relativity music
Last night - very early this morning, DJ Stan at WFMU got into some really special music. If you go to the Archives for Stan page, start up his 3/28 program & advance to 1:05:30 you'll hear the entire Relativity Suite (1973) by Don Cherry & Jazz Composers Orchestra followed by the complete Pharoah Sanders Black Unity (1971), over an hour of two extraordinarily beautiful landmark recordings of that musical era.
Bit of chill in the air, I went outside wearing the spring uniform, hooded zip sweat jacket & a baseball cap, setting sun trying to burn through clouds, & some very pretty bird chirping. For some reason, this old suburban area attracts a variety of migrating birds, good songsters among them. It's not the Elizabeth River; the rivers in my previous town had more attractive water corridors, which fortunately drew egrets, cormorants, & even an occasional Blue Heron, none of which I see around here, but there was less abundant music in the trees, fewer glimpses of shapes & colors I couldn't identify. Nor do I recall hearing a really wide variety of birds when I lived near some extensive woods in North Jersey (although that place had tree peepers). Overall, I prefer the wide-winged water fowl. I don't know the names of the birdies hiding in the branches.
