You don't have to pass on hearing it... It's already hearable. And it really is a must-hear record!

3 CDs is a lot, and Milford is a full time listen by himself. -

The trio is just fine! -
Looks like you'll have to settle for Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, sorry. A good Tony Boogaloo from early 65, would be nice. A flutey prequel to ,"Island ,Blues", not so much.

Of course, the power dynamic. That's pretty much how life works. Not a question of if it's there. Whoever among us is not preparing our children to be clear-eyed, sober, and mentally armed with the necessary ammunition about how these things work and how they can be made to stop working is not doing their job. And that includes strongly encouraging victims identifying whatever might be inside them that predisposes them to accepting a domination that diminishes them and then .along all the noise in the world about that. Not what makes a pig a pig, but why did I let that pig have that power to begin with. The ultimate power, the ultimate freedom, lies within, not without. The sooner we get people locked into that ttruth, and the more people we get there, the better we are doing our job to stop the pigs. This playing with the fire of powerful long is anything but a new phenomenon, so we either identify all root causes and evolve forward or else accept it as our natural destiny and wallow down for the long haul. Not sure that Facebook shaming is really going to get it done, but hey, lingua Franca, I suppose. Still, people are usually lazier than the pigs of power, so...but let's at least try.

But.,.flute or tenor on this 45?y guess would be flute, but I would hope to be wrong.

Right, but surely she has regret for thinking that fucking _____ will get me ____ . And healing only comes with full, not selected honesty. Or hey, maybe she really loved the guy, or maybe he fucked her so damn good that she thought she did. Maybe she now feels regret for letting the dick get to her like that She wouldn't be the first. Same with Coleman, dudes get into a good pussy and don't have any kind of good sense about getting out i would hope that he has regrets about ding that, and that he expressed them. I mean, legalism and contemporary mores aside, we're talking about two people consensually fucking for a few years outside the bounds of a typical romantic relationship, and then, uh-oh, it goes bad. There's more than enough disappointment to go around if they want it, not that they do. Whoa, that's just wrong. Honesty with oneself about oneself is the ultimate empowerment! And an enlightened empowerment feels good, not bad!

Are you really ready to open up the can of worms about the sexual tensions and very real histories of White Women and Black Men, not just in Jazz, but in general? There are true love stories and true pimpho stories and true jungle fever stories and everything in between. And now, this... There are certainly frownable aspects to this whole sordid story, but a sterile cluckcluck really advances nothing. Peoples and their legally consensual sex gets complicated in a big hurry. Has she expressed disappointment in herself yet?

It has been stipulated by both parties that the relationship was consensual. To me, that means that both parties were fucked up. So that means that older people can be approached by younger people and as long as the age of consent has been reached, it's game on. Per Kissinger, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, right? The lesson to Coleman is obvious, but is there any indication that Ms ,Grand has learned the lesson that a body and it's pleasures are easily weaponized, and that weapon ownership comes with a deep moral responsibity of its own? Not seeing that, just seeing that Steve Coleman blah blah blah. Well, that part is right. But part is not whole. I mean, they fucked for how long? It must have been good to them until it wasn't. You don't keep coming back over and over for a totally bad fuck. Humans aren't wired for that. There's a deep catalog of written and musical literature about shit like this. Expect to see more in the centuries ahead.

Great record, a must-hear.

Wow...dark days ahead ..

Except that some people still do. The list of things that should have stopped by now but haven't is a long one, it's a list full of things that go back far longer than Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, and if you are going to depend on the law to take care of you...good luck on that one. Laws are subject to change at any given moment and with any given people. And it's so much more than sexual mores, which is always going to be a charged proposition, regardless of age. Rape is rape, no definitely means no, but but flirty, maybe racial/sexual dynamics (and maybe both ways), power dynamics (again maybe both ways), Stella and/or Steve needing to get their mojos back, PYT feeling hers...Rape is rape, but consensual...ok, there are degrees of "willingness" but in the end, that devil of ambition can get anybody of any age to sign that contract. Again, own your shit, period. And know where to get some voodoo. And that goes both ways too.

