From the Times article: “To Columbia, KCR is more a nuisance than the bearer of a great cultural legacy,” said Eric Ingram, a current D.J. and former program director. If so, that's a sad state of affairs and a sad commentary on Columbia University.

Anthony Braxton: Six Monk's Compositions (1987) (Black Saint) I would have preferred to hear another drummer on this. Or no drummer at all - Buell Neidlinger carries the rhythm on his own.
