actually, this serves as a symbol for the State of Jazz:

I am continually mystified by the mythology of these so-called new "beats." It's all simple patterns; this stuff wastes too much intellectual energy trying to justify itself. It's silly, and rhythmically less complex than, say, a Billy Higgins accompaniment.

that's the one I saw. I also thought he had died.

btw, is Joseph still alive?

that Joseph solo is a masterpiece, so quick and careless, which I love - reminds me, strangely enough, of Ira Sullivan in his later years - the sense that he has nothing to prove or emulate, so let the youngsters re-create. For guys like Joseph and Sullivan this was still new music. They never look back, which I love.

actually, I'm more concerned with sound than looks.

in case anyone is unsure, this is the Ray Charles whose a singer and blind. I think he's dead now.

a little quote from a Village Voice blog: "He was vilified by the gay community for his silence during the AIDS crisis. Playwright Larry Kamer wrote of Koch's legacy: We must never forget that this man was an active participant in helping us to die, in murdering us. Call it what you will, that is what Edward Koch was, a murderer of his very own people. There is no way to avoid knowing that now. "

7 CD box; still sealed; $50 plus shipping; paypal: alowe5@maine.rr.com

Koch was NOT a good mayor - remember J51? It was the law he espoused that resulted in the destruction of middle-class housing in NYC, and led to the current creation of a one-tier city of rich people, and more rich people. He was a terrible racist, attacked African Americans in obvious and not-so-obvious ways, playing to what amounts to the NYC suburbs of Queens and Brooklyn, and their racial fears. He was a horrible guy. http://www.nytimes.com/1982/07/22/nyregion/koch-wants-sro-hotels-barred-from-j-51-program.html

to this I say NAY (or is it NEIGH?) -

the emperor has no clothes. Paradoxically, though I listened to it, I find it unlistenable.

always liked this one: http://bombsite.com/issues/46/articles/1744

is that the green/brown label company or the white label?

where's Hoppy? Still want those CDs; please communicate.

I agree; it's essential.

the book isn't bad (Life In Eb) but filled with too many sections of puffed-up and badly written prose, I think. The little section on Al Haig, however, is illuminating. There are lots of arguments over who was the "real" wife; Don Schlitten told me he accepted Chan because she was the mother of bird's children.

did they saw a woman in half yet?
