IN THE EARLY 70'S....ALL THE GREAT BLUES AND ROCK GROUPS YEARNED TO PLAY THE CONCERT HALLS OF THE PALACES OF CULTURE......MY FAVORITE MAY BE THE SIEGEL-SCHWALL BAND.....IT'S A BIT DATED OF COURSE, BUT SO, REALLY....IS JUST ABOUT EVERY ELEMENT OF 35 YEAR OLD POP CULTURE......

WE WEAR THE SAME SHIRTS

Wacko Robyn, pissed, as is his custom, in his Escherian blouses, spewing good, if cynical, ideas with his oddball songs....here with his best accompanist who patiently waits for him to finish his patently puerile stand-up comedy act..........the darko cloud about him is the shape of humanity.....ever-shifting.....raining fateful aspersions upon the foibles of hypocrisy.

TUNISIAN JEWELS.......

ancient rhythms, drums, tambourines, reeds ....the soul of Islamic culture.....the great Anouar Brahem.....John Surman, Jack Dejohnette, Pat Metheny and Dave Holland and Gary Burton......all seek the same beckoning well of infinities.....
