I'm on Urban Magic now, so not done yet. Would agree it is closer to earth than Tutankhamen, but we are talking like it's out there by Pluto instead of in the next galaxy...
 
I'm just not sold on all the squawking, squeaking and hi-jinks in the background. This New York is Full of Lonely People is nice so far, I expect it to devolve into madness any second now.

I think actually seeing this type of music being made makes it more interesting. You get to see the musicians interact with eachother. You see the variety of ways they use the instruments differently to make the sounds. You see how intensely they concentrate.
It really dispels the idea that they are just BSing everyone and making random noise.

I took a friend to see William Parker, William hooker and a sax player earlier this year. She was enthralled. Honestly watching William Hooker play the drums made me realize that he really has a different experience of life than me. Seeing him play made me realize that he is so much more in touch with the heightened emotions it takes to be a creative person and make a statement than I am. I mean everytime he sits down to play his instrument he is attempting to do this. It’s not the same as me sitting down at my computer every morning at work.
 
I had also loaded up Nice Guys which is so pleasant, I had to look to see what it was to find out that it was also Art Ensemble.
