So about Olly Wilson...

Have you had a chance to see his film on Albert Ayler? I had coffee with Kasper Collin a couple of weeks ago. They are doing some screenings in NY & LA to see if they can get it on the Oscar documentary short list (15 finalists, from which the 5 nominees are selected).

Planning on going...

Interesting article about a recently-deceased artist in LA, RoHo, who collaborated with an artists' group/space called Studio Z for a while. "RoHo began staging concerts and poetry readings in Studio Z's cavernous space in Inglewood that was once an old dance studio, booking his practitioners of avant-garde jazz such as saxophonists Julius Hemphill and David Murray, pianist Horace Tapscott, woodwindist John Carter, trumpeter Bobby Bradford and the performance-jazz troupe the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Photographer Tylon Barrea attended the latter: "During Malachi [Favors]'s solo, one-third of the ceiling fell down — and nobody paid any attention."' https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/enigmatic-artists-garage-holds-out-against-south-las-gentrification?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=artbound

Never heard of seen this, and I'm a big Mal Waldron fan. A trio with two pianos?

Rachel Maddow included two scenes from 30 Rock with a character making jokes about being pinned by Weinstein. Weinstein has been known to be an asshole ("open secret") for decades in Hollywood. All the networks & print sources have buried that story for many years, regardless of administration. Weinstein has given to political candidates in the past; no reason to think his treatment by Hillary would be any different (i.e., they wouldn't care). When the NY Times finally ran with a story, and the New Yorker the following day, as has been pointed out, it probably has as much to do with Weinstein not being as powerful now as he once was, and that Ailes & O'Reilly & Cosby have already gotten hit, not which political party was ascendant. Tangent: Ronan Farrow is the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. Ronan, named Satchel at birth, is estranged from Woody since Woody, another problematic male, had married Ronan's step-sister. Political: Donald Trump, another admitted sexual predator, is president of the United States, a position which theoretically involves being the defender of the nation's laws, and also means that one should be held to a higher ethical standard, than movie producer. It's a false equivalency. However, i could readily imagine Trump & Weinstein going bar hopping and groping females together in NY in the 1990s Observation: Most people in the world don't speak out about things until they are in a safe place to do so. That includes actors, who as a group generally are insecure and want public approval. No surprise that Paltrow & Jolie would wait til now; but if their statements help more come out now, that would be good. Anyone who claims to be shocked though was in a state of willful denial. Another observation: One brave woman actually recorded a conversation with Weinstein for the NYPD, (and that is now being played all over). The prosecutor's office sat on it and never prosecuted, it is said, because she had also accused other powerful men of groping her. (Presumably Weinstein has friends in that office as well.) The problem here is that the woman becomes the one to blame if she should accuse more than one, even though it seems more likely that multiple powerful men had in fact hit on her. People in power like to preserve their power, and so their ongoing general desire to blame the woman first (and then by extension in other cases, blame the victim first) is still largely the rule. And many people in power believe that they are entitled to whatever they take. And movies have an ongoing trope: Male protagonist is horrible; woman doesn't care for him; but in the end, as long as he keeps after her, then at some point she gives in and is happy to be with him. As long as that fantasy keeps being peddled to horny lonely men, why would they start thinking that they need to behave like decent people?

I'd been hoping for some live material from the Christian years; really looking forward to this Bootleg. Now hoping that the next one will be live material from the tour with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

Potential simple solution. Don't use the Grateful Dead page. Just go straight to the Rhino site: http://rhinostore.warnermusic.com Search for Grateful Dead, click on it, etc. My order went through. Confirmation # ended with #9103 if that means anything.

I was at that concert; I had no idea it was issued. That was a fun show.

Sorry I couldn't make tonight, but it's looking good for tomorrow in Chinatown...

I'm just sad about this. I'll miss him. And what everyone else has already said.

Totally going to try to make one of the LA shows, although it looks like I'm moving this month as well, so all my time may be in packing.

Received this: Dear Friend 4 new CDs ready to be shipped: Steve Lacy : Shots hatOLOGY 680 (first time as CD available !) 752156068020 Re-issue of Musica LP 3024. The original LP release was awarded 1980 by "L'Academie du Jazz, Grand Prix Avant Garde". Ellery Eskelin : Solo Live At Snugs hatOLOGY 731 (new release) 752156073123 Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, Kent Kessler, Michael Zerang : Tales Out Of Time hatOLOGY 733 (re-issue) 752156073321 Excerpts of reviews: Quite patient in its approach, the quartet renders an amazing recording... AAJ / Marc Corroto This is an excellent album, certainly for anyone who enjoys the music of either Brotz or McPhee. It is rooted in the blues, in ballads expressing a deep mournfulness, but it is by no means traditional sounding. It does lean more toward American free jazz than most European free improvisation. It is more melodic and conventionally structured than many Brotzmann recordings, based on themes rather than being totally free. ***** – Autonomeus on September 23, 2014 Herbert Distel : Travelogue hatOLOGY 734 (new release) 752156073420 Die Reise (Yourney/Trip) and La Stazione (Rail Station) are available as Rail Notes on hatOLOGY 2-594.

emusic.com has a bunch of these. I've downloaded two and enjoyed them. Same notes as above, pretty much.
