(Walter Davis, Jr. 1932 - 1990)
"Wherever he is, something very hip is happening! Hey, Me-aaann . . ." Amiri Baraka, Eulogies
Friday, 17 February 2012. The sun shown today. It must be (or must have been - speed of light constraint) a message from Sun Ra (or a message from Ra transmitted through Amiri Baraka). Anyway it's been a day filled with music - Charles Mingus: The Clown, Jazz Experiments & Pithecanthropus Erectus; Thelonious Monk: Live at the Jazz Workshop; Teddy Charles Dancing with Bulls & The Teddy Charles Tentet; Schubert Lied; Haydn: The Seasons. Gary Giddins' & Scott DeVeaux's very exciting book (700+ pages plus 4 CDs), Jazz.
Also enjoyed a fine lunch at the Bamboo Café - one of the few fine restaurants in the Capital City and the only restaurant that I know of that provides very hip music overhead (Miles, Trane, Patricia Barber...).
So, let the music take you.
