Marion Brown

listening to amina claudine myers's POEMS FOR PIANO, a solo piano tribute record to marion from 1979. nice impressionistic versions of MB songs, got me wondering about a few records i havent heard yet:

Governor Deval Patrick declares September 15 Marion Brown Day in Massachusetts.

so cool. now we need Pat Patrick week.

Yeah, definitely.

Whoops, just noticed Marion Brown Day was last year.

Still, it should be celebrated every year.

you could take a personal day every year.

sheffield needs to have a derek bailey day asap

not that long ago i picked up a sweet euro CD twofer of Geechee Recollections/Sweet Earth Flying - pre-internet, in the uk these albs were really elusive - now you can buy em new for less than the price of a packet of cigarettes

Yeah, Impulse! put out that twofer in the US in 2011.

"Sweet Earth Flying" is sweet indeed.
