after listening to this yesterday & this morning, i was thinking of uploading this show, but found that it is already available at 
here’s another musician that i don’t have a lot by. this full show (early & late sets) was seeded by ‘mottsmcg’ on dime in 2015. according to robert glasper’s website, he’s 
lately, i’ve been listening more to groups for whom i have few, or even only one, show (not to take away from the many great, and sadly often late, jazz musicians, from whom i might have rather more shows or cds). generally, those are groups less familiar to me & there’s a tendency to comparatively new jazz as well, which is a nice bonus.
i must have seen something about barbara thompson earlier this week and forgotten it, because the other day, there was a search for barbara thompson & also her homepage, inexplicably open in my browser. some mid-spring fugue perhaps. it all ended with me listening to this. with a lot of kurt weill, you know it started well for me, and so it also ends up here. incidentally, this performance was not long after the release of the kurt weill tribute 
on monday, i listened to most of the shows that i have recorded on may first. there were a few, but not as many as i’d expected. not a popular day musically, i guess, unlike say new years eve. this was one of them, which i quite liked.
