Given how little time (and brainspace) I’ve had to read over the last month, I’m beginning to think that SWANN’S WAY wasn’t the best choice.
PHAROAH – Pharoah Sanders
A classic as new and vital as the day it landed. Essential.
WOODEN MUSIC I - Tomasz Stańko Quintet
By turns rollicking and elegiac, often within the same composition. Purchased both this and the upcoming WOODEN MUSIC II on vinyl. So good.
First time in more than a week that I've enjoyed my early morning writing time. While I've always known that it was an essential part of my day, a balancing ritual to the last month’s seemingly endless swirl of shit, the past few days – and the enjoyment derived from it this morning – made visceral just how much it's required to keep me from falling too far into… less beneficial directions.
My brain needed today’s day of nothing (except voting).
