This is beginning to nudge Braxtonian proportions.

As with Braxton, I make no real attempt to keep up with ALL of it. But hell, the guy's 80 and keeps using the best players, Ad when you add Henry Threadgill to the mix (as on the other new release), hell, I will make NO pretense of being even slightly disinterested!

Plus, digital - unlike analog records, which can and do go missing for any number of reasons, this digital stuff...losing/erasing that is all but impossible. No crate digging required, just....server sleuthing?
