"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

I want to co-sign PRB's suggestion of Joe McPhee's "Nation Time". Recorded in my hometown (Poughkeepsie NY), I had no idea that someone local was blowing like that. And I think Joe still lives in the area, a Hudson Valley record shop was selling a re-issue of this, w/ the proceeds going to Joe.

Also wanted to mention, since Peter Kerlin's name came up: at one he led a group called "Peter Kerlin Octet" (two vibraphones, two basses, organ, drums, percussion, and viola), I don't know if they are still active but they made one recording - "Salamander" - that I really love - I think it's an underappreciated gem.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:15am
Passaic River Blues:

@PKNY: I was astonished that McPhee was not only from Poughkeepsie but still releasing records in and around there. It felt like when I learned Sonny Sharrock was from Ossining, where my wife grew up and does not seem like it would be the homebase for a free-jazz god. I grew up on the other side of the Hudson Valley in the unfunky Jersey borderlands.

Coronavirus Authority Blues (for wfmu)

I've got a little juke-box in my ear . . Pumping elastic galactic charm . .
I radiate forms and vibrate frames . . Riding waves to and from my pulsating grave . .
Ancient of days, fresh in my brain . . Arms and legs come again . . Never ever entirely expecting the same from the weather . .
I dropped a feather on the floor . . Carried in from unfathomable distances combined . . But under my nose, a rose does grow . . My imagination beats it's drum from any possible location . . Near or far . . Memory or dying star . . Seen and unseen . . My body is the truth . . My breath, the process of all worlds.

I'm sad to hear that the great Tony Allen has passed away. Such a huge influence on music.
I think it was Eno who called him the greatest drummer in the world, and he was right. I was lucky enough to see him perform once with the Chicago Afrobeat Project - he had such a huge presence when he walked on stage.
