We of clearance, Clarence!

The gottiness of some people combined with the deafening silence of others are staggering.

I hope the rerouting of the data bypassing the CDC will not affect the trustworthiness of the future reports.

Bennie Green - Back on the Scene (1984 RE Jap) Donald Byrd - Chant (Tone Poet) Jazz epistle - verse 1 (1990 RE) Abdullah Ibrahim - Dream Time Johnny Griffin - The Congregation (1984 RE Fr) Those 80's French repressings with slightly oversized covers really require twofer outer sleeves.

Lennie Tristano - New York improvisations Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars - In the Solo Spotlight! The Curtis Counce group - Carl's Blues Buddy Tate - Long Tall Tenor

Founding Fathers ! So much confusion between 0°F and 0 K.

Jamal created the concept of samples, without even sampling anybody else! His mixes of outbursts, breaks and furtive lines within an ethereal atmosphere can be quite enjoyable. Of his early recordings, I like the Epic & Okeh records but tends to prefer the live recordings at the Pershing or the Spotlight club. A later recording, Jamal plays Jamal, has great moment(um)s. From his very recent outputs, I have listened to his Olympia concert with Lateef (I only enjoyed the solo Lateef part) and his Marseille recording (solid date).

So sad news. I had the pleasure to listen to Keith Tippett co-leading Viva la Black in Grenoble in 2008. Thank you for the mujic and for the positive vibrations!
