-Lago

will take any opportunity to share this article and also this descriptive image included therein www.furious.com/perfect/usma...

I have this program at work that I have to open every 90 days or else I lose access to it and have to go through training again to get it back. that’s kinda how I feel about listening to “Shoe Shine Boy”; if you don’t remember the last time you heard it you better boot it up.

stopped at this walmart in 2004 enroute to Chicago and purchased: -1 grilled cheese from the diner (prepared in the microwave) -1 Homeland Security-approved Ready Kit which was a backpack full of supplies to help one survive another 9/11 should Al Qaeda choose to target Harmon, Il pop. 111

I have never been to cracker barrel, nor would I ever go there, but this is what happens when a chain fully commits to preparing everything out of a boil bag

Jazz drummer Smiley Winters in Oakland, California, 1969. Winters recorded his free jazz album "Smiley Etc." for Arhoolie Records that same year. Smiley Winters Interview > arhoolie.org/smiley_winte...

best non-Trane Impulse! LP? for my money it is

morning music

reading Evan Parker on VV 61 inspired me to break this out, & today I was particularly struck by the variety of original artwork used. a relic of the height of major label production budgets to be sure, but also a sad reminder of how cheap, unimaginative, & perfunctory the look of things has become

#cdfriday + space savers unite

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here. The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

excellent album

much love to Bobby Bradford, this is a very nice piece. when I was in Pasadena a few years ago I picked up a copy of the (excellent) Stealin’ Home CD at Poo-bah that’s discussed in the article. the owner said he had just dropped them off the day before. would’ve loved to catch him.

Graham intro into a peak Help > Slip > Franklin is one of the sickest things ever caught on tape. hype every time.

one of my favorite bands doek.bandcamp.com/album/coconut

the short-lived Eldridge/Kamuca Quintet of ‘65-‘66 was a nice band. only 2 recordings available, including one of airshots from the Half Note just as seen below

RIP Sheila Jordan
