Conjure : music for the texts of Ishmael Reed
(Conjure: Selected Poems 1963-1970)
Often overshadowed by San Francisco, its twinkling sister city across the Bay, Oakland is itself an American wonder.
The city is surrounded by and filled with natural beauty -- mountains and hills and lakes and a bay -- and architecture that mirrors its history as a Spanish mission, Gold Rush outpost, and home of the West's most devious robber barons.
Oakland is also a city of artists and blue-collar workers, the birthplace of the Black Panthers, neighbor to Berkeley, and home to a vibrant and volatile stew of immigrants and refugees.

This is very interesting. I've never heard of Butch Morris before and I think his music should be listened as a whole. It's hard to grasp his direction with one track only...
Thank you for the heads up, Dimitra
hard enough to choose a track...interesting is also his collaboration with David Murray,glad you enjoyed the track!
I always find your posts the most economical but also the richest in terms of musicality and musical exploration. So many thanks indeed for your posts which always offer such a wealth for the ears.
PS: It's nice to have back.
