While I continue working on a couple of research projects that have consumed the past 6-weeks, I realized I hadn’t posted here much, although I continue to dance of the grave of what used to be social-media daily. Here is a brief post on an interesting stream I’ve been listening […]
They All Came Out To Montreux
If there was ever a party that you knew about, and wished you could have attended, this would be it for me. I wish I could have been at the Montreux Jazz festival in 1969, or possibly 1972. My awareness of the power of music started with the 1969, the […]
On This Day: Benson – The Other Carnegie Hall Concert

Kwame Brathwaite
I’m late in marking his passing but I’d bet most people reading this don’t know of Kwame Brathwaite’s work. You should. He didn’t do much work for Creed Taylor, but two of his liner pictures, coincidentally from albums with Hubert Laws, had a big impact on me. Brathwaite album cover […]
