Kurt Vonnegut Dies
Ursus:
I knew Walter long ago, decades... His girlfriend at the time, her name was Karen, her last name escapes me.... Stanley, perhaps? Brilliant woman, viciously smart... committed suicide not long after. Very sad...

I have always liked their music IF you listen to the Don Byron Romance with the Unseen CD you can hear Aja quoted in Perdido, which is really interesting seeing how they borrowed some the Duke. I love the East St Louis Toodle -oo cover, almost note for note from an Ellington recording, pedal steel subed for the trombone and lead guitar for trumpet.

I love "referential art" -- but you'd have to specialize so extraordinarily to keep up with it! :D And I used to listen to a lot of Steely Dan, even before I could appreciate the nuances.
However, some of the earlier material brings back some terrible memories, that was a difficult time in my youth. I can only listen to them when I feel strong enough. And then Karen Stanley's suicide pretty much closed that chapter for me.
It is also possible that I may be overly morose today so pay no heed to my ramblings.... :roll:

BTW, Concord has really changed! My Marian McPartland CDs don't look anything like the one's on that website, HA! Mine are pretty basic white, with some red highlighting, just basic black text and a few photos...
