gone

2009-10-17T13:03:00.008-04:00

that's it. this formal goodbye is meant for thanking some people
bacoso and reza, who were the main inspiration for starting this blog
el goog
simon666
katonah
ish
and many others, those who I have been following, some few ones who were contributors to the blog, those who sent invites (wara katsu, radenko, jazz-nekko, soulfood, lafayette, blackclassical...)
and many others..... (e-mile, arkadin, quimsy, art simon, burning blue soul, fritz the cat, and a bunch of anonymous :-) )

see you
it was fun

"Originally issued on the Norwegian Sonet label in 1971 and later re-released on Soul Note (without "Concerto for Self-Accompanied Guitar"), The Essence Of... contained George Russell's first large-scale work to incorporate electronic elements from contemporary classical music as well as an emerging influence of modern rock. "Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature" is a massive work in which a jazz big band made up of many of the period's finest Scandinavian musicians serves as the backing orchestra for the very youthful Jan Garbarek quartet with guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Arild Andersen, and drummer Jon Christensen. A fairly abstract tape made up of moody, organy sounds is generally running in the background, sometimes predominating when the orchestra subsides [...]" ~ Brian Olewnick, All Music Guide
