Still on a Sun Ra kick... well, really, I've been on one for years now!... And I am still coming to terms with the amazing outputs of Anthony Braxton and the Grateful Dead... at some point I'll get back to Mingus and Cecil Taylor... these would seem to be my major listening preoccupation these days... that, and selected classic Blue Note albums... and various John Zorn projects... I am slowly working my way through the Art Tatum solo recordings on Pablo... he was really something!... sometimes I just shake my head and think, did I really just hear that? Incredibly fast runs, fancy, fast playing... "Crazy Fingers" indeed... speaking of which, I absolutely enjoyed revisiting Blues for Allah, the first Dead LP I ever bought... not the first I listened to: that would be Live/Dead... the older I get, the more I appreciate the spirit and gumption Pigpen added to the band... lately I've been enjoying "Easy Wind"...
