Currently enjoying Fred Frith!
And in two week's time a review of Wayne Shorter on his 80th birthday - not to be missed!
In anticipation of this I have changed the CD in my automobile from Miles Smiles to Bitches Brew -progress of a sort.
Quote from Sleeve notes of Bitches Brew:
"so be it with the music we have called jazz and which I never knew what it was because it was so many different things to so many different people each apparently contradicting the other and one day I flashed that it was music. that's all and when it was great music it was great art and it didn't have anything to do with labels. and who says mozart is by definition better than sonny rollins and to whom."
Depressingly familiar.
