REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This isn't coincidental or accidental. We're seeing the greatest purge of Black power since the era of Reconstruction.” (H/T @motherjones.com ) #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Change is no Emergency… and AOI is no Buhloone…, but I liked and still like both of these albums quite a bit. “Time Bomb” tips the balance in TDP’s favor.

Har skrevet om «Borh Sides», det nye albumet til den modige saksofonisten María Grand, for dagens Musikkmagasinet. Ikke like skjellsettende som glimrende «Reciprocity» fra 2021, men en fin plate der opp og nedturen takles med fleksibilitet, eleganse, ro og verdighet. Tekst i papir- og e-avisa.

Oslo! Hvem kan leie ut et rom eller hybel til en PhD-stipendiat fra Praha som skal være i Oslo fra 22. mai til 21. juni? Han kan betale opp til 9000 kr.

Dersom du ikke klarer å la være å presentere tullete raseteorier i fylla så bør du enten være ærlig på at du tror på denslags fjas, eller så bør du slutte å drikke. Fylla gir deg ikke nye holdninger. Den bare fjerner filtre du har ellers.

Always grateful to visit Stephane Grappelli’s magical music room at his home in Paris. Thank you!!!!!! 🎻🌎🎹🤎

"When that rhythm section locks in, some times when on the bandstand you just get a feeling of elation. It's just spiritual, the connection between the pulse and what's going on. It doesn't happen constantly, because you couldn't stand it.” Happy Birthday Percy Heath born April 30, 1923

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Side B of Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra was recorded at Judson Hall, NYC, on this day in 1969. #jazzsky

Forslag til ny Black Debbath-låt: Problemer innad hos avgiftskuttgrabukkene. Kronglete, skal jeg innrømme, men om noen får det til er det vel Lønning og co.

Was alerted today of a recently released German bootleg of Jan Garbarek's 1967 debut album, Til Vigdis. I've no idea what the quality of this unofficial repress is, though I very much doubt it's much to speak of. If JG learns about this, I bet he'll be fuming www.discogs.com/release/3701...

"I like any and all of my associations with music - writing, playing, and listening. We write and play from our perspective, and the audience listens from its perspective. If and when we agree, I am lucky." Happy Birthday Duke Ellington born April 29, 1899

Noen som vet hvor man kan få en god espresso tonic i eller nær Oslo sentrum? På forhånd takk.

Finally, my view is - you do you boo! Love whatever format you prefer and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In the end: support artists and buy their music in whatever format you prefer. 7/x

Folks complain about high prices for LPs, new as well as reissues, and with some exceptions rightly so. But asking the equialent $66/€56 for a bleedin' SACD is really taking the p*ss. Not that I'd ever consider buying a copy myself, even in this case it's Marquee Moon.

Jeez - two previously unheard performances from free jazz legend John Tchicai: a 1969 set where he leads a quintet featuring Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Hugh Steinmetz and Pierre Dørge and a shocking duo performance on flute and horn w/Peter Kowald boomkat.com/products/i-c...

"I started playing with Lester Young, and I kept doing the Atlantic sessions while I worked with Lester. Later, when I joined the MJQ, I had to leave, and the record people said, 'We might have to wait until he comes back.'" Happy Birthday Connie Kay born April 27, 1927

Screaming hot take: It’s entirely possible that Somalis test out on standard IQ tests with a lower mean than western people (100), because IQ is meaningless racist, sexist, colonial, eugenicist bullshit designed to produce exactly such a result. IQ is bollocks. Utter, total bollocks.
