it's awesome but the interview parts are pretty stark and weird. but mostly it's color video of solo piano performances, which would be interesting enough if that's all it was. i mean, i'm just saying that it's much better than the art-world jargon makes it sound.

Cool. I will have a ticket from MUBI GO come Friday. Maybe I will try to attend with our old friend forks.

Although I have doubts I can get into that particular screening unless he has extra pull.

I would go but I'm away through next week - I didn't even know it was opening at BAM until yesterday.

Damn, he wrote so many good tunes. Monk had bars.
