80 today Happy birthday to the very inventive musician John Surman (born 30 August 1944)

One of the great legends of British Jazz, John Surman, turns 80 today. We’ve been touring Europe for the past year promoting his quartet album “Words Unspoken” on ECM Records with the masterful Thomas Strønen & Rob Waring. Happiest of Birthdays, dear John 🤍

Between plunging the last knife into the heart of the record industry, and platforming Joe Rogan, the amount of damage that Spotify has done to our community is almost too much to contemplate.

Rereading Robert Hughes's essay The Decline of the City Mahagonny on visual arts vs the mass media and more. One of the great essays, I think. Stunningly well-written and prescient. newrepublic.com/article/105862…
