As far as I can tell, Grace is under one of those moderately large hats.

I suggested that to Mosaic. They were not interested. They said that the albums were too inconsistent in quality.

Anything by Sun Ra. The Mosaic people told me so, in response to my email suggestion that they release some Sun Ra.

I know he's in there.

I understand that there are contemporary indie rock forums, much like Organissimo, devoted to today's rock. It would be very interesting to get the perspective of those who post heavily there to the comments made on this thread. Let me guess---they might respond something like, "today's rock is the best, but you jazz people are so far out of it that you have never even heard of the incredibly esoteric indie rock artists we worship, which are making music which is billions of times better than the old wretched stuff that you are clinging to from your youth." I have heard young people say things like this in response to someone who has praised 1960s or 1970s rock.

I'm guessing that it's Bobbi under there.

My 12 year old daughter and her friends, who are all quite intelligent and articulate for their age, have talked to me often about how the rock music from the late 1960s and early 1970s is so "lame", so "simple-minded" and "not nearly as good as what we have today." They view the rock and pop that they listen to as far superior, in terms of objective quality. Our neighbors behind us were playing their outdoor speakers too loudly and we were serenaded all weekend by a playlist which would have been popular in 1972. I made some comment about "these kids playing their music too loud." My daughter and her friends said that "only really old people would play music that bad."
