One helluva nailbiter in MLC this evening, going down to the last ball. Texas hung in and won by 3, 285-182. It's almost midnight here and my heart is still racing...  I'm getting too old for this late-night drama!

Heavy days, Karl (and Alexander). I’ll be listening to Apura! this weekend; a fantastic album, though it’s been a minute since it was on deck. Truly natural playing is indeed uncanny & catches one off guard. Louis is/was definitely among the most natural. For whatever reason, the record that really caught my ear back then was the Rudd/NYAQ on America, which has a condensed looseness totally apart from the Graves version.    I saw Moholo-Moholo twice, once with Circulasione Totale Orchestra and once with Kidd Jordan, William Parker, and Dave Burrell. The small group was the most distinct and easiest to pick out what he was up to, and I hope it was recorded.

Thank you, now everything is clear.
