You might recall I recently posted on Drabble's "Jerusalem the Golden." If you get a chance to read that one, I'd be interested in your critique. I have "The Waterfall" sitting about here, was going to read it after "Jerusalem," but got distracted with Muriel and with Doris Lessing. Currently doing battle with Lessing's "Four-Gated City." Almost done with that and shall post additional thoughts on it.

This was the show I attended, 1968. Only time I saw Hendrix, but I still remember the show. Marvelous. Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell were also way cool too.

THE GRIP - India Navigation LP- 1977- Arthur Blythe (as), Ahmed Abdullah (tp), Bob Stewart (tp), Abdul Wadud (cello), Steve Reid (trap drums), Muhammad Abdullah (perc). A really fine album.

Aside from the interesting cycling angle, Taylor Ho Bynum has arranged some first-rate concerts: Cuong Vu, James, Fei, Lisa Mezzacappa, Phillip Greenlief, Myra Melford, Anthony Braxton Trio, Nicole Mitchell, Mark Dresser et al. I hope these will be recorded, or at least put up on YT.

I think someone is about to get "SLAPPY"!

That "Slappy" moniker has me concerned.

Good question. I'm not finding any news reports yet. Maybe Colinmce can provide a source.

The Taco Bell guy should be prosecuted. As for the Boston Marathon girl, can you be prosecuted for complete stupidity? OTOH, death threats to her parents? I don't have a Twitter account; it seems like a time-suck and rather pointless (or dangerous). I wonder how many folks here have a Twitter account?

His work with Hemphill is truly memorable; also that with James Newton and Anthony Davis. I've Known Rivers a very fine album amongst a number. RIP.

RAPPORT - Ran Blake - Novus LP. Gave it another spin since Jonathan brought it up in the JLH reissue thread. It's a good album, not sure it would produce the demand of the Carter/Bradford or Tapscott, but deserving of a CD release.

This link takes you to an extended account of an interview with Helen More, might even be the whole of the book: http://jasonpalmerjazz.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/the-story-of-helen-morgan-if-you-didnt-know-already/
