the solstice has past and the world has made it through the ringer. i have some good stuff on the waY, i promise; including sabu martinez afro-temple, terry bozzio in trio form, some interesting herbie stuff and others. I would really like to find Fictitious Sports by Dave Mason.
Camille Yarborough is killing me, the original "take yo' praise" blows that fatboy slim bullshit off the map.

Snow Global

Read a long Bukowski poem to my lady last night at bedtime. Stuck on the description of the young kid as "like looking out on a vast sea of milk that has not even a ripple from a thrown pebble." Drove home a little affected through a light snowstorm at 3am the other night, not to mention the night before, similar story, without the snow. Needless to say my confidence in karma/raw abilities is quite high. Want to thank MyJazzWorld, El Goog, Soundological Investimigations, Ile Oxumare and a bunch of others in the syndicate that I've been digging lately.
I was checking the Fela thread on Sound Opinions recently, reminded me that there are some Tony Allen (Africa 70's drummer) LP's that carry that banner in a fucking funked up fashion. Like these two - Jealousy/Progress.
In the 'Twin Cities' - sports, fireplaces, bros, big sky, long distances between things and souls. back in the city tomorrow. Met a girl named Tawny who works at the Filmore the other night, a nice splash of local color in a whitewashed plane.
also listening:
Eric Dolphy- Out to Lunch
Mingus-Live @ Cornell 1964 (w/Eric Dolphy)
El Mexicano- Move up Starsky (nice collection of recognizable reggae mish-mash with some dancehall flows nicely grooving on top-especially dig the title track)
I'm looking for a good acid jazz comp. if anyone has any ideers/if anybody reads this thing.
That is all.
