I write for PT and am still not entirely clear on the fate of the magazine.
I have submitted reviews for a "Fall" issue but do not know when that will run.
I just play whatever I want for whomever I want.
Most of my friends are pretty cool and appreciative of my musical taste. As I likewise am or try to be.
Paul Bley - Barrage - (ESP-Disk' orig, red label mono)
cool lineup w/ Graves, Gomez, Marshall Allen, Dewey Johnson and cover art by the great Michael Snow!
Max Roach & Anthony Braxton - One in Two, Two in One - (Hat Hut)
From the boxed set that also contains Shepp's set, entitled The Long March. Cover art by Niklas Troxler!
I passed on what I believe is Jean-Luc Ponty's first recording, with the Wolfgang Dauner Trio, an MPS pressing (originally on Saba) for about $15. Wonder if I should've bought it...
Kanye seems like a total douche, as does Fiddy but I'd probably trust Fiddy to come up with a few more decent tracks at the end of the day.
Anybody hear the new Britney tracks yet?
