Creative new music from Chris Cooper + Bhob Rainey plus Lee Ranaldo, Jim Jarmush, Marc Urselli, and Balazs Pandi. Dis-mote the ages with archival Mingus and Zappa while we revisit 1981 and the jazz future that could have been with Arthur Blythe, James Blood Ulmer and Ronald Shannon Jackson. With stunning cuts from Laurie Spiegel, Blacks’ Myths, Sun Ra and the Flying Luttenbachers as well. Annotated playlist in the comments.
