subbing for seohyung's flying ruckus. free jazz and birthday boys. fundraising night too. thoughts going out to mark turner and his family after his accident and hopefully successful operation.

at first nothing is;
then transforms itself to be air
sometimes the air transforms itself to be water;
and the water becomes rain and falls to earth;
then again, the air through friction becomes fire.
so the nothing and the air and the water
and the fire are really the same--
upon different degrees:

Sun Ra and His Band From Outer Space/Shadow World / Sun Ra / Nothing Is...
Mourning (Velorio) / Hermeto Pascoal / S/T
Dunce / Lowell Davidson / Trio
Till Autumn / Roscoe Mitchell / In Walked Buckner
And Now the Queen / Paul Bley / Barrage
My Ship / Andrew Cyrille & Maono / Metamusicians' Stomp
Bo Brussels / Mark Turner / In This World
