Yeah, I know. But you can always just scan through it. Check the book out too, it’s great.

Yeah, 3 months now. sleepless nights all over again :) The Ethiopian stuff is awesome, as is ABBA. I did a workshop once with Muhal Richard Abrams. We were all instructed to play rhythm changes in different keys. He’d point and shout ‘You! rhythm changes, E’ and away you’d go. Eventually the entire band was playing in different places, in different keys and different speeds. Have to say it was rubbish :) But, I just heard Cage’s 4’33” and got a lot from that. always good to be pushed around a bit by music and expectations. Enjoy the playlists. M

20 new albums in a week! That’s a challenge in itself :)
