Appalling crime. This just made me sick!

Sheldon S. Wolin: Politics and Vision Expanded Edition
Continuity and Innovation in Western Political Thought

Incredible book, well written and enlightening. Highly recommended.
First heard of Wolin because of Chris Hedges who interviewd him few months prior to his death.

The one by Robin Kelley is terrific. It also raised the bar for future biographers of any jazz musicians.

First time I probably heard the Wolof language...

The beat on Origine is killing me.

Great vibe but that's just it. Will these rappers ever grow up?

I wish this had only Aesop rapping over these beats, which are great. Can't get into Sandman at all. Earsore.

It's about time we see an album based on Marx's Capital.

Feeling this.

that's great, thanks LONDON.



She's playing the Splash Festival which is not far away from me,
but no doubt she needs to work more on her live appearance.

I haven't had a chance to play the entire album, but a few tracks via soundcloud. For a 32-piece orchestra, the compositions are pretty weak and I can't feel the 'spiritual' part in his music at all. I guess that if this was released on Cuneiform or similar, they wouldn't be celebrating it so much. ...

Discovered her recently, thought she's nice...
and if she keeps the right track as an independent, in 5 years.. even non-believers will be converted.

Great list & read, :phila: Here's mine: 1. Company Flow – Funcrusher Plus (Rawkus, 1997) 2. Juggaknots – Clear Blue Skies (Fondle 'Em, 1996) 3. Mf Doom – Operation: Doomsday (Fondle 'Em, 1996) 4.

aHepN1G7Drk edLWmyTegvk Not very pleased with the ECM master quality of this album but I'm seeing them in July at the Ghent Jazz Fest. It'll be a memorable evening no doubt: Bill Laswell & The Master Musicians of Jajouka feat. Bachir Attar with Material; Jack DeJohnette ‘Made in Chicago’ (feat. Muh...

it leaked and came out. there's a reason why you haven't heard much about it. That's usually a good sign. Checking it out. Nah unfortunately i meant it the other way. You're honestly better off listening to his #tbt mixtape from last year, it's miles better than this album Probably true in this cas...

When rehearsals go bad.. sounds dull.

there isn't a sunday morning in my house where coltrane ain't getting spin :cheers: I recently met Larry Appelbaum, jazz curator at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., on his visit to Germany at the Jazzinstitut in Darmstatt and he told the story of how he discovered the Thelonious Monk Qu...

Not saying I don't like this. I've only listened to handful of songs shuffled in Spotify and I already like it more than Good Kid ... but the best possible thing that could happen with this album is that it gets a whole wave of teenagers/college kids into jazz. Plz recommend some good jazz. This is...

It was interesting how Mc Eiht's style changed over the years.

Love the 'Fetti' beat.. would have been great to hear Roc Marciano on it.

I haven't heard Sage in a minute. Always great, always savvy.