I guess you can still get it as an option in cars? Or is that too over with now?

Now, what will the library do with it?

Beatles records weak spot is the extraneous repeat. Beach Boys uncontested champ in that particular battle of the bands, Brian a master at getting in, telling the story, and then getting out. Beatles damn near always lathered it up more than needed for a good shave. And has anybody fade-ended more consistently delightfully than Brian? His yin to Alfred's/Rudy's yang. They would...seemingly give you another record just on the fades. Brian was, like, BYE! the record would be over before you heard it not playing. But Charles Lloyd, why hasn't this turned up at least one other place than on this 45? The B-side has, albeit in a presumably unedited/less edited version, on Nirvana.

Flute or tenor? Not that it matters...

Ok, thanks! Do Apple computers contain DVD/Blu-Ray drives now, or are they also considered obsolete? My last PC, a few years old now, I had somebody build from scratch for me, from parts bought at - yay! MicroCenter. I shudder what to look forward to eif I buy a new computer (even PC) from some palce like Dell, I wonder what I'll I'll have to "add on" that I now take for granted... Same thing with cars, probably even more so with cars. The last renatl we had had nothing but a USB port...presumably you're supposed to Blu-Tooth it from your phone straight into the car, which...ok, but not what I'm looking for out of either "road trip" or "commute". iPad, yes, love my iPad (last time I used it, it still worked?), but just doing a playlist or something and letting it go, with no eas of "oh fuck, that reminds me, goota here THIS now"...I am not too old to drive, but I am too old to fuck with a phone while driving. Or flasdrive interface, maybe. OTOH, I still have the USB floppy drive that I bought 10+ years thinking that I might need ir for something...not yet, I haven't! But if I do, I'm ready, as long as it's not a 5.25" floppy. Still have a few, but you know, gotta go with the times, right?

John Hammond bot Handy at Monterrey in 1965, George Avakian got Charles Lloyd there the next year...Was there rivalry between the two? Especially since Avakian/Lloyd left Columbia for Atlantic?

So, a "Superdrive" is a multi/omni-format optical drive for Apple devices? Or is there more to it than that? Don't yet have any Applefolk in my family, but want to be ready if and when. My son is about to get into vinyl, so anything's possible!

2nd disc, duets with Laswell, I actually found "easier" to listen to. Laswell functions more as "context provider", which works just fine here. Milford is not just four bands in one, he's more more than that, more than just one band per limb, he does so much with each limb within itself, I really could not stop listening to him and just him. Not that Wadada "got in the way" or anything like that, just that...I don't know of any living human who could single-handedly, in real time, on a monophonic instrument, match up with all those neural impulses being so perfectly speaking at once, it seems impossible and maybe it is. So I need to adjust back in to what is actually happening, hear it all at once. But that is going to take a lot of discipline on my part because....wow, Milford. All of which means that Disc 3 tomorrow is going to be interesting, to say the least! -

Ah, books. Ok, thanks! Skip that Freeman book and stick with Tingen. Other than that, no opinions, having not read them. What does Gregory Davis have to say? -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_N._Vitaliano Nothing glaring here, so, still, fuck 'em both. Although, in the back of my mind...middle-aged African American male, young European white woman...where does one go to find a comparable measure of findings when both/same? Apparently, for this, none, new laws, but before, for he/she said... For the record...was she 17 when they started fucking? Apparently not, so, facts matter? And...is Coleman going to get hit by further accusations, is anybody thinking that this might be serial behavior on his part? I'm reminded of what the devil says when he comes to collect on the contract and an objection is put up - you could have always said no. But you had a choice between getting this and not getting it, and you chose to get it. That goes for both of them. Immature people make immature decisions, no matter their age. And the bill always comes due. I mean, whatever happened to good old-fashioned voodoo? These fucking modern rational people, no wonder jazz is dead.
