I’ve been relistening to this show as I prepare this post, which I don’t often do, and I have to say that I had a few nice finds today. The Susie Ibarra Trio track is particularly cool. I was also very impressed with the attractive booklet to the Sam Rivers-Tony Hymas collaboration, illustrated by Moebius.
I also realized that after a few weeks of getting used to it, I’m starting to take the program name seriously, hence the new post title. The reference point, of course, is the title track to the David Holland album of the same name. It’s a great name, first because I love the album and especially the composition, but also because most mornings as I walk from the train to the station, I get to hear my own conference of the birds in verdant Evanston. It’s also kind of nice to let the air-quoted “jazz” go from the program title, even if the programming isn’t set up for any radical change.
