Afric Pepperbird is recommended! 1967!!!

Followed by:

Discovered thanks to Clifford's BFT Now on track 4, "Substance II", which develops on the tune of traditional "Santa Lucia" and then a succession of popular melodies.

Last night started off with: ...then:

fascinating interview!

Thanks! Unfortunately didn't go to Brooklyn this time, we stayed only one night and that was in Queens, Elmhurst to be precise, and loved the neigbourhood especially the great food. As for NYC Jazz Record, your series of interviews there has been great. I still read it even from here in France, even though going through the actual paper in parks or the subway was nice! We went to the movies on the first day of the Vision festival, the 5:30 schedule with documentaries on Cooper-Moore and longer one on Charles Gayle and the Sound Unity Festival. Less people there than I would have expected but we were in good company, Henry Grimes came to the screening! Another highlight from the rest of the trip was the fantastic top floor of the Washington National Art Gallery: the Rothko and Barnett Newman rooms. Great works in abundance that are not very common to see in Europe. Thank you all for the advice, I am keeping the references for further visits.

Any idea if this documentary will be playing in Europe? (and wondering the same about the Lee Morgan film). I second the thanks for the Pharoah tracks, great to hear!

Only recently purchased this set. It is full of wonders. Already been through discs 1-5.

Interesting share! Hunan cuisine is really the most spicy in China, while Sichuan cuisine is tingly due to sichuan pepper. Shousi baocai, duo jiao yutou and maoshi hongshao rou are favorites!

I'm planning on getting this new book, Agitation Frite, edited by Lenka Lente which holds interviews with: Gérard Terronès, François Billard, Pierre Barouh, Michel Bulteau, Jac Berrocal, Jacques Debout, Dominique Grimaud, Albert Marcoeur, Christian Vander, Richard Pinhas, Gilbert Artman, Pascal Comelade, Christian Rollet, Guigou Chenevier, Jean-Jacques Birgé, Pierre Bastien, Bruno Meillier, Daunik Lazro, Dominique Lentin, Jean-Marc Montera, Didier Petit, Yves Botz, Dominique Répécaud, Camel Zekri, Noël Akchoté, Christophe & Françoise Petchanatz, Lê Quan Ninh, Jean-Marc Foussat, Jérôme Noetinger, Jean-Louis Costes, Jacques Oger, Jean-Noël Cognard, Sylvain Guérineau, Julien Palomo, Yann Gourdon, Romain Perrot.

These imagined conversations sound like a strange idea. Would Szwed still be the first place to go to, or this newer book?

Looks interesting, thanks!

Getting ready to leave to New York this coming Thursday to visit brother and family in New Jersey (an opportunity as they are only there for one year). We will be travelling between the 18th and 30th, but will only have a few days for visits having some writing to complete. Have any of you made recent visits or been to some exhibits that you would recommend? As for social history and/or jazz music, would you recommend any particular museum or sights? I am not sure if we will be seeing many concerts since we will stay in Princeton, but will definitely look at the NYC jazz record and might select one night. Thank you all for advice!
