    "I think records were just a little bubble through time and those who made a living from them for a while were lucky. There is no reason why anyone should have made so much money from selling records except that everything was right for this period of time. I always knew it would run out sooner or later. It couldn't last, and now it's running out. I don't particularly care that it is and like the way things are going. The record age was just a blip. It was a bit like if you had a source of whale blubber in the 1840s and it could be used as fuel. Before gas came along, if you traded in whale blubber, you were the richest man on Earth. Then gas came along and you'd be stuck with your whale blubber. Sorry mate – history's moving along. Recorded music equals whale blubber. Eventually, something else will replace it."

    I've been listening to a bit of Tim Berne recently. It led to Googling 'Julius Hemphill', Berne's mentor. 

    Amongst other stuff, I found this almost tear-jerkingly beautiful performance by trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez, his band and guests of Hymn for Julius Hemphill. Go on, don't be scared, give it a try :-)

    A musician whose concept I - to be absolutely honest - have been struggling with for a while. Like Cecil Taylor's music, there's tremendous depth in Joe Maneri's work, but I'm not completely there yet.

    However, it's so sad to hear of his death. I'll let someone who does understand his work say some far more effective words:
